BEAUTY SPECIALIST TELLS SECRET A Beauty Specialist Gives Simple Home Mado Recipe to Darken Gray llair Sirs. M, D. Gillespie, a well-known beauty specialist of Kansas City, re cently gave out the following state ment regarding gray hair: Any qne can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make |it soft and glossy. To a half pint of I water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a i small box of Barbo Compound and I % ounce of glycerine. These Ingre dients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost, or the drug gist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. This is not a dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off." FEW FOLKS GRAY JAIR 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 and Sulphifr to keep her locks dark and beautiful, und thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shude of hair which is so attracUve, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get "this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by acting at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage 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 AVyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a tew applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is ar delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful ap pearance to the hair. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. —Adv.

OCTOBER 31, 191& POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT POLITICAL ADVBRTISBIUBNt Test of Representative Worth Having Served all the People With Fidelity, Congressman Focnt Calls For the Support of all Parties Washington, D. C., Oct. 30, 1918. j To the Voters of the 17th Congressional District: The whole country is discussing the partisan action during this war time of'the President, who has called for the election of Democrats to Congress as the only fit men to support the Government now and during the vital reconstruction period. Fully concurring in the universal expressions of disapproval at this gross impropriety on the part of the Chief Executive, who should be President of the whole country and have faith in the patriotism of Republicans who have sup ported all war measures, and not descend to partisan ship when all the peolpe are helping win the war, no force or factor opposed to me can point to a single act while serving as your representative that will disclose other than the sacred discharge of my duty and help fulness to ALL THE PEOPLE of my district, I REGARDLESS OF POLITICS. Every man, woman and child, no matter of what creed, color or political adherence, has had FROMPT RESPONSE from me to EVERY CALL with the best results my extended legislative experience could produce. These responsive things I have done and will con tinue to do for ail who seek help or guidance in mat ters falling under my jurisdiction, although all well know, I AM AN AVOWED, DECLARED AND ' DEPENDABLE REPUBLICAN in my advocacy of protection and every economic principle that will safe- j guard our industries, the laboring men and women, and that will add to the encouragement of our great agri cultural enterprises. Notwithstanding the unworthy allusions made to me by my opponent on the Democratic ticket in his card of announcement, when he ascribed to me "MEAN PARTISANSHIP AND NARROWNESS OF SOUL," I would not stoop to anything so ignoble as making personal allusions to him. The issues now involved in the election of Congressmen this year reach far beyond the personal ambition of any indi vidual, and take in every hope within the heart of the soldier, the Patriotic Societies of which I am a member, the working man, the farmer and every branch of business and industry. Nevertheless, it might be timely, since we are sacri ficing so much for "world democracy" and "the consent of the governed," to suggest that my place on the Republican ticket was secured by an expression of the will of the people at the ballot box in a POPULAR PRIMARY ELECTION, and by a most decisive if not sweeping majority. On the other hand, the most worthy Democrat wljo was regularly nominated by the voters of his party of the 17th Congressional district, WAS FORCED TO WITHDRAW, and was sup planted by the Democrat now opposing me, who was "appointed" a candidate by a coterie of Democratic bosses and job holders headed by two of these holders of fat jobs, Palmer and McCormick, while not one of the twelve members of the committee making the appointment lives in the 17th Congressional district! Therefore, since the Democrats of the district had nothing to do with choosing the "appointee" they are now called upon to vote for, they would seem to be. under no obligation so far as party regularity is con cerned to support him, any more than Republicans j would be obligated to support me had I been a hand picked candidate by factional bosses residing outside of the district. The Democratic candidates for Congress can not find anything commendable, in my vote for war after the President had failed to "keep us out of war," and for one hundred and more measures in support of the • t Government during the war. He is such a warrior that one would have looked for him to have enlisted long before the war entered its last stages, but he con tinues to be long on war talk and short on enlistment. Our opposing friend is, however, quite a passionate volunteer for office, since he now holds one place with two years to serve, yet wants still another job just to show that Focht IS A PARTISAN WITH A NAR ROW SOUL." His attitude in avoiding our proposal that he enlist reminds me of the chap who was appar ently eager for a fist fight, but when things looked dangerous and friends remonstrated, he exclaimed with much heroism, "One of you will do to hold me, * but two of you had better hold the other fellow." My only son, Brown Focht, now 14 years of age, has writ ten me to get him into the aircraft division of the mili tary service, and if the war should continue a while longer, he might take my opponent's place, or possibly that of Vance McCormick, the editor of the Harris burg Patriot, another job holder and talking warrior who has not been seen rushing to the front. I am sure my boy would fight our enemies instead of black guarding his neighbors in an attempt to counterfeit his way into Congress on the war record of other boys and-the ludicrous plea that the only patriots in this country are Democrats. • • Having served you all FAITHFULLY AND TIRELESSLY throughout my incumbency here, and particularly during this great war period, with no question ever asked as to the POLITICS OF THE MANY I HELP EVERY DAY, I trust that on elec tion day, November sth, 1918, there may be a response from the voters of all parties that will be a reciprocal expression of confidence and good will WHICH I FEEL TOWARD ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE 17TH DISTRICT. I will have but little time to get out among she people this fall on account of so many demands upon me here in performing my official work, nor do I believe you expect me to pay any attention to the ELEVENTH HOUR DEFAMATORY AND UNTRUTHFUL circulars being put out against me by my oppqnent. This is a cheap, worn-out and effete ' method of campaigning, and never made a-vote when employed 50 years ago by the highbinders. You know me, you know my work for you and your friends, and you know what I look like, so you will not see my picture in conspicuous places, while out of respect for the dignity of the position you have given me, I must decline to engage in any mud-slinging with my oppon ent and the Democratic editors of the district, nearly all of whom hold Post Offices or other Government positions to the exclusion of many Democrats quite as worthy and capable but who were ignored by the Dem ocratic bosses. With the assurance that with your helpfulness MY DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE in Washington FOR ALL THE PEOPLE will continue unabated and unabridged, I am Faithfully youra, BENJAMIN K. FOCHT 11
