Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture improved by the addition of other Ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth”s Sage 1nd Sulphur Compound,” which dark- ens the hair so maturaily, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been appled. You just dampen a wponge or soft brush with it and draw this through 'your hair taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray- hair disappears; but what . lelights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that be- sides beautifully darkening the hair ifter a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. ‘Wyeth's Sage and Surphpr Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite lo impart color and a youthful ap- pearance to the hair.

As the resolution, which passed the senate in August, was slightly amenided before being brought before the house, the resolution goes back to the senate for concurrence before it can be submitted to the states for ratification. Senator Shep- pard will request today unanimous consent to take up the amended reso- lution. If the senate concurs In the changes made in the house the reso- lution will then be submitted to the state legisiatures and adopt the proposed amendment to. make it a part of the constitution. Leaders of the prohibition forces are jubilantly claiming victory before the state legislatures. Willlam Jen- nings Bryan, who heard the debate today from the press gallery, predict- ed that the nation would be dry in three years and that the liquor ques- tion would not figure in the national election in 1920. Twenty-eight states have prohibi- tion or have enacted laws making their territory ‘dry. If these states and eight others adopt the proposed amendment in the seven years, al- lowed by the resolution for state ar- tion the manufacture, sale, and im- portation of liquor in the United States will be prohibtted. The action of the last session of Congress in prohibiting the manufac- ture of whisky during the war, and in passing a law making the District of Columbia dry, is regarded as an in- dex of Increasing sentiment in favor of prohibition. The. resolution as adopted by the House reads thus: Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, (two-thirds of each house concurring therein). That the following amend- ment to the Constitution be, and here- by is proposed to the senate, to be- come valid as a part of the consti- tution when ratified by the legisla- tures of the several states as provided by the constitution: ARTICLE —, Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manu- facture, sale, or transportation of in- toxidating liquors within, the importa- tion thereof into or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is here- by ‘prohibited. Section 2. The Cangress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by propriate legislation. Section 3. This article shall be in- operative unless it shall have - been ratified as an amendment to the Con- stitution by the legislatures of the several states as provided in the con- stitution within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the Congress. As passed by the senate, the resolu- tion made no concession to the dis- tillers, brewers, and retailers, merely providing that prohibition should be- come operative upon ratification. It also allowed only six years for rati- fication. ap- Galleries Packed. . The galleries were filled long before 11:30 when the resolution was-brought before the house. While great in-' terest was manifested in the proceed- ing by the temperance advocates in the galleries, there was little excite- ment on the floor. The opposition, appreciation the outcome, waged a perfunctory fight, and the proponents contented themselves with fully pre- senting obvious arguments. More than forty speeches were made, but the house itself lost interest in the struggle. The dry forces lost heavily over early claims, and although there was never any doubt as to the result the fina]l vote showed that they had only eight more votes than the necessary two-thirds. An amendment offered by Repre- sentative Lea of California providing that the prohibition provision should not apply to light wines and beer was rejected by & rising vote of 232 to 107, ‘The gallery crowd refratned from demonstration until the voterwas an- nounced and then broke into pro- longed applause in which the advo- cates of the resolution on the floor Joined. Ex-Secretary Bryan, who has made prohibition one of his issues, went on the house floor and took a seat with Representative Webb as co-recipient of congratulations. 2 The five Connecticut members, Lonergan, Tilson, Freeman, Merritt and Glynn, all voted against the reso- lution.

We believe that the people of this country will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar supply when they know the facts. These facts are as follows: More than two-thirds of the source of Europe’s sugar supply is within the present battle lines. This has resulted in greatly reducing the production of sugar in Europe. England and France and other countries have been forced to go for sugar to Cuba. Ordinarily, nearly all of the Cuban raw sugar comes to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for home use. This is not the case now. In view of the exceptional world demand for sugar there is no surplus, and barely enough to tide us over until the new crop comes in. The people of the New England and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly. This Company has no surplus sugar to sell. No one should hoard or waste it. It is working with the Government to conserve the supply, and to take care of the Allies so far as possible. Do not pay an increased retail price.
