POOLANDCARD
ROOMS TO
CLOSE
Governor Nose Says No Time
For Real Men to Idle
Away Time.

That the prOprietors of pool and
card rooms in Idaho may prepare to
meet the edict that the states chief
executive, Governor Alexander, is soon
to announce, closing their establish
ments during so-called business
hours" is apparent from a statement
authorized by that official 1t is to
the effect that he will soon issue a
proclamation, mandatory in FORM call
ing upon the sheriffs and boards Of
county commissioners, mayors of
cities and boards of trustees of vii
lagos, to close such pool, billiard and
card rooms. The action win be taken
as war emergency measure. Gov
ernor Alexander believes that the
mandatory power is vested in him by
the laws of this state to take the ac-
tion.
When he declined Tor the present, to
issue a call converting the legislature
in extra session. Governor Alexander
announced that he had the power to
close pool, billiard and card rooms.
The state council of defense recon-
mended in resolutions suggesting
needed legislation, that "A law be pass
ed requiring such places Of amusement
to close down.
Force Idle to Work.
1t is understood that the forthcom-
ing proclamation will permit the pool
billiard and card rooms to remain open
after business hours, or at night. The
purpose it is understood of the forth
coming mandate, is to force idlers fire.
quenting such places to take up some
form of employment that will be ben
eficial to the government in the pres
ent war crisis during the day time
Governor Alexander held when max
/ ing the announcement, that there was
no use discussing the issues involved
He stated that if the spirit of the
proclamation is not complied with
more drastic measurers will be taken
! to see that it is, but he does not an
/ ticipate the latter will be necessary.
Il will issue IL proclamation within
a short time to sheriffs, county com
missioners, mayors and village boards
of trustees calling on them to close all
pool, billiard and card rooms during
the business hours" announced Gov
ernor Alexander. The purpose of this
proclamation will be to keep the idle
/ from frequenting such places and tc
have them 20 to work"
Is Not Drastic.
Governor Alexander was asked if he
did not believe such proclamation
would be somewhat drastic.
No, l do not" replied the chief ex
ecutive. 1T is not at all drastic We
have not begun to make sacrifices as
yet. No man idling in card rooms and
pool and billiard halls while his fel
lowman is shedding his life-blood il
the trenches to preserve the honor Of
his country, has right to complain
The governor was asked If he die
not think such a mandatory proclama
ton would take away civil rights, t.
which he replied:
II do not think any man has any
right during the war than to do his
duty to his country. If he is too younf
or too old to fight In the first line o,
defense he ought to be willing to d.
the next best thing-to stand behind il
and make it impregnable."

EFFECTS OF WAR
PINCH HOLLAND
Thousands of Refugees, Ger
man Deserters and Wounded
Sold;c-cs to Feed, a. @up-
plies Are Shut Off.

The people of Holland are greatly
disappointed over their treatment at
the hands of the United States" &C
cording to J. c. Baars OF Amsterdam,
Holland, who stopped off in Omaha
en- route to Deli, Sumatra,
"We do not feel that the people in
this country realize the task that con-
fronts Holland" Baars said. "We
are now feeding 100000 Belgium
refugees. 5000 German deserters and
wounded prisoners of war and 5000
English soldier who are wounded. or
have escaped from Germany prison
camps.
THE United States has stopped ex-
porting wheat and corn to Holland
and it is working a great hardship on
our people. Bread is now selling at
36 cents loaf and we are allowed but
200 grams per day. This is 50 grams
less than the maximum in Germany.
"We have had to butcher our live
stock on account OF the shortage of
grain with which to feed them. This
has necessitated the closing of many
of our factories manufacturing butter
and cheese, our principal industry"
Questioned as to the supplying of
Germany with imports from the
United States Mr. Baars stated that it
was prohibited by the government and
that 10000 men were in prison for
attempting to smuggle to Germany
before the practice was wiped out. An
army of 100000 men he says is guard
ing the border to prevent smuggling.
The taxes for the support of the army
is proving burdensome to the little
state
Fats and oils are becoming very
scarce in Holland" said Mr.. Baars.
but in Germany the condition is far
worse, according to Germans desert
ing the army and reaching Holland.
Large quantities of wheat are being
brought into Germany from Russia
and Roumania, relieving the shortage
in cereals"
Mr.. Baars is in charge of party
of 50 Hollanders en- route to Sumatra
where they have employment on rub
Der plantations. He was accompanied
to Omaha by F. J. Hartman and J.
Hins. They arrived on the New
Amsterdam and will reach their
destination via China. The trip will
take three months, due to the Suez
canal being closed, necessitating the
trip by way of America.

HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Why suffer the handicap Of looking
old. Gray hair, however handsome,
denotes advancing age. We all F"ow
the advantages Of youthful appear
ance.
When the hair fades, turns gray
and looks dry, wispy and scraggly
just few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
hundred-fold.
Either prepare the tonic at home
or get from any drug store large
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" ready to use; but listen,
avoid preparations put up by drug
gists as they usually use too much
sulphur, which makes the hair
sticky. Get "Wyeth's," which can al
ways be depended upon to darken
beautifully and is the best thing
known.
By using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair. 1t does it so
naturally and evenly-you moisten a
sponge or soft brush, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at time, which requires but
a few moments. Do this at night
and by morning the gray hair dis
appears; after another application or
two its natural color is restored and
it becomes glossy and lustrous and
you appear years younger. This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight

cine. 1t is not intended for the cure,
