Some Relief Seen When Troops Arr1Xe tD Protect Working Miners i'll Nir- ginia Fields From Iadfcals-Ear West Mines RcOpcninS. .

4 4 Chicano NoX. 2o-CloSing of addi- { tional manufacturing plants in the middle west with others placed on further curtailed fuel ration and les- soning of production, even in the mines which have been worked since the strike of soft coal miners went into effect more than three weeks ago were in prospect today A ray of hope the first tangible one to pene- trate the gloom of the steadily grow ing menace of coal shortage hince the miners walked out, entered the situation, however, with consideration of the entire strike question by Presi- dent Wilson's cabinet with possible reference to the chief executive of the whole difficulty.
 Little Ray of Hope.
 From none of the great production fields came an indication today that miners had altered their disposition to await an agreement by the operators miners conference at Washington. Tn Wyoming and Oklahoma there was a prospect of production being resumed. In West Virginia where the greatest quantities of fuel have been brought out , since the strike started, state troops were ready to curb radicals who threatened to shoot miners returning to work and if was expected the 10 Der cent loss of production reported yesterday would soon be regained-
 The Wyoming miners were to re- turn today after a one-day strike. In Oklahoma Governor Robertson pre- dicted mining operations would be started again on the state prison farm either today or tom morrow.
 Only 25 Days' Supply. ~.
 Ir3d rtc vfa ,,ti ties were operating on q greatly re- duced basis, steps to conserve the shoTf coal supply being moro drastic than in the Chicago district, where many plants have closed A wave of crime that followed cutting off of street illumination in Chicago caused revocation of that orGer. Enough fuel for 2s days if used only for necessi- ties remains in Chicago, it was stated In the Pittsburgh district also distri- button of coal was on q limited scale
 An alleged shortage at the mines in West Virginia and kenucly of a suf- f1cient number of cars to remove the fuel being brought out there was said by operators 60 be handicapping their efforts to supply the rest of the coun- try.

Federal Prohibition Commissioner Says People Are Law-Abiding an,l That Will COunt-NIakes His F,irst Statement.

Washington, Nov. Reinforcement of constitutional prohibition will be placed Squarely up to state and muni- cipal authorities and the federal gov ernment ma chinery will not intervene unless obvious inefficiency on the part of local officials make such action necessary, the board of temperance of the Methodist Episcopal church was told here today by John E. Kramer, federal prohibition commissioner. It was MT. Kraber's first pronounceInent of policy since he assumed office a week ago. Es
 MT. Kramer said the people of the country could be divided into two classes.
 Line of Demarkation.
 Heretofore the line of demarka- ton has been between those who ia vored the prohibition of the liquor traffic and those who opposed it," he said. From now on the line of de- markation will be between those who are in favor of obeying the law, whether their personal views are in harmony with the, law or not, and those who will be ready and anxious to violate the law
 Describing the machinery being set up for the enforcement of prohibition laws MT. Kramer said the first step would be with the various state in SpectorS. ''
 Various State Inspectors.
 They will keep themselves inform ed as to conditions in their states" he said, "and will report to the state fed eral director who will investigate and report to the federal district agent, who will use his forces to investigate and arrest if evidence warrants. One of the chief duties of the state federal director will be to enlist the aid of all state officers He will also endeavor to secure the backing and support of all civic, moral and religious bodies.
 Affirming his belief that the great mass of the American people were al heart, law-abiding, the prohibition chief declared that "this fact will tell nightly in the matter of getting re- suits from the law

LADIES! DARkEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sui. phur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to- it's natural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep Ter hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap pearance, 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 Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- ton of other ingredients, which can be depended upon 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 it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this-through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy.
