In your greed for other lands.

You have stained your grasping hands.

and men hesitate more than they did
both to spread rumors and to abuse the
government in its conduct of the war"
The anti-yellow dog movement is the
direct result of a story which Mr.. Dodge
wrote for the Saturday Evening Post and
which was published in May, and has
since appeared in book form. AS mat
ter of fact Mr.. Dodge didn't really write
the story as an ordinary magazine feat
ure. He wrote it to catch yellow dogs
has done, for he had observed the yellow
dog menace throughout the country and
believed that if it continued to grow it
would have very important effect upon
the prosecution of the war.
''It has been and is an inssdious propa-
ganda," said the author in explaining his
reason for putting forth the anti-yeIlow
dog idea.
"Baseless runners of every eort are cur
rent at all gathering places of men, and
women too. 1 believe. Everywhere there
is constant assertion of the ineffieicncy
of our own government to conduct the
war and the superb.man efficiency of the
Germans. Then Snere is the foolish talk
about this beng a capitalistic war
brought about to make rich men richer
and poor men poorer, and the talk about
Great Britain having dragged us into the
struggle for her own fell purposes.

doesn't do any good merely TO call atten-
tion to condition of this sort or to
denounce it. lou must have remedy to
offer.
That was when hit upon the idea of
suggesting the boy detectives of America.
Every American boy wants to do some
thing to help the government and every
boy wants to be a detective. 1t seemed
to me, therefore, that if we could get the
boys started to spotting the yellow dogs
of each community and then bring home
to these winners and ye.pers that they
are acting like yellow dogs we would gel
at the root of the matter. If the people
of community refuse tG spread base
less rumors Of horrors ana disasters suf-
fered by our troops. and if they them
selves recognize unfounded attacks on the
governments conduct of the war as yel-
low dogism, then they cannot be made
the tools of German propaganda, no mat
ter how insidious. The soil has been
and the evil germ will not
grow"

In East New York the boys organized
at meeting of twenty. The follow
ing week they borrowed a theatre from
a motion picture manager and have
since held weekly Sunday meetings. At
the first meeting it was announced that
the main object of the bNv detectives
was to make the world safe for democ-
.racy by scotching the yellow dogs of the
neighborhood.
''The big detectives are all busy at
their regular work." shrilled one exceed
ingly youthful detective, "and if we little
fellows don't do this work, who will?''
The answer to this appeal was the en-
l;stment of one hundred and fifty boy
detectives in East New York, every one
of whom has exceedingly active ears for
taking in yellow dog yelpIngs and bring
ing to light the fact that certain shop
keepers in the neighborhood won't have
Liberty Bond or War Savings Stamp
posters in their windows.

While wipsy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful. we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive

Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no ono can tell, because it does it so
naturally, 30 evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small. strand at time: by morn
