PLANS MADE TO BEGIN

Chairman Eben Learned Prepared to
 Start Campaign Next Monday.

Eben Learned, chairman of the Red Cross campaign for war funds, which is to be launched in this city on Mon day May 10th. and which will end on May 27th, has completed his arrange ments for the drive and the chairmen
 of the various committees are heard at work perfecting their plans for the second campaign which this organi- zation will inaugurate to raise funds to carry on the great work which it Is doing in connection with the world war.
 The publicity committee which is composed of John M. Lee. Charles A.
 saxton, Adelard Morin, Roy D. Judd, Herbert B. Cary, Dr. J. A. Crowley
 and William P. McGarry. has organ ized and planned a campaign which 1 is designed to molle the public ac-
 quainted with the great relief work which this patriotic organization is
 doing in this world crisis.
 It is generally recognized that the Red Cross organization differs in pa triotism with other government ac- l tivities only in character and as be- 1 ing just as important to the winning of the war as the support of our ar my and navy. Because of the tre- mendous importance of the work it is l the intention of the publicity com
 nnittee to enlist the support of the i business interests of the territory within the jurisdiction of the local chapter in underwriting the compre- l LenSive advertising campaign which
 has been prepared by the National
 Advertising committee, every detail of having been carefully planned under the direction of experienced advertis-
 ing men.
 The banks. manufacturers, profess
 sfonal men and all business organiza- tions will be invited to cooperate in i this publicity campaign which is deemed to be essential to tue success
 of the drive but the plan as outlined by the local publicity committee is one
 that will make it easy for the busl-
 ness interests who will be asked to 1 assist and the cost will be spread so thin that no individual or concern will feel it a burden.
 It is expected that the committees

At the Sheltering Arms, Sunday af- ternoon there was a well attended ser vice conducted by W. H. Geer, assisted
 by Mrs, F. H. Bushnell and Miss Flor
 ence Bennett.
 A selection of passages from the
 Bible relating to the ministry of wo-
 men was read. Said the speaker, All the gospel writers told of the women as they were helpful to Christ or were at the cross, the latter being more inn portant Our Saviour brought women into her true place. He didn't forget his mother, on the cross. He said to the beloved disciple, Behold Thy Mo ther. It was an example for us, what the mothers should be cared for and provided for.
 The worth and services of women are so felt in the world today that theirs is prominent place in life. Many
 names of women go down in history
 like bright stars, such as Florence | Nightengale and Queen Victoria Trough the Red Cross, women have
 come to the relief of the soldiers who
 are protecting our country. What Wo- man is doing in the world today is g
 comfort and inspiration to us all. | Very pleasing was the singing oi | familiar hymns. Mrs. Bushnell an6 1 Miss Bennett were heard most ac- ceptably in the duet I Must Have My Saviour With Me. and Mrs. Bushnell
 rendered in fine voice, An Evening ] Prayer.

LOOK YOUNG! COMMON GARDEN SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENs so NATURALLY NOBODY
 CAN TELL.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder ful effect. By asking at any drug store for 'Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot tie of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses .Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two. it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful, This preparation is Q delightful toilet requisite. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-. vention of disease
