You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, yfcur hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and lux uriant. You will also discover dan druff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, Is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive ap pearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger.—Advertisement.

Unionists Are Prepared For All Eventualities By Associated Press Belfast, Ireland, March 23. —The capital of Ulster In which are the headquarters of the provisional gov i ernment of the province is to-day perhaps the least excited city outward ly in the United Kingdom. No more troops have arrived here and none are expected. The residents look to Lon don and the Curragh Camp for their news. The statement issued by Premier Asqulth last night declaring that the movements of troops were of a pure ly precautionary character has not weakened the determination of the Unionists to be prepared for all eventualities. When Sir Edward Car son, the leader of the Ulstermen, read It to-day he remarked: "The statement simply represents the position the prime minister has been driven to take. The government has put itself in a ludicrous position, but its action makes no difference to us. We are proceeding steadily with our preparations and organization."

The dreadnaught Oklahoma launched to day from the yard of the New York Shipbuilding Company at Camden, N. J., Is one of the largest and most pow erful battleships that has yet been floated for the American navy. A sis ter ship, the Nevada, is under con struction at Quincy. Mass. Only the Pennsylvania, building at Newport News and the still nameless battleship No. 39, the keel of which was laid last week at the New York navy yard, will I outstrip the Oklahoma In tonnage, displacement, length or the power of her great guns. I The length of the new giant sea fighter is 583 feet and her displace ment will be 27,500 tons, or 500 tons greater than the largest American fighting ship now afloat. In both armament and armor the j Oklahoma will be far ahead of pres ent American ships. Her principal weapons will be ten 11-inch guns, cap able of firing shell weighing 1400 pounds. A feature of the armament will be the placing of three of these great guns in one turret. One of the three-gun turrets wll be on the fore castle deck along with a turret of two big guns. Another two-gun turret will be on the quarter deck and astern of this will be another turret with the remaining three 14-inch guns. Smaller Pieces on Hoard. I About the big warship will also be distributed twenty-one 5-inc.h guns and some minor armament, consisting of 3-pounders, 1 -pounders, 3-lnch Held pieces and machine guns. The armor belt is especially heavy. It Is 13% inches thick and will extend 400 feet along each side of the hull from 8 % feet below the water line to 9 feet above the water. There are two protective decks to guard against plunging lire, one three Inches thick and the. other of 1 % inches. The Oklahoma will burn oil and her I engines will have 24,800 indicated horsepower, sufficient to develop a I speed of 20% knots an hour. The sup ply of oil fuel will be carried in the , double bottom of the ship which [ eliminates the necessity of coal j bunkers. I The gift of the state of Oklahoma I to her lighting namesake is a splon j did silver service. ■COMMITTEES IN BEL CIMPEN [Continued from First I'age] Hennethum, John A. Affleck, Harris burg.

Bishop Talks On Appointments The session opened this morning promptly at 9 o'clock with the bishop in the chair and directing the devo tional Bervice. in a few moments' ad dress the bishop made his statements with regard to the difficulties attend ing the making of the appointments. He said, among other things, that the difficulties would be lessened if he had a few more fifteen hundred, or even twelve hundred dollar, appointments, and if the laymen would only let up with their demands for certain men. He urged the preachers to be consid erate of one another and all of them to pray for the cabinet.

Bishop Preaches Strong .Sermon Law, as interpreted by St Paul in the seventh chapter of his epistle to the Romans, was the theme of a schol arly and searching sermon by Bishop Cranston yesterday morning in Grace •Methodist Church, defining justice as the love of God going out in the in- ' terests of all of his creatures and truth ' as God's love going out in intelligence to all human beings. Law, he said, i is conformity. Some of his most sen tentious remarks were these; Brotherhood is essential to twentieth century preferment. No man has any right to drag down i the ideals of the Godhead to the low I levels of man as Is done sometimes by artists and politicians. Perfect manhood can be realized • only in the Godhead.
