Evangelire Booth is the daugh-
ter of Gen. William Booth. who
founded the Salvation Army fifty
years ago and whose death, in
1909. caused genuine sorrow
around the world. When only
IL years of age, Evangeline was
taken by her father, then a
struggling clergyman, who had
espoused the cause of the poor,
and was shown the plight of the
most needy people in lower Lon
don, and instructed as to the
methods for helping them ma
terially, while still extending to
then, the profer of Christianitys
teachings. Well educated IN 3
private school of London, and
carefully tutored by an inspired
mother, EvangeIine Booth grew
lup in the atmosphere of the Sal
vation Army work. When still in
her girIhood, and before she
could qualify to become Saliva
tion Army officer, Miss Booth
sold matches, clad in rags and
tatters. SO that she might estab-
Hsh absolute contact with deni-
rens of the toughest and toughest
section. of all London.
In the years that followed,
while the movement grew apace,
Evangeline became the chief Of
fcer of a Salvation Army corps.
and while so serving withstood
an attack from an organized
band of hoodlums which at
tempted TO run her group of res
cue workers out of dark cor
uer in London. Even as her
father had been repeatedly stoned
from his soap box pulpits in the
alleys of the great city, Evange-
line was set upon and roughly
handled, but her followers fought
the mob, as they have always
fought under like conditions,
with the determination of ia
talists. and while many were sent
to hospitals, all survived.
In later years EvangeIine was
commissioned to take charge of
the Salvation Army work in
Canada, and in her service there
endeared herself to the people of
thar country. rich and poor alike.
Ten years ago she was assigned
TO work in this county. and I'D
der her leadership the Salvation
Army has been built up and ex-
panded until to-day it is firmly
and successfully established in
$50 cities and towns of the
United States. With a board of
national executives numbering
twelve, mostly men and veterans
in the movement. and with pro-
vinciai officers supervising the
work in the various sections, this
woman has lived to see the
dubious sunrise and the glorious
MONDAY of Salvation Army work
in this country. The Western
States are handled from a central
Office in Chicago under direction
of a commissioner, who in turn is
supervised by the national head
quarters in New York city.

years thar America has awakened
to a full appreciation of the Sal

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Ladies! Try this! Darkens beautifully
and nobody can tell-Brings back
its gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol add
ed, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addition
of other ingredients atlarge bottle, at
little cost, at drug stores, known as
Wyeth Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, - thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retaingour youthful ap-
pearanee and attractiveness. BY dark
ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, be-
cause it does it so naturally, so evenly
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at 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.-Adv. ts

treat by the Sudden Appearance of
Dutch Guard-To Have Presented
Him to Wilson for Christmas Gift.

WASHINGTON. April Col. Luke
Lea, former United States senator from
Tennessee, commander Of the ll4th field
artillery OF the Both division-the ''Old
Hickory division OF Carohnians and Ten
nesseeans- returned from France on
" a week ago in command of his men, is
the American colonel who led the party
OF American army officers who tried to
kidnap the former German kaiser last
winter.
The fact that Col. Lea headed the kid
mapping party has been fully confirmed
from the lips of Tennessee man who
talked with Col Lea upon his arrival at
Newport News, Va, in command of the
ll4th field artillery last Sunday after that
unit had arrived from St Nazaire, France,
on the transport Finland.
While current versions of the story
printed last January in French, British
and American newspapers asserted that
the attempt to kidnap the kaiser was
made on Jan 5, Col. Lea Indicated to
those with whom he spoke last Sunday
that it really took place just before
Christmas.
What were you going to do with the
kaiser if your kidnapping project had
succeeded" Col Lea was asked by those
to whom he admitted that he headed the
party that went to the castle of Count
Won Bentinck, near Amerongen.
We were going to give him a free ride
to Paris in our automobile and present
him TO President Wilson as a Christmas
gift"
This statement by Col Lea would in
dicate that the attempt was made JUS
before Christmas, and it was intimateC
that it took place about Bee. 81. From
what was learned from the gentlemen
who talked with Col Lea at Newpor
News there were fully dozen officers an,
men of the American army in the auto
mobile party commanded by Col Lea tina

They were armed with passports, whic

Vermont at Work.
lHartford Courant. J


The Rutland Herald of Thursday in
terested many folks outside the state
of Vermont when it told its readers
that bumper crop of maple sugar is
assured and if it was assured then it
it is even in better shape now because
the sudden return of winter will renew
the flow of sap when the inevitable
thaw sets in. 1t should pretty nearly
double the yield.
We can agree that Friday was q dies
non for those sugar makers, but the
added snow and low temperature should
prolong the season. The further state
ment is made that fine runs of sap
have been noted as far north as Cana
da and that the season has been good
in Ohio and in New York state where,
very likely, the sugar Is marketed us
the Vermont article. 1t may be as good
if it has not been adulterated by the
addition of brown sugar of the cane
sort. =
Then we get this information:-
Notwithstanding the good crop in
prospect, syrup and sugar are bringing
top prices this year Syrup in cans is
retailing at from 50 to 50 25 per gal
lon and sugar in fancy cakes is sold as
high as 30 cents per pound. That put
up in pals costs on an average of 81
cents per pound.
Who cares about the price? Vermont
maple sugar is worth whatever is
| charged for it, and even a little more
than that, and as much may be said for
the syrup. The place to eat either
| however, is where it is made and before
1T has thoroughly cooled. 1t is then
worth the serious attention of any per
son between the ages of four and 81

that the daylight saving plan would
