ure at Once.

Washington. Feb. 29.-Chairman
Kitchin, Of the House ways and means
committee, in reporting today the bill

prepared to urge early consideration OF
the in the House.

Emitions Shown by Color.

Certain colors correspond to various
m emotions, and are known,
therefore, as emotional colors. Blue
represents spiritual emotions and
signifies true religion in it's lighter
shades; yellow belongs to the feelings
that go with the highest intellectual
development, and a brilliant intellect
has it's color counterpart in a vivid
golden hue; orange and brown are al
ways associated with misery and
greedy instincts.
Red is the color par excellence Of
passion; when deep or dull it is sym
bolical of s~ensuality and animal pas
sions. Dark crimson represents hatred
and the higher forms of love glow
with pure ros color.
Green indicates deceit, gray beto
keps gloom and black is the emotiona
color of revenge and malice.

turned.
Caught between two calling fires"
said M. BRAND. covered with %shrapneI
from all sides, attacked by our fresh
divisions surging upon HI field Of bat
tie at an unexpected moment, the Ter
mans saw their efforts stopped short.
The struggle was a titanic one. Our
heroic troops went into the melee fran
tically. Our light and heavy artillery
dug sanguinary burrows in the COM
pact ranks OF the Germans.
FINALLY exhausted their ranks deci-
mated, the German armies recoiled un-
der u furious counter attacks We
have regained the advantage. Installed
upon formidable positions, our heroic
soldiers remained masters Of the field
Of battle"
Unofficial reports say the battle
which preceded the fall of Douaumont
was the most desperate Of h war. It
was won by the Germans only after the
sacrifice OF thousands of lives.
The Germans advanced in massed
formation in the face of murderous fire
of cannon, rapid firers and rifles. The
attacking troops were the flower OF the
German army, the Brandenburgers be-
ing rated equal to the famous Prussian
guard.
In anticipation of an attack on Yer
dun the French many months built
an intricate system of underground
works beneath the city of Verdun for
refuge while under she'll fire.

Not only is the impetuous German drive on Verdun being pressed
vigorously although with less rapid progress by the crown princes
armies, but aggressive action O a large scale has developed in the
Champagne district, where the Germans, according to Berlin, have
storned and captured nearly a mile of French trenches and have
made more than 1000 prisoners.
The new movement in the Champagne is n a front much nearer
Paris than the scene Of the operations against Verdln, the former
front being approximately 100 miles from Paris, while the Verdun
fighting area is roughly 40 miles distant.
North of Verdun the German lines have been extended somewhat
to the west, the loop of the Mouse around Champneuvile, having
been cleared of the French, the Berlin statement declares.
The French, however, have stopped the German drive in the Fort
Douaumont sector. Apparently the Germans still hold the for. itself,

GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

{ Hair that loses It's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, Is caused by lack of sulphur
dn the air 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 beautiful
dark shade of hair which Is so attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
50-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair SO naturally, SO evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell 1t has been
applied. Besides, 1t takes off daudruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand al q
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
hair after few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives it an appearance OF abundance.

COMPANY CONTESTS PAYMENT

Work of securing jury to hear the
case of Ira ]. st. Onge, ct al, against
the Hartford Fire Insurance company,
was completed and opening arguments
of counsel were made yesterday after
noon in circuit court. Suit is brought
to recover $4,000, amount of fire in
surance policy which the plaintiffs car
ried on a stock of goods at their gen.
eral store in Reynolds which was
burned.

of: Joshua Brooks, Foster Coyne, D.

Opening Statements.
Opening statement to the jury on
behalf of the plaintiffs was made by
C. J. Searle, who stated that the fire
occurred April 10, 1913, on Sunday
night between the hours of II and y.
He said the origin of the blaze was
unknown to the plaintiffs and de-
clared he thought the evidence would
show the company responsible for the
face value of the policy. He claimed
that, although there was a rider at
tached to the policy, which stipulated
that other insurance could not be car
ried on the same stock of goods with
out notification of the company, that
as a matter of fact R. P. Wait, agent OF
the company, who wrote the policy
knew that st. Onge had other .insur-
ance on the stock because he had writ
ten both policies, and therefore held
this could not be used as a defense
by the company in refusing to pay.
E. H. Hicks, Chicago, counsel for
the Hartford company, declared that
the stock of goods in question had
been over insured, three $4,000 poll
cies being carried on it, and declared
that the company was not at all liable
for any damages because of alleged
violation of the written contract, pre-
venting carrying of other insurance on
the stock without knowledge of the
company.

HEATED FIGHT IN
BRITISH COMMONS
Members of English Parliament In Ac-
tive Scene-"Married Men" Sub
ject Under Discussion.

London, March lit was we'll past
1 o'clock this morning when the house
of commons adjourned after a pro-
tracted debate nominally on army es-
Inmates but really covering wide
range of topics.
There were many heated passages
regarding the problem of calling up
married men. Sir John A. Simon, ex-
secretary for home affairs among 9TH
ers, appeared as the champion Of the
married men but his speech met with
sharp criticism from other champions
of the married men owing to his argu-
ment that there was danger of over
recruiting.
1t was announced a conference will
take place Saturday at the war office
between the higher military authori-
ties and the recruiting commanders
when the whole requirements of the
army in regard to men will be fully
discussed and explained.
1t is stated that the widespread agi-
tation on the part of the married men
has already interfered somewhat with
the war office arrangements, but there
is little doubt that the calling up of
further groups of married men has
been only briefly postponed.
Among the proposals now being con-
sidered is that Of extending the mill
tary age for single men to As years.
Special meetings Of the liberal and
unionist war committees" which will
constitute the backbone Of any organ
lied opposition to the present govern
ment have been summoned for next
