TURN HAIR DARK
W|lH SAGE TFA
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkerrs so Natural-ly Nobody can Tell
The old time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is' grand- mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good. even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth- ful appearance is- of the greatest ad- vantage
Nowa_day's', though, we don`t have
the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,`improved by the addition of other ingredients-callefi “\V_vtlr‘3 Sage and Sulphur Compound." it is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten. your comb or a soft brush with it ami draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; b_v morn- ing the gray hair dis--‘rppcars but what trciir-:his the ladies with Wyeth s S.rgf; and Sulphur <‘ompnunri. is that, hc- sidef; iicarrtifrrily darkening the hair after a fr-w applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appcuruncc of abundance which is so .sttrr-ctivl-.. This ready-to-usa preparation is a do- lightlul toillet requisite for those who desire a. more youthful appearance. it is not intended for the cure, mitiga- tion or prevention of disease.

There is only our outstanding question,--| "("onscription," and would those who oppose conscriptiori by voting for i.aurier, stnltify themselves by vot-Q ing for it immediately at`tcr\vards'.' The thing is incredible. _ilcrrierrrl>cr', l am not ofi'cring you my own views*-they may’ be worth nothing. l am giving the deliberate opinion of thc leaders of the govern-A mont. and (‘arvell is more emphatic' in this matter than Sir Robert is. ‘.\'c are told positively by the Premi- er, and the military authorities in Canada and in England, that it is imperative to have large reinforce- ments for the Canadian troops as' soon as possible if we are to main- tain our position as one of the belli- gerents. The fact that there are large numbers oi` Canadians still in Eng- land, is nr, evidence that more are not needed. With the present scarc- lty_ot` food in the M-other Country would they call for 20.000 more mcn at once. who would have to he fed. if-they were not really required?
Yet in the face ot’ such -evidence.
those who are opposed to conscrip- tion declare therc is no immediate need for more men overseas. Think of the nrrrcasonableness of such a contention! Whatever may' be the faults and failings of Sir Robert Bor 'icn_ no one can call him a fool. Is 't likcly that just as his government's term nf office was expiring, he would risk the intzrodtrction of such an un-' popular rneasurohs conscription, if he had not been convinced during his visit to England, that it was. neces- sary? is it likely that the leading men of thc Opposition throughout the length and bredth of the Dominion would feel it their duty to withdraw their allegiance from their own popu- lar leader, and th=row in their lot with the Premier, if they did not feel that loyalty to the Empire, was above all
party consideration?
Why? A united Liberal Party could
without doubt. have defeated thg gov- ernment at the election, if they could have mad'e it plain that reinforce- ments were not necessary, or. that they could be secured without con -_ scr-ipiion. lint thank God, thc-se men were above party politics. All honor to them. And they realized that the
only loyal. tire only noble action out their part. was to unite with their erstwhile opponents. and so save (‘an- ada from hanging her head in airtime. after nil her former splendid nciiieve-
ments.

Let us make no mistake. Let us
not console ourselves with the thought that no matter which side Wins. things will "carry on" as usual. This will not be. if Laurier wins, his party

French element of Quebec, and we know its sentiments, so different to those of the loyal Acadians here. It will have the support (whether it de- serves it or not) of the Nationalista, who declare plainly that "Canada has done enough for the war"-and these would probably hold the balance of power. and so could' force their views,on others. »
Some of the Opposition candidates
have Dl`0llliBed with ruore or less re- serve, to support the war measures of the Union Government. While they
,might do this with thc Unionists in
power, is it likely they would if Laurier were at the head of-the gov- ernment? Think of the position they would be in! The government ,with a small majority nominated by the French. brings in a measure to stop conscrlption, or to withdraw from fur-
ther support in the war. Would these

And if it were a straight party con- test there would be nothing to choose between them; but when the leaders of that party, almost to a man,--when the important newspapers of that par'l.y‘ realize that they must combine with their political opponents to win the war, then the Quebec remnant of the Liberals, with its fringe of Eng- lish-spcaking members from the oth- or provinces, and its Nationalist sup- porters and its Sinn Fein supporters. and its -pro-German supporters, can no longer be recognized as His Maj- csiy’s loyal Opposition.
