Germans started with them 10 the rear

"Newsy News" for Soldiers.

In the June Woman's Home Compan
ion one woman tells how her little town
keeps in touch with its soldier boys:
1.-THE folks at home have formed an
association known as Our Ladies We'll
fare association. witch meets every two
weeks, whose purpose is to keep in close
touch with all the boys, rendering them
such services as may seem necessary
from time to time About seventy lads
to date have answered Uncle Sans call.
THE one great thing the association
is doing IL publishing once each week
local paper known as The Newsy News,
which is chuck full of local happenings
most everyone In the village considers
himself or herself part of the editorial
staff. This 'Newsy News contains all
the divisions of regular newspaper
which include local photographs and
local cartoon. This paper is gotten up
on a duplicating machine. which makes
the Newsy News seem like a personal
letter from the folks at home.
There is scarcely day goes by but
that a letter is received from some of
these seventy boys, telling of their great
appreciation of this paper. which enables
them to know just what is going on back
home"

When You Neglect Your Teeth.

An author tells in the May American
Magazine how neglect of his teeth near.
ly ruined his life He says:
"A woman came TO my dentist while
| was being treated She suffered from
neuralgia. There were no cavities in her
teeth apparently, and she had been ex-
amined by various physicians. none OF
whom could locate the cause of her trou-
Bile. | saw the dentist take an X.ray of
her teeth on the side Of her face where
the pain occurred. and watched him de-
velop it. There, as plain as day, lying
across the roots of three of her teeth
was a fourth tooth that had never come
through. 1t was a bad Job removing
that tooth, but the woman has had no
trouble since.
"A man in an Office near mine suffered
for years with his eyes. He had been
treated by a first-class specialist, but in
spite of everything his eyes would be.
come terribly infamed once or twice
year. Finally, as last resort, the doc.
tor sent him to a dentist. The X-ray
showed that four of his teeth were caus.
ing all the trouble They were to all
appearances perfectly sound, and he hat
ed to lose them. But he has had no eve
trouble since they came out.
Les Darcy, the Australian prize ring
champion, came to this country as per.
feet physical specimen A few months
after his arrival he had an attack Of
rheumatism He was taken to hos
pital, examined, and it was found that
every tooth in his mouth was decayed.
He died two weeks later"

SECRET T0 DARKEN GRAY HAIR
BRING BACK ITS COLOR AND LUSTRE WITH GRANDMA'S SAGE
 TEA RECIPE

Common garden sage brewed into q heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is troublesome An easier way is to get the ready to use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiyeness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so natural ly, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requi- site. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease- Adv

NEWS IF ARM|ST|CE
 CHANGED ALI PLANS
 OF B|G CONF FERENCE

How the purpose of the recent con venuon of state chairmen of defense councils, called in Washington by the national organization was completely thWarted, is told by Charles F.. Ad- dams, vice chairman of the Arizona council, who returned to this city Sun day
 The general meeting of state chair men was called at Il o'clock on the morning we arrived in Washington, said Mir. Addams. Within fifteen minutes after we had settled down 10 discussing several mighty non-war construction problems, MT. Baruch the chairman of the board stated that ne had been advised of the confirmation or the signing of the armstice. That ended all the elaborate plans that We were prepared to tackle.
 Instead of working out new restrlc- tons our duty became the annulment of old ones. This has since been done gradually"
 Asked what would be the status or the state council of defense from this time, Mr. Addams continued
 All councils in this country have been authorized by the various state legislatures. They terminate at var - ious time, ours, for instance, being con- tinued by the legislature until SIX months after peace is signed. In other states, other conditions prevail bur peace in most cases seems to determine the date of dissolution, if there is to be dissolution. At the present time we are working under a request of the na- tional government that we continue our machinery in operation as heretofore. There Is plenty of work for us to do, Vn-iA h tar, bsls of all sorts just ahead of us. The Ari- zona council, therefore, will continue as before until it's legislative life has eN- plred, at least.
 Chairman Baruch rendered the chairmen from the states banquet al the New Willard hotel, where we had opportunity to meet MT. Hoover, Post master General Burleson, Secretary Daniels, Secretary Baker, Mir Hurley of the shipping board, Secretary Red field, Attorney General Gregory and Fuel Commissioner Garfield.
 MT. Hoover sent a special message to the American people He said he die not want our people to think that they need deprive themselves of g. singit mouthful of food to feed the Germans If there is any denial at all it will bt on behalf of our allies and not for those who opposed US in the war. MT. Hoover said that with the barrages and block ades lifted, that had starved Germany into submission. she would be able with allied permission, to go out aftel her own food and must be informed that she will be expected to do this rather than rely upon the allied nations
 Plans in the various departments and boards of the government, nov that we are virtually entering peace conditions. are up in the air. Not ; thing had been done when l left Wash inEton, that looked definite, SO puzziet were all the officials. Since then. how ever, reconstruction and Rehabilitation and all the shifting from one basis tt another, has been tackled and we shal very soon see the result of it all"
