Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages of youthful appear
arlce. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. Whensit
fades, turns gray and looks streakea,
just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a 50-cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" which is merely the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients, Thousands Eof
folks recommend this ready-to-use
preparation, because it darkens the
hair beautifully, besides, no one; can
possibly tell, as it darkens go natural
~ and evenly. You moisten sponge
or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it's natural color is
restored and it becomes thick, glossy
and lustrous, and you appear years
younger. - .&5

To Every Patriot who can either

The Government OF tho United

cross ties and then still moro cross

To the Tic Chopper: Wo desire
to say to those who have been cut
ting cross ties for others and who
have been working only three or four
days in the week, that as soldiers

in the week, and to put forth during
the period Of the war your greatest
effort.
To the Section Forcmen Of the
Railroads: We desire to say you
are probably in a better position to
stimulate the production of cross ties
than any other men by reason OF
your short section OF line and your
personal acquaintance throughout
the territory. We ask you to sec
every farmer and timber owner along
your section, and as far back from
your road rs you can, and explain
to them the great need for cross ties.

Every yard that the British advance
astride the Scarpe river now adds per.
| II to this bastion of German resist
ance.
(Unofficial dispatches yesterday re-
ported Lens captured, but Haig's Off
cial only mentioned slight advance OF
British outposts in the city's western
outskirts.)
Apparently, Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff have been caught mapping again.
They little dreamed that the allies
would tackle the strongest defenses
on the western front without long and
hard preparation, but just southwark
of the scene of this latest victory,
General Byng's last fall sent an army
of tanks crashing their way through a
similar barrier OF earth works, tunnels
and barbed wire the size Of a mans
little finger. He thus had the answer
to his problem at his finger-tips; to
wit, he gave the Germans a dose OF
the same medicine, driving wedge
clear through seven rows of defenses,
despite the best efforts of eleven Ger.
man divisions to halt him.
A further advance in this region
must vitality affect whatever plans
Hindenburg and Ludendorff may
have had in mind. Seemingly the Ger
mans believed the allies would pause
when they came UP to the linden
burg line. and as southwark Of Queant
the line has not yet been reached, the
enemy higher command apparently
figured they had some time yet. Foch.
the official timer of the allied opera
tions, however. figured the enemy
would reason that way and hit: Haig
responding like thoroughbred to the
call for action.
Enemy reinforcements are pouring
in from all directions in order to try
to save Cambrai and Douai. I'm
doubtedly they will put up bitter
fight for these places.
AS for Lens | am permitted to say
that not only Lens itself but the coal
basins which are of much value are al
ready southwark of the British adj
vance. The French are keeping up
their pressure eastward of the canal
Dunord while the fighting continues
northward of scissors.
General Mangin is localizing his
blows for the moment, but those in
the direction of Anizy are increasing
the crown princes uneasiness along
the Vesle.
The enemy is making the most des- !
perate effort to hold up the French |
hurting the Prussian /!
