It was evident that many lads were sorry that they had asked for exemption, owing somewhat to the ehafflng they receive from the people of their home town. Many requests had been re ceived to have certificates of discharge revoked and now the Government has sanctioned this move. A system has been inaugurated to do away with discharges, so that the candidate can again go up for a hearing. This con dition reveals the fact that "dodging" service is a sad mistake, and the Gov ernment is only too willing to go half way in relieving the victims of ridi cule and censure.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply atk at any | drug store for "Wyeth's Sage end .Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe Improved by the addition of other ingredients at very little cost. Ev erybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as It does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, { thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requl- Isite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or nreventlon of disease. —Adv. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CITY PASSES ITS Y. M. C. A.

Stack pole .chairman of the territory com prising Dauphin and nine other coun ties, said: "Harrisburg has again gone 'over the top,' splendidly, but what else was to be expected of a community which has demonstrated its patriot ism in every way since the entrance of this country into the war? What has.been done here is likely to be duplicated in the other counties of the district. OUT reports already in hand indicate that in most cases the several counties will exceed their original apportionment and I have been mo'e than pleased with the line spirit which has characterized the whole campaign. Men, women and children have entered into the move ment with enthusiasm and many ex amples of self-sacrifice illustrate the conservation of the people to the great cause for which our men are r.ow lighting or preparing to fight. "Whatever indifference existed at the outbreak of the war is rapidly disappearing and all classes are re sponding to this and other appeals for proper support of the brave men who have rallied to the colors. This particular work of caring for those In the camps and at the front by pro viding proper recreation and some measure of the home atmosphere means much for the efficiency of the troops and may mean a greal deal more than many appreciate in the final victory of the American boys and those who are fighting with them. . "The sort of patriotism which never reaches the pocket amounts to little. Sacrifice means everything and the many instances of poor peo ple who have given generously to this cause shows how the hearts of the people have been touched by the personal testimony of husbands, sons and brothers now under arms. "I am glad to have had a part in tliis wonderful campaign and it has been a pleasure to have been associated in the work throughout the district with so many leaders among the men and women who realize the importance of the Y.
