LADIES /! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody Will
Know.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back TO grandmother time.
She used it to keep her hair beauti-
fully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful 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out of date.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, i'm
proved BY the addition of other ingre-
dents, which can be depended upon TO
restore natural color and beauty TO
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
SAYS il darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after another
application or two, it becomes beauti-
fully dark and glossy.-Adv.

SENDING EXCESS WOMEN
OUT OF BRITISH ISLES
Salvation Army Is Cooperating with
British Government in Securing
Better Distribution of
the Sexes.

New York, March 4.-The Salvation
Army in the British Isles, working in
cooperation with the government is
promoting emigration of the approx
mately l,250,000 women in excess OF
the male population there, Commits
sioner David c. Lamb London foreign
secretary of the Army on a mission to
the United States, has announced here,
Spinsterhood or emigration is the
fate of these women, the commissioner
asserted, adding:
"We offer no apology for active
propaganda designed to procure bet
ter distribution of the sexes. There
are million and quarter more wom-
en- than men in the British Isles to-
day, and one of the biggest after the
war tasks assigned the Salvation Army
in Britain is to stimulate female emf
grafton and direct it to those colonies
in the British empire such as western
Canada and portions of Africa and Aus
tralia, where there are more male than
female inhabitants. The prospect of
placing female domestics in the United
States has not been overlooked.
"The Salvation Army has dispatched
several shiploads of emigrants to Can
ada already. We help them make Nar-
rangements to leave the old country,
provide transportation when necessary
and through our worldwide Organiza
ton see to it that the emigrants are
safely settled in the new land.
Our records show that of the girls
who emigrated some years ago to GER
tain sections where women were i'll the
minority 90 per cent were married
within three years of their arrival.
This fact and the opportunities for
work at good wages in other lands are
not without significance to the tens OF
thousands Of thoughtful and enterpris
ing women in the British Isles
Other after the-war conditions in the
British Isles included the virtual dis
appearance of the vagrant. and the
shortage of agricultural labor due in
part to the wartime cultivation of
more than 100000 acres of grass land,
Commissioner Lamb said.
The success or failure of local OPP
ton" in Scotland will furnish a good
indication on the prospects for prohi-
bition in the Isles, he said, adding that
the probabilities are that the public
houses will go in many parts of Scot
land.

ever, the tendency is toward a restric-
ton on the sale of liquor in public

SPAIN IS BESET
WITH JUNTAS
And in Last Two Years There Have
Been Not Less Than Eight New
Governments, with so Minis
terial Changes.

Madrid, March Spain has had not
less than eight new governments with
90 ministerial changes in less than two
years. Last year alone saw four
changes in cabinets with A ministe-
rial changes Virtually every one of
these changes was due to the military
iuntas, or as they are called, "consuta.
tive committees"
These iuntas were originally formed
to fight favoritism and injustice in the
army, the chief grievance of the mem
bers being that places on the general
staff were allotted to favorites of the
government of the day One of the
first actions OF the juntas, which are
presided over by the colonies, the high
est ranking officers who are allowed to
join, was to decide that none of the
members should allow their names to
be placed in nomination for places on
the general staff.
The result would have been that aft
er the deaths or retirement of the pres
emit members there would be no officers
to form the staff. But % officers re-
fused TO be bound by this decision, with
the result that they were hailed before
courts Of honor and their designations
from the army insisted upon Govern
ments, under pressure from the liberal,
socialist and other progressive elements
in the Cortes, have promised to revoke
these decisions of the courts of honor,
but found it difficult To do so, for the
juntas threatened to withdraw their
support from the government, in other
words, should an emergency arise such
as a revolution or social war, the army
would be leaderless.
Thus the iuntas became a political
force which opposed radical legislation
and otherwise interfered in affairs of
state. They are really a great frater
nal society. the members OF which ac-
cept orders only from the presiding
colonies in all affairs of the army, ig-
noring those of king, generals and gov
eminent.
To dissolve these juntas the Cortes
must pass bill to repeal the act which
legalized them, and the moment that
is done. every infantry officer who
obeys the orders of his junta, must
resign from the army.
Sooner or later the new cabinet must
face debate on the military ques
ton" This has, since the intervention
Of the juntss in politics, each time led
to the downfall OF the ministry.
King Alfonso's name has invariably
been left out of the discussion. but il is
said that the officers induced him to
support the organization and his action

report the strike in Portugal, which
was at first confined to governmental
roads, has spread to private railroads
and tramways and that postal and

