Don't Let Your
Hair Turn Gray
With a Little Care You Can Keep 1t
Soft, Dark and Youthful Looing.

If your hair is gray, streaked with gray
or faded, will you devote a few minutes
to keeping it dark, soft and glossy?
You can easily restore its original color
and beauty by simply brushing or comb
ing e. y. u. through your hair at night.
After a few applications all the natural
color and gloss will return gradually and
evenly, and will remain by merely using
G., n. u, occasionly. 1t is guaranteed to
do this or your money back.
G.. y. u. does not change the color by
dyeing. 1t simply restores the natural
color and gloss. No one can detect its
use because 1t will not stain the scalp,
wash or rub off, and the hair can be
washed or curved as usual. Ii is not
sticky or greasy, and is an excellent tonic
for both hair and scalp,

which necessitated the receiving of
figures from scores of precincts be-
fore an accurate forecast could be

However, before the crowd began
melting away along toward the mid
night hour it was plain that the race
for the big chair in Sacramento lay
between Stephens and Rolph on the
Republican ticket and probably Rolph
and Heney on the Democratic side.
The greatest enthusiasm displayed
by the onlookers was in the flashing
of the figures in the race for county
offices, particularly the close contests
for district attorney, treasurer, sur
veyor and sheriff. Early in the even

Applestill was the favorite of all the

Stephens had the edge on both ap-

Crown Prince Praises
Valor of His ArEnv

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 5.-The German
Grown Prince, in New Years order
to his army, praises its valor in the
battles of the year just closed The
order, as reproduced in the Dusseldorf
'Nachrichten," reads:
"The year 1917 has gone down into
history, and with it the deeds of arms
OF my army. The French army stood
ready on the Aisne and in the Cham
pagne to deliver a great, decisive blow.
An overwhelming superiority Of men.
arms and ammunition was counted
upon to force victory for the enemy
The assault sanguinarily collapsed
before your faithfulness and bravery.
You thereby broke the enemv's
strength and paved the way to victory
for the German arms in Russia and
Italy.
I'm tenacious struggle, relying
only upon your own strength and YOUR
self-sacrlficc and courage, in difficult
battles on the Chemin- des-Dames, in
the Champagne and on the blood sod
den ground Of Nerdun, you protected
the rear of the advancing armies in
the east and the south. In loyal com
radeship you also fought in Flanders
and near Cambria for Germany's honor.
PROUD, and with a thankful heart. I
behold you, my brave, resolute leaders
and my heroic troops. With an .un-
stained shield and sharp sword we
stand on the Threshold of the new
year around the imperial war lord,
ready to strike and win. God with u.s."
