SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmothers Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre 70 the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for ''Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle Of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as ii does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention Of disease.

BRITAIN RESOLVES TO
HOLD SEA MASTERY
is NOTICE SERVED BY LLOYD
GEORGE - ALSO OPPOSES
CONSCRIPT ARMIES.

BRISTOL.-The war bill of the
allies against Germany is $4,000,
100000 ($12O,OOO,OOO,OOO), accord
ing to the British prim emiisnwiAOo
ing to the British prime minister,
David Lloyd-George, who presented
this and other interesting facts before
large gathering here today. The
cost of the war to Great Britain was
,O00,00O,OOO pounds ($4O,OOO,OOO,-
OOO).
When the prime minister was ad-
dressing an overlooking meeting he
said Great Britain would be guilty
of great folly if she gave up her
navy
Wherever the request comes from,
we are not going to give up the pro-
lection of the navy, so far as Great
Britain is eoncerend."
Premier Lloyd-George said the
English military service act was
passed in order to meet a great emer-
gency. When that emergency was
passed the need was passed and the
act would lapse. He added there was
no intention to renew it.
Continuing, the prime minister
said:
What drove us to CONSUMPTION was
the existence of conscript armies on
the continent that inevitably rushed
the world into war. They could not
have great military machines there
without tempting the men at the head
of them to try their luck with those
machines. The Germans always felt
there was nothing to resist their per-
feet military machine.
"If you want a permanent peace,
if you want to prevent the horrors
of this war being repeated you must
put an end to cOnscript armies on the
continent of Europe"

Is LAGRANGE EDITOR
TO WRITE HISTORY?
OF GEORGIA'S PART IN THE
WORLD WAR-PLAN GIVEN
WIDE ENDORSEMENT.

News that John H. Jones, editor
of the LaGrange Reporter, will pub
ilsh a history of Georgia's part in
the world war will be of wide inter
est over the state. He proposes to
preserve for future use records and
data that will be invaluable.
Men associated with him in the IN
dertahing include bankers, state Of
hcials, educational leaders and news
paper editors and announce that plans
are being launched for the publishing
OF a World War History of the State
Of Georgia, to embrace a detailed ac-
count of the states support of the
government in the great war, and
Individual accounts of the activities
in patriotic organizations, as well as
in men for land, air and naval serv-
ice, of the various counties of the
state.
Mr.. Jones, who is we'll known
throughout the state and is especially
popular in the editorial profession, is
receiving magnificent endorsement
and pledges of full cooperation in
his patriotic endeavor from every
source. He is organizing an editorial
advisory board for his tremendous
undertaking. The editors of daily
newspapers in the state will form an
part of this board, upon
which Governor Dorsey and other
leaders in affairs have agreed to
serve. Mr.. Jones states that the en-
tire personnel of this significant
board will be announced upon its
completion at an early date.
Governor Dorsey has given official
endorsement to the plan, saying: GA
/ properly compiled and edited history
of Georgia and the activities of Geor-
CLANS in the nations land, air and
naval services, and in patriotic or
CARNATIONS at home, would prove of
great value in the records of the
state of Georgia. Mr.. John H. Jones
and his associates should meet with
hearty cooperation in their efforts
along this line 1t will give me pleas
ure to assist in an advisory capacity
on the matter to be included in a
publication of this kind, when it is
! placed before me-"
Mr.. Jones states that he first con-
ceived of his splendid idea while wit
Messing a great victory parade on
Tuesday, November IL, and that
snce that time he has been in almost
constant conference with leading
men in various phases of state affairs
and his endorsements are such as to
make certain the large success of his
plans.

PROBE OF HOG ISLAND SHIP
YARD REVEALS BIG SCANDAL
Report on Inquiry Held Up and Sem
ate Is Curious-Great Deal of
Robbery and Thievery."

Observation-Disclosures of the
senate committee to make a report on
it's investigation of the Hog Island
shipyard and Of government officials
to make public the report Of the de-
partment of Justices inquiry into the
building of the plant, was the subject
of discussion today in the senate.
In asking why the senate commit
tee had not reported, Senator King Of
Utah declared that evidence before
he committee had revealed q great
deal Of vulgar robbery, thievery and
stealing"
Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi,
a member of the committee, said that
while it was true that the inquiry had
not finally been closed he believed
sufficient information is at hand to
warrant congress in taking action to
abrOgate certain contracts.
The Mississippi senator said that
the department of Justices report had
been made to the president and by
him turned over to Chairman Hurley
Of the shipping board, who now is in
Europe.
Il should like to see that report,
very much" the senator declared
Il think there is enough in the
hands of the committee on commerce
to justify asking alomst anything at
the hands of congress looking to the
abrogation of the contract that was
made with the company that con-
gtructed the main Hog Island ship
yard. / think it is one of the most
infamous transactions that mars the
pages of American history"

.BAPTISTS REPORT
MOST DEBTS SETTLED
NEARLY HALF MILLION DOL.
LARS PAID-NO NEW DEBTS
TO BE CREATED.

MACON, Ga.-Adoption of the re-
port of the special committee of five
appointed at the Fitzgerald conven-
ton of the Georgia Baptists in 1915
to raise money to free the Baptist
educational institutions of debt was
the feature of the session of the con-
vention in Macon and incidentally the
cause of a somewhat spirited fight led
by DR.. c. W. Daniel, of Atlanta, Dr.
Lansing Burroughs, of Americas, and
DR.. A. c. Cree, of Atlanta.
The report stated that sufficient
funds had been raised to pay off the
Indebtedness binding upon the prop
erty and recommended that the COM
mittee should not pay any further in
debtedness. 1t was over this recon-
mendation a fight was launched and
the discussion before the report final
ly was adopted was rather spirited.
DIR. Nell Explains.
DR.. j. D. Nell, of Athens, who for
mulated the report, explained why the
recommendation was included in the
report. He said the committee want
ed to make it clear no new indebted
ness must be incurred between now
and March l. When the Baptists met
in Fitzgerald reports showed debts of
1924, 546.17. Of this sum $780,
090.80 has been paid, leaving a bal
ance of $28,456.37, with new indebt-
edness running the total unpaid to
$75, 005.32.
The raising of an endowment fund
of $1,000,000 for Mercer University
was agreed upon at meeting of the
board of trustees, and a committee
was named to conduct the campaign.
Military training at Mercer will be
discontinued after January /. A
school of commerce will be instituted
as a new feature, being a four years
course in the field of economics and
college commercial studies.
1t was provided that for the COM
ing year $4,000 shall be raised for
state missions, 100000 for home
Missions, $145,000 for foreign mis-
sions, $4,000 for the Orphans home,
$4,000 for the Georgia Baptist hos
pital, $4,000 for schools and col
leges, and $4,000 for ministerial
education.
Service Flag.
George W. Andrews, Sunday school
secretary, presented to the conven-
ton a service flag in honor of &c.
SOL boys who had gone from the Bap-
fist Sunday schools into the service
of their country. He estimated that
249 of this number had paid the su-
preme sacrifice.
Rev. ]. Fred Edens, of the en-
listment department of the state
board, said that during the year he
had succeeded in getting 1000
tithers. One man who agreed to
1.-THE gave enough to pay the whole
expenses of the enlistment depart
ment for one year.
