LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody Will
Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re,
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and out
of date. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for q bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get
this famous old preparation, improved
BY the addition of other ingredients.
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair.

ANOTHER ARREST.
That May Be Part of the Humbert
Chain.

Paris, Monday, Feb. 20--Max Levy,
alias Max Raymond, director of the news
paper On Dit, was arrested yesterday on
the charge of swindling an Orleans man
ufacturer named Penroy out of $4,000
francs, with which it is asserted he was
enabled to conduct the paper.
Although the charges allege swindling
and extortion, it is asserted in some
quarters that the case is another link in
the chain of "atfaires" which began with
the arrest of NJ. Duval, director, and
Miguel Almereyds, editor, of the Bonnet
Rouge, who were accused of seditiou.
and which eliminated yesterday in the
arrest of Senator Humbert.

VERMONT SUGAR
Government Denies Plan to Take Over
the Bulk of Vermont's Maple Pro-
duction the Coming
Spring

st. Adams, Feb. 20.--At the office OF
Acting Federal Food Administrator for
Vermont John T. Gushing, it was said
day that news had been received that
a rumor was circulating in some parts
of the state to the affect that the govern
ment intended to take over practically
all of this years output of maple sugar.
Mr. Gushing asked headquarters in Wash
ington for denial of this story, which
might have harmful effect on produc-
ton were it true, and received a reply
to the effect that there is no foundation
whatever to the story being circulated
with reference to the government taking
the bulk of the maple sugar output"
The food administration, on the other
hand, is urging maximum production
of maple products because of the scarcity
and necessary conservation of cane and
beet sugars. There has been no price
established on maple products and there
is no reason, it was said at the state
food administration office, why the pro-
ducer should not go ahead exactly as in
former years, he being under no restric-
tions whatever.
Maple products are even in a favored |
class after they enter the channels of |
trade, inasmuch as they belong to that |
lass which can be stored by the licensed |
iealer in sufficient quantities to fiji his |
reasonable requirements throughout the |
period of scant or no production. instead /

coordinate the strategy of the allies.
General principles laid down at the re.
cent session in Versailles of the supreme
war council were agreed to by all, the
premier told the House. II was also
agreed that there should be an inter al.

The only difference which arose was as
to its constitution.
The first proposal at Versailles. he
continued, was that the central author

Nevertheless, the announcement of the
