FEW FOLKS HAVE

Druggist Says Ladies' Are Using Re-
cipe OF Sage Tea and sulphur.
Hair that loses its color and lus-
ire, or when 1t fades, turns gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by lack
of sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mothers made up 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 attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of 9TH
er ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a 50-cent bottle of IVY

SO evenly, that nobody can possibly

pears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur

fully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the

NO SEPARATE
PEACE FOR
BELGIUM
Germany Said to Have Of
fered Complete Restoration
Of the Country, But King
Albert Declines to Accept

London, Feb. Belgium has re-
jected oyertures for separate peace
with Germany, according to a Rome
dispatch today.
Cardinal Mercier, It was reported.
conveyed this information to the
pope.
Terms on which Germany wanted
Belgium to conclude the separate
peace were said to be:
An agreement for complete restor-
alton OF Belgium, with certain pri-
yileges for the Germans at channel
ports; Germany to pay a large sum
for rebuilding destroyed structures
In Belgium; and for maintenance OF
Belgian neutrality during the remain
der OF the war.
King Albert, however. rejected the
proposals and declared he will not
consider peace until the allies are
victorious, 1t is reported.
Belgian sources recently denied
any overtures had been made, but
The Hague reported that negotiations
were actually under way and pro
ceeding satisfactorily from the Ger
man standpoint.
Substance was lent to the peace re
ports from the fact that Sir Douglas
Haig recently went to Havre on {
special mission" to meet Kinl
Albert. No announcement Of the re
suit OF his trip has been forthcoming
however. though it is thought ht
must have determined Albert against
acceptance of separate peace, II in
deed, the Belgian king had seriously
considered acceptance.

THE RACK
Wilson Appointee to the Su-
preme Bench Is Being In
vestigated by Committee
As to Fitness for Office

Washington. Feb. 81 charge
Brandeis with being guilty OF a
breach OF faith"
This accusation was hurled against
President wilson's nominee for
United States supreme court justice,
Louis ID. Brandeis. Of Boston, by
Clifford Thorne. Iowa railroad COM
missioner, today. In hearing as TO
Brandels' fitness for the post, Thorne
claimed, too, that the Bostonian had
betrayed his trust lin one of the
gravest and most important cases
ever tried In this country,"--the five
per cent railroad rate matter.
Thorne's sensational declarations
and the defeat OF Senator Clark's ef-
forts to send the hearing to the full
judiciary committee. which is un-
friendly to Brandeis. instead of hav-
ling Il before subcommittee, con-
stituted the features in the opening
fight on the lawyer. Reports previous
to the hearing were that Thorne
would charge the alleged breach OF
faith to Brandeis' desire to prevent
President Wilson political career
from being shattered by an adverse
decision OF the rate case, that might
react on the country's business situa'
ton. This charge was not voiced
but Thorne did charge that Brandeis
had assumed position in favor OF
an increase, when such was not
needed
Thorne declared that Brandeis had
represented the seaboard shippers In
l91O while Thorne represented the
western shippers and the public.
Two questions were then at stake;
Were the railroads entitled to more
revenue, and, II so. where from?
In 1918 the interstate commerce
commission retained Brandeis as spe'
cial counsel In the flve per cent rate
case. Thorne read the letter In
which the commission engaged the
Boston attorney, This instructed
Brandeis not to attempt to prove any
particular side,
Nevertheless" said Thorne, "ht
committed himself to the proposition
that a return of IN per cent on the
investments OF the railways was in
adequate and niggardly."

pressed his opposition to any legis-
lation that would permit operators

gested that the government discon-
tinue building oil burners, and said
that experts had told him the visible

Boston. Feb. g.--That German
agents. active against Canadian and

ports say that Federal Agent Schmidt,

dor Spring-Rice. trailed the alleged
plotters To an Office In the business
district on MIX street and took a

ences.
The hasty move OF the agents to
this city is thought TO have been the
result OF hurried trip Schmidt's
assistant made to Canada. Mystery.
however. surrounds the situation, and
Schmidt refuses TO discuss II. Gus

District Attorney Anderson have gone
to Washington and this may mean
that they are reporting TO their supe-
rlors as to the new base OF anti-ally
