tion sent by the committee for the
meeting were more cordially received
Federation officials declined to dis
cuss the conference, saying that the
committee would make a report to the
executive council OF the organization.
In view OF the declaration of prin-
ciples adopted by the conference. it
was generally believed in labor quar-.
teis that the cooperation committee
had made greater progress toward a
common ground on which to meet the
farmers representatives than has any
previous union group Organized la
Dor was declared by several spokes-
men to be anxious to get organized
farmers in the fold for the campaign
which the workers plan to wage in
the forthcoming election.
In this contention, the statements
made in the declaration, adopted by
the conference, appealing to "all Of
those who contribute to society to
unite in furtherance of the principles" d"
were explained by labor leaders to
mean that organized labor must be
Joined by the producing classes IL its
victory is to be complete" These
leaders asserted that the problems
faced by organized labor are as much
the problems of the farmer because
they are both political and economic.
Every pressure is being brought to
bear on the farmer groups to line
them up for labor's program, it was
indicated at the Federation o. Labor
headquarters. Efforts, 1t was said,
will be made to show the farmers
that the conferences declaration
against radlcalism means as much to
the tiller of the soil as to the indus
trial worker, and that the organized
aid OF the country worker IS needed
in the fight against "autocratic con-
troll and monopolistic maneuvering OF

The whole platform" Of the con-
ference was understood to have been
drafted with a view to making It as
acceptable as possible to the farmers.
It was the work Of the Conservative
element OF the American Federation
OF Labor, and was understood to have
been prepared under the personal d.
rection Of Samuel Gompers, president
of the federation. For the reason it
was put out as feeler for the farm
ers, Mr. Gompers would permit no
changes to be made in it by the con-
ference, according to authentic In
formation.

Thin, Nervous People
Need Bitro-Phosphate

Weak, thin people-men or women
ARE nearly always nervous wrecks;
thus conclusively proving that thin
ness, weakness, debility and neuras-
thenia are almost invariably due to
nerve starvation. Feed your nerves
and all these symptoms due to nerve
starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one
OF the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Bitro-Phosphate, five-grain
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal. Being a genuine nerve
builder and not stimulant or habit
forming drug. Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer, and the results fol-
lowing its use are often simply aston
ishing.
BY strengthening the nerves, weak.
ured people regain energy and vigor;
shinness and angularity give way to
plumpness and curves; sleep returns
10 the, sleepless; confidence and
cheerfulness replace debility and
gloom: dull eyes become bright. and
pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink
glow of health.
CAUTION - Bitro-P Phosphate. the
use OF which Is inexpensive, also won
uerfully promotes the assimilation OF
FOOD, SO much SO, that many people
report marked gains in weight in
lew weeks. Those taking it who do not
desire to put on flesh, should use ex-
ira care in avoiding fat-producing
food.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO AMY SHADE
Don't stay erayl Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
duh, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of 'wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition OF other In
gradients. which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, II becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Ady.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair. fine

new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair. taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment--that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of 1t If you will just try little Dan
derine.--Adv.

NOTHING MORE TO Be SAID
Colonel Rooseveit's Answer to Envoy
Of German Kaiser Seemed to Cover
the Ground Thoroughly.

Not until after Colonel Roosevelt's
death has it been brought to light that
early in the war the kaiser deliberate
" tried to persuade Roosevelt that
etiquette demanded that Roosevelt
cease his opposition to Germany. In
September. 1914, the kaiser sent a spe-
cial envoy to Oyster Bay to wait upon
Colonel Roosevelt. The colonel re-
ceived him formally in the trophy
room. The envoy clicked his heels and
bowed and said:
Mr.. Roosevelt, his majesty the Ger
man emperor sends you his cordial
greetings and asks me to tell you that
he remembers your visit to Berlin with
the greatest pleasure and trusts that
the cordial reception which you re-
eeived there viii always remain fresh
In your memory as it does in his"
Roosevelt did not click his heels to-
gether, but he did click his teeth in
way that he had when he was about
to utter something which was intend
ed to end discussion.
'Tell his majesty from me that l
thank him for his cordial message and
that / remember my visit to Bepln
with the greatest pleasure. precisely
with the same pleasure that remem-
Der similar visit which | paid at the
same time to the king and queen of the

other word.-Exehange.
