FRENCH SEEK
TO BUILD III
Their TRADE
Will Encourage Heaving Out

Ports of France.

Correspondence of Associated Prass1 !
PARIS. Nov. Hi Lack OF outgoing
freight was what allied the French
merchant marine before the war, says
ment of the Sarthe and former under
secretary for the merchant marine.
Outgoing freight-heavy HeIght-is
the only permanent cure for that aiI-3
ment; the remedy will be furnished by
the issue of the war.
Five million tons OF steel and iron
from the valley Of the Moselle,' he de-
.cIarcs to the Associated Press, will
be added TO our expectation, since the
least that France Will get out OF the

The .Frenchmnn is stny-at-home.n
says NJ. Alan, "and we can't give to
our lines the revenue German ships
derive from the emtgrant trade. We
can and will give them products and
manufactures in place of live freight.
AT least we can give them a larger
proportion of our own current carry
ing trade that went to foreign snlps
before the war"
The significance of Al. Ajam's refer
ence appears from fl CURES showing that
France paid /, O85, O00O 900 francs to for
eign ships and 345.000.000 to French
lines in 1915. The balance Of seven.
hundred and forty million francs has
had more weight in the argument for.
a. greater merchant marine than years

and parliament propose Immediate ac-.

MUST NOT KEEP COWS AT
contested DISTRICT

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. 8.-Judge
Henry c. Hammond, of Augusta, pre-
siding over the Chatham Superior
Court, has handed down a notable de-
cision unfolding the city ordinance
against keeping cows in the congested
district of Yamacraw.
The case is that Of the temporary
injunction obtained against the city
health officer, DR.. W. F. Drummer, by
Mrs. ]. A. Davis and twelve other resi-
dents of Yamacraw, restraining the
city from enforcing the ordinance and
takink from them their permits to keep
COWS. Judge Hammond held the ord
nance legal and dissolved the injunc-
ton.
Judge Hammond's decision is consid-
cred a masterpiece by those who heard
it. Stating that he cannot understand
the ridicule chapel upon a certain
dame for kissing her COW, Jcdge Ham
mond proceeded to pay the COW the
highest tributes words can convey.
This eloquent termination with the
statement that it is the COW who holds
out to US teh possibility of perpetual
Iife-according to Mechnikoff, the but
termilk scientist, who died compare

AN old RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Youthful at Once

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie Of this old time recipe improved by
the addition Of other ingredients for
about so cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as It does 1t 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 morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound Is delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention OF dis
ease. advt,

cate. Still another patriotic organiza-
ton, in its campaign for economy in
meat, bread. tea, alcohol, sugar, butter,
etc, distributed this placard: IF you
are extravagant this Christmas you
will waste food, put up prices, and
help to prolong the war"
That the churches are in hearty
sympathy with the idea of an economic
Christmas is indicated by the newspa-
per campaigns that have been con
Quoted among the Bishops throughout
the country. After expressing their
approval and willingness to cooperate,
they invariably make a special plea
against allowing depression to creep
into the observance of the Yuletide
season.
But in depriving themselves of many
of the good things of life at this season
the British people have not forgotten
to provide for the soldiers and sail
ors. Arrangements were made to
provide every officer and man at the
front with a plum-pudding on Christ
mas Day. Besides hundreds of thous-
ands of Christmas parcels containing
a large variety of food were sent to the
boys at the front in all the theatres of
war.

Cottonwood Borer Can Be Cut
By Taking The Proper Steps

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. Sin
jury to cottonwood and willow shade
trees by the cottonwood borer can be
prevented by placing a cone of wire
screen, l foot high, about the base Of
the tree and extending an inch into
the ground. This screen prevents the
beetles from laying eggs in the tree az
or just below the ground and thus pre-
vents the development of larvae which
cut the bark and interfere with sap
flow, and later tunnel the wood and
weaken the tree against wind.
The cone is made of galvanized net
ting with one-quarter to one-half inch
mesh. The netting is cut into strips
slightly over ] foot wide and long
enough to go completely around the
tree at such distance from the bark
that the beetle can not deposit eggs
through the screen. Sits A to 6 inches
deep are cut in the top edge of the
strip at distance from to 4 inches
apart so as to permit the bending Of
the screen at the top to- fit closely
around the trunk of the tree. The
screen is then bent around the tree
and the lap fastens at the lower edge
by means OF a nail. The lower edge
Is sunk into the ground about an inch
and the soil packed closely. The flaps
made by the Sits are then pinned
over one another so as to fit very
closely around the tree and finally the
top edges are bound to the tree by a
piece of twine. 1t is important to have
the edges against the tree and all the
laps fit 80 closely that NO beetles can
get into the screening.
Before placing the cone around the
tree 1t would be well to examine the
tree and to exterminate and larvae that
are discovered in the bark. Bisulphide
Of carbon may be injected into the old
tunnels, but it is doubtful If this il
worth while, as the larvae when they
lave reached the tunneling stage COM
monty have done ali the damage of
which they are capable.
These cones if made large enough at
first last several years, but it may be
necessary each summer to loosen them,
lest they bind the tree too tightly. All
holes should be repaired and care
should be taken to see that the cones
are in perfect snaps before summer as
the beetles commonly lay their eggs
during July and August
The beetle which lays the eggs which
later develop into boring larvae is
shining black oyerlaid by stripes and
patches of eream-colored scales. 1t is
one Of the largest beetles found ia
Kansas. The larvae are white, with
black mouth parts, and much wrinkled.
The extent to which these borers i'm
fest groves Of shade trees was shown
by an examination at Garden City.
Kansas, where 10 trees disclosed q
eggs, rs small larvae, and 20 tunnels.
