FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY Hi NOW Druggist Says Ladies are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur* Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lacK of sulphur in the hair. Our grand mother made up a mixture of Sage Tea anrl Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousan'ds of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is EO attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other Ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur Com pound," which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. 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 the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. Wyeth's Sage hnd Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful ap pearance to the hair.

ARMY • A HKZi * ' RAIDS IN WOEVRE CAUSE NEW ALARM [Continued from First Page.] Rector, General Pershing's men pen etrated to the second German line in a raid Tuesday. Casualties were in flicted on the enemy by shell and rifle fire. The raids In this sector began Saturday and probably are In an swer to German activities which had indicated the enemy was preparing for ft movement against the Ameri can lines. The artillery activity on this sector has been most intense, the American gunners causing fires and explosions behind the enemy lines. The American troops east of Luneville in Lorraine, which places them very near the Franco-German border, went into the German po sitions Monday and found that the enemy had not yet returned to the trenches he evacuated the day be fore. Despite German artillery fire against them the raiders came back to their own lines without a casu alty. On the line between Armentieres i and T.a Bassee, which has not j changed in eighteen months, the Ger- i mans continue their powerful raids. Their latest effort was made against Portuguese positions near Baventle. The Germans were checked by ma- . chine gun fire which caused heavy casualties and left prisoners in the hands of the Portuguese. British troops repulsed small raids in the Ypres area, where the enemy ar tillery fire is intense. On the French front the bombardment has been most violent in Champagne, especi ally east of Rheims. In aerial fighting French and I, British machines have accounted for j ] twenty-one enemy airplanes, while j French gunners have destroyed three | others. In addition to attacking mil- j itnry targets close behind the Ger man lines, British airmen have bombed the city of Coblenz, on the Rhine, in daylight. A ton of bombs j was dropped, causing two fires and a violent explosion. Bombardment Violent in Champagne Region; U. S. Raid Successful By Assccmte.i Press Paris. Tuesday, March 12.—Follow- | ing is the text of the communica tion issued by the French War Of fice to-night: In the Argonne and in the Vosges the artilleiy fire was intermittent. The bombardment was violent in the Champagne, especially in the region ; of the Monts. "In the Woeyre an American de- j trchment carried out with success a i raid into tile German trenches south of Richecourt. "Aviation: On March 11 three i German machines were destroyed by | our pilots and a fourth was damaged j severely. During the night of j March 11-12 three enemy bombing] airplanes were brought down by the i fire of our anti-aircraft guns." LORRAINE SECTOR BECOMES ACTIVE [Continued from First Pago.] ing thousands of shells daily against' the German positions, making it vir-! tually impossible for the enemy to| occupy them. Investigation shows they have been virtually abandon-! ed. This is especially true in th j , neighborhood of certain places] northwest and northeast of Badon viller where, it now is permissible I i to say, the two ruids mentioned as having been carried out simultane ously took place. Certain information obtained in the American sector northwest of Toul leads to> the conclusion that the American raid there this morn j ing came at such a tiifte as to cause j the Germans to abandon plans of i their own for a raid. Normal ar tillery fighting continues in this sec tor, shells falling on towns on both I sides of the line. At one place tlioj Germans 'used mustard shells. A! small number of Americans walked! through the gas later. Find Camouflage Suit Last night an American patrol! brought in an enemy sniper's cam-| ouflage suit, made of woven brown ish colored grass, the same shade as) the landscape. There was the usua'l I work of patrols in No Man' Bandj during the night, but no encounters j have been reported. Conditions were excellent to-day I for flying, and many hostile and] friendly planes were in the air. In i virtually every allied plane there I was an American observer. Oncp or! twice the Americans went close enough to the Germans to try their machine guns, but without result.j One plane in which there was anj American went far back of tho cn 'emy lines. It was the target for hundreds of enemy shells, which! seemed to burst all around it. On | returning, the American admitted j they seemed pretty thick, but he wasj unharmed. Creel Protests Against Withholding Addresses By Associated Press Washington, March 13. —Chairman] George Creel, of the Committee on Public information, sent a written protest to-day to President Wilson against jthe War Department's new policy m withholding the addresses of soldfers in giving out casualty lists.

Tugs Come to Assistance of Steamer Kershaw as Vessel Grounds on Bar By Associated Press An Atlantic Port, March 13. The passenger steamship Kershaw, with 151 persons aboard, of whom 121 are passengers, went aground in a heavy fog at midnight on the coast east of this port and at noon to-day was in a position not considered dangerous, about a mile olt shore and inside a sand bar. The vessel. 1,768 tons, gross, Is owned by the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company, and was bound to a New England port from a Middle Atlantic port. Coast guards shot a line over the vessel, but as the sea was calm and the weather moderate, it was decided not to undertake to remove passen gers pending efforts to float the ship, which apparently is undamaged. Tugs have been sent to her assistance and it was thought she might resume her voyage late to-day. t'OMMITTEE FAILS TO ililtlOK, ON OVKIL.MAM 1111,1, By Associated Press Washington, March 13. Another attempt to get the Senate Judiciary Committee in agreement on the Over ni.an bill to empower the President to consolidate and co-ordinate execu tive departments, failed to-day, and the meeting broke up in a deadlock. Chairman Overman announced ho would attempt to force a vote Fri day. Senator Chamberlain, sponsor of the war cabinet and munitions direetor bills, probably will not oppose it, and was said to favor giving the President even greater powers than the bill proposes. ttfs LIVINGSTON'S Hz Thr., fri. t S * r and 9 SOUTH MARKET SOUABE O Li Z.

I Rush Plans For Building Big Ordnance Depot on the Middletown Site Pennsylvania railroad track con st luction forces are awaiting orders to proceed with the building of track spurs connecting the Keystone Fair plot near Middletown with the main line. One track is already complet ed, this work having been done some time ago to permit the delivery of lumber. The railroad company will not build the tracks needed for the Ordnance Department, this work be ing a part of the contract of the James Black Masonry and Construc tion Company, of St. Louis. The rail road work is simply to connect the grounds with the necessary switches and signals, according to reports. It is also understood that the Beth lehem Steel Company and the Penn sylvania Railroad Company will fur nish cinder for filling in. This re port was not officially confirmed. It was rumored that if the United States Government needs the cinder, trains will be run at intervals to Middletown to haul the cinder and that similar plans will be carried out on the New Cumberland side when work starts on the quartermaster's depot, S.MOKK TAKE*' Ft)II KIRK An alarm from Box 213 at noon to day brought a number of fire com panies to the home of Mrs. Mark Meyers, Peffer and Sixth streets.

MARCH 13, 1918 21 Republicans Subscribe •to New Monroe Doctrine, Says Dr. Alex. Alvares By Associated Vress. I ..os Angeles, Cal., March 13. Twenty-one republics of the Western Hemisphere will subscribe to a new Monroe Doctrine, embracing the cardinal principles already estab lished and adding additional tenets, according to a statement by Dr. Alejandro Alvares, secretary-general of the Institute of international Law and permanent member of the Court of Administration at The Hague, who addressed students of a law college hej-e last night. The now principles, Dr. Alvares said, will prevent the cession of any territory in the Western Hemisphere as a war indemnity by any European power and will prevent the acquisi tion of such territory by any Euro pean power for any purpose by any method. i This new doctrine was based on i the interpretation of President Wil son's war message of last August as I interpreted by the American Insti tute of nlternational Law, he said. f Pure Chewing Gum $ a Stick a day k ee P s ffll§B^ the Soldiers , homesickness away Waterways Commission Increased; Plan Use of Canals to Move Coal Washington, March IS.
