PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
ace of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program.
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of IL ,S20,-
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been impos-
sible for them TO maintain their de
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusiveIy proved that democ-
u
need it will rise TO its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment to Its credit the very fact that il
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes OF the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America S
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many d.
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances. =
The history of the Food Adminlstra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith In democ
racy has not been misplaced.

WAR TIME METHODS.

Almost all of the vast amount of
war publicity matter which comes to
MS from 900 different departments in
Washington goes to help the Office
hoy in accommodating bale OF waste
paper; but once in while there is
pearl among the oyster shells, and the
following from the department of ag-
rleulturc, seems TO us to belong in
that class: a+ O.. 't .ts. "...
1T is not possible for us to wage
a war Of such proportions as, that
in which we are now engaged and at
the same time maintain peace practices
and induleencies. We must all sacri-
lice; we must all DO things in other
ways than the ways to which we arc
accustomed. If we cannot get the
best we must take the next best. War
Industries cannot be suspended: ship
d buildiag must 80 on; soldiers must
60 to France. With all these activ-
tiles drawing upon our man power in
increasing volume it will become
more and more necessary, from week
to week and from month to month as
long as the war lasts, for each of us
not so engaged TO readjust and re-
organize as the circumstances re-
quire. More effective than any law
that can be enacted by the National
government is the force of public opin-
ion. The best agency for the solution
Of these problems is the agency of

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says every
body is using old-time recipe Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and 1ustre, or
when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and life
less. is caused by lack of sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up a mix
tnre of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade Of
hair which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other in.
gradients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle of ''Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth g
Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives il
an appearance of abundance.
| Wyeth S Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite to impar'
hair. 1t is not intended for the cure
mitigation or prevention Of disease.
