You Can Bring Back Color and Lus.
tire with Sage Tea and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, 50

blesome. At little cost, you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking /one small
strand at time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, elossv
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, Though no dis
grace, is signpf gid age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with

Continued from Page One.)

persons who brought about his dismissal
couldn't have done anything that would
have been a greater help TO the prohibl-
ton cause, because of the publicity re-
hing from it
Mr.. Wilson told many interesting facts
concerning law enforcement conditions
in Massachusetts, He said the enforce
ment laws in that state lack KICK IN
them. He told of one instance where a
man was brought into court three times
for violations OF the hquoT laws Inc
first time he was fined 500, the second
time $40 and the third time nothing at
all.
The trouble with Massachusetts, the
speaker said. is in the propaganda that
the vets are handing out FIRST they
say personal liberty is taken away by
prohibitions secondly, prohibition doesn
prohibit; thirdly, there are more drunks
now than ever before; fOurthiy, the law
was put over" on the people; and
filthy, prohibition is very expensive.
The speaker took up each of these points
THE reason that there are more
drunks in Massachusetts, the speaker
said, us because the boOtleggers and
rum runners know they have nothing TO
fear. There are no teeth in the law
there; the bootleggers include the fines
"a a part of their operating expenses
Many of the judges don't care whether
the law is enforced or not. But II the
bootleggcrs were given Jail sentence
you would see a change
Mr.. Wilson said that often we hear
that more liquor is being sold now than
ever before. Il don't believe they are
selling one-ffth of what used 10 be sold,
the speaker said. The liquor you get
NOWADAYS is made in low-dOWn, dirty
dives by filthy and unclean persons, and
how many people want to do business in
an old barn or cellar or unused kitchen?
There would be just as much sense in
your merchants on your Main street
moving their business into a cellar or
barn to avoid the rents they have 10 pay.
Would they do any business in such
localities? People don't do business when
they have to sell their goods under cover
and in dives
Regarding the question of stills, the
speaker said If you've a section in
your city where the smell is bad, go
there and look for still. You will al
ways find stills in operation where the
smell is covered up by another SMELL
Mr. Wilson told Of many stills which
he found while in the prohibition enforce
ment service. and many of them he said
used ordinary garbage from which TO
make liquor. He said he knew of many
eases where garbage cans were left IN
covered in the summer in order TO pro-
vide the basis for better distillatiOn.
Many of the moonshine manufacturers,
he said, believe that the more flies there
are in the garbage the better will be the
moonshine.
The bootlegger, the speaker said. is
worse than a pickpocket. The latter will
take the money out of your pocket, but
the bootlegger not only will take your
money. but will give you moOnshine that

ALLIES PRESENT
DARDANELLES PLAN
Would Have International Commission
Control Straits Turkey More
Favorable Than Russia.

LAUSANNE, Dec ASSOCIATED
Press) The entente plan for keeping
open the straits of the Dardanelles and
the Bosphorus in time of peace and war
provides for the appointment of an inter-
national commission of control composed
of the great powers. including the United
. States. as well as Turkey and the coun-
tries bordering on the Black sea.
Lord Curzon of Great Britain, in the
name of the allies, presented the details
of this comprehensive project 20 the
Near East conference today.
A change of front on the part of the
Turkish delegates was forecast while the
conference was in session. y Turkish
spokesman outside the auditorium said
the Turkish position on the straits con-
troll would probably be found nearer to
the allied plan than to the Russian.
The Turks, it appeared, had suddenly
realized that the Russian plan for con-
troll by Turkish warshipS would force
Turkey to build a navy. Hence doubts
had arisen in the minds of the Turkish
delegates, who seemed more disposed TO
negotiate a scheme for naturalization OF
the straits and the Black sea, with some
form of international control.
The allied control plan sets forth
scheme for limitation of the number of
warships and total tonnage to be allowed
in the waters under control, and gives
Turkey and the Black sea countries the
main in their ports.
The plan suggests the standardization
of the straits. 1t also gives Turkey the
right to search neutral merchant men IN
time of war.
Delegate Barrere of France said the
proposition. represented an attempt to
solve the straits problem without in
fringing upon the sovereignty of Turkey
or that of any country bordering upon
the Black sea.
In the conference session Richard
Washburn Child and Joseph c: Grew
presented the views of the United states.
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Rus
STA opposed the allied proposition.
Adjournment was taken until Friday
to permit the Turks to study the pro-
posal.
of the United States independent OF that
Of any other power. He said the United
States holds that the straits and the
Black sea must be open to ships ana
warships of all nations in time of peace
and of war. and that it opposes any plan
which would give one power control. gust
as it would in any other international
water.