All railroads in Portugal, the Mail

WAITING FOR THE TOURISTS
France Expects Them to Bring Gold
Enough to Help Out Greatly.

tourists season is expected by France
to have considerable effect toward
ameiorating the unfavorable condition
of French exchange on America. New
ertheless the questions OF providing
transportation and hotel accommoda
tions here are causing some misgivings
and hotel keepers generally are bewall-
ing the limited means of bringing Wis
itors TO France.
Dial Piaz, director of the Trans-At-
lantic company. has expressed his opln-
ion that the number OF Americans de-
string to visit France in the coming
season will far surpass the transpor-
tation facilities, but that this will be
relieved by the putting into service OF
passenger vessels now under construc-
ton principally in England before the
French hotels have been organized to
receive the expected influx of foreign
visitors.
The warning that Americans ARE
terribly exacting' as regards comfort
in hotels and as to their management
is given by Victor Cambon, an engineer
who knows America well He says
at is not only the rich who desire
refinement in hotels, but all Amer
leans.

like Lyons, Marseiles and Rouen are
included

Sandwich Mass, March 4.-The Cape
Cod canal was opened to-day to allow

Boston and other New England points.
1t had been closed to traffic since the
government relinquished control last
Sunday night.
Operations through the canal are ex-
pected to cease again after the coal
feet at the western entrance has passed
through, as its continued operation has
become matter of litigation between
the Boston, Cape Cod & New York
Canal company and the government
over the purchase price to be paid by
the latter.
Sherman L. Whipple, counsel for the
canal company, said that the service
was resumed temporarily at the re-
quest of Governor Coolidge to meet the
emergency caused by the fuel shortage.
About Is barges, carrying 10000 tons
of coal, were released when the canal

TEACHERS NEED MORE PAY.
Theodore N. Vail Expresses Opinions to
Vermont Teachers.

Theodore n. Walls opinions on the
question of teachers salaries are con
tanned in the following letter to the
committee on salaries of the Vermont
Women Teachers club:
COMMITTEE on Salaries, Vermont
Women Teachers club:
at would seem to me that from nc
point of view was any argument need
ed for an increase in the compensation
of our public school teachers.
Compensation for any particular
service like all other values is con
trolled by supply and demand, and by
the value of the service, and all should
maintain a relatively to compensation
for other services, and to the cost OF
living. Every consideration, therefore
upon which compensation is based calls
for an increase.
''In the past few years the openings
and competition in demand and the
compensation for the services OF won
en- have increased very rapidly, making
a vast increase in the number OF posi-
tions now open to those who would
otherwise seek teachers positions
"While the cost of living, or rather
the increased requirements and serv-
ices of our modern life make increases
the rule, the ability on the part of the
public to pay has greatly increased.
These are the purely material rea-
sons, while from the educational point
of view there are more and greater rea-
sons
Little by little, more and more of
the education of youth, mental, mora ,
physical and industrial, is being inn
posed on the school and the teacher,
and the requirements of educa tion have
vastly broadened.
ITO meet this the necessary educa-
ton and preparation required for
teaching and the time and expense de-
voted to acquiring this education and
experience are becoming greater and
greater, which can only be met by in
creased compensation
THE future of our country is depend
ent upon the training of our youth. The
result of proper youthful training is
In the future. II is an intangible thing,
and like all intangible things is very
apt not to be fully appreciated. We are
apt only to respond to something that
has immediate results
I'VE must awake to the necessities of
our modern civilization, of our inereas-
ing dependence upon each other, our
Capitalization. The old order has
passed with the old time isolation and
self dependence, and we must prepare
those who will rule the future to meet
the conditions OF the future, its added
responsibilities and obligations, both to
the individual and to society.
