Harmony With Surroundings.

A house should harmOnize with its
surroundings in design. color and ma
terials. A house standing out boldly
on the top Of a hill and visible for
miles should differ essentially in ap-
pearance from n nesting in among
the trees at the edge OF the woods,
from a house on the banks Of a lake or
from a villa set back from the village
street. Every natural advantage from
the standpoint of health, view, light
and convenience should be utilized,
every disadvantage n%eutralized. The
amount of money to be expended is a
factor determining the extent and man.
ner In which the other two vital ele-
ments may be best me- and mastered.

Earth Grown Slowly Now.

In the early days Of its history the
earth grew rapidly by the addition Of
rneteoric matter. tits still growing In
the sames manner, scientists say,
though scarcely to an appreciable ex-
tent, for the. mass of meteoric- matter
added yearly Is rcck0ned to be only
10000 tons. In the course of ages the
larger planets have swept up practic-
ally all the fragments of the original
disruption, and the only available
source Of supply Of meteOric matter
seems to be brought by comets.

Pro Tenn.

As is evidenced by the many un-
shaver and unshorn men about the
city, the union BARRIERS have today
gone on strike for higher wages.
With this serious situation before
them. business men and other men
of large affairs are. with no apparent
dificulty, conducting their business
along the same lines as heretofore, a
shave and haircut not being consid-
cred absolutely indispensable to the
furtherance Of their business.
The journeymen Of the Grand Forks
local OF the BARRIERS International
Union OF America have demanded
of their employers that they are guar
anteed $50 per week and 50 per cent
over $50.
The shop owners are willing to
grant $19 per week with a bonus Of
60 per cent I'VE $50. but as yet have
come to no definite agreement.
h original demand was 6S per
cent Of all receipts but after careful
consideration it was decided that this
was an exorbitant demand.
1t was said that only thirteen
journeymen are affected by the strike
order. these being employees of five
union shops in the city.
All shops Of the mo strike variet,
are conducting their business as usual
these being six in number.
No serious rioting a been report
ed, nor have any attempts been mad
to organize a sympathy strike.

The men are usually in the front

are then. sent to the reserve camp,
some two or three miles behind the
first trenches. Here, IL the sector is
quiet. there is usually some sort OF
entertainment. At any rate the men
are cleaned up after the long days
they have spent in the mud of the
trenches. Colonel Mcpherson told OF
one Of these bathing parties, and how
the officers managed to clean up so
many men.

massed about 1000 troops in q veV
small area and about s or 6 o'clock
the waves began to go over the top.
Shortly before this. the barrage fire
had started. When it lifted we were
upon the boches before they had time
to use their machine guns"
Colonel Mcpherson's exclamation OF
how the village was finally captured
was very detailed and interesting. He
said that when the Germans found
they had no chance, they raised their
hands and surrendered, but here the
British showed them no mercy. I'VE

mel. "At the first battle Of vimy
Ridge, it will be remembered. the
Germans put lines of women and
children il front OF the armies and
captured the village. The areo men
were very active in this battle he
said. as at one time he counted as
many as 25 planes ver the enemy
lines.
The colonel concluded his speech
with the words: Our men are not

one might as we'll sign a treaty with

DARK GRAY HAIR,

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which Is 30 at

Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, 80 even
ly, that nobody can possibly tell 1t
has been; applied. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
