GIRLS IN HAREMS
SLAY OFFSPRING
Christian Beauties, Forced In
to Shape, Destroy Own
MosIem Children

Diarbekir, Turkey, Dec. 20.-Fear
of the further massaeres is causing
numbers of christians in this region
to abandon their homes and seek
safety in the territory occupied by
the British, whose nearest post is at
Aurfa.
For days there has been a steady
procession of carriages, containing
families with all their possessions on
the road to the southwark. Many of
them are headed for Aleppo, which
means a hot, dusty journey of sew
eral hundred miles across the plain.
The immediate cause of this exc
dus of Christians is the attitude OF
their Moslem neighbors, coupled
with the notorious reputation that
Diarbakir won for itself in the mas
sacres and deportations a few years
ago, but back of it is a feeling Of
restlesness because of the fact that
months have passed since the arms
tice, and as yet nothing has been
done to guarantee the security of the
non-MosIem population.
Seek Safety in Flight
The Near East Relief, the Ameri-
can organization which is distribut-
ing aid to survivors of massacres
through a station in Diarbekir, has
succeeded in obtaining assurance
from the authorities that the Chris
tians will not be molested by the gov
eminent, and that they may resume
their occupations.
This assurance, however, applies
only to the authorities, and means
that the Christians are only to con
slider that if disorders begin, they
will not at least be at the open in
stigation of the government. 1t does
not entirely promise protection, ano
therefore the Christians, afraid thai
the Moslems may turn against them
at any moment, are electing to seek
safety in flight.
The situation is having its effect
o n the work of the relief organiza-
ton in recovering the Christian girls
who were carried off during the de,
portations to Moslem harems. This
work has been going on for weeks.
the relief workers being undismayed
by the thought of personal peril.
Now, however, the Moslems are
threatening the girls with death if
they permit themselves to be res
cued, and many of them are afraid
to leave their masters.
Prettiest Girls Taken
Large numbers of these girls re-
main to be recovered. In the early
months of 1915 about $4,000 Chris
tians were exiled from Diarbekir,
and from their ranks were taken hun
dreds of the prettiest young women.
Even some of those who escaped and
remained hidden in the vicinity
throughout the deportations, later
sold themselves to the Turks, ON
fronted as they were with the alter
native of doing this or of starving
to death.
The condition of these Christians
girls is one of the most tragic prob
lens that confront the relief work
ers, who state that many of the girls,
in their shame, have killed the chill
dren of their Moslem fathers.

LADIES! DARkEN YU0R GARY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sul. phur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natur- al color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive, Whenever her haid took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simplee mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out t-of-date. Nowadays, by ansking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com opund," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- depended upon to restore natural col or and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge of soft brush withi and draw this throug your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dary and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com ponnd IS delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease Adv.
