FEW FOLKS HAVE
CRAY HAIR NOW
WeII-known local druggist says every
body is using oid-tin7e recipe Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and fnstre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeIess, is caused by a lack Of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly that nobody can possibly tell
it has been applied. You just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time
BY morning the gray hair disap-
pears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few appli-
cations, 1t also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appear
ance OF abundance.

| LAWSON SAVES
DAILY PAPERS
More Than Fifty Saved From Sus-
pension by Generous Action Of
Chicago Daily News
Publisher.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Victor F. Law
son, publisher OF the Chicago Daily
News, has released 100 tons OF news
print, to be distributed to smaller

are reported facing suspension II i'm
mediate assistance is not given them,
it was announced.
A number of newspapers are with
out mill connections, according to }. L.
Fearing, western manager of the In
ternational Paper company, who said
that the action of Lawson and other
large publishers in releasing part OF
their tonnage at the request OF the
International Paper company, George
H. Mead company and other concerns
had saved the lives OF many papers
Fearing, who asked Lawson to re-
lease the tonnage, said he found him
anxious to cooperate. At Lawson's
request the paper will be distributed
by Fearing, who said that this action
and that of other large publishers
had already had softening effect
upon the spot" market and that
there were Indications of an early
adjustment of the newsprint situa.
ton.
Fearing stated that so far as pos.
sible the distribution Of the paper
would be effected through the COM
mittee on newsprint supply, with
which the Inland Daily Press asso-
citation is affiliated, through Willard
E. Carpenter, of the Lincoln (Ill)
Courier-Herald, chairman Of the ex'
ecutive newsprint committee; A w.
Petersen, of the Waterloo Uowa)
Courier; w R Lindsay, of the Ma
rion (Ind) Chronicle; Il. P. Alder, of
the Davenport Uowa) Times, and
Roscoe Chapman. Rockford 1n.)
Star.
Carpenter said more than fifty
daily newspapers had been saved
from suspension through the efforts
of the committee on newsprint sup
ply, and that the generosity Of Law
son, following the action Of other
publishers, would be generally fol-
lowed throughout the country, bring
ing relief to the smaller newspapers
having NO contracts with paper mills.

Grain Review.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, May 28-With the end
of the month in sight, there was much
activity in May grains ON the Chi
cago board of trade today. There
was slight easing of in all grains
at the opening because of improved
weather and transportation. This was
followed by slight buying rush
which took July corn up three cents.
The buying was short lived. Heavy
selling took July corn down seven
cents and other grains were lower.
At the bottom there developed thu
usual buying by shorts and the mar.
ket firmed.
Provisions were affected by a
stronger hog market Saturday viii
be the last day of trading under
present conditions. Monday being 4
holiday. June / win find grains out
of government control and trading
started on new basis with May
grains out Of the way

SUPERINTENDENT
AT VINTON, IOWA
George D. Eaton Will Resign His
Position at Laurens, Iowa, to
Take Up Field Work in
New York.

At the close of the school year,
George d. Eaton. superintendent Of
schools, Laurens, Iowa, will resign
his position to take UP field work
with the national committee for the
prevention of blindness, 1870 Ea st
Twenty-second street, New York
It will be recalled that for ten
years Mr.. Eaton was superintendent
of the Iowa College for the Blind at
Vinton. While in this work, from
which he resigned TO take up war
activities, he became interested in
finding out the many causes of blind
ness among his students and In Civ
ing special attention to those that
could be prevented SO that like TRACE
dies need not again occur Although
the board of education of Laurens
has offered him every inducement to
remain at his present post, he has
felt the call Of the great work being
done by the national committee for
the prevention of blindness and will
take I'D his duties as
field secretary with that organization
One of the chief causes of blind
ness among children in states where
no law exists to prevent it is ophthal
mia neonatorum, commonly known as
babies sore eyes; 1t is responsible
for the blindness of at least ten thou.
sand people in the United States.
Iowa has no law to prevent this dread
but 1t is hoped that the next
session Of the legislature will safe
guard the coming generations so that
no more little children will have to
live in world of darkness and learn
to see with their fingers.

SULPHUR CLEARS
ROUGH, RED SKIN
Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made
Smooth, Says Specialist

Any breaking out of the skin, even
berry, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Men
lho-Sulphur, declares noted skin
specialist, Because Of its germ de-
stroying properties, this sulphur
preparation begins at once to soothe
trritated skin and heal eruptions
such as rash, pinples and ring worm.
1t seldom fails to remove the tor
n1ent and disagreement, and you do
hot have to wait for relief from en-
barrassment Improvement quickly
shows Sufferers from skin trouble
should obtain a small jar of Mantho O.
sulphur from any good druggist and
use it like cold cream.

DANES ARE BEST
EATERS OF ALL
CONSUME Food From Early Morn Un.
til Late at Night and at All Times
In Between-Like Heavy
Food and Pastries

I have estimated, writes an Amerf-
can in the London Daily mail, that
the Danes eat on an average, every
two hours throughout the day, AMI
that they eat more than twice az
much as we Americans, who eat half
as much again as the Britishers. The
climate, bracing and harsh, in which
sleep is a minor essential, has a lot
to do with it. The Dane, too, is
confirmed restaurant goer, he lives IN
cafes and restaurants-that is, in an
atmosphere Of food.
A young Dane of my acquaintance
eats as follows:
8 a. m.-Several cups of coffee.
eight or nine slices Of thick bread
with thicker butter. 10 a. m.-BreaK.
fast, corresponding to our luncheon.
Ingredients: Bacon and eggs, beef
stead and potatoes, much bread and
butter, beer, cream cakes-all N
double quantities compared with
American standards.
At p. m.-Smorbrod. This is tho
national dish and consists of fifty
+ eight variations Of fish, meat. eggs,
vegetables, cheese, made up into
every conceivable form Of delicacT
well and truly laid ON thick bread
with thicker butter.
! For the Dane is an eater between
meals and the smorbrod is his stand
by. The most popular is a four
stored affair and is typical of all the
ffty-eight varieties-the same list IS
handed you in every restaurant. II
consists Of bread. butter, cold roast
beef. fried onions and a fried egg
all laid one on top Of the other. Il
costs only a shilling and is a lunch
in itself. But, alas, the smorbrod
does not agree with war trained
American and English interiors.
( The Danes eat smorbrods all day
hong, in the stalls at the theater, at
I the cinema, in the concert hall, even
/ at such events as boxing contest.
Whenever they SIT down. as we would
to a cup of tea, the clanc es are thc+
will order smorbrods-three and four
OF them. They do not call this 'eat-
ing" They cannot supply another
word, but wax indignant if. catching
them at a smorbrod, you say: Great
heavens, you're eating again."
At ! p. m, smorbrod- This is the
craving for coffee and creameries.

 Officials were not certain when the note would go forward. The Ameri- can government is understood to hold that there is no sound reason for re- taining the Turkish capital in Flu rope. The United States is said to take the view that the contention that expulsion of the Turks might be re- sented bv the Mohamendans. is not supported by the facts since the war in the near east was won largely by the aid of Mohamedans.
 The United States. it is said, de- sires that Armenia be set up as an independent state and that it en- brace as much territory as the Ar menian government can control. It also desires that any arrangement that is made with Turkey shall have strong guarantees.
 The position of the United States. it is understood, also is that in any arrangement for the government of Constantinople and the Turkish states place for the participation of Russia should be made as the American government is convinced that no plan of settlement that no plan of settlement can be successful in thee long run without taking into account the interest of Russia.
