SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, Hfeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by q lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beau tiful dark shade of hair which is so attra ctive, use only this Old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for s5O-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied Besides, it takes off dand- ruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beauti f,111v darkening the hair after a few annlications it also brings back the e1oss and lustre and gives it an an- nearance of abundance.

DRUNKEN PORTER .. 
 UPHELD BY COURTS
German War Law Made Position of Man Tenable Despite Employ
 CTS Protests.
Correspondence of Asso. Press)

(Correspondence of Asso. Press.) Berlin, Dec. 31.-In many ways at least the German working man or empIoye of any kind receives the most perfect protection from his paternal government of any similar person in the world The following case, just decided, is illustrative of the right of German employees and of the safe guards thrown around them.
 A soldier, wounded in the war, was invalided home and discharged. Pre- sently he received a position as a ho- tel porter. He had hardly held the job a fortnight, however, when he was missed one day just as guest ar rived. A clerk showed the arrivel to a room, but was astonished as he opened the door to find the missing porter, fully clothed and with very muddy boots, badly under the in- fuence of liquor, lying on the guests bed.
 The hotel proprietor summarily dismissed the porter. The discharged employe, however, sued under the law which specifies that notice must be given except in certain well-de- fined cases. The court upheld the porter's claim and awarded him back pay of 167 marks. on the following grounds
 The porter's surrender to the in- fuence of liquor probably was due in part to his earlier wounds His act in lying down on the guests bed was caused by his intoXication. Therefore 1t was attributable to the wounds and excusable. One case of drunk enness was not sufficient to warrant summary dismissal, unless the en- ploye in advance had been specifically warned not to visit saloons-which was not the case with the soldier porter In addition he had not been hired on probation and therefore was entitled to full notice before be- ing dismissed.

states which permit quail hunting now have limit of twenty birds or less per day.
 All the states now allow waterfowl hunting, but the wood duck is pro- tected for several years through out the northern zone and in the south ern zone in the states of California; Kansas and West Virginia. Daily bag limits were established for the first time in Arkansas and Connecti cut, reduced in Oklahoma from twen- ty-fve to ten, and increased in Mis- souri from ten to fifteen. Most of the states now have a limit of twenty-five or less per day.
 Open Season Lengthened.
 Open seasons were heightened in Montana on elk and deer two weeks, in Florida on deer and birds three weeks, in Minnesota on quail twenty days, and in Nevada on sage hens four and a half months, on grouse one month, and on quail two weeks. New Jersey reverted to the former plan of hunting deer on four consecu- tive Wednesdays instead of five con- secutive days.
 Seasons were shortened in a number of states. In the case of big game the deer season was curtailed in Arkansas three months, in Oregon and Washington two weeks. In New Mexico the seasons were generally shortened and arranged in two dis tricts divided at latitude 35 degrees. Tn California the dove season was made later and in Minnesota short ened twenty days; in Oklahoma the quail season was curtailed six weeks, and in Michigan, Nevada (ducks), Tennessee and Wyoming, spring shooting of waterfowl was abolished.
 Laws Protecting Big Game.
 The more important changes af- fecting big game included the closing of the season for four years on moose in Maine; authorization for the kill ing of fifty bull moose in Wyoming; lengthening the season on elk in Mon- tana two weeks; closing the season on mountain sheep in Montana; changes affecting does in seven states, including the removal of protection in Florida, Nevada, New Jersey and W. oming; establishment of limit ln Arkansas; and decrease in the limits in Alaska, Michigan, Montana and Nevada.
 Under present conditions deer hunt ing is permitted in thirty-six states, in about one-third of which the hunter is limited to one deer season and in most of the others to two. Eighteen states protect does at all seasons and allow only bucks to be killed-name1y Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, OlSlaho- ma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania requires that deer killed shall have horns inches about the hair New York and Vermont at least three inches long, and West Virginia four inches long, California prohibits entirely the killing of spike bucks.

 ''The leaders of the republican par ty are speeches. in our countrys great crisis.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY

Denies Charge Bull Moose Leaders
 Have Abandoned Their Course

Chicago, Jan. 11.-George w. Per- kins, at a dinner given by him to members of the Progressive Nation al committee last night, on the eve of it's meeting to prapare for the com ing national campaign, answered what he termed the persistent charge that our leaders have abandoned their course' by pointing to the fact that at the meeting today practically every state will be represented by national committeeman from the pro- gressive party, all with the determined purpose to serve their country's inter- eStS.
 Many Discouragements.
 "As is always the case in great moral struggles,' MT. Perkins said, i've have had many discouragements, of our national committee I am sure I voice the sentiment of every man pres ent and the thousands of loyal men and women whom he represents, when I say that we are glad we engaged in the struggle; that we have accom- plished a vast deal of good for our country and, God willing, will accom- plish a vast deal more.
 ITO the constant and persistent charge that our leaders have aban- doned their cause, that our party is a mere paper organization, that we have failed and have surrendered to the men who forced the fight upon us, we answer that at tom orrow's meeting
