senting the Great Northern Railway
Co., were in Minot last Friday looking
up data and mixing up little medi-
cine 70 be- used in keeping the 500
depot Ssclos They assert that at
several points the G. N. stations have
been Elosed and that it is no more
than right that the 500 station in Mi
not should remain closed. They were
rtying to locate any complaints that
might have been made in Minot, due
to the closing of the 500.
Mrs. J. X. Woodward, wife of the
display manager of the Fair store,
accompanied by her little daughter
and son, arrived in the city Sunday
from their old home at Lynn, Massa-
chusetts. Mrs. Woodward coming
from New England had expected to
see Minot's streets crowded with cow
boys and bad men generally and was
astonished to find western people
speaking the same language and
otherwise conducting themselves in the
same manner as the good people Of
Massachusetts. The Woodwards are
esconsed in the Bradshaw
bungalow at 10 9TH Street N. w. and
J. X. has again assumed the regula-
ton sang froid of the "down east"
Yankee.

SAVE 10000, 900 BUSHELS !.
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Administra.
tIen, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
16,OOO,OOO bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves Of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley.
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the U.
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and thresherlnen
to reduce harvest losses from about
az per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired. 81
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
Ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed. But in
proportion to the number of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases Of compulsion were com
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars "in pocket
as a result of the grain saved.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old re-
cipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost,
all ready for use. 1t is called
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur COM
pound. This can always be depend
ed upon to bring back the natural
color and luster of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
piled. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair has disappeared, and af-
ter another application 1t becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy
and ustrous. This ready use
preparation is delightful toilet
requisite for those who desire dark
hair and youthful appearance. 1t

tion or prevention of disease.-Adv.

SYRUP OF figs
FOR CROSS, SICK
FEVERISH CHILD
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath hot and
stomach sour?
Harmless fruit laxative" best to
clean tender liver
and bowels.

Mothers can rest easy after giving
California Syrup of Figs" because
in a few hours all the clogged-up
waste, sour bile and fermenting food
gently moves out of the bowels, and
you have a well, playful child again.
Children simply will not take the
time from play to empty their
bowels, and they become tightly
packed, liver gets sluggish and
stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see
il tongue is coated. then give this
delicious fruit laxative" Children
love it, and it can not cause injury.
No difference what ails your little
one-if full of cold, or a sore throat,
stomachache, bad breath,
a gentle inside cleans
ing should always be the first treat
ment given. Full directions for
babies, children of all ages and
are printed on each bot
tie.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent
bottle of California Syrup of Figs"
then look carefully and see that il
is made by the California Fig Syrup
Company" We make no smaller
size. Hand back with contempt any
other fig syrup.

Wheat and Money to Be

Wheat flour costs $3.50 a barrel,
or seven cents a pound, at the pres
ent prices fixed for wheat by the

Potatoes, which contain most of
the food elements of wheat, cost 81
for a sixty-pound bushel, or less
than two cents a pound.
While you are helping in the work
of conserving the wheat for use by
the American Army and the Allies,
by eating potatoes literally these
days, you are at the same time eff
fecting a considerable saving in
money.
Buy bushel from your grocer and
use them literally for the next

HOME RULE FOR
IRELAND LEADS
OTHER ISSUES
Unionist War Committees
Meeting Marked by Grave
Nature of Discussion
BY Associated Press

London, April IA lengthy meet
which was attended by 127 members.
was held in the House of Commons
last night to consider the question
of home rule in ireland and the war.
An official announcement issued aft
er the meeting merely said:
"The discussion was very grave
one"
According to the Daily Telegraph,
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster lead
er, spoke in the interest of Ulster,
while the other members said that
every effort should be made to Sc
cure a settlement of the home rule
question, even at the sacrifice of
long cherished principles. No reso-
luton, the paper says, was adopted,
but the balance of feeling was that
the government must proceed eau
tiously with the home rule bill.
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster lead
~er, said he would continue to sup
port the manpower bill, adding:
German Domination DetestabIe
even if you put Ulster in a sub
ordinate position to the rest of Ire
land. with which she is now threat
ened, and if you put me under a gov
ernment of Nationalists or Sim Fein-
ers, 1 support it, because no more de-
testable domination could be put over
the world than that of the Ger
mans"
In defending the manpower bill in
the House of Commons before its
passage on third reading to-day
Premier Lloyd George declared no
fair analogy could be drawn between
the application of the present bill
to Ireland and the attempt to tax the
American colonies against their will
because in the latter case it was a
matter of taxation without represen-
tation, no measure of self-govern-
ment was claimed by any responsible
body representing Ireland in the
House. The Premier asked If it ever
had been contended that questions
bearing upon the organization of the
army and navy and defense of the
country and the empire should be
entrusted to any parliament except
the Imperial Parliament.
Must he Taken on Merits
Regarding the claim that Irish
consent should be obtained, the same
argument. he said, could be applied
to Wales or Scotland. He added that
both conscription and the home rule
bill must be taken on their merits
Ireland, after the report handed in
by the Irish convention, expected
