SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair TO its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
cut-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You Will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addi-
ton OF other ingredients. which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with IL and
draw this through your hair. taking
one strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after anoth-
err application or two, II becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youth
full appearance 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.-Advt.

Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See IL tongue Is

When listless, pale, fcvcrish, full of
cold. breath bad, throat sore, adoesn't
cat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach

Nothing equals California Syrup OF
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful and in "A few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is cloggcd in the bowels
passes out OF the system, and you have
n well and playful child again. All chill
dren love this harmless, delicious fruit
laxative" and II never fails TO effect
good inside cleansing. Directions for
ba bies, childrcn OF all ages and grown
ups are plainly on the bottle.
Keep Il handy in your home. A little
given today saves a sick child tomorrow,
but get the genuine. Ask your druggist
for a 5O-cent bottle of California Syrup
OF Figs" then see that II Is made by
the California Fig Syrup Company"

 Grange Food Sale.
 Grange hall will be thrown open to- morrow afternoon when the women of that organization hold food and apron sale. For the past several months the ladies of the Grange sew ing committee have been engaged at their meetings in making aprons for this affair and some fine specimens of their work will be placed on sale. The women will be served luncheon after the sale and will then prepare for the evening entertainment which will take the form of a whist. The whist as we'll as the sale will be open to the public.
 Acorns Disband.
 An Important meeting of the Acorn A. c. was called for last evening in Kingo's block and a large representa- tion turned out. For some time in the past the boys have been making an active campaign for permanent club room but at last nights meeting all the carefully made plans fell through and a motion was made to disband. Today the Acorn A. C. is a thing of the past but the exact reason for dis banding is not known as the club has had a most successful season on the football field during the past fall. It was only a week ago that a popular dance was given in Foresters' hall and after this affair all looked clear for a, good winter in sports and the social world but now the entire program will have to be dropped
 Final Preparations Made. Final preparations for the banquet to be given by the men of the Berlin Congregational church this evening at 7:3O o'clock have been made. Covers will be laid for more than 100 persons This fact alone assures the men of a successful affair but as the main event of the evening they have secured as a speaker Rev. Dr. Rockwell liar mon Potter. who is one of Hartford S leading clergymen.

AN OPENING WEDGE
 SAYS BERNSTORFF
Ambassador Believes Allies Will
 at Least Discuss Terms

Washington, Dec. 13.-Count von Bernstorff received word from the Berlin foreign office yesterday regard ing the peace proposals. Afterward he authorized this statement:
 II am gratiied by the steps taken by my government and I think that even if they should not result in peace they are at least proof that Germany, even in the height of a victorious campaign. has no desire to
 Germany wants peace and does
 not want conquest. I cannot say any,
 thing about terms for the reason that
 l do not know what they may be-
 The ambassador is understood to
 regard the possibility Of a discussion
 of peace by the belligerents as the all ] important point involved in the pro- posal. He does not believe that the entente allies will refuse even to talk about peace terms" and is un- derstood to believe that an opening wedge may be forthcoming which ul-
 timately will lead to an armistice and an understanding.
 It is not believed that the ambassa dor expects Great Britain or her al-
 lies to agree to Germany's proposal at once. or to consider an immediate cessation of, hostilities. The most he
 hopes for is that they will be willing to discuss the matter. He believes
 that public opinion, not only in neu- tral countries. but in the countries of the entente, will sanction giving consideration to peace discussion. Should the entente decline to con- sider Gemany's proposal, the ambas- sador believes they will be at least duty bound to inform the world what they are fighting for. His posi- tion is that Germany has now made it clear that conquest is not the ob- ject of prolongation of the war so far as Germany is concerned. and that Great Britain and her alUes must either admit that they are fighting to "crush Germany or consider the of- fer to stop fighting.
 And if the entente goes on record
 as continuing the war to crush 'Prus- sian nnilitarism which to the am bassador means the German nation he believes that neutral nations. as well as belligerents. should fully un- derstand 1t.

CABLE MESSAGES
 GAN NOW BE HEARD
Discovery May Reyolutionize
 l)nderSea Communication

Washington, Dec. 12.-A technical discovery expected to revolutionize cable communication is announced by the war department The discovery. the results of experiments initiated and carried out under the direction of Lieut.. Col. George o. Souier. U. s. A., chief of the aviation section of the signal corps, will permit the recep- ton of Morse signals ill cable com mun1catlon audibly instead of visually by flashes, as at present
 The principal drawback to .. cable communication has been the necessity or employing the visual recorder, re- qulring the employment of highly trained cable readers. The new fn- Fention-the "audion cable receiver is expected to do away with cable readers and bring the operation of ocean cables in line with land line and radio telegraphy.
 lne ollclal announcement regard ing the invention follows in part:
 The preliminary experiments, Whlch nave been in progress for someG
New Britain herald., 1916-12-13

months, were made at the government radio laboratories, and the actual tests on an ocean cable have been| completed recently. The improvements consists essentially in the adaption1 of the ticker and audion types of in- strument used for receiving the sig nals in radio telegraphy.
 ''The tests have been made on ths. government signal corps cable fromI Sitka, Alaska, to Seattle, Wash, andI the receiving apparatus was installed in the Seattle office. This cable isl 1,0S6 miles in length and has a K. R approximately equivalent to one of tfeI Atlantic cables
 "The actual receiver is an ordinary telephone. The feeble current rel ceived is normally inaudible in theI telephone. It is broken up by means| of a slipping contact ticker and ren-| dered audible. In order to secure| greater sensibility, a tuned audion| amplif1er is so great that less thanl one-twentieth of the voltage necessary| for operating the siphon recorder isl sufficient to give good traffic signals.
 "The significance of this develop- ment may be realized when we re- member that at present all the traffic IOI OC0dH CdDlSS mas to De IrdnSlaISQ into an entirely different code at each end and that highly paid cable read- CTS are required to decipher these messages. The present discovery brings the operation of ocean cables in line with land line telegraphy aa we'll as radio telegraphy. The in- creased sensitiveness obtained by this method guarantees the operation of ocean cables under conditions when they would be totally interrupted as at present used and forecasts radical improvements in the world engineer ing practice of cable telegraphy.
 '"The experiments have been initiat- cd and carried out under the personal direction of Lieut.. Col. George O. Squier signal corps, United States army, by Dr. Louis W. Austin, in charge Of the naval radio laboratory bureau of standards and Dr. Louis Cohen, consulting engineer of the sis- nal corps"

 Pleasant weather, with low tenn peratures, prevails between the Rocky M Mountains and the Mississippi river. Tenn peratures from 20 degrees to 30 degrees below zero were reported along the Canadian border. Zero temperatures were reported as far south as Kansas and frosts were re- ported as far south as Florida Real winter weather prevails this morning in the western and central districts.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity fair weather with lower temperature tonight.
