GERMAN WOMEN ID REGISTER BETWEEN
 JUNE IS AND 26
In Carrying Out Law De- partment of Justice to Observe Same Rule
 as With Men

Washington. May 21-German women tween June IS and 26 under regulations issued today by the department of jus tice.
 In cities of 5000 or more population by the 1910 census. the registration Is to be conducted by police and smaller com munities and country districts by post masters, under the same rule as gov- erned the registration of German males three months ago. Finger prints will bs taken.
 Every effort will be made to give courteous treatment to the women and avoid the impression that the registra- tion process implies any suspicion of guilt.
 It is estimated about 100000 German women classed as enemy aliens. lise In the United States. This number includes many women born in the United States but married to Germans who never were naturalized. Since women assume the nationality of their husbands. these wom- en will have to be considered subjec. to registration.
 Women whose husbands or fathers have been naturalized, orr who have become naturalized. in their own names, are not included in the class required to enroll
 The women will be asked to give full informa tion concerning their family re- lationships. their ages, places of resi- dence and occupation. After registering they will not be permitted to move from one locality to another without notifying the registration office and officer and obtaining his approval On going to an other place of residence they will be re- quired to report at once to the register ing officer there.

Summary of NelDs From All War Fronts and Capitals
By Associated Pres.

Striking viciously lat the enemy at various points along the western bat tie front; meeting each outburst of German artillery with a thunder of cannon fire. and maintaining the mas the North sea to the Swiss frontier. the armies of the entente allies are pre- venting the Teutonic armies from quietly perfecting their preparations for coming battles. With the knowl- edge that the passing of each day brings new American legions to help crush the next German offensive, the allies are finding satisfaction in the fact that the Germans have as yet been unable to launch a new blow in the struggle, which Berlin had expected to be the decisive one of the war.
 For the most part the Germans have shown but little of their habitual fight ing spirit along the line in France. They have been thrust back in four sectors and the allies have succeeded in winning ground which will be of great importance in the future But the Germans have counter attacked in only one instance. and this movement was carried out so slowly and with such lack of dash that it was easily broken up before the Teutons reached the new allied positions.
 The attacks by the French near Lo- ere, on the northern side of the Lys salient. and of the Australians before Amiens, which have already been re- ported. now appear to have been more successful than at first understood. Near Locre, the French have not only taken strongly fortified points. but they have made secure their lines on each side of Hill No. A. which they recaptured from the Germans recently The Australians. too, have won ground. which is of tactical importance along the Amiens sector. They have gained higher ground. which lends itself well to defensive tactics and will be val uable when the time comes for stern battle there.

 TO COME UP AGAIN
 The amendment. offered by Repre- sentative Randall of California, pro- hibitionist. will come to record vote in the House before final passage of the bin and opponents expect to de- feat it then.
 Representative Candler of Mississippi. democrat, in charge of the bill, and others vigorously opposed the Randall amendment.

British Headquarters in France May 21.--Australian captures on Sunday at Ville- -Sur-Ancre exceed 400. Several prisoners state that when they learned they had to face the Anzacs, they felt considerable rorepoding. The casual ties inflicted during the attack were very heavy.
 The successful little operation has greatly improved the British position. The British now hold the entire village. The Germans have been forced back from the awkward salient they hal.re- ated and are now probably back upon the railway.f More than 30 machine guns were taken between Ribemont and Deruancourt.
 The French yesterday attacked on a front of 5000 to 1000 yards. apparently pivoting on Locre Ifospice and extend

 Three states-M Michigan, South Da- kota and Delaware--and many cities have exceeded their quotas and still are driving forward for more funds.

 One of the outstanding features thus far has been the unusually large number of contributions, showing that millions are giving their dollars to care for soldiers wounded in holding the Huns and for the civilians who have been driven from their homes in the battle area.

MEAT INJURIOUS
To THE KIDNEYS
TAKE A TABLESPOONFUL OF
SALTS IF BACK HURTS OR
BLADDER BOTHERS.

We are nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on guard
against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid. but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, fun of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning and
in few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with 1ithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia water drink, and no.
body can make a mistake by taking
little occasionally to keep the kid
neys clean and active.-Adv.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe TO
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of
dark, glossy hair can only be had by
brewing mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. Your hair is your charm.
1t makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just
an application or two of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundred-fold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost. all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and lus-
tire of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" now because
it darkens- so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
piled. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it. becomes beau
tifully dark and appears glossy and
lustrous. This ready-to-use prepa-
ration is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. , It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.
