AID TO AMERICAN
BUSINESS SOUGHT
Secretary Of Commerce Redfeld Recon-
mends Expansion of Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Com
merce to Make Tt Possible.

Washington, d. c., Dec. ll.-Expansion
of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce to enable it to give effective
aid to American manufacturers and mer-
chants in taking full advantage of after
the-war world trade opportunities is the
chief recommendation of Secretary Red
field in his annual report made public to-
day.
The secretary also reiterates his APP
proval of the proposed development of a
government-owned intracoastal water
way to link up the great cities Of the
east, from the lakes to the coast and
down the Atlantic seaboard.
Dealing with postwar trade and the
part the bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce can play, the report en-
phasizes especially the need for addi-
tional commercial attaches and trade
commissioners. The balance of trade in
favor of the United States for the fiscal
year 1918 was $2,0s2,2 1928; the total Of
the merchandise export trade was $5,-
92s,2S5,64l and of the import trade 3d.

the country and by the grave response

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-Known Local Druggist Says Every
body Is Using Old Time Recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and luster, or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack OF sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands 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 mixture
improved by the addition Of other ingre-
dents 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 nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing 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, it also brings back the
gloss and luster and gives it an appear
ance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and youthful appearance to the
hair. ! 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease. -

Monday Club.

The annual meeting of the Ministers
Monday club, which should have been
held in October but which, on account Of
the influenza epidemic, had to be post
poned, was held on Monday in the par
Tor of the Unitarian church in Mont
pelier.
Rev. Wesley G. Mead opened the pro-
ceedings with devotional exercises, The
retiring president, Rev c. r. Bingham,
after the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting, called for the secretary's
annual report, from which it appeared
the club had held eight meetings during
the previous year, four in Montpelier
and four in Barre. The average attend
anee was IL, the largest Ia on Feb. H.,
Papers had been read by the following
clergymen, Rev. B. G. Lipsky, Rev Ed
gar Grassland, Rev. Wesley G. Mead,
Rev, Verne Smith, Rev. L. o. Sherburne,
Rev. ]. Barnby Leach, Rev. L. G. Carson
and Rev. Stanley f. Bloomfield. The
financial statement showed that the
funds were in good condition, with a
larger balance in hand than the previous
year.
The following officers were then elect
ed for the ensuing year: President, Rev.
L. c. Carson; vice president, Rev Yves
ley G.. Mead. Rev. Frank Bloomfield after
seven years service, was reelected sec
rotary and treasurer. For business com.
mittee, the president, vice president and

president appointed for program com
mittee, Rev. L. 0. Sherburne, Rev Ed.
gar Grassland and Rev. w. L. Boieourt.
The business of the annual meeting
being disposed of, those present settled
themselves down to listen to very in
teresting account Of his experiences in
Y. NJ. c. A. work in France Of Rev w.
L. Boicourt of Waterbury. At the close
of his address, several questions rela-
tive to the topic were asked and an
swered.
Owing to the fact that there is no
morning train from Waterbury, the
meeting was held at ! p, M, instead Of
at the usual morning hour. For the same
reason, the next meeting at Barre on
Jan. Is will be held at 1880 p. m.
Among those present were Revs. c. d,
Piper, L. O. Sherburne, L. c. Carson,
Wesley G. Mead of Montpelier; Rev,

sprinkling, but apparently the council
couldn't see it for dust. Now they are
asking for sand on the sidewalks, sand
in the same generous quantities that
other wards are receiving it. The alder
man described the slippery conditions on
ward 4 streets and told his colleagues
rather pointedly that he should be
tempted to use the rugged methods en-
ployed by Alderman Rizzi in the fifth
ward if results were not forthcoming.
The upshot of the protest was that the
street department was directed to give
the fourth ward its share of sand.

Berlin, Monday, Dec. o (by Associ-

government asking it not to send dele
cation to Berlin for a conference planned
for Dec. 10. The reason given was the
present situation in Germany"
The Russian bolsheyist delegates were
invited by the executive council of the
soldiers and workmen's council against
the wishes of the cabinet. The oppos-
tion of the cabinet has been strengthened
beyond doubt, by accusations made by
Adolph Joffe, the bolshevist ambassa-
dor to Germany, who has made state
ment saying Ministers Hasse, Barth and
others were friendly toward him and ac-
lively seconded his plan to introduce
Russian methods into Germany In spite
of their denials, Joffe's accusations have
created painful impression in many
quarters.
