IRISH PROBLEM
TO BE DETAILED
BY LLOYD GEORGE
British Premier to Explain
Government's Position on
Home Rule For Erin
By Associated Press
I.ondon, March 7.—The prospect that
Lloyd George would take part in to
day's debate in the lfouse of Com
mons oil the Irish question and out
line the government's position toward
Ireland, aroused deep interest in the
proceedings. The debate hinges on a
rsolution which will be moved by T.
P. O'Connor on behalf of tho National
ists. The resolution reads as follows:
"That, with a view to strengthen
ing the hands of the allies in achieving
recognition of equal rights for small
nations and the principle of national
ity against the opposite German princi
ple of military domination and gov
ernment without the consent of the
governed, it is essential without furth
er delay to confer upon Ireland the
free institutions long promised to her."
It is expected that an amendment
recording the desire of the House for
settlement without coercion of any
section of Irish opinion will be moved
from the government benches and
adopted as the official view. John Red
rnond, who lias been ill, hoped to be
well enough to speak and Sir John
Lonsdale was prepared to explain the
views of tho Irish Unionists. 1
LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmot'
time. She used it to keep hei
beautifully dark, glossy and attr;
Whenever her hair took on tha.
faded or streaked appearance, i...j
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and i
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of j
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you will get this famous old |
preparation, improved by the addition I
of other ingredients, which can be \
depended upon to restore natural !
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist l
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a |
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one'
•strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap- |
plication or two, it becomes beauti- i
fully dark and giosdy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. .

Remarkable Recovery of Elmer Bcanl
Astonishes His Many
Acquaintances
TAN LAC BENEFITS 11IM
Those who knew Elmer Beard as he
was only a few short weens ago are
astoim-hed at the marvelous change
that has come over him.
From a worn out, miserable, physi
cal wreck he has changed almost over
night into the picture of health, and
the story of his recovery is well nigh
unbelievable.
"For 15 years," said Mr. Beard
when seen at his home, 235 Lehman
street, Lebanon, Pa., "I suffered inde
scribable torments from indigestion
and stomach trouble. I was run down
and tired all the time and I couldn't
eat enough to keep up my strength
for no matter how simple the food my
stomach could not digest it and 1
would be filled with gas, causing me to
suffer severe pain and almost unendur
able misery.
"I tried every medicine f ever heard
of without being able to get any re
lief and my trouble got so bad of late
years that I was often confined to my
bed under tho doctor's care, but I only
got worse Instead of better.
"Finally, after reading so much
about Tanlac, I began taking it and
from that day my recovery has been
rapid until to-day, to look at me, you
would not think I had ever had a sick
day in my life.
"I am stronger and more energetic;
I am sleeping (lno and .1 have a splen
did appetite and can eat heartily of
anything on the table.
"I heartily recommend Tanlac and
my many friends here In Lebanon will
vouch for the great good that it has
done me."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic is now being introduced here at
Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac
man is meeting the people and ex
plaining the merits of this master
medicine.

Shank and Annie E. Shank, brother

of each other, has revealed gold, sil

The elderly brother and sister had

far as ten miles away from their
home. The brother died the day
after the sister's funeral, and their
nearest relatives, two cousins, then
searched the house. The first tiling
they came upon was $650 in gold, then
$350 in silver, and finally the remain
der in notes and bank certificates.

It is high time we Americans ara
facing the serious problems that con
front each one of us. It matters not/
whether your wages are $lO a week or
SIOOO a week. Though our beloved
country is not at war with arms, the
fact is we are paying the war bills—
and so long as that war lasts the prlco
of butter you eat and bread you spread
it on, the clothes you wear to keep
you warm and shoes to protect your
feet are going to be high In price, and
the longer it lasts the higher every
thing you eat and wear will go. So
the only one thing is left for us to do
is to do just what they In Europe
have been compelled to do, is to cut
out extravagance in eating and in
dress. It can't last long, people
starving in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago and we in Ilarrisbuvg
living on top of the pile. It will
sooner or later reach to our doors in
Harrisburg.
The tremendous wastes all over the
world, the extravagances of our Am
erican habit of living on seemingly
war prosperity Is bound to cause
scarcity and higher prices.
As a Shoe Merchant I see this. Pay
ing a week's wages for a pair of fancy
shoes that have not the wearing quali
ties of a good neat black shoe that
costs one-fourth as much is money
thrown away that we will sadly need
for butter, eggs, bread and meat.
As sellers of Shoes, we sell what
the people want, of course, but It
makes me sick at heart to have to buy
and sell a pair of shoes for $5 or $6
that have not $2 worth of wear in
them.
To-day we are selling one-lialC our
shoes for less than it costs to malce
them, yet we will not advance a price
until our stock of over 200,000 fairs
are sold and we are compelled to go
into the open market and pay more
than we are selling the same shoes for
to-day.
I beseech you, spender of money, to
pause and give serious thought to
what you buy, as to whether it's the
best you can get for wear and service,
whether you buy In any one of our
25 stores or outside.
