BEST TO REMOVE THE PEELs
Danger in Eating Either Apples or
Pears as They Are Plucked
From the Trees.

Some people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin is re-
moved. Some even go so far as to say
there is danger in eating fruit that has
come in contact with the steel of the
pairing knife, as the acid in the fruit
is apt to produce some poison when
it comes in contact with the metal
But whether these things are true or
not, there is still greater. danger in
eating apples without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has always
been more or less infested with germs
of different types, and now our mod
ern methods of fighting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
poisonous deposits on it which will
do orr stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead, lime and sulphur
wash, and a number of other spray
ing compounds used by fruit growers
have been found to remain in consider
able quantities on the skin of apples
and pears until ripe and placed on the
market. The action of such chemicals
upon the tissues of the human body
are very injurious.
Spraying the trees is giving US more
perfect fruit and getting the grower
better prices, but if you value your
| health you should never eat apples Oh
| pears without first removing the peels

If HAIR is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darker and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about SO cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and look
glossy. soft and abundant Adv.

WORRY FOR ELECTION CROOKS
Indiana polls Ballot Thieves Scurry to
Cover When the Federal lnves-
tigation Begins.

Indianapolis, Jan. 5.-When William
T. Patten, auditor of Marion county,
went before the federal grand jury
yesterday the federal probe of charges
that negro voters were intimidated at
the polls at the recent election and
that there had been many irregulari-
ties of registration was formally
opened
The fact that 100 local men already
have been subpoenaed to appear this
week indicated that the probe would
be thorough. Because it follows so
closely the federal indictment of ia
Terre Haute men, including Mayor
Dom NJ. Roberts and many of his
official family, the report of the grand
jury is awaited with great interest
and in some circles with apprehension.
Politicians were aware yesterday for
the first time that corps of depu-
ties were busy serving summonses.
Patten took with him to the grand
jury room the original certificate of
the September and October registra-
ton in certain precincts.
AS in the Terre Haute investigation,
when newspaper men were called be-
fore Federal Judge Anderson and
warned not to publish names of those
called before the grand jury, it is sup
posed that this probe will be con-
Quoted with secrecy. The Terre Haute
probe opened with the arrest of eigh-
teen Terre Haute men on affidavits
sworn to in that city 1t is now I'M
derstood that most or all of these men
voluntarily confessed to alleged cleo
ton frauds and were released on their
own recognizance. Few, if any, volun-
tary confessions are expected in the
Indianapolis probe.

DOES NOT PROTEST
Arms Trade in Recognized As
Legitimate by Germany,
Congress Hears.
DUM-DUM CHARGE UNFOUNDEO
State Department Investigates the
Statement that Allies Get Such
Bullets in United States.

Washington, Jan. 6-Chairman
Flood of the House foreign affairs
committee today told proponents of
legislation to prohibit exports of war
materials that the German govern
ment. through the Berlin foreign of
fee, had made it plain that it did not
expect the United States to stop such
exports.
Chairman Flood made his statement
to Representative Bartholdt, who was
making a general argument at a pub
lie hearing today for his resolution
to stop exports.
Representative Bartholdt asserted
that he knew nothing of the attitude
of the German government and that
he and his associates opposed the ex-
portation of arms on the grounds of
International immortality"
Dum-dum Charge Unfounded.
The State Department" said Chair
man Flood to Representative Bar
| tholdt, has Investigated your charge
that dum-dum bullets were being
| shipped from this country to the Al
| lies. They have found that not more
| than seven hundred of these bullets
have left the country and that none of
! them would fit modern military serv-
| ice rifles
Representative Bartholdt said he
| had heard that the neutrality of the
| United States had been violated by
/ the shipments of Canadian troops
| over American territory in Maine, on
| their way to the war zone.
81 have never heard of that" said
| Chairman Flood.
Representative Bartholdt said he
knew of the incident only as matter
| of gossip, but that he would endeavor
to investigate.
Would Be An Unneutral Act.
THE shipment of war supplies to
beliggerent nations" said Chairman
| Flood, has been recognized for one
hundred years a right of our citi
zens by the law of nations. When this
war began that right was recognized
England through her foresight and the
| expenditure of her treasure hat
gained control of the seas. 1t would
be to her disadvantage to change thi:
situation now. Would it not be al
unneutral act?"
