THAT COLORED
SORORITY AID
Girls in Iowa University Dislike the
Impression That They SoIic-
tied Money For lnitia-
ton Fees.

1--WE wish to assert through your
paper that the statement is entirely
untrue" writes the Alpha club Of the
Iowa State university Of the state
ment Of Miss Sidney J. Davis, of a.
mission in Keokuk. that member
of that club wrote her telling of
their struggles to procure money for
initiation fees into sorority.
The mission gave initiation fees to
the two Keokuk candidates and the
writer of the letter out Of its treas
ury, Miss Davis told The Gate City
the other day The club says that
for two years it has depended en-
trely on its own financial resources
that it has struggled to success, not
for initiation fees, but to uphold its
purpose.
The club says Miss Davis visited
it, showed high appreciation Of its
aims, told it she wished to be of as
sistance in an intellectual field, and
left 1t under no impression that
money would be contributed because
it was absolutely essential for their
obtaining a chapter charter for a
sorority, but because she was desir-
Gus of aiding an institution which
stood for high ethical and scholastic
standards. The financial aid she

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
YOU darkened your hair, as 1t does
it so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

The expectant motler's physical comfort
should be our first thought, and all about
her should see to It that her preparations
for baby's coming be complete.
There is a most splendid remedy to pre-
pare women for the greatest time in their
lives, known az Mothers Friend. 1t Is mp
piled to the muscles Of the abdomen, gently
rubbed in, and at once penetrates to relieve
strain on nerves, cords and ligaments. 1t
makes the muscles so plant that they eH-
pand easily when baby arrives; the hours
at the time are fewer. and pain and danger
at the criRis Is naturally avoided.
Mothers Friend enables the mother to
preserve her health and strength. and she
remains a pretty mother by having avoided
discomfort and suffering which more often
than otherwise accompanies such an occa-
sion when nature is unaided. Every nerve.
muscle and tendon Is thoroughly fabricated.
Discomfort during the period Is counter
acted, and the skin, after the crisis. is left
smooth and natural.

They Dare the keokuk Baptists to
Show a Better Sunday School
Record Than They Them
selves.

One of the latest things in con-
tests. which the sports editor and
the religious editor dispute about

and in this case will root for the
First Baptist over the Central Bap-
list Sunday school.

Living Conditions Better.

Living conditions throughout the
entire Gondrecourt area are improv-
ing daily with returning good wealth
err All the ice on the small streams
has now disappeared and even the
almost habitual rain which charac-
terizes the upper Meuse has given
way to a spell of beautiful weather
A little mud remains on the roads,
but that is all.
The Gondrecourt zone, in late
March and early April, is said to
be one of the most picturesque and
beautiful spots in all France. The
area is bounded on either side by a
long chain of low hills. These are
only under cultivation here and there,
being left in their original timber
for the most part.

Europe until June, as anticipated,
the entire organization probably will
have an opportunity to take advan-
tage Of a second furlough period A
furlough Of seven days, exclusive of
travel, is allowed to every man in
the A. E. F. every four months.
The division is just completing its
first series of leaves of this type. A
majority of the men have gone to
Nice and other southern resorts. A
second allowance of these furloughs
would give them an opportunity to
select some different part of the
country, and there is even a posi-
bility that Italy may be opened to

chanued All Their Plans.

He says that news that the dlVl-
sion is not on the sailing lists up to
at least July /, has wrought de-
cided change in the order of things
in the Gondrecourt area and in the
plans of practically every man in the
organization.
Last month, before the order came
telling the list of sailings, practically
all work was being carried on with
view to an early return to the
states and the likelihood of the en-
tire command being mustered out OF
the service soon. In fact. great
many men had already arranged to
resume their former occupations in
the near future, and business firms
in the states had sent world that
places would be waiting for these
soldiers on their return.
Today, however, all plans are be-
ing laid for stay in France up to
and including part of the summer
training schedules are being elabo.
rated and billets are being placed In
as comfortable state as possible.
The assurance that the division is
not on the early return lists has &C.
complished one thing, if nothing
else--it has given the present loca
ton of the command tone OF per
manency and has resulted in re-
doubled efforts to establish every
man in pleasant surroundings.
Within a short time now, il the
construction work continues at its
present pace, the Gondrecourt area
will be one of the most ideal for
billeting in all of France. Practically
every Judgement in the zone has been
equipped with stoves. supplied every
day by long wood trains. Each man
is given a sufficient allowance of
wood to keep his quarters warm and
comfortable.
