HAVE DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tc!l when you Darkcn Gray, Faded Hair with
 Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkencG, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streakcd appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle 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.
 \ 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 1t has been applied its so easy to use, too. You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw 1t through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hatr disappears; after an0thcr application or two, it iS restored to it. natural color and looks glossy, soft
 and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite It is not intended for the cure, mitigation oil prevention of disease.-Advt.

All single men with an income of ried men with an income of more than 5000 a year should bear in mind that they must make income tax returns before March 1. 1918.
 The income tax law applies to eV- eryone, including farmers and labor ing men who have incomes above the stipulated amount Most farmers of the county will come within the law. A farmer may not deduct his living expenses from his income, any more than person in any other line of business.
 Not few aboring men. now that wages are high, are subject to the in come tax. A large number of pcople e it will readily be seen, arc subject to this tax who never were subject to 1t before.
 The tax is on the amount of income o> CT and above $i000 for single men and 5000 for married men. If man is married and his income is a little over 5000, the tax is } per cent on the amount above 5000. In many cases the actual amount of the tax is only a few dollars.
 Neglect to make returns, however, adds a penalty of 90 per cent, besides costs. It is not up to the government to seek out the man, although internal revenue collectors will visit various cities and towns with income taN blanks. The easiest way to learn the details regarding the new tax and when and how to pay it is to commu- nicate with Deputy Internal Ravenuf Collector Meyer Solmson, in the post office building, who is here to receive returns and who will gladly give in formation concerning the provisions O the law.

k ENTU CKIAN MARK SN ANSHip.

Admiring Sammies crowding around }tall, swarthy Kentuckians at Camp Zachary Taylor near Louisville can't
 for the life of themselves explain how
 it's done.
 The ordinary "select" at the start of | his training knows as much about shooting straight as mountainee, knows about running battlcship. Consequently when they .foregather
 around the Kentucky lankics and see them hit halt- inch target so far away that an ordinary mans cyesight can't locate it, they wonder how it's possible.
 The skill of these kentuckians, however, and the lack of skill in the use of firearms by the average citizen. clearly indicates the gulf between the fighting efficiency of the modern lux urY-bred American and the American of ye old days when continuation of
 life, liberty and happiness depended on guniirc.
 The "gun-toting' American of pie necr days was a great chap to have around in pinch. He knew how to enforce justice and advance the cause of righteousness.
 The average modern American has fallen away from this high estate. The military training through which our young men are passing wilt no doubt re-establlsh a working knoWl- edge of the essentials of the proper way to use rifle. American men once had the reputation of being the surest shooters on earth; these Ken tuckians apparently are remnants of the old race that put us on the map.

Unless there is q big increase ir the next three or four days in the number of questionnaires returned te the local board and in the number of men who have their questionnaircs filled out with the aid of the advisory board it will become very evident that there is to be trouble before the qucs- tionnaires are all returned.
 RegiStrants and their relatives should bear in mind that this is a mil itarY. not civil matter The military authorities are behind the draft. The country is at war aud the draft law is in operation. Whatever may have been said regarding willingness OF mwillingncSs of men 10 take the rc. sponsibility of military service, the draft law means compulSjon, and there are penalties for disregardng 1t. The maximum penalty for not re. turning the qucstionnaires is fine of $1 ,00O and Imprisonment for two years.
 All registrants should act promptly in the filling out of their question naires. The time limit is seven days.

Winning Confidence.

The Italians claim that the treaties
Of London drew a line which was the
result of a compromise with RUSSIA,
which then represented the Slavic m
~terests. and was made with the eX.
peCtation that some day there would
be a revolt against the Hapsburgs
which would require an outlet to the
sea for the Jugo-SlaVs. The Italians
declare that the latter have sufficient
outlet to the Adriatic in Fiume and
that giving Fiume, which is historically
an Italian city, was a concession made
in the interest of Mr., Wilson's principle
of giving access to the sea to small
nations. England and France are both
pledged to give Italy the line in ques-
zion, and there is little likelihood that
Mr., Wilson will insist on much change,
though Italians say they are willing to
discuss with him a r~ectificauon OF the
frontier and leave it to him to recon
cile the conflicting aspirations of the
Jugo-Slavs and Italy,
This is but another evidence OF the
immense power of President Wilson as
an arbiter. due to the fact that he mas
impressed the masses with his sense Of
Justice. The Italian government was
very nXiou to cement friendly rela-
lions with America and will undoubtedly
follow the American program with re
spect to freedom of the seas and a
league of nations. The Italians are
eager to haVe Mr. Wilson visit their
country. His plans are somewhat dis
arranged owing to the promised visit
TO England at the end of this month,
but he is likely to go to Rome after
ward, and SO utilize the next fortnight
i'm visits of courtesy,
The president had believed 1t posi-,
bile to get down to business first and
do a little sight seeing later, but the
unreadiness Of the English to receive
him because of the electoral campaign
in which the votes will not be counted
until Dee. %, has caused him to
change his plans. thus far there has
been progress toward making peace
tangibly secure, but it can be said
hat MI. wilson's efforts to impress
European statesmen that his position
is not one of dictation, is succeeding in
winning their confidence and Co-opera-
tion. Ii may be said that the informal
conferences have begun auspiciously.
and in a mood that means that the
United States and the allies are deter
mined to reach an agreement among
themselves by practical compromises
so that when Germany is admitted to
the conferences no doubt will exist
anywhere as to the terms which ought
to be imposed In order to guarantee a
lasting peace,
