KANSAS READY
TO AID PEOPLE
Governor Allen Issues State
ment Concerning the
Coal Crisis

Topeka, Kans., Nov. 2S.-Kansas
has been brought to the point of
using all its power to protect the
people whose suffering would be un-
speakable unless relief was afforded
from the emergency brought about
by the coal strike, Governor Henry
J. Allen announces in a formal state
ment.
Declaring that it was the duty of
the Governor to protect the people
whose welfare was dependent. upon
1t, he asserted that he would use the
power of the state for one purpose
only to relieve the coal famine and
to protect the lives of those engaged
in carrying out this effort.
The Governor declared that peo-.
pie were responding willing to his
Kansas mines. He said the people
realized that 1t was not q strike
breaking enterprise.
Every department of human life
is bound UP in this ISSUE" the state
ment continued. Every industry
and private occupation which gov
ernment is organized to support Is
affected by 1t and the challenge of
those who would bring upon us this
catastrophe a challenge to govern
ment. So far as Kansas is concern
Gu, InC government lS 6oihe "
cept the challenge. For this sole
purpose we are asking for volunteers
whose services we will accept as
rapidly as mining operations can be
increased. The duty to which these
men are volunteering is hard labor,
but they are accepting 1t willingly
out of their recognition of a call as
patriotic as any that has brought
men into service. 1t is the age-old
obligation of just government to pro-
tect the innocent against the ruth
less quarrels in the making of which
we had part"
But once and for ALL" the state
ment concluded, eft must be under
stood that the powers of the state
now summoned into action for the
protection of its people, are above
and beyond those of any association
or organization. whether of capital
or individuals"

sage TEA Turns
GRAY HAIR DARK
lis Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Color, Luster and Youthfulness
to Hair When Faded,
Steaked or Gray.

That beautiful. even shade OF dark,
glossy hair can only be had by
brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. 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 Sulphur enhances its appear
ance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture: you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and
lustre 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 it, and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beau
tifully dark and appears glossy and
lustrous. This ready-to-use prepa-
ration is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
a youthful appearance. 1t is not
intended for the cure. mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.
