the resolution reads:
James Elmer White was an un-
usually energetic, intelligent and act
i've lawyer and took an interest in
public affairs. He was much inter-
ested in the progress of Richmond,
and II his life had been spared he no
doubt would have contributed much
For the benefit of this community.
Personally Mr.. White was friendly,
and exhibited toward all persons with
whom he came in contact a friendly
spirit and fair manner of dealing. He
was painstaking in all that he did, and
it was remarked by the members OF
the bar with whom he came in con-
tact, that his work showed evidences
of careful preparation and thought.
Such men are rare in all walks OF life
and this community has sustained a
distinct loss in his DEATH"

GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
Kept Her Locks Youthful, Dark and
Glossy with Common Garden
Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur no one, can
tell, because it's done SO naturally, SO
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use pre-
paration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
BY morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is delightful tot
let requisite and is not medicine. 1t

or prevention of disease.-Adv.

YANKS PERFORM
BRILLIANT FEAT
IN TAKING dun
Will Rank as One Of Most Gal

Showed Unusual Daring.

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
ON THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. D.
By the Associated Press.-The cross
ing of the river Meuse and the capture
OF the town OF Dun by the Americans,
when It's full details are known, will
rank rs one of the most gallant feats
OF the entire operations northwest OF
Verdun. The troops who accomplish

stream was a strategic feat of unus-

The crossing involved the forcing Of
way over the 160-foot river, q half
inile.wide stretch of mud and a sixty
foot canal, in the face Of frightflll
enemy fire, 1t also involved SWIM
ming by those who knew how and the
pulling of others over with ropes.
Graphing irons were used to scale the
sheer walls OF the canal, along which
machine gunners had been posted. un-
der the fire of scores of batteries
from the hills adjoining.
The order to cross the canal came
at midafternoon Monday The troops
received theirsgrim instructions under
q sun which was shining for the first
time in days. The men knew almost
as well as their commanders the diff
Guilty Of the task and realized how
well-nigh impossible its accomplish
ment would be. Yet they never
doubted or hesitated. The orders were
to send over one brigade first, and II
II failed, to send another and others,
one after the other II 1t became neces-
saYy. 1t was with dash that the
Americans tackled the problem. Theo-
retically they had the choice of cross
ings anywhere for five miles. Actual
ly they were limited to one point
where two-thirds Of mile of mud lay
between the river itself and the canal
that roughly parallels the river.
Enemy Firmly Entrenched.
The Germans were too firmly In
trenched at all other spots. They had
not protected themselves with trench
es here only because they never
dreamed that the Americans would be
SO daring as to try to negotiate the
passage. This was a short distance
north OF Brieulles.
All the swimmers of the First Bril-
gade were first singled out and put in
the van. 1t was intended to attack in
this way on the theory that the swim
mers were less likely to be hit by the
Germans owing to the fact that they
would he nearly submerged. On the
other hand, they could carry with
them ropes and other paraphernalia
for assisting non-swimmers across.
The building of pontoon bridges was
put off until at least some American
elements had cross the river.
A perfect rain of fire from the Ger
mans met the swimming Americans.
The enemy had intrenched himself on
the east bank with carefully selected
machine gun positions which raked
every point of tho bank; where effort
to land could be infiladed or met with
direct fire.

disturbances, and these must be cor.
reeted If the children are to get good

the preliminary period for getting the
child ready for school age-the time
for putting money in the health bank.
For this reason the government has
demanded that all children below six

One Of the, best features about the

carried out in Chicago as well a. in every
part of this State and throughout the
country Is the readiness with which
mothers are Bringing thsir children

weighed and measured. This is the
first step in the CREST year-long cam,

mittee Of the Council of National De-
tense, and it is hoped that every child
under six years of age, wiz be thus
tested before the end Of June, and the
sooner the better.
One might ask the question, 'fWhy
weigh and measure these little child
reni' 1t is in order to find out how
well the child is progressing in weight
and height, for If we know this, we have
the best index of his general health.

long, he is in good health, for those are
the figures Of the normal, average

he is probably not getting on as well
as he should. Something must be done
about it, and yOu should see q physician
about his feeding and general health.
