her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance. this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you win get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.

~ and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time, By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention OF

HONORING THE

How Military Men and Civilians
Should Act is Told in
New Army
Rules.

There have been some changes in
the army regulations relative to the
prescribed salute for ''The Star
Spapgled Banner" the national an
them, and according to memorandum
received at the local army recruiting
office today, the following rules now
govern the salutes of men in uni
for and those in civilian dress:
Whenever the national anthem is
played at any place when persons
belonging to the military service are
present, all officers and enlisted men
not in formation shall stand at atten-
ton facing toward the music Except
at retreat, when they shall face to-
ward the fag). In uniform covered,
they shall salute at the first note of
the anthem. If not in uniform and
covered, they shall uncover at the
first note of the anthem, holding the
head-dress opposite the left shoulder
and so remain until It's close, except
that in inclement weather the head
dress may be held slightly raised.
''The same rules apply when TO
the Colors' or TO the Standard are
sounded as when the national anthem
Is played. When played by an army
band, the national anthem shall be
played through without repetition of
any part not required to be repeated

Chicago Tribune: Some loyalists

ual and as representative OF the
socialist party, he solves all human
problems by determining that every
individual and every party opposing

The world thus splits up into two
classes, socialists and rascals. The
rascals have brought about the war.

We are more in favor of quoting
than of arresting Mr.. Hillquit. He
states the socialist doctrine admir-
ably. Better a German peace than
an American victory; better terms

We have insisted that this was the

view and that it is being urged
throughout the country in support of
socialist candidates-here in Cook

IOWA FLAG
is DESIGNED
D. A. r. Chapter Has Sent One FOR
Approval Which if Given, Means
More VIII be
Made.

An Iowa flag, designed by the
Iowa chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, was submitted
today to Governor. Harding and Adj
jutant General Logan by committee
from this organization for official ap-
prevail, says the Des Moines CAPITAL.
If the flag is approved a number of
them will be ordered made by the
d. A. r. and presented to the Iowa
regiments wherever stationed. 1t
has already been approved by the
state council of defense.
Mrs. Dixie Cornell Gebhardt of
Knoxville, Mrs. Henry s. Prentiss of
Iowa City and Mrs. Isaac Lea Hills
of Dies Moines of the state flag com.
mittee submitted the flag. The COM
mittee was accompanied by Mrs.
Harold Howell, Mrs. Jacob. Harpel
and Mrs. Frank Miner Of the Des
Moines association.
The idea to have an Iowa flag
which Iowa regiments may carry with
them wherever stationed has been
worked out by committee of which
Mrs. Prentiss is chairman. 1t is in

Grundy Center Democrat: The
Des Moines Register is criticising
Governor Harding because he did not
assist the drys at the late special
election. With the governors assist
ance, says the Register, the amend
ment would have carried by a safe
margin. The Register is right. II
Governor Harding had openly favored
the dry amendment it would have
carried without doubt. The Register
is wrong when 1t assumes the right to
criticise the governor because he was
neutral" in the late election, or
more because he did not give his sup
port to the dry forces. After the
treatment received from the dry
forces in the state last fall he
surely does not owe the drys any
thing, and the Register is showing
lot Of nerve for criticising the gov
ernor for the failure to pay debt
that he doesn't owe.

THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST US.

The New York City mayoralty campaign
and the judicial contest in Cook county, Illinois,
are Of transcendent Importance to this coun-
try and the world The defeat of Mayor
Mitchell would prolong the war The Berlin
government would tell its people that they had
only to hang on and the pacifst sentiment IN
America would help them make a German
peace Just now, according to letter received
by resident Of Keokuk from friend IN the
metropolis, there is grave danger of the defeat
of Mitchell and the possible election of Morris
Hillquit, the socialist; yet Judge Hylan, the
Tammany- controlled candidate, may win; Ben
nett, the republican, has no chance of victory.
The triumph of the Hillquit- pro German-so-
cialist-pacifst coalition in our greatest city
would profoundly dishearten our allies and be
used in Russia as powerful argument for a
separate peace.
The correspondent is led to fear by what he
sees in the populous east side of New York City
that the danger of Hillquit's triumph is real.
The foreign-bo masses in the congested dis
tricts of the city have been told, and hosts Of
them believe, that if Hillquit is elected peace
will come soon and the price Of food and coal
90 down In this opinion thousands of votes
will be cast for this pro German agitator, who
was born in Riga, Russia, and is one of the
three controllers of the socialist party in this
country AS the Chicago Tribune truly says,
s.American socialism is rotten with anti
Amercanism." Hillquit is an easily classified
individual. He has money invested In Goa
stocks which makes him the wealthlest of the
candidates for mayor. He refused to buy
Liberty bond and urged his followers not t.
buy He would have given the soldiers a

New York and the Government.

New york and the government.
Quincy Wing: Fernando Wood,
the copperhead mayor Of New York,
during the civil war actually recon-
mended that New York secede from
the union, and declare itself sep
arate republic. Almost anything can
happen in New York in political
way for the metropolis OF the United
States is a vast 2olyglot community
containing hundreds of thousands OF
people ignorant of Americas insti-
tutions and ideals.
There is now strong probability
that Mayor Mitchell, who, in the
words of Colonel Roosevelt and
Charles Evans Hughes. has been the
best may that New York has
had in fifty years." may be defeated
in the election - and that
the city will throw it's influence
against the federal government in
the prosecution of the war against
Germany.
Governor Whitman's declaration 10
the effect that national issues were
not involved in the municipal CAM
paign may have done Mitchell a lot
of harm despite the governors en-
dorsement of the mayor. 1t Is diff.
ficult to see how national issues are
not involved when Norris Hillquit
the socialist candidate, has openly
denounced the draft and has con-
demned the war with Germany as a
crime and "the most uniustified war
in the history of the world"
It would not be surprising if Mr.
Hillquit ran second in the race, and
his triumphant election is within the
realm of possibility. He has capital
lied dicOntenment, and traded upon
the ignorance of the vast masses of
the. east side. 1t looks as If he would
have the support of a large number
| of presumably intelligent pacifists.
The declaration in his favor by bud
ley Field Malone, who recently re,
| signed the collectorship of the port
significant, although if Mr. Malone
believes that Hillquit's peace views
are in accord Of those enunciated by
President Wilson in his reply to the
po2e's peace note he has grossly
misinterpreted the presidents posi-
ton.
| Mayor Mitchell has a fighting
chance to win If the vote for William
Bennett, the republican candidate, is
negligibly small as it should be. Mr..

didate has been deplored by the ma
tional leaders of his party and not
one of them has given him their sup
port. The only effect of his candi-
dacy has been to strengthen the
chances of Judge Hylan, the med.
iocre choice of Tammany, who is the
favorite in the election betting.
If New York rejects an official, who
has served it admirably, it would not
be first time by any means, but the
spectacle Of the defeat of Mayor
Mitchell, who has made his campaign
largely on the patriotic issues, is not
one to be contemplated with salts.
