as Mr.. McAdoo has in mind could be
accomplished through taxation. No
matter how heavy the imposts might
be, they would have no tendency at
all to bring corporate bonds closer to
parity with government bonds than
they are now; nor would the read
Justment be any the less severe than
1t would be were the rate Of return
on government bonds increased
probably the contrary would be the
case. The readjustment would. in
fact, be almost automatic. Inevi-
eably prices would decline to a point
where the disparity of which Mr..
McAdoo complains would be just as
great as ever. Only by fixing mini
mum prices for all corporate bonds
could they be brought on a closer
parity with government issues, and
that is too absurd for serious consid-
GRAFTON. While yield is important.
Liberty bonds are not sold for what
they yield. Much more important
than that is the appeal to patriotism
--an element which is altogether
lacking in corporate issues. Liberty
bonds cannot be sold by reducing the
yield on corporate bonds. If any
change is necessary, it will have to
DC in the form of an upward revision

An Old Recipe
to Darken Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to 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 troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get
large bottle OF this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, at very little cost. Ev-
erybody uses this preparation now,
because no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You damp
EN- 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,
and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy, and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. 1t is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or proven
ton OF disease.-(adv.)

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system
the previous days waste, sour fer
mentationS and poisonous toxins be
fore it is absorbed into the blood.
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount Of incom-
bustible material in the form OF
ashes, so the food and drink taken
each day leave in the alimentary or
gans a certain amount of indigest-
ible material, which if not eliminat-
ed, form toxins and poisons which
are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nourish-
ment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your checks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer,
YOU are told to drink every morning
upon arising, a glass OF hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it, which is a harmless
means Of washing the waste mate
rial and toxins from the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract, before
putting more food into the stomach.

HUNS DISGUST
POLISH ALLIES
LOOTING OF GERMANS WHO
ENTER MINSK TOLD BY
AN AMERICAN.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Moscow Tuesday, March 26.-An
American who escaped from Minsk
two days after the Germans occu-
pied the city has reached Moscow
and reports the local population
there much incensed against the in
yaders. The more than two hun
dred miles between Minsk and Mos
COW were covered by the American
by walkind and riding in sleighS.
Polish troops who assisted the
Germans in capturing Minsk, he
says, were amazed and disguised
when, two days after the occupation,
the Germans seized their armored
motor cars and announced that the
Germans alone would police the
city.
All motor cars, carts and wagons
were commandeered by the Ger
mans, who at once began to seize all
ioodstufs. This speedily turned the
population against them and tele-
phone lines OF communication with
the German bases we're repeatedly
cut by the Russians despite warning
by the Germans that all persons do
ing this would be killed.
The American says there are
about 1000 German soldiers in
Ainsk, and the local population is
50 antagouistic that a movement

change or confusion in orders will
result The operation will affect
about 5000 trains, and nearly D.
100000 clocks and watches serving
time to railroad trains will have to
be changed without error.
Monday morning, April /, factory
will go TO work at o
o'clock under the new system, but
! o'clock under the old. Business
will start at ! instead OF s, and fac
tories will close at s instead Of 8.
Summed up, everything will start
one hour earlier in the morning,
and close one hour earlier permit
ting one hour more OF daylight re-
creation.
The new plan will perhaps be
little awkward at first, but commun-
tiles will readily adjust themselves
to the condition Almost everybody
apparently approves OF the daylight
saving plan, and thus far no ad-
verse criticism has been heard
However, this one more hour OF
daylight proposition is puzzling
great many heads among both old
and young. One young girl, in re-
about it, said, "I'm in IA
yor OF it as far as work is concerned,
but believe me, m not going to go
by that plan in the evenings. When
] get through work | am going
home and turn the clock back to
its proper hour When asked why
she should be anxious about the
time at night, she explained. "You
see, mother will Yet George stay
only until 1890, and if l don't turn
the clock back she will be sending
him away at 9:30.'
The order will remain in effect
until the last Sunday in October,
and then all clocks and watches will
be restored to the schedule now in
effect. Meanwhile, between March
and November, there will be yir-
tually two kinds OF time, sun time
and clock time, the latter being one
hour ahead of the former.

Prepare To Turn UP
Your Clock Next Sunday

Big Ben will have to be on the
Job Sunday morning, for at that
time the people of Ardmore and all
over the United States are going to
speed up by crawling out of bed an
hour earlier and continuing the
habit until the last Sunday in Oc-
tober according to the provisions Of
the daylight savings bill which has
now passed both branches Of con
gress and been signed by President
Wilson.
The official time for turning up
clocks in Oklahoma will be 2 o'clock
Sunday morning, instead OF . o'clock
Saturday night, it was announced
from Governor Williams office
Tuesday.
The change was made on the re
quest of railroads, who asserted that
they would have to use the hour set
by the federal government.
The law is intended to literally
save daylight. 1t means that people
will get up one hour earlier every
day. 1t means that the hour of
daylight ordinarily slept away in
the morning will be utilized. 1t
means that millions of dollars
worth of fuel necessary in manufac-
turing power for lights will be saved.
Twelve European countries have
already put the plan in effect and
found it satisfactory.
1t is estimated that there are
about 1900 watches and clocks in
Ardmore, which will be set for
ward one hour on this date.
Railroad time tables will be the
same as now, but all trains will
have TO make up the time, and
train that now arrives in Ardmore
At | o'clock for example, beginning
with April will arrive at o'clock
clock time and at y o'clock sun
time.
The Official Railway Guide has
this to say OF the new schedule:

the shells that are being fired into
Paris by the German long range
gun is SS inches and the length Of
the shell t. 20 inches, L'Homme
Libre, Premier Clemenceaus news
paper, states. The shell weighs 200
pounds and contains less than 70
pounds Of explosives.
The shell is provided with a fuse
protected by a threaded stopper and
has a diaphragm inside which, di-
yided the shell into two compart-
ments of unequal size. Two holes
in the diaphragm afford communi-
cation between the two pockets.
These facts are accepted as an
of the two explosions
which on occasion have followed in
quick succession and which led to
the belief that two guns were firing.

WIZ Chilly Weather
Brings Rheumatism
Says Skin Pores Are Closed and
Uric Acid Remains in
Blood.


Rheumatism is no respecter OF
age, sex, color or rank. If not the
most dangerous of human Affections,
it is one OF the most painful. Those
subject to rheumatism should eat
less meat, dress as warmly as pos
sible, avoid any undue exposure and,
above all, drink lots OF pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric
acid which is generated in the bow
els and absorbed into the blood. 1t
is the funcGon of the Kidneys to
filter this acid from the blood and
cast it out in the urine; the pores
of the skin are also a means of free
ing the blood OF this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid, which
keeps accumulating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces OF lad Salts; put a table
spoonful in a glass OF water and
drink before breakfast each morn
ing for a week. This is said to
eliminate uric acid by stimulating
the kidneys to normal action, thus
ridding the blood of these impuri-
ties.
lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and is used with excellent re-
suits by thousands of folks who are
subjct to rheumatism. Here you
have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-
water drink which overcomes uric
acid and is beneficial to your kid
.neys as well.-(adv)
