DARE'S MENTHA PEPSIN
No Need to Tolerate
Gray Hair any Longer
You Can Restore the
Former Shade with
KOIOF-Bak 4

The clean, colorless liquid, known
as Kolor-Bak, has enabled thousands
of men and women to take years
from their appearance by restoring
the original shade to their gray hair.
The following is a letter typical
of many written in praise Of this
remarkable preparation.
only a short time ago my hair was
quite gray and becoming grayer. 1t was
falling out. My scalp itched and daE-
druf appeared.
Only few applications of Kolor-Bak
stopped the itching and dandruh. My
hair soon stopped coming out. Most
wonderful of all. however, is that my
hair is again its original shade. l look
ten years younger. No wonder I'm so
thankful for Kolor-Bak.
Authorities state that hair turns
gray when for any reason it fails
to receive the proper amount OF
coloring matter from the cells In
the scalp. No matter what the
cause of the grayness, it is amaZ-
ing to see how quickly Kolor- Bak
brings back the former shade. 1t is
the best known substitute for the
natural pigmentation.
Kolor-Bak is not sticky, greasy,
mussy or unpleasant to use. 1t is
Just a clean, colorless liquid con-
tanning ingredients known to be
beneficial to hair and scalp as
easy to use as water. Results
often appear in a week.
1t not only restores the former
shade to the hair; it banishes dan
druff, prevents itching of the scalp
and stops falling of the hair.
No samples of your hair required
no tests necessary this one
clean, colorless liquid is effective on
any gray hair. Money back instantly
if desired results do not appear.

self-if the damming Of the stream
occasions only an outbreak of mul-
titude Of rivulets-then It must be
frankly admitted that the Federal
Government under our system Of
crime detection and judicial practice
will not be able to deal with the sit
uation. 1T will then inevitably be-
come chiefly the responsibility OF the
States and municipalities which alone
have facilities for dealing with minor
offenses against statutory law. and it
may even be said that il infractions
OF the law incident to the retail trade
in liquor should continue on the pres
ent scale nothing but a sweeping
change in public opinion can prevent
the effectual notification Of the ma
tional prohibition act. 1t is true that

Now on Serious Trial.
From the point of view of the Fed
eral Government. prohibition is now
on serious trial. The Government in
tends to make q huge effort to en-.
force the law. but there are no illu-
sions i'm administration circles as to
the difficulties. The attitude OF Wash
ineton on this subject may be gath
cred in substance from President Cool
idce's Memorial day address in which
he deprecated the philosophy of IF
the States will not the Nation must.
and insisted that what we need is
not fore Federal Government, but
better local government Underlying
this new policy OF decentralization is
the firm purpose to make the people
themselves bear the moral RESPONSE
bility for Government. Its philosophy
Is summed up in the Presidents :
aphorism: II we are too weak to take
charge OF our own morality we shall
not be strong enough to take charge
of our own liberty.
This much may be said with a
good deal OF assurance. In so Tar as
the enforcement Of the prohibition law
proves to be problem of large scale
viola ations-that is to say, in so far as

that the new regime has the full ap-
proval and support of the Secretary
or the Treasury and the commissioner
OF internal revenue. Without such
approval the plan could not have been
put into effect. The authority of the
new Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury is not statutory, but is a matter
of administrative policy. Whatever
their past delinquenc;es, the Treasury
officials are entitled to full co-opera.
ton in their present efforts and to
credit for serious intention to en-
force the law.
Under Three Presidents.
1T Is perhaps only fair TO add that
the question Of administrative respon.
Sibilitv has been complicated by the
fact that our experience of national
prohibition, brief as 1t has been. has
included portions of the administra
tions of three Presidents. Mr.. Wilson
was not able to give any attention to
its enforcement. Mr.. Harding, until
near the end of his life. was apparent
ly disposed to handle prohibition mat
ters personally. while at the same
time contentins himself with the pol
icy worked out by the Prohibition
Unit. Such a course inevitably en-
courased 'hands-off' attitude on the
part of the responsible Treasury Off
cials. 1t has remained for the pres
ent administration to develop strong
policy which, however tardy it may
be. inspires new hope
The essential features OF the new
plan are as follows: Instead OF two
fairly distinct enforcement organiza-
tions there is now one. Hitherto,
there has been a force of agents or
ganized under State directors known
as Federal prohibition directors and
a force Of general agents, sometimes
referred to as the mobile force or
ganiZed under divisional chiefs who
supervise the work in wider areas.
There has been no clear distinction
between the functions Of these two
forces. The mobile force has, of
been counted on to make cases
where Colusion is suspected involving
the local agents. But the system has
not worked smoothly and has occa-
stoned much friction because OF over
la piping functions and responsibilities.
The new plan puts all agents under
"a prohibition administrators whose
areas conform closely to Federal judi
cial districts. This will not only SIM
plify administration but will facilitate
co-opera ton with the Department of
y uStlte lIlIbuEiI the several uIStEtt at
torneys. Such cooperation is mani
festly essential
Further. the new plan is based upon
decentralization of responsibility,
whereas the former plan centralized
responsibility very largely at Wash
ington. Every administrator is to have
a free hand in the enforcement both
of the penal and the permissive fea-
lures of the law. and will be held
strictly accountable for results. A dis.
tinctive feature of Gen. Andrews ad-
ton will be the assistance and
stimulus given to local enforcement.
The collection of liquor taxes will. as
heretofore, be directly under the col
Lectors OF internal revenue, but law
will be in the hands Of

the change has been wholesome. The

not mandatory, however. but only per-

The three have been in Jail since.
The defense attorneys, who in
clude Eph Inman, widely known In

Holmes, Indianapolis attorney, and
the Noblesville law firm of Christian

fight to show the dying statement
is not admissible in evidence, as not
the words of Miss Oberholtzer; that
she was not in her right mind when
making her statements; that Steph.

and a frame-up; that under the law
the three are not guilty of murder;
that they did offer her medical aid,
it is thought.
Stephenson has never admitted,
during all the numerous hearings,
that he even knew the victim.
Whether he will attempt to prove an
alibi is a matter Of conjecture only,
as his attorneys have heretofore con.
tented themselves with merely par
rying the States thrusts in the hear

defense.
