Dublin, May 25.-(By The A. F3- The Dublin custom house is in ruins tonight and all the most important doc uments Cf the government relating to Ireland, together with papers and rec ords' the value of which cannot be es- tmated have been destroyed.
 This. Dublin Castle officially announc- cs ls tho work of Sim Fein forces. which, at an early hour this afternoon made the most formidable attack against government property that has been en- r0ecred since the present rebellion be- gan.
 The employees of the various depart- Usats housed in the building were made prisoners vast quantities of petrol were poured over the interior of the building and the light was applied. Soon the military lorries crowded with soldiers appeared and a pitched battle snsued. Tho Snn Fc!ners occupied the custom house and. crowdng windows met the soldiers with heavy fire. Machine guns and rifles responded, and q strong cor don was thrown around the building
 When the flames became too hot, the raiders attempted to make their escape through the various doors, but several were shot down and killed and many were wounded. According to the ofiiciaf F'atemcut seven civilians were killed, eleven were wounded and eleven captul- cL Four Of the auXiuaries were wound cd.
 Crown forces in q sorte entered the building and made many captures. Some Of the raiders were saturated with petrol and it is believed that several met their death in the raging flames.
 The destruction of the Dublin custom house constitutes the most serious dam age since the rebellion. The building Of which nothing remains but the shell, was erected during the Irish parliament and was one of the most beautiful in Ire land. It had little 10 do with customs, but housed many of the chief adminstra- ton departments, and its destruction is more disabling to the ordinary machinery or the government than if Dublin Castle had been burned.
 The local government board whose function it is to control all Irish rep resentstive bodies had its offices in the building, This Srrl has been in con- E,ant conflict with Various bodies repudi- atlne allegiance to it and allying them- selves with the Dali Eireann, and it's records now are completely destroyed.

 Shortly before two o'clock in the after noon numerous young men, heavily arm cd, entered the custom house and held UT t-s staff assembling them in the vesti- bu,e under guard Two dozen boxes each containing four tanks of petrol and four bales of cotton waste, were passed into the building.
 The invaders arc said to have mum hered about sixty, some of them car rviug two revolvers each. Three police nler came in to see what was happening they wero promptly seized, deprived O their weapons and placed with the othe prisoners. Petrol was poured over thu most important documents and the build ing was set on f--a in number of places

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN
 BUENos AIRES AT ODDS

Buenos Aires, May 25.-If there are further attacks on non-union laborers in the port zone, such as those which oc- cured Tuesday, when two men were killed while attempting to enter the area prescribed by the union port workers, the labor protective associat ton, backed by its members, will join the non-union laborers in upholding their rights to work.
 This was made apparent today when the association published the following resolution:
 If any more humble workers are as sassfnated for the crime of seeking to earn their bread through honorable work, thousands of those associated with this association will go to the port to join those unjustly attacked, so that if there are killings of brave workers there also will be killings of loyal employees"
 The resolution added that the associ- ation would spare no efforts to obtain complete liberty to work. Officials of the association asserted today that they were determined to make another effort to use free labor when the port opens Friday, after the holiday. and that they counted on the government to give the promised police protection.

DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use Grand.
mothers Recipe Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur and No.
body VIII Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used 1t to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive. Whenever her hair
took on that dull. faded or streaked
appearance, this simple mixture was
applied with. wonderful effect.
But brewing. at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays, by ask
ing 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 ad-
dition of other Ingredients. which
can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown drug
gist says il darkens the hair so ma
turally and evenly that nobody can
tell 1t has been applied. You sim
ply dampen a sponge or soft brush
with 1t and draw this through your
hair, taking one strand at a time.
By morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application
or two, 1t becomes beautifully dark
and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requi-
site for those who desire a more
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Adv.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
= Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James n. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
eeaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he con-
suited physicians, made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
tion that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom
of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took It. with what
might be called marvellous success.
After years Of urging he decided
to let sufferers everywhere know
about his discovery through the
newspaper Peoples Drug Stores
have been appointed agents for Al
lenrhu in this vicinity, with the un-
derstanding that they will freely re-
turn the purchase money on the FIRST
two bottles to all who state they
received no benefit
