DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No.
body Can Tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a 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 so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly, that nobdy can possibly tell
1t has been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair taking
one small strand at a 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. it also
brings back the gloss and lustTe and
gives II an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
TO impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure. mitigation or
prevention of disease.--Adv.

uon concerning events behind the en-

dispatch received here today from
France.
Although food given prisoners was
termed wretched. there was plenty OF
wholesome food, providing one had
the money to buy It from the prison
stores. they said. Several weeks ago,
the men said. disaffection was wide
spread in the German ranks and all
talk was of the uprising and the
prospective armistice. Feeling against
the Kaiser was very bitter. On this
point the dispatch says:
While the majority were indiffer-
ent as far as the emperor was con-
cerned. there were many who were
scornful and indignant against the
emperor. As far back as November
s. soldiers. officers and guards spoke
disparagingly of him. One man said
none of the Kaiser's six sons had
wound stripes. and he contrasted the
ruler, because of this, with Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Most of the antagonism against
the ruler was among the rank and
file. Some officers felt that his alb
dication would be a calamity to the
fatherland Almost all with whom
the American aviators talked said
they were tired of the war and all
wished to go to the United States

WAR TO COST
ITO BILLIONS
Debts of All Persons In
Belligerent Nations
Rises Rapidly.

Every man, woman and child in the
.belligerent nations owes almost seven
times as much money as he did at the
beginning Of the war.
Figures of the wars cost to the
world compiled by the Federal Re-
serve Board are summarized in the
statement that the approximate debt
per person had increased from $50
before the war to almost $500 at the
end of July. To this is to be added
the cost since July, which is at the
highest rate of the entire period.
The direct cost of the war is cal
culated by the board at somewhere
between $40, 100000 and $3.50.
600, 900, 900 not taking into account
the amortization of the debt or the
cost of indemnities.
Four-fifths of the huge burden falls
upon the shoulders of the future, it
is stated, only Great Britain and
America absorbing a considerable
amount by taxation.
Prices have risen to three times
on an average of what they were
at, the beginning of the war, the
board shows.
Government efforts to keep prices
down have been without avail, 1t
points out.
Exact figures of the various public
debts are of course, incomplete, but
the figures for each country arr
brought up 10 as late a date as il
has been possible TO obtain them.
Great Britain's debt has increased
almost ten times over in the period
of the war, or from 50, 3,jSO,O0O.0OO tC
So, $50, 900, 900 down to last June. These
figures do not include the debts oi
Australia, Canada. New Zealand and
South Africa, British colonies.
Frances debt was quadrupled by
the BEGINNING Of this year. the fig
ures for a later Cate not being avail
able, increasing from 6,s33 OO0,oo tc
s25. .4l0, ,OOO, 900 by that time.
Italy's debt rose from $2,929 0O0,-
900 to $6,9IS, 900, 900 by the close oi
last year.
Figures for Russia are brought VI
only to September, 1917. but they
show that at that time she owed
s26, 2S7 900, 900 as compared with So
234 600. .OaO at the beginning Of The
war.
The public debt of the United
States is calculated to January Is
in order to be in line with those oil
other countries. increasing by thai
date to over $4,000 100000 from
a pre-war figure of 1.z5O,0O0,'
600. Since that time Sl1,50O,000,0 900
have been subscribed to the liberty
loans. thus increasing the nationa
debt about sixteen fold.
The most extra ordinary increase
of all was that of Germany. rising
from Sl.2OS, 100000 to S26,332,O0 ,OOt
as far back as last December.
Austria owed S2.736, OOO. 600 at the

COURT DENIES LAST
APPEAL OF MOONEY
Only Recourse Left Is Clemency Of
Governor.

The United States Supreme Court
yesterday declined 10 review the case
OF Thomas Mooney, San Francisco
labor leader, convicted OF murder in
connection with the San Francisco
preparedness parade.
While the court handed down no for
mai opinion in the Mooney case the
denial was based on the fact that the
court could find no Federal question
10 be involyed in the case.
mooney based his plea on the fact
mat the California Supreme Court
refused to go behind the records of
the lower court. which convicted
him despite the fact that Mooney
.contended that he was convicted on
false testimony
The Supreme Courts denial today
means the California Supreme Court
is sustained.
The only recourse that Mooney
now has left is cIemency by the
governor of California. who up to
this time has refused to act. despite
appeals directly from President
Wilson.
