LABOR MINISTRY
SEES STRIKE END
Majority Probably will Re-
turn to Jobs To-day.

LONDON, July 2S.-The Ministry Of
Munitions announced tonight that re-
ports, received to-day from all parts OF
the country indicate that the strike sit
uation in the munitions industry has
distinctly improved and that a majority
Of the strikers in all probability will
return to work tomorrow"
AS a result OF mass meetings In Bir-
mingham and West Bromwich to-day
II was decided by the district commit
tees OF the strikers organizations that
the men should return TO work Monday
morning. A majority of the men at the
Birmingham meeting favored contin-
uation OF the strike. but as two-thirds
vote was necessary and this was not
obtainable the committee advised a re-
sumption OF work.
Likewise at the West Brom wich meet
ing there. was a majority vote In favor
of the men remaining out, but deci-
sion was reached that tho strikers
should abide by the decision OF the
Birmingham meeting.
The mass meeting took place in vari-
Gus districts In Birmingham. which IL
one Of the largest munitions centres In
the country. Sixteen thousand persons
attended the meetings, including many
women.
At Worcester action similar to that
taken in Birmingham and West Brom-
wich followed a meeting Of the strikers,
but the engineers at the Woolwich ar
senal. Notwithstanding an appeal made
by Gen. Seeiey, Deputy Minister of
Munitions, who addressed their meeting,
decided to cease work Tuesday. A reso-
luton adopted by these men protested
against placing an embargo on allied
workers without their consent and it's
proposed extension to semi-skilled and
unskilled workmen and the. possibility Of
a further curtailment of the freedom of
workmen." This action will AFFECT
1900 men.
At meetings held at East Ham and
Leeds II was also decided to resist the
embargo on skilled workmen.

have been tentatively agreed upon will

adopted:

The Treasury Department desired
originally to raise $4,000. 900, 900 through
such taxes, but the Ways and Means
Committee IL certain after delving
thoroughly into the question that the
figures above represent the greatest
amount which can be raised. Its MEM
their rates as Is safe.
The Treasury Department sent n
schedule Of so called "luxuries" to the
committee, with suggested rates of tax
alton on them designed to raise 49,

the committee believes. will not raise
revenue but stlfe business, and has
adopted instead a policy OF doubling all

nue bill.
Will Double Liquor Taxes.
This plan includes many suggestions
Of the Treasury Department, but the
rates OF taxation will not be as high
as those suggested by the Treasury De-
partment. The suggestion OF the De-
partment included doubling the rates Of
taxation on beer and liquor OF all sorts.
Including wines. and this suggestion the
committee will embody in its apparent
determination to double the taxes Of the
last revenue law.
II the committee doubles all tax rates
in tho last revenue law with the excep-
ton OF the incoDe and excess profits
taxes, which have already been worked
out, revenue amounting roughly to ST.
$50, 000,O 900 is expected. II there Is any
variation from this figure it will be to
lower it.
After realizing s1.S5o,O00, 900 from
these miscellaneous taxes coupled with
the $4,000, 900, 900 raised through income
and excess profits taxes. instead OF hav-
ing $4,000, 100000 in revenue. the bill
will raise only $3.50. 100000. This
means that 1850. 100000 must still be
raised in some manner IL the Admins

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.
color dates back to grandmother 8
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. 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
ut-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of "Wyeth's q
sage and Sulphur Compound" you
win get this famous old preparation
improved by the addition Of other In
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair 80 naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It haa
been applied. You simply dampep q
sponge on soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at q time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
q Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com.
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
FOR those who desire more youthful
appearance. It Is not intended fol
the cure, mitigation or prevention o,

MEAT CAUSE Of
] . KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothsrs-Meat
forms uric acid.

IF you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic t%inges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take q tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
30 it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jures and makes delightful eHervescent
Gtha-water drink.
