I The local board has practically
completed classification of Clarke’s
selectmen. Clerk Elmer Crawford an
nounced last night to a Banner re
porter, and the work of making final
examination of the registrants under
the new regulations promulgated by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
will begin Saturday, when the first
dtvlson of Class One men will appear
before the board.
Notices to appear for this examlna- j
tlon were sent out Monday, followed-
by another division each week, and :
the remainder of Clarke's quota un
der the first call will bo selected ;
from men In Class 1. The local board
Is still due under this call 109 men j
and these will be forwarded on the
next call, out of this class. J
Board Gets New Regulations.
Mr. Crawford. stated -that bis board
was In receipt of the new regula
tions governing the examination of
registrants, and would begin at once
to comply with them. The require
ments are less rigid from a physical
standpoint, so it Is stated, as 'men
who do not -measure up to the high
standard set for the fighting forces
are needed in non-combatlve branch
es of the service, and will be placed
ft ere when: passed upon finally.
Excellent Work of Board.
The local board has done good
work, not only In classification, but
in successfully answering every call
for men made upon it to date.
Though nothing ofilclal has been re
ceived by the board as to when an
other call will come, It Is expected
that more men will be asked for In a
short time.

\\%en- yOu darken your hhlr with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
fell, because It’s done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home, is mussy and trouble-
rome. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other Ingredients called “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound." 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 all gray hair dis
appears, and, after another applica
tion or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully 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 attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready-
to-use preparation Is a delightful toil
et requisite and not a medicine.
