INSTINCT IN PLANTS.
Actions That Seem TO Indicate Some
Sort Of Nervous System.

Plants sometimes appear to possess
reasoning power. Charles Darwin In
stanced the case OF the rootlet. which.
piercing its way through the soil and
detecting n stone or lump Of hard clay
In It's path. will go round II without
touching II. How does the rootlet or
plant know that the stone Is there q
he asks. Certainly II cannot see IL
and as IL does not touch II cannot feel
II. The avoidance therefore seems to
be In the nature Of perception OF some
kind which Is mental operation"
The species Of mimOsa known ms the
sensitive plant will contract It's leaves
even at the sound of footstesp and
when such plant Is being transplant
ed II crumples up during the process In
such way that 1t really appears to be
suffering from fear. Afterward II re-
covers and resumes its ordinary mode
of life.
Plants undoubtedly possess con
sciousness OF kind which enables
them to carry out certain operations
necessary TO their preservation. and
this can only be done through the pos

PLAIN GARDEN SAGE NATURALLY DARKENS

lustre of your hair and is the best
thing known to remove dandruff, stop

Everybody chooses "Wyeth's" Sage

tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time which
requires but few moments. Do this
at night and by morning the gray
hair has disappeared and after an

Washington, Aug. S.-The fiat
charge that department of justice
agents had investigated federal judges
to influence their action in cases in

was made in the senate by Senator
Borah and endorsed, partially at least,
by Senator Norris. -
Senator Borahs charge was brought
out by report from Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds, responding to SEN
ate resolution asking where federal
agents were Investigating judges. The
attorney general replied that any re-
port that the federal department of
justice was maintaining a system OF
espionage over judges was entirely
without foundation

charge.

TRUSTS ORGAN.
How McAdoo Knew Bonds
+. We're to Be Hammered.
PREDICTION PROVES TRUE

"MonthIy Letter" Of the National City
| Bank Of New York in Discussing
Currency Bill Declared That Gov

Washington, Aug. S.-The principal
reason that led Secretary of the

ment ten days ago charging that
powerful group of bankers were wag.
Ing campaign to hammer down the
price of government 2 per cent bonds
in order to assist them in defeating
the passage of the administration
banking and currency bill has become
known.
Mr.. McAdoo received his inspiration
from the July number of the month
ly letter. of the National City bank,
which the money trust investigation
exhibited as the backbone of the or
ganization that is supreme in the
banking world and controls credits to
a powerful degree.
The National City bank issues
monthly four-page letter to it's cor
respondent hanks in the interior and
to all other banking institutions that
care for the service. This bulletin
is scrutinized by bankers from one
end of the country to the other be-
cause it is looked upon as a financial
oracle.
The front page of the letter con-
tains a statement under the caption
of United States Securities and Gov
eminent Finances" 1t is a disserta-
ton upon the administration plan for
monetary reform. It concludes with
a paragraph offering grave misgivings
as to the possibility of the govern
ment being able to maintain the pres
ent bonds at par after the circulation
privilege is removed, even though the
rate of interest is raised from 2 to 3
per cent.
