TO BOYCOTT AMERICA
Westphalian Gazette Sounds Keynote
OF After.WaF Action.


Of After.WaP Action.
Amsterdam. Oct. 26.-''No buying
from America If 1t can POSSIBLY be
avoided" must be the German watch
word after the war. Is the assertion of
the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette, an
important German industrial organ.
The reason given by the paper is that.
before the war. the balance of trade
many:was against Germany to the ex-
tent q nearly 1.oo0,o0o,o00 marks a
year. Germany imported from the
United States goods to the value OF
LII, 100000 marks while German
exports to the United States amounted
to f1s.ooe,0oo marks. Dividends on
German holdings OF American securi-
ties. in addition. helped to pay the
bill for goods bought in America.
How could we possibly meet a still
further increased debit balance"
asks the paper in despair. I'VE had
to realize our American securities to
pay for raw materials while the
demurrage on our ships held in Amer.
lean ports"
The conclusion seems inevitable to
the Gazette that Germany must SO cur
tail her cotton and copper imports
from the United States that they do
not exceed. or only slightly exceed, her
own imports of fertilizers, dyes. chem
icals. etc The rest Of Germany's
erstwhile imports from America, it
says. can and must be stricken off the
list.
Our imports of American agricul-
tural machinery must cease" says the
writer. THE openings Offered in
Russia. Rumania and the Balkans are
so great that we must push our own
machinery there With gil our might"

commissioned officers have been sent
to Jail for three months as a result of
a trial by court martial for accepting
gifts of from 500 to 5000 francs from

FRANK l. COBB ABROAD
New York Editor, Formerly OF To-
= peka, a Representative of President.

News from New York of interest to
many old-time residents of Shawnee.
county states that Frank L. Cobb is
on his way to Europe on a semi
diplomatic errand. 1t Is thought that
he is sent to canvass the situation
abroad very thoroly and will report his
conclusions to the president.
Frank l.. Cobb, now chief editorial
writer for the New York World, was
born in Shawnee county in 1869. and
the first town he was ever in was To-
pel1a. In later years he left Kansas
in newspaper work, and from 1896 to
1900 he was editorial writer for the
Detroit Evening News. He went to
New York in 1904 to become editorial
writer for the New York World. He is
said to be by many readers of the larg-
est American papers the best editorial
writer in the country.
Mr.. Cobb is one of the few editorial
writer's who have had close relations
with President Wilson, and has been
frequent visitor at the White House.
At the time Lindley NJ. Garrison re-
signed from the, cabinet. it was said
by his friends that he could have had
the post now occupied by Secretary
Baker.

RMS analysis OF the expenditures IN
the north and west shows conclusively
that political influence has been
brought to bear on the secretary of
war. and that he has not only made
these expenditures for political reasons
but for sectional purposes also" Mot
ter says. IF the present political in
f1uence is to continue to control the
location of eneampments, no doubt
some of these which are now located
in the north will be abandoned and
new ones established, and that the
other war activities will be further
concentrated in the south.

SAGE TEA DARkENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-tirne Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use If Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back TO grandmother's
time. She used II to keep her hair
beautifully. dark glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
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 a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with ii and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, II becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

Fort Smith will furnish the gravel

Gov. Brough has under the most
careful and serious consideration the
question of calling an extraordinary
session of the legislature He has
received from 500 to 1000 letters. pc
titions, and requests for calling the
session, and there have been num-
Der of strong delegates calling on
him, especially from the border
counties to insist that some. relief
be given.
The governor has attempted to
sound out the members OF the senate
and house on the subject, and has
received number of replies. At
least five of the senators, some of
them supporters of the Prohibition
account OF the expense, and for the
further reason that they believe the
enforcement of the bb-Kenyon
act by the Federal authorities will
provide all the relief necessary at
this time.
Gov Brough propounded two ques-
tons to the law makers: First If
they would agree to waive their per
diem. and serve the few days neces.
sary. for their mileage; second, If
statutes correcting the flaws in tha
bone dry act and ratify the federal
amendment, and adjourn.
The response has not been suffic.
lent yet to determine what the senti.
ment of the majority may be. but
the governor will not act until after
the Supreme Court disposes of the
motion for a re-hearing.

It's Acid Stomach
That Makes Millions
Sick and Suffer

Life Is dark-not worth much to the
man or woman with an acid-stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope Ambition.
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength Of
the strongest body-impov the
blOod-causes untold suffe ring-makes
millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-
mature old age.
You know what acidmouth does 10
teeth and gums-how the acid literally
eats through the hard enamel, causing
the teeth to decay. Just imagine, then,
what havoc an acid stomach must do to
the delicate organization of the stomach.
Millions Of people are weak and unit,
suffering all the time, in one way or an
other, from superacldity or acid-stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak,
listless, dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable; lack power
and punch, frequently have severe at
tacks of binding. splitting headaches;
subject to fits of melancholia and mental
depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out Of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach pains
digestion poor-never getting anywhere
near the full strength from their food.
So, you see, it's just this-acid-stom
ach-that IL holding 80 many people back
--sapping up the strength they should
get from their food-taking away their
vigor and vitality-leaying them weak
and inefficient.
