Speaker Clark s speech in acknowl edgment of his renomination dealt with the party's programme and fu ture. He urged the carrying out of the party promises and said the only way to achieve this was for every Democrat in official position "to give the best there is in him and subordinate individual ambition to the public weal. It Is a thing Incredible," he said, "that any man fit for official station would let his personal likes or dis likes interfere with his co-operating with any -other Democrat in unifying the party in Its herculean and multi farious tasks to redeem our pledges." This utterance was cheered. Masqneradlng Democrat Assailed. "The suggestion of any such state of affairs comes from faint - hearted Democrats who are forever seeking ghosts," the speaker continued, "or from malignant marplots who, though masquerading as Democrats, are not Democrats at all, but wolves in sheep's clothing. Certain of these venomous eleventh-hour Democrats are loud-mouthed in proclaiming trouble where none exists, and in laying down a rule of conduct forreal Democrats. "Genuine Democrats, who have the good of the party and the country at heart would do well to give no heed to these self-styled Democrats, whose ! chief business is to stir up strife by foully- slandering any Democrat who has earned their enmity by being a Democrat at all times, under all cir cumstances and at all places." The Speaker said the House Demo crats had been together since March 19, 1910. "when for the first time in 17 years the Democrats in the House electrified the country by voting to gether not a man missing in a great struggle. PartT on Probation. "I predict that in the Sixty-third Congress they will act in unison, not only with themselves, but with Presi dent Wilson." Speaker Clark declared that on the conduct of the new House depended in a large measure the prosperity of the country and the success of the Demo cratio party. - "The voters," said the Speaker, "have only placed us on probation, which is clearly demonstrated by the unpleasant arithmetical fact that in November we lacked 2,000,000 of votes of coming through with a. majority. Can we vin dicate the vast army of voters who gave us the power to conduct the Gov ernment? Undoubtedly we can. If we fail to do this, the people will under stand it and punish us, and our second condition will be worst than our first" The Democratic caucus authorized Senator Kern to appoint a committee of nine to devise a plan for the reorgani zation of the Senate committees, with the understanding that he should pre sent his list to the caucus at a meet ing tomorrow. Senator Tillman expressed a prefer ence for the chairmanship of the com mittee on appropriations and said he had requested the advice of President Wilson as to the chairmanship That he should choose and that the President had urged his selection as chairman of the committee on appropriations. President Wilson, he said, was heartily for economy. BOX FACTORY IS BURNED Raymond' Company Sufers $20,0-00 Ijoss; No Insurance. - RAYMOND, vWash., March 5. (Spe cial.)

GETTING GRAY RESTOR ?. E UE SAGE NATURAL TEA TO COLOR OF HAIR Says Sage and Sulphur Dark ens Hair Beautifully and Ends Dandruff. Hair that loses its color and luBtre, or when It fades, turns' gray, dull and lifeless la caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair, says a well-known local pharmacist. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Base Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful and even today this simple preparation has no equal. Millions of women and men, too, who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive us only Sage Tea and Sulphur. Nowadays we are net bothered with the tack of rather! ns tha sagre leaves and the mussy mixing at home. Sim ply ask at any drug store for a 60 cent bottle of the ready-to-use prepa ration, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Hair Remedy." Customers ilka this best because it darkens so natur ally; bo evenly, that nobody can possi bly tell It has been applied. Besides, it contains ingredients which take off dandruff, stop scalp itching and fall ing hair. No, it isn't a dye or even like it. Tou just dampen a sponge or soft brush with "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur" and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disap pears; after another application or two it is restored to its natural color. What delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that besides beau tifully darkening the hair they say It brings back tne gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
