Halifax, Dec l0.-A roaring bliz- gard, the third to strike this sorely afflicted city since the blast from the exploding munitions steamer made 25,000 homeless four days ago, burst from the northeast late today. Raging with all the fury for which these northern winter storms are noted, it all but crushed the hearts of the brave band of workers struggling against overwhelming odds to allevi- ate suffering For a while the con tingents of the Canadian army sta toned here toiled doggedIy amid the ice shrouded ruins for the unrecov- cred dead but when the wind yeered suddenly to the southeast and blew with redoubed force, the soldiers were obliged to withdraw. Pungs bearing hospital supplies and food to the nu- 1nerous relief stations were storm bound. The crippled lighting system broke down again, leaving the city in darkness
 Burial parties who had volunteered tnelF SeFFlCeS Wutn tht HlculCdl du thorities announced that the recov- cred dead must be disposed of at once were driven to cover,
 From the devastated area of two and a half square miles hundreds of men and women patiently seeking their dead gave up their task for still another day and sought shelter pro vided for them in buildings where every pane of glass had been shattered by the destructive explosion.
 Relief trains bringing workers and supplies reached the city in the height of the blizzard, but those sb eager to help found themselvces helpless and knew not which way to turn in the confusion of the storm. the un- lighted city and the wreck of familiar landmarks.

 Fulton was on his man from the start, using short blows to the body while Flynn endeavored to cover up In tue opening round Fulton landed hard with his left. Flynn seemed dazed. Several times he was knocked against the ropes so hard that he had to be helped off
 The end came after Fulton rushed his man around the ring in the sec ond. Flynn missed long swings re- peatedly and did not land half dozen blows, while Fulton was after his op- ponent from the tap of the gong After rushing .ns man from neutral corner to his own Fulton caught Flynn squarely on the iew with hard smash that sent Flynn to the ropes.
 1t was the third meeting between the two men. Fulton said after the fight that if Jess Willard, present heavyweight titleholder, continued to ignore his challenges after December 20. he would claim the title and would 1e willing to meet all corners.

ANOTHER BLIZZARD SWEEPS

Austria Objects 10
 Being Called VdSSaI

Amsterdam, Dec. 10.-Commenting on the declaration of war by the United States against Austria ILun- gary. the Budapest Pester Lloyd, ac- cording to a Cologne Gazette dispatch from the Hungarian capital, declares 1t is falsehoOd and an insult to assert that Austria Hungary is a vassal of Germany.
 "The unbearable presumption which marks President Wilson's message reaches climax in this strangest and most Irresponsible of war declara- tions," says the newspaper. If Presi- dent Wilson has an ear for words Of pride and honor he may learn from the speech of Count Andreass, Count Tisha and Count Czernin that the re- latiOnship of the allied central DOW CTS is quite other than vassalage. Free states and free born peoples, they have never inquired whether one did not give too much or the other too little
 "The fullest truth, as between equals prevails. The overwhelming majority of the Hungarian nation joyfully as sents to this alliance of free com rades in a righteous struggle"
 The Az Ujsag of Budapest considers it insulting that President Wilson thinks it a relief to IIungarians that it is only desired to crush Germany and not them We have one duty, one enemy, one destiny and are at one in morale,' the newspaper says.

DARkEEI GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, Pretty
Sage Tea end Sulphur Dar11ens
SO Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and 1ustro. or
when it fades. turns gray, dull and life
less. is caused by a lack Of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and lnen 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 mixture
improved by the addition Of other ingredi-
ents by asking al any drug store for so
cent bottle OF "Nyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell Il has been applied. You
Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through Your hair, tax
ing one small strand at Il time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sui phur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and Iustre and Gives it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage ana Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and a youthful appearance to the
hair 1t is not intended for the cure
mitigation or prevention Of disease.

TWENTY-ONE MILLIONS FOR
WISCONSIN EDUCATION

Approximately twenty-one millions
in 1914-15 and twenty-five millions
in 1856 We're spent for public edu-
cation in Wisconsin, according to the
biennial report of the State Depart
ment of Public instruction.
Wisconsin's income from perma-
nent sources is very small. At least
ninety-five per cent of the states
school money comes from current
tax. Except in the case of the uni
versity the schools are practically
supported by tax money.
The report section On school
finances analyses wealth per child of
school age and the average tax for
educational purposes in the state.
Thus if the public school system
costs the state twenty-one millions
that cost amounts to a state tax OF
GA mills. This includes tax for the
public schools, university, normal
schools, special state aids, etc.
Counties are on the whole richer
per child than are cities. The taxes
on the whole are much lower in the
counties. The average local tax for

