SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
IT'S Grandmother recipe to bring color,
1ustre and youthfulness to hair when
faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade of dark
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing 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 Tea and Sulphur enhances
its appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents at a small cost, all ready for use.
It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be depend
ed upon to bring back the natural color
and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses q Wyeth 81 Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it dark
ems so naturally. and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You SIM
ply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes beauti-
fully dark and appears glossy and lus-
| trous.-Ady.

of Panama and Colon remains in the
hands of the Panama government,
without the right of interference on
the part of the general in Command, ex-
cept as covered by certain special con-
ditions embodied in the treaty between
the two countries.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
President s order on the Isthmus, it
was promulgated by General Batch
ford, the governor of the Panama ca
nal assuming his powers as above, and
the admiral in charge of the naval for
ces assuming control of these forces. As
soon as this was done, the admiral in
charge of the naval forces issued an
order permitting the naval forces tC
enter the cities of Panama and Colon
while General Blatchford remained firm
in his refusal to allow military forces
to circulate in these cities during the
existing conditions, to which he has
taken strong exception. The result has
been that considerable degree of con.
| fusion has existed, because the sailor:
arc allowed their liberty in these town:
/ and the soldiers are not, and until the
bone dry bill is passed, liquor may now
| be introduced into the Canal zone, t.
which the soldiers are confined. The
! efforts to smuggle liquor to them ar,
rendered much easier than when tn,
order of the commanding general pro
4 hibiting the Introduction of liquors int,
/ the Canal zone was effective.
There is decree of the Panama gov
ernment on the statute books of Pana
ma, forbidding the sale of liquor to mel
in uniform, but abundant observation
shows that in many eases this regula
tion has not been carried out, so far a
the sale of liquor TO the sailors is con
cerned, since they have been allowed t.
return to the cities of Panama and Col
on.
This quadrangular condition on III
Isthmus, in which there are four dis
tinct governments to all practical pun
poses, in territory of 100 square mile
and population of 100000 people, ha
a tendency to make the situation loo
ridiculous in the eyes of those who wis
to see law and order enforced.

CRISTOBAL, Panama, March 10
The desirability of clear-cut defni-
ton of the policy to be followed be-
tween the United States and the re-
public of Panama on the subject of the
influence of vicious resorts upon the
United States military and naval for
ecs stationed on the Isthmus has been
illustrated lately in u striking way.
During the war, the command of the
military and naval forces, as well as
of the Panama canal, was vested IN the
general commanding the United States
troops on the Isthmus of Panama. This
arrangement was in accordance with
an act of congress empowering the
president to make the arrangement cf-
fectivc at his discretion.
The arrangement was put into effect
soon after the United States entered
the war, and it was in pursuance of
his powers that the general command
ing the troops issued an order prevent
ing both the military and the naval
forces from entering the cities Of Pan
ANA, and Colon, as long as the vicious

Spring is only few weeks off.
No Hudson dealer has enough cars
to meet the first few days require
ments when spring buying gets
under way.
Men are getting to realize that
situation. They are buying their
open cars now. They take no
chances on deliveries in the face of
the known limited stocks, and the
fact that the factory will not be able
to resume full production before
June.
1t isn't hard to understand the
cause for this situation, peculiar and
we believe exclusive to Hudson in
the fine car class. 1t is due entirely
to the value of the Super-Six as
gagged by its performances, its rep
utation, its endurance and its cost.
There is nothing fictitious about
its value. 1t has never been neces-
