defied without protest stronger than
mere words. Deeper than these, and
behind and beyond, there is the
great moral force which compels men
and nations in moral issues to decide
which side they will support. We
have hesitated. The decision is
forced upon us. Whatever it may
cost us, we are bound to support the
spirit of democracy for which our
country stands against the spirit OF
imperialism which justifies its most
ruthless deeds by claiming a God
given right.

before it is over we shall have had
to stake our very existence. Let us
go into it coolly and deliberately,

true spirit of the American people.
While trumpets blared and martial
accoutrements ratified prophetically
about him. the president pictured the
deep wrongs the United States pa
tiently had borne in the conflict of
other peoples without wishing to
wrong or injure in return. Asserting
that the tragedies of another conti-
nent had removed provincialism and
made Americans citizens OF the world
and that the principles of this repub-
lie should be applied to a liberation
of mankind. he resolutely voiced de-
termination that America, standing
firm in armed neutrality" must dem
onstrate her claim to minimum of
right and freedom of action in world
affairs
Peculiar interest and significance,
in the light of his rebuke last night to
senators who prevented passage of the
armed neutrality bill, were attached
to the presidents assertion on this
point. Even mere interest and con-
Germ were aroused when he added:
I'VE may be drawn on, by circuIl.
stances. not by our own purpose or
desire, to a more active assertion of
our rights as we see them and a more
immediate association with the great
struggle itself. But nothing will alter
our thought or our purpose. We de-
sire neither conquest nor advantage
We wish nothing that can be had only
at the cost of another people. We
have always professed unselfish pur.
pose and we covet the opportunity to
prove that our professions are sin,

HAVE DARK IA R
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when
you darken gray. faded hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use. for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well,known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another

natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite 1t is not

MAY take ACTION
WITHOUT D. K.
OF CONGRESS
President May Decide to Put Guns
on American ships
HAS ASKED FOR LEGAL ADVICE
Decision II Is Believed, Will Be Fav-
orabIe and viii Be Announced ~
Today.

Washington, March 6.-President
Wilson will today announce his decis-
ion on the proposal to arm American
merchantmen without authority from
congress, as the advice which he has
sought from the legal department OF
the government it is believed will be
favorable to such action.
The president has placed squarely
before the Senate the responsibility
for changing its rules during the spe-
cial session begun yesterday so that
filibustering by small group of sena-
tors cannot prevent action by Con-
gress.
While the arming of merchantmen
is the step most considered, it is point
ed out that the president has the
right to convoy American vessels
This course has been opposed by the
navy department, however, principal
ly for strategical reasons.
Another step suggested Is that the
shipping board take over American
merchantmen, arm them as naval aux
iliaries and send them abroad.
The president has been inclined to
believe that certain old statutes still
in force might prevent him from fur
nishing guns to merchantmen, but
some of his advisers hold that
broader and truer Interpretation OF
these laws will show that they have
no application to the present stu
alton.

Mildred Cover, a young woman who
has been used to luxury. but finds her
self in poor circumstances at the
death of her father.
David Graham Phillips, author of
this popular story, has shown in real
colors the problems which confront
thousands of women every year.
There is the temptation to marry for
money, the temptation to purchase
ease at the price of self respect, and
other sorts of easiest ways" But
Mildred Cover is shown to be a
young woman who cherishes certain
high ideals, and will not. when it
comes to the crisis, pay the necessary
price for sheltered existence.
She does marry for money. but she
leaves her wealthy husband when she
realizes the humiliation of her posi-
tion. She does accept help from a
man who, she knows, loves her, but
again comes TO an understanding of
what it means, and again strikes out

cows REQUIRE PURE WATER
Supply Constitutes Three-Fourths Of
Volume of Milk and Demands
Dairyman's Attention.

All animals require plenty of good.
pure water. This is especially true OF
the milking cow, as water constitutes
more than three-fourths of the volume
of milk. The water supply, therefore.
demands the dairyman's most careful
attention. Stale or impure water Is
distasteful TO the COW and she will
not drink enough for maximum milk
production. Such water also may
carry disease germs which might make
the milk unsafe for human consump-
ton or be dangerous to the COW her.
self. During the winter. when cows
are stabbed the greater part of the
time, and unless arrangements have
been made to keep water before them
oil the time, they should be watered
two or three times Ia day. Il possible,
the water should be IS or 20 degrees
above the freezing point, and should
be supplied at practically the same
temperature every day.

Fish meal is a by-prOduct of the fish
industry. Waste from salmon ant

Preliminary experiments made By
the U. S. Dairy Division show that
the meal has no detrimental effect or

Fish meal is manufactured from the

Worth Effort Required.

In skimming hundred pounds OF

skim milk is kept ON the farm than
when the same amount of 20 per cent
cream is taken. This saving can be
accomplished by turn of the cream

skim milk on the farms also means
more calves raised to furnish smeat
