TO DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur brings back it's vigor,
 color, gloss and thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphu. and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri. ant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just few applications will prove a revela- tion if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray. faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur. no one can tell. because it does so naturally, so evenly. You just damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morn ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or wo, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

 " All wild geese, wild swans, wild ducks, snipe, blower, woodcock,> rail, wild pigeons and all other migratory game and insectivorous birds which in their northern and southern migra- tions pass through or do not remain permanently the entire year within the borders of any state or territory, shall hereafter be deemed to be with in the custody and protection of the government of the United States, and shall not be destroyed or taken con trary to regulations hereinafter pro vided therefor
 "No state license would be required or could be collected for the killing of any of the above mentioned game birds, and there is no limit to the number one hunter may kill in one day, nor the size of gun which may be used. The federal law places no close season on doves or whitewings. so that they might be killed at any season, anywhere, and in any quan- tity.

Conflict of Authority May Arise as Result of Clash Be- tween the Federal and State Statutes.

PHOENIX, Jan. 4.-From informa- tion on the back of the 1916 hunting license, issued by the state game warden's office, it is apparent that both state and federal laws are to be enforced.
 The license card says: Where state and federal laws conflict, the federal law governs" If the federal law is declared constitutional by the United States supreme court, in the case of U. s. vs. Shauver appeal from Arkansas, heard last October, it will nearly wipe out the Arizona game laws, and leave the state game war den but little to do, according to a Phoenix attorney, who says:
 "Of course, no one will contend for minute that if the federal game law is constitutional, that any one can take certain parts of that law and consider them in force, and certain parts of the Arizona game law and
