A FEW THEORIES.

A FEW THEORIES.
It's not SO much the song, l guess,
AS what is in the singer
That makes the music in our hearts
IN tender accents linger.
The worth is not in what we give,
But in our thought behind it;
The giving spirit crowns the gift
Because love has designed it.
Its not the words we speak that
count
In promising or pledging;
It's what we do by active deed
With neither halt nor hedging.
And If our lives are some day judged
1t won't win much attention
To say we did much wrong, but,
then,
We had good intention.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old. Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify
 Faded, Lifeless Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wiEpy and scraggly, just an ap- plication or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances it's appearance a hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a 50 cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thickness and lustre of your hair and remove dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's' Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at q time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared. and after another ap- plication it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abundant.

clerks and shop assistants

commercial clerks and shop assistants
 of both sexes.
 Austrian smokers will soon have to
 be content with homegrown tobaccos,
 since imports from abroad have been
 entirely stopped and the stock of for
 eign brands on hand in the govern
 ment stores are not very large.
 The Director of the Austrian Tabak-
 reggie is credited with saying that the
 public have been showing their loy-
 atty by rejecting all tobaccos, cigars
 and cigarettes manufactured in Eng land or France. Both there and in
 Budapest the tailors' associations met and solemnly pledged themselves not
 to make up any English cloth. At the Theaters.
 | Several weeks later than usual the Vienna theaters have begun to open their doors, and most of them are now giving more or less regular per formances But the two court stages the Imperial Opera House and the Hofburg Theater-are still closed. This is due to disputes over the salaries of the performers. Fearing that the season might not be very successful and presumably anxious to spare the emperor's private purse from any great losses the court chamberlain $ department tried to reduce the scale of salaries paid to the better classes l of performers. It was proposed to l fix the maximum remuneration of the chief actors and singers at eigh- teen thousand crowns a year t$3,6OO), and the minimum at seven thousand | two hundred crowns ($1, ,44O). No at l tempt was made to reduce the wages paid to the chorus girls and supers, and stage mechanics and other em- i ployes.
 The court officials argued that their proposal was quite fair, as it was | only intended to give four perform !, ances a week. But two or three of i the highly paid artistes offered such determined opposition to accepting 1 any reduction in their salaries that | it was found impossible to reopen either opera or theater. The quar- rel at last became extremely acrl- l monious and the names of the sing I CTS who were standing out for their regular high salaries were freely men, ] toned in the papers. At last 1t was stated that they had yielded to the representations of the minor actors and stage employees, who were threat ened with starvation, and agreed to accept the lower scale of renumera ton. But so far neither Opera nor Burg Theater has been reopened.

EGGS OF GYPSY MOTH
 CARRIED ON STONE
New Haven Road Notified of Quaran.
 tine h New England.

The department of agriculture has decided that eggs of the gipsy moth are frequently carried on stone and quarry products from districts in- fested by the moths. For this req son it has ordered quarantine placed on certain infested districts in New England, which means that stone quarried in these districts can- not be moved interstate to outside points until it has been inspected and passed by the department. Notice 10 this effect has been sent. to the New Haven road, which is preparing a circular for shippers on the sub- ject.
 Rules governing the shipping and transportation of quarry products in these districts are very strict. They require that every car, box or other container of stone shall be plainly marked and bear certificate of in- spection. In the case of carload or bulk shipments these certificates must accompany the way bills, con- ductors' manifests or bills of lading.
New Britain herald., 1914-11-20

Stone or quarry products originating outside the affected district can be shipped out from points within the quarantined area only under permit showing they are free from egg clus- ters These permits are issued by the superintendent of moth work at Bos- ton. Applications for them have to show the nature and quality of the stone and it's exact location. Appli- cation blanks are furnished by the Department of Agriculture, 43 Ire mont street, Boston.
 The campaign against the gipsy and brown tail moths has been waged now for some years and the quarantine on quarry products shows how determined the department is to stop the continued spread of these costly pests. As the department has pointed out the pest can be eradlcat- ed only by attacking the egg clus- ters. One of the best methods for doing this is to treat the egg clusters with creosote, which can be bought for about thirty-f1ve cents a gallon. The winter and early spring is the time when this has to be done. The brown tail moths can be destroyed better by burning their winter web. If people throughou. New England were to turn out this winter and at tack these egg clusters in the dis tricts now under quarantine it would go a long way toward exterminatlng these pests, whose ravages thus affect commerce.

been delivered to their relatives and friends at home. The correspon- dence from both countries comes through Rumania. The letters, of course, are read by the official cen- COTS in the country where they are written. The Austrian papers admit that the correspondence on the whole gives the impression that the prison CTS are being we'll treated. In Rus sia the wounded receive medical att tention, and grand-duke visited them in a. hospital at Moscow. Nearly all the unwounded and those who have recovered from their injuries are be- ing sent to Omsk in Siberia. It is thought that later they may be put to work in the mines there, but noth- ing definite has been heard as to this.
 For special benefit of the middle class of unemployed in Vienna, the Austrian Women's Franchise commit tee have organized Citizens War Dinners" A substantial meal of two courses, nicely prepared and served, is supplied for forty hellers (eight cents). Dining rooms have been pro- vided at various centers where the meal is served between noon and half past one o'clock daily; or the food can be taken home if desired, but persons must bring their own dishes for the purpose. Among the classes benefited by this form of relief are musicians, artists. engineers, teachers,

100000 MEN INTERNED.
French Government PerpIcxed As to How to Employ Prisoners of War

Bordeaux, Nov. 20.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press.)- How to find something for the Ger man prisoners of war to do, is a question which is preoccupying the French government. There are now about 100000 men interned in va rious towns in southern and western France. Many of them belong to some skilled trade, but to employ them at their own craft would ag- gravate the situation of French un- employed and give rise to protests from trade unions.
 It has been decided to use a large number of prisoners as dock laborers
