SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother recipe to bring back
color, youthfulness and lustre-
Everybody is using it again.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
age. We all know the adj
vantages of a youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. 1t makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaSed, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundred fold.
Don t stay gray! Look young Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, - which IS
merely the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients. Thou
sands of folks recommend this ready
use preparation, because it darkens the
hair beautifully, besides no one can pos
siblv tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through the
hair, taking one small strand OF time.
BY morning the gray hair disappears;
latter another application or two, its
natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you ap-
pear years younger-Ady.

CONGRESS IS CALLED.

Unable to longer ignore the neceSsi-
ties of the government, President VIII
son on Wednesday cabled to Washing
ton the official call for congress to
meet in special session on Monday, May
49, This will be one of the most inn
portant sessions of congress ever held
and will mean practically continuous
work until the campaigns of 1920 are
opened. The first business will be the
organization of the two houses by the
Republican majorities elected last No
vember This is already begun, Re
publican conferences of the members of
both houses having been called.
The next great task will be action
upon the big appropriation bills killed
by the filibuster in the senate during
the closing days of the last senate. The
enormity of this work is shown by the
list of appropriation bills passed by
the house and sent to the senate which
follows:
Army, $l,O7o, 800, goo; sundry civil
1851 ,l7L,000; railroads, 100000;
navy, 1920, 1885, 900; agriculture, $751;.

TIE new congress summoned to meet
in special session on Monday, May 10,
cannot be expected TO organize in less
than week Then it cannot be ex
pected to act intelligently upon bills
three and half billion
dollars that will come before it in a
month The most that it can safely dc
is to appropriate enough money to keeT
the different departments in operation
until j: can complete the regular appro-
priation bills. The country is not at
war now and it can well afford to wait
until appropriations have been careful
ly considered before congress gives
away the nation : money. The Pres
ident can safely figure on having con
gress on his hands until the campaign
.of 1920 are underway.

A LITTLE COMPARISON.

The treaty of peace handed to the
German delegates by the allies on
Wednesday is not the first treaty to be
presented by conquerors to conquered
in historic Versailles Forty eight years
ago last February Bismark met the
French there to wrest from them the
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine and
to impose on the French the most Sc
we're terms of peace ever known. In ad-
dition to the territory taken an indem-
nifty of about 81 ,000, 100000 was imposed
on France Later on the Germans said
they would have imposed more had
they known France could pay it.
NJ Jules. Simon was one of the
French delegates to that humiliating
gathering and in his memoirs saws:
Count Bismarck harshly and violently
spurned our assurances Of our pacific
intentions, which at that stage of the
business he could not have doubted if
he had been calm and collected. 1t
is very good of me, he said TO take
the trouble you condemn me to. Our
conditions are an ultimatum. You must
either accept or reject them. will
have nothing more to do with it. Bring
an interpreter tomorrow Henceforth |
Will not speak French.
Although the conditions were reversed
on Wednesday and the French were
submitting terms for the Germans to
accept, there seems to have been lit
tie change in the attitude and bearing
of the Germans They still are over
bearing, insulting and disrespectful. Ev
identity they have not yet learned the
folly and criminalitv of aggression
against neighbors. They cannot under
stand the severity of the punishment
their beastliness merits. Perhaps they
never will, but we suspect when they
too are told s'our conditions are al
ultimatum the truth will begin t.
dawn upon them
German harshness and cupidity forty
eight years ago imposed upon tn,
French conditions making that van
quished nation formidable to con

In the Days News.

Twentv-seven years ago today, in the
Italian province of Lucca, was born a
little princess who was destined to
play in later years a unique role in the
great European war drama. The little
princess was Zita of Parma, who later
was to become the Empress Zita of
Austria. What a strange fate has been
hers! From the quiet of convent
school at Zangbert to the brilliant salons
of Vienna, to the imperial throne and TO
the retreat in Switzerland, spans the
career of this young woman of q, who
began life as a member of a fanny
long deprived of all semblance of royal
ty except the name, attained one of the
most exalted positions in Europe, and
who is likely to spend the rest of hel
life in exile. Those who are inclined
toward superstition may see some con
nection between the i'll fate that has
overtaken the beautiful young empires.
and the fact that she is the 18th chile
of the late Duke of Parma.

According to the latest official reports
from various departments at Washing
ton business conditions generally
throughout the country are steadily
improving. The principal postoffiees
show a decided increase in business over
year ago, and the department of Labor
reports that the percentage of jobless
men is gradually and steadily decreas-
ing. All this is source of infinite sat
isfaction, and it is only to be hoped
that as the days pass the conditions
will grow even more satisfactory.
In Vermont, such is the stable char
acter of manufacturing and commercial

One doesn t have to be mind read

son was aiming at with his resolution,
passed at Tuesday evening village
meeting, proposing the adoption of or,
dinances to give the commissioners au-
thority to prevent the use OF any
property in such a manner as to be-
come menace to surrounding property
or a detriment to other property, etc. ;
Probably every one of the many voters
who SO earnestly favored the resolution
had a mental picture of the Miner
property in the rear of the water-cure
property on Elliot street. The Med
dler devoutly hopes that way will be
devised for dealing with this eyesore
Mr.. Miner is, perhaps, within his legal
rights in following his own taste in
adjoining the property under discussion
but since his taste seems to be in di-
rect opposition to that of almost every
one else in town it would be cause fol
general satisfaction if he could be pre-
vented from following it.
