GERMANY'S ESPIONAGE
EVERY VISITOR is UNDER THE
WATCH OF THE POLICE.
He Must Give Full Account OF Him
self and His lntentions-Use OF
Red Ink Brings Serious Con-
sequences.

The recent conviction as a spy OF
the English lawyer, Mr.. Stewart, made
1t clear to everyone who read the &C
count of the trial that German law is
very different to our own. How diner.
ent 1t requires a visit to Germany to
realize. Before you have stayed In
German town for a week policeman
calls. He politely inquiries your age
your nationality, and how long you
intend to stay. Your answer he notes
down in one of the small library of
little books which he carries with
him.
II you take a house in Germany
you must notify the police; If you
move to another you must comply
with the same Formally. II you hire
a servant girl you must purchase
yellow blank, and report the fact.
When she leaves a green form must
be sent to the police stating why she
Is dismissed.
II you use the telephone In Ger
many you must be careful how you
speak to the employees. At Carls-
ruhe a gentleman, impatient at long
delay. called out: Are you asleep,
MISS" and was fined FIVE dollars for
offering IAN unjustifiable insult"
Whatever you do, be careful not to
use red ink when writing to the
police. The president of the Social
Democrat society at Hetschendorf did
SO, and was summoned and fined for
~inciting. the representatives of law to
break the peace"
In all small matters you must exer-
else the greatest care, so as not to
run the risk of insulting other peo-
Pile. A certain count Won Friedland
had a quarrel with an insurance
agent named Joseph Book.
The count presently summoned the
latter, because, as he alleged, the
agent stared at him whenever they
met, in a manner which revealed
bate and contempt" Poor Book was
found guilty and fined SO, with the
alternative OF ten days imprison-
ment.
A Berlin iron worker named Will
leck got into trouble the other day
In a manner incredible to English
Ideas. He was watching fat police
man chase riotous merrymaker, and
the vision of the formers stout legs
twinkling along amused him SO that
he burst into fit of laughter. This
was construed as an indictable offense
serious scandal-and the unhappy
Willeck went to prison for week.
The proprietor of a widely-known
patent medicine took a quarter OF
column In a German newspaper. The
publisher was summoned and fined
for "bombastic advertisement" It
was considered that the advertise
ment was too long and that 1t irritat-
ed the readers.
A German soldier was recently
hauled up for the serious offense Of
failing to salute his officer in the
street. For this the punishment is
two months Imprisonment. He plead
ed that he was short-sighted, and at
once was sentenced to an extra fort
nights confinement for failing to re-
port his condition.-London Tit-Bits.

Hair
|FaMnq2

You certainly cannot lose
your hair and keep it, too.
Which shall it be? Lose?
Then do nothing. Keep?
Then use Ayers Hair Vigor.
That is about all there is to
it. Ayers Hair Vigor is also
a splendid hair-dressing and
hair-tonic. 1t keeps the hair
soft and smooth and greatly
promotes its growth. 1t does
not color the hair. Consult
your doctor freely. Doctors
are studying these hair
questions much more than
in former days.
