BE PRETTY! TURN
 CRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nova days, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingreients, at small cost.
 Don't stay gray Try 1t No one can possibly tell that you dark ened your hair, as 1t does it so na- turally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, talk Ing one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

CONFERENCE MAKES PROGRESS.

distinctly hopeful feeling developed when Arthur J. Balfour, former Premier and lead 2r among British statesmen, head of England's dele sation at the Washington Conference approved the American battleship plan and suggested that ther should be- in addition, limitation to the number and size of submarines to be built. The indications are Fl. favorable that the Conference will accomplish the things which it was convened for. We may ably conclude that there will be radical reduction ill the construction of naval ships and that there will ba less in the navies of the world in the future IL 4n there have been in the past.
 If the plan presented by Secretary Hughes is car ifed out. and policy to other ships that woul be n harmony with the proposed battleship program were adopted it would the United States $200 : oe0 900 annually and release lot of capital material and talent for essential industries.

MIR. BALLAINE AND THE STEAMSHIP
 SERVICE.

Among the many complaints presented by MT. Bal aina to the Senate Committee Territories one Gst the steamships operating the Alaska line re- used call ports for freight unless they regard the quantity offered worth while.
 Let us concede, for the sake of argument, that ,fr Ballaine's contention is true. What would he nave? Would he compel the liners that operate be ...n Alaska and Puget Sound to call ports at 9 les lo them? Does he understand that do would compel steamship companies either to operate at
 the loss account of the profitless calls }pon the traffic for the rest of the Territory?
 As matter of fact, of the causes for the high i1e-lit and passenger rates to Alaska is the cir constance that large vessels carry full cargoes, large passenger lists. and their big crews, etc, to many l he ou-of-the-way ports. Cheap freight and pas saser rates usually follow the establishment of term ilsae for the large liners in such way that vessels rake only few stops on each voyage. Low freight rates prevail the route between Seattle and San Francisco, for instance because the liners on that 3aute do call Bengham, Everett, Olympia, Fort Angeles, Port Townsend, Anacortes and many otber ports but deliver the freight intended for them a Seattle Rates low they between New York and Liverpool, New York and Southamp toFl, New York and other European terminals, for similar reasons Freight and passengers car ried between the wospors, and the cost of distribu tidn from the terminals is borne by the shippers
 The economical remedy for the situation con- pained of by Mr. Ballaine would be to have better local transportation in Alaska If the large liners wore not utilized much as they are for local carrying purposes they could make lower rates be- tween important terminals. It ought to be plain that it adds to the of transportation in Alaska to large vessels carrying large cargoes large passenger
 lists and large to little points that could be served well with a boat of % tons, less with their small crews When the Alameda, for instance. stops at cannery fishing take few tons of freight and a few passengers it that
 vessel that is valued at many hundreds of thousands of dollars with heavy fuel costs, large tn t draw pay and often hundreds of people that be fed is doing work that could be done muca cheaper by smaller vessel that could be operate I at less expense. It is like shooting sparrows witt cannon. It is very cumbersome and crude system Not only does this sort of procedure make transpor- tation large but 1t interrupts and dsarrangos schedules.
 If the Government would aid Alaska transportation n end reduce the cost 1t should create mail rout IS and provide compensation that would permit the outlying points to get regular service with q satisfactory boat from the other of tNe terminals that may be established That would enab the liners that between Alaska and the port at the south to lower their the termina 2, make quicker and regular deliveries of freigl and passengers and give a-around bette : service

The New Dawn.
Fairbanks News-Miner.


 The New Dawn, the wedding of the Outside and the Inside, is almost with and it's presence caA already be detected. The town is filling up to a greater extent than it before has this time o the year, until it gives grave for alarm that will not be able to house the people who will be with us in the early part Of the New Year Probably not than 20 miles the railway remains to- night to be completed and although the Commission has not promised us the completed road before March or April, if this fine building weather continues it wouldn't surprise if there should be no walking to do between ''steel" on December 1.
 To the News-Miner last mail came numerous let ters prophesyng great things for Our Town and Camp for the coming year One man at Anchorage who says he will be here early in this winter, and who has spent in Coast of Alaska says in part
 With the completion of the Railroad, Mir Thomp- son, Fairbanks will become the town of Western Alaska. Thousands will journey the railroad Fairbanks next year, and all the things you have predicted for Fairbanks will become real I will be there this winter and may possibly decide to locate there"
 From end of the United States to the other they writing letters asking for information egarding Our Town, and the chances for them here but most of the writers desire to engage in business here so we can give them little information. In al most state in the Union people subscribers for every issue of this paper paid by the year in ad vance, that they may judge for themselves from ing the ads and the prices the development stories what their chances will be here. They have no possible excuse for taking a paper of town they do not know soul in, that they are expecting to come here and wish to know something of us and Our Town before they come-cheaper learn from the paper, than to and learn from personal ex perience. Which sounds reasonable
 So boys, prepare for the coming of the New Dawn We do not know what it will be, but it's coming and we will have to figure with it. If any of us feel wise in our experience feel that We cannot compete with the new fellows from the Outside we should remember that when the new ones come it will be easy to sell out to them for they men, will rather buy established business than try to put it out of business.

Refunding the National Debt.
(New York World.)

If Congress will not intrust the Secretary of the Treasury with full power to arrange terms for the rcfunding of the foreign debt of over $1O 900 900 ooO owed to the United States the House plan of commission of i've of which the Secretary shall be a member, would to be most practicable That Congress should take hand in the transac- tlon, either by requiring its approval every ar engagement entered into with foreign debtor nations or otherwise, is not seriously to be considered It would be like throwing the question into a mass meeting and expecting intelligent solution It is only necessary to read the debate in the House to realize how impossible it would be to handle the matter under any such restrictions.
 The refunding of the foreign debt is a delicate problem, not to be complicated by politicians pro posals as to the payment of the soldier bonus dis armament or other projects. It is a problem that in the settlement calls equally for financial knowledge diplomacy and acquaintance with the actual condi- tions prevailing abroad. In these respects Congress is wholly unftted to the task The sooner it provides for the creation of special commission the better it will do it's duty.

Japan, China and the Conference.
(TOkio Asahi.)

Japan welcomes the American proposal which comes from the principle of humanity and we believe that the conference affords excellent opportunity for the settlement, not only of Far Eastern problems centering China, but also of and emigration questions In these problems Japan and China have common interests If the countries the Pacific are purged of racial prejudice and freely opened not only the Shantung question: which has been the source of much dispute betwen Japan and China but minor questions relating to Japans special position in Manchuria and Mongolia be settled without any difficulty.
 Let make proposal to China, though it may prove only ideal. That is that the proposed conference Japan and China in firm cooperation should propose the worldwide principle of the open door and equal opportunity and obtain as much in- ternational recognition for this principle as for Am ericas principle of humanity. Among the intelligent classes of China there some who share views It is to be hoped that at this golden opportunity Japan and China will face the conference real operation and act positively for the sake of the worlds peace
