Educational Campaign.
A oall for volunteers to fight under
the standard of the National Tubercu.
losls Association and Its 1000 affiliated
bodies throughout the country against
tuberculosis-- -h,imanity's most vicious
foe--has been sounded.
A recent health survey, made by the
experts Of the National tuberculosis
Association, brought to light some
startling statistics with regard TO the
prevelency OF the disease. The find
ings Of this survey have revealed
national menace, which must be eradi-
Gated. The figures show that each
year 10000 persons die of the dis
ease and that there are approximate
ly 100000 cases of tuberculosis In
the United States today.
y The untaught consumptlve--one who
does not know tile rules of health, is
an indefatigable spreader of the dis
ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves be-
hind him trail of the deadly germs.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
tion and Its affiliated bodies have en-
tered upon an Intensive nationwide
educational campaign. The campaign
will be localized and within a short
time there will be ample work for
many thousands of volunteers.
The National tuberculosis AssocIa-
ton and Its affiliated bodies are A.
nanced largely by the annual sale Of
Red Cross Christmas Seals. TO make
possible the carrying out Of this cam
paign, more than 650OO0,000 seals viii
be offered for sale during the holI-
days. State and local tuberculosis
associations have at hand valuable
local data regarding the disease and
actual conditions in the communities
where they are located. The officers
Of these bodies eagerly welcome in
quiries.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug is
In the abandonment of the sys-
tenn OF cleaning every stock car
that arrives at the indianapolis
stock yards the Indiana Live
stock Sanitary board contends
it has struck a blow directly at
the high cost of living. The
practice had been in vogue four
years and has been adding often
from % to 80 per cent. TO the

This charge was assessed against
the shippers following a ruling
by the Indiana public service
commission that the railroads
need not pay it.
1T had come to a point
where Indiana was the only
state in this part OF the coun-
try that was requiring the clean

SESSION
OF CONGRESS
Expected to be Called Before June I
With President Wilson
Back in Capital
AGAIN.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The state
ment in Paris that the Italian situa-
ton is apparently clearing, led to the
authoritative prediction here today
that President Wilson will call the
extra session of congress before June
1-possibly May 26.
Information here has been that
President Wilson would call con-
gress about June / and would arrive
in this country just before the day
set for congress to, convene. Now,
according to later information, it is
considered probable" he will cal
the session at least a week before
June /. 1t would be hardly possible
for the president to return aboard
the George Washington before ab ~
May 26 to 81. In the event he de.
ctded t v congress before
June l he may return on aome other
ship.
The Italian ambassadors reported
statement that Italy will send her
peace delegates back to Paris
brought relief in official quarters.
1t indicates, according to the belief
here, that Ambassador C%ellere's con-
ference last week with President
Wilson was sufficient satisfactory to
warrant the Italian representatives
resuming their place at this peace
table.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound :
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are ct their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine ia p~asteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

SECRET TO
DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lust-s
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alec
hol added, will turn gray, streaked
and faded hair beautifully dark and
Iluxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though. is
troublesome. An easier vas is to
get the ready-to-use preparation i'm.
proved by the addition Of other ingre-
dients, a large bottle. at little cost,
at drug stores. known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding a lot OF muss.
While gray. faded hair Is not 7n-
full, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness.
BY darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because 1t does 1t so natur-
ally, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear
years younger.
