selection of men this time. At the
time OF the first call many were &C
Cepted by the local boards, only to be
rejected at Camp Dodge, making addi-
tional work for the army officers, who
censored the apparent carelessness Of

There is no objection on the part of
the Streckfus line to the placing on

P. S.-Please don't understand me
that every individual line or boat
which has a local trade will agree
with the above, but 80 per cent of the
larger steamer lines that can carry
500 tons or over on each vessel, and
which are operating in longer trades,
are highly in favor of it, as they know
it is the only solution.

Grandmother kept her hair beaut-

with brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded. or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bottle
Of this oldtime recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that

it's SO easy TO use. too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw il through the hair. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appli-
cation or two, it is restored to its nat
ural color and looks glossy, soft and
beautiful This preparation is a de-
lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in

OBERLIN. Ohio, Oct 12.-Prof G. wal
ter Fiske, Junior dean Of the Obsrlin

marizes the effect OF the war upon Amer
ica's professional schools as follows
"Since the draft began to take men from
the decade of the twenties II cut of the
chief source OF supply for all profess
sIonal schools, and now that the decade
Of the thirtes has also been drafted this
will take all the rest, except ordained
ministers who are exempt and students
who are physically unable to qualify for
war service.
at is very evident that during the
period Of the war all kinds Of profess
sional schools must expect q seriously
curtalled opportunity. This Of course will
he purely temporary and after the war
there will be a return to normal condi-
tons. Indeed delegates attending the
Harvard conference OF American and
Canadian schools OF theology were quite
positively OF the opinion that the supply
Of theological candidates would be In
creased. partly because OF the large
amount of idealism developed during the
war. The first result Of the war situa-
ton in our line of work. as well as In
all branches of industry. is to stimulate
somewhat the interest of women and
their undertaking mems work. In ODER
Inns graduate school OF theology there
are six women who are preparing them
selves to be assistant pastors, q field of
work in which there IL an increased de-
mand for trained workers"