A WIDE CONTRAST

The vote of California this year
was astonishing in more ways than
one. For instance it shows a total
of nearly $4,000 for Hughes and Will
son and of more than a million for
all parties. This is better than forty
five per cent of the entire population
Of the state. Part of it may be ex-
planned by the increased interest of
the women in their exercise Of the
suffrage. 1t is interesting to COM
pare this California percentage with
that of Mississippi, where less than
four per cent of the population is pri-
vileged to cast the electoral vote Of
that State.

may occasionally live for a long time

The health department of great
state (not wisconsin, requires that
a person who has died Of tuberculosis
may not be given a public funeral
except the body be wrapped in dis
infectants and contained in a sealed
metal casket. This is not merely an
old antiquated idea. 1t is pointed to
with pride by those in authority as
evidence Of the care exercised in
safeguarding the public health.
AS health protection measure, it
is worse than tommyrot. 1t is a
misleading, tyrannical, and benighted
display of force that is unWarranted
by any modern conception of the
manner in which this disease, at
least, may be spread. If there is
one time when a consumptive is alb
solutely safe, it is when he is dead
In another state, man, who holds
himself out as an authority on tuber-
culos1s, stated that large amount
of consumption in a certain neigh
bOrhOod could be accounted Dor by
the alleged fact that the people drank
we'll water which was polluted by
drainage from a cemetery in which
a large number of people who had
died of consumption We're buried
This is likewise nothing but non
sense in the face Of scientific know
ledge concerning bacteria and con-
tagious disease.
The real harm that comes from
such misleading actions and talk as
cited above, lies in the fact that the
truth is crowded out Of the minds of
people who can and do believe such
things. Nobody Who really under
stands how tuberculosis and most
other contagious diseases are spread
by coughing, sneezing, splitting, and
talking could make such mistakes.
The health department which spends
its money and energy on policing
the burial Of the dead will have lit
tie left to devote to the living.
When We change our nonsensical
views and superstitions concerning
the spread Of germ diseases we shall
have a fair chance to get lid Of con-
tagious disease And We shall not
make much progress until we do.
One thing that everybody should
know concerning disease germs is
that they are not leaping Or flying.

NOW no GIT RID OF STONE.

r~HERE is a nationwide demand that Senator stone
n be deposed as chairman Of the Senate Committee
On Foreign Relations in favor OF a Senator whose 10y
atty to America is beyond question suspicion
This demand seems to have been born spontaneously
and is being voiced by leading in every
section Of the country.
II is pointed out with unanimy that is most signh-
cant that the safety OF the nation may depend upon this
rharmanship being held by who is in full SYM
pathy with the patriotic sentiment Of the vast major
lty OF American citizens and who has the courage and
desire to support the President in his efforts TO defend
American lives and ships against submarine piracy
For two years Gum Shoe Bill" stone has been con-
sisently persistent in his efforts to ham-strng the
government of the United States in its diplomatic deal
ngs with Germany.
His final Of treachery in throwing the tremendous
influence Of his position the side Of eleven other
Senators in the shameful ilibuster perfectly con-
sistent with his record
There is doubt that in his Senatorial capacity
"Gum Shoe Bill" will continue to give aid and comfort
TO Germany But it is unthnkable that he should be
permitted TO continue to occupy that position in the
Senate which gives him the largest opportunity for
harm.
We have been asked how the ordinary citizen may
help to influence the Senate depose Stone from the
charmanship.
Our suggestion is that you send a telegram letter
post card to the Senators from this State Address

The Road is Cleared
From the New York Tribune)

In calling an extra session Of Con-
gress for April 16 next President VIII
son has done the right thing. An ex-
ira session OF the 65th Congress was
indispensable. not only that Amer
lcan sea rights should be properly
maintained, but primarily that the
work OF securing the nation against
attack should be completed.
The sense OF the country I'm the
matter of German aggression has been
disclosed by the action Of the Senate
in amending its rules No one can
mistake the determination Of the peo-
pie Of the United States to support the
President in a policy TO resist Ger
man methods and pretensions and to
protect American lives and rights at
sea. II Wr. Wilson desired an express
sion of national opinion in advance of
action, he has had II.
The country, having made its de-
cision manifest, will not now hesitate
to insist that its decision be express
/ ed, both by Congress and by the Pres
ident, in firm, brave and definite &C
ton. Our ships wait in our harbors
our citizens are exiled in foreign
lands, unable to return TO their homes
because Of the German murder threat

man ships are being blockaded, not
