An effort Is now making to round
up all special dividend allotments By
Inducing the corporations which have
declared such dividends to ask theil
stockholders for authority to turn the
specified amounts over to the Red

As an acknowledgment of his ap-
probation OF the help given by New

Probably no campaign ever had 80

results are bound TO come. The max

Around the edges signs already are

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-11-02

One might judge from the early re-
ports from the food conservation cam
paign in Vermont, as given out at the
headquarters in Burlington, that the city
of Barre was the whole of Washington
county inasmuch as Barre has been the
only place reported from the county.
Nevertheless it may be confidently ex-
pected that the 10 other cities and towns
of the county have not been remiss in the
duty of securing pledges from house
wives to save the waste Of food and that
when the time for the final accounting
comes Washington county will be found
well up with the leaders where its place
should be. The larger communities like
Montpelier, Barre Town, Mortified and
Waterbury surely may be depended upon
to give fairly large figures in this i'm
portant campaign.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded
brings back the natural color and lustrt
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray
Years ago the only way TO get this mix
ture was to make il at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bottle
of this oldtime recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients, at very
little cost. Everybody uses this prepa
ration now, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as it
does it so naturally and evenly You
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and glossy
and you look years younger. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound is de-
lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.-Adv.

MAKING SURGICAL DRESSINGS FOR
OUR SOLDIERS.

Perhaps 1t is too much to expect that
the $50 surgical dressings which the
Barre Red Cross shipped on Nov | will
save the lives of $50 wounded soldiers
but it is reasonable to expect that very
many lives will be spared through the
efforts of the Barre women We know
this because of the information sent back
and brought back from the seat of war.
For instance, Miss Marion NJ. Rice of
Brattleboro, who recently returned from
France, where she had been engaged as a
Red Cross nurse, told BrattIeboro au-
dience the other evening that the most
pressing need at the present time in the
hospitals of western Europe is for surgi-
cal dressings and that the materials for
the manufacture of surgical dressings
are not available there Miss Rice stated
further that the wounded soldiers might
be able to live in such clothing as was
available there but that they could not
live unless their wounds were bandaged
with proper surgical dressings With
such tirst-hand information, the women
of Vermont should redouble their efforts
in the preparation of these surgical
dressings, in view of the fact that Amer.
lean soldiers are about to enter actual
conflict with the Germans If there was
pressing need before of this support by
the women of the United States. il Is
all the more imperative, now that our
own boys are to receive their baptism of
fire and become wounded a the French
and British have been wounded for the
past three years and more Moreover.
the women may rest assured that the
products of their labor win find their
way to the places where they win be !
most needed; the Red Cross will see TO Z
it that the articles are shipped to Eu- /
rope and then distributed to the many
hospitals for wounded soldiers. Let us
not become weary in this splendid work. 4
