And just before the opening OF
church one evening, as eight or ten
people were gossiping about the old
maid, Deacon Pardon became so ex-
cited that he exclaimed: "By thun-
der, but she orter be arrested and
made to give an account of herself!
I'm telling you that it amt natural
no, it amt natural"
A young druggist who had just
started in business in Bloomfield had
won favor in the eyes of at least three
maidens, though he had as yet pledged
himself to none. His trio of girls had
been very bitter toward the old maid,
believing that she would try to catch
the druggist. Miss Carter had been in
the store half dozen times to make
small purchases, and, of course, had
been treated politely, when one day
the druggist found time to muse:
"She's an old maid, but l don't be-
lieve she's set in her ways. She has
reached the age when she's no longer
frivolous, and she must know consid-
cradle about business"
And, after selling a box of pills to
farmer who complained about the
pesky potato bugs, he went on:
There are three or four nice girls
here, but who can tell what sort of
wives they will maker"
And, after selling a box of cough
drops to a red-headed woman who OBJ
served that it looked like rain, the
druggist went back to his musing.
''Yes, Miss Carter has got money,
and she must find it a worry to marry
for money, but if I had tidy little
sum l should know how to use it to
good advantage. They say that Miss
Carter is thirty-eight years old, while
l am only twenty-four. but love does
not take age into account"
That night he called at her home
and said: Miss Carter, am a bust
ness man."
"Yes?"
Il am called rather blunt man."
IT see."
viii you marry me?'
mo, sir, I WON'T"
"Will you tell me why?" he asked.
Because, sir, l am picking out hus-
bands for others"
When it was reported that the old
maid had turned down the druggist
that one of the girls might have
chance at him, an indignant meeting
was held in almost every house.

JAILs GOING oU'
The injustice of sending men to
the county jail, where there is no
work for them, no opportunity for ex-
ercise, no fresh air or sunshine. and
where sometimes a man<is entirely
overlooked because he is poor and
has no friends to take an interest in
him, was bitterly attacked by ex-
Judge Mckenzie Cleland yesterday to
Day Book reporter.
Judge Cleland, who is. a candidate
for judge of the circuit court on the
non-partisan ticket, is remembered
in Chicago for his administration of
justice in the thirteen months he pre-
sided over the Maxwell street police
station, where he maintained a SyS-
TEN of suspending sentences of tTiv-
ial offenders and putting them on pro-
baton to himself, visiting their
homes and enlisting business men to
take an interest in them.
Since he left the bench he has kept
up his fight for a more sane consid-
Grafton of criminals and has spoken
on the subject over i've hundred
times in Chicago.
County jails are going out of
fashion, he said. cit is becoming
recognized as useless and wrong to
send people to serve terms in the
county jail, where there is no work
or fresh air or sunshine and they are
shut up like rats in a trip in a breed
ing place for crime.
County jails should be used sim
ply as places of detention for persons
accused of crime until they are tried
for crime, and it is an injustice to
keep them there, as is done now for
weeks at time before they are given
a trial. The law presumes a man in
nocent until he is proven guilty,
therefore it is wrong to put a man
in jail for weeks while he is still con-
sidered innocent by the law.

England Causes All Trouble.

Washington-Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, presented to the
state department note from his gov
eminent, announcing that Germany
will consider recession from it's an
nounced intention of attacking the
British merchantmen, if Great Brit
ian will withdraw it's efforts to pre-
vent foodstuffs from reaching Germa-
ny's civilian population.
The note declares that Germany's
plan to attack British merchantmen
was a retaliatory measure adopted
because of alleged violations of inter
national law by Great Britain in try
ing to starve the non-combatant pop
ulation of Germany and that the latter
government is ready to withdraw from
it's purpose as expressed in the naval
war zone decree as far as it applies
to merchant vessels as soon as Great
Britain, either of it's own volition, or
as result of representative from
neutrals expresses her willingness to
return to the usual practices of inter
national law on the question of food
stuffs.

OPPOSITION BASED
0NST'ATE'S RIGHTS
PALMER BILL PASSES HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE BY THE
VOTE OF 2s2 TO a..
PURELY A CHILD LABOR ACT
Would Bar Products Made in Whole
or in Part BY Children From In
terstate Commerce.

Washington.-The Palmer bill to
bar products of child labor from inter-
state commerce was passed by the
house 232 to A after a lively debate
and the issuance of a writ of arrest
for absentees to suppress filibuster.
Opposition to the bill, led by Repre-
sentative Byrnes of South Carolina,
was based on the contention that it
interfered with the states rights.
The measure declares it unlawful
for producers, manufacturers or deal
ers to ship or deliver for transporta-
ucts of mine or quarry made wholly
or in part by children under 16 years
old, or products of mills, canneries,
workshops, factories or manufacturing
ablishments made by children un-
der IA or those between IA and Is
who work more than eight hours a
day, or more than six days a week or
after o'clock at night.
Inspection by the Department of
Labor would be authorized and fines
Of from 500 to $1,000 or imprison-
ment from one month to a year, or
both imposed for violation. When
Representative Palmer proposed sus-
pension of the rules to pass the bill
several Southern members protested
and started a flibuster marked by re-
peated points of no quorum, roll-calls
and rulings.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe OF Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about SO cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
