EDISON WORKING
ON U-BOAT FOE
Inventor Co-operating With
Allied Experts on Subma
rine Destroyers
Washington—With respect to the
statement made In lAindon by Lord
Beresford that a brilliant plan had
been devised to overcome the in
creasing havoc of the German sub
marines it is generally assumed in
naval circles that the British ad
_ i .iralty expert referred to a device
•which has as its object detecting the
preseice of submarines.
This device, which has already
been referred to by Admiral De
I'nair. who is here with the British
commission, is understood to have
given very satisfactory results In re
st ructed harbor waters. It is assum
ed that It has now been made work
able on a comprehensive and un
limited scale. French scientific ex
perts and Thomas A. Edison and a
score or more of the best navy ex
perts have been devoting their time
exclusively to perfecting the plan.
Mr. Edisonw is collaborating with
experts of the British admiralty.
Admiral De Chair's reference to
the plan was general and gave no
details. American naval experts who
hav heard of various phases of the
plan understand that it is based on
a scheme which registers on a meter
on shore the passage of a U-boat or
other steel mass through mapped
out areas on the water.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
>•'■-■ne Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and
i .-oublesome. For 50 cents you can
buy at and drug store the ready-to
use preparation, improved by the
. ddition of other Ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-
Jjiund." You just dampen a sponge
soft brush with it and draw this
through you hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age. and as
we all desire a youthful and attrac
tive appearance, get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
''onipound and look years younger.
This ready-to-use preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite and not a
medicine. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.
HOT WATER THE
BEST LIVER AND
BOWEL MEDICINE
Says glass of hot water before
breakfast washes poisons
from system.
Physicians the world over recom
mend the inside bath, claiming this
is of vastly more importance than
outside cleanliness, because the skin
jiores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing ill health, while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to
drink each morning, before break
fast a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
i'i it, as a harmless means of help
in? to wash from the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels the previous
day's indigestible material, poisons,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
find freshen the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
eliminative organs.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
huve a dull, aching head, sallow
complexion, acid stomach; others
who are subject to bilious attacks or
constipation, should obtain a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the
drug store. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value of inside bathing. Those who
continue it each morning are assured
of pronounced results, both in re
gard to health and appearance.

Wiconisco Miners
Have Flagraising
With 1,500 Present
Wiconisco, May 9.—The men of
the Short Mountain Colliery of the
Susquehanna Coal Company had a
flagraising last night that drew
many people from surrounding
towns. A featuro of the celebration
was the reading by superintendent
David J. Rendell, of a voluntary
pledge on the part of the local min
ers' union to do its best to keep up
maximum production at the mine
during the war period. The miners
also added a novel number to the
occasion by sending off a salute of
21 explosions from the top of a
nearby culm bank.
The addresses were also made by
Morgan Edwards, a young miner
whose eloquence will In all likeli
hood carry him far from the mines
if he chooses to cultivate it, and by
Charles E. Pass, of Harrisburg-, who
was present by special invitation.
The flag was run up by David A.
Rendell, son of the superintendent.
More than 1500 people attended.
French Commission Is
Pleased With Reception
Throhghout United States
By Associated Press
With the French War Mission,
May 9. The voice of the Middle
West, united as never before, has
spoken to France's war mission in
terms unmistakable, a message of
defiance to Germany and her allies,
industrial, agricultural and tinancial
millions of the vast Mississippi, Mis
souri and Ohio valleys that their en
tire resources stand behind President I
Wilson and the nation in the fight for
liberty, freedom and humanity as
the ally of America's sister republic,
France, and her companion nations
in the world war.
M. Viviani, the chairman of the
mission, speaking of the trip, said
this:
"We have been surprised and de
lighted at our generous welcome in
the Middle West. The expressions
of cordial friendship that were every
where extended to us was remark
able. That every member of the
communities of whatever race should
have shown so deep a sympathy with
the cause of France, deeply gratified
us. Indeed the visit to St. Louis,
Kansas City and Chicago and the
trip through Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri has been a revelation to us.
For by direct contact with things
alone can we realize what they really
are and in spite of all t we have read
and heard of the Immense facilities
of the organizing power of America
we found our conceptions surpassed
on this visit.
V. S. Great Granary
"\\ e realize that the West and
Middle West of the United States is
the granary not only of the United
States, but of the whole world. The
unlimited part that territory should
play in planting larger crops might
win the war. After seeing the splen
did men. women and children of the
Middle West, we feel no uneasiness
about what they will do in this war.
As to their willingness, the reception
accorded us everywhere we went
makes us feel sure that the spirit of
doing the work was there as well as
the means of doing It."
Marshal J off re, when asked his im
pressions said:
"I am a soldier and a man of few
words, but even the most taciturn
must speak -when they are greeted
with sights supH as greeted us in
the Middle AVost. The absolutely
