Must Tell on Demand.

London, Feb. There are no Sc
crets from the state in war time.
Lawyers, doctors, priests in the CON
fessional -- all are included in the
phrase, person or persons Of any
class or description who must tell
on demand, under the British defense
of the realm act.
The issue has been pointedy raised
in Ireland, where the military authori.
ties have arrested a lawyer, H. 0.
Moran, and his client, James Ryan,
for refusing to state how certain doc.
uments read in a Limerick law case
came into their possession.
In statement justifying the posi-
ton of parliament in abolishing the
hitherto inyiolable secrecy which has
surrounded the relations of lawyer
and clienr, doctor and patient, or
priest and parishioner, Sir William
Bull, one Of the leading legal lights of
the house of commons, says:
THE safety and defense of the
realm override everything. There can
be no question of privileges or Gus
toms intervening in a matter essen.
tial to the welfare of the state. Doc
tors and priests are under exactly the
same obligations as lawyers, to give
information to the competent military
authority who demands it.
Many prominent people have al
ready discovered how very extensive
are the powers of the executive author.
tiles under the war time laws. Moth
ing has appeared in the newspapers,
or could appear, about certain occur
rences of which sensational stories
may perhaps be told after the war.
People have been called upon to re.
veal all sorts of things which they
never expected to have to account
for"

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HA|RDARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to
Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark
gray hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes
or mars the face. When it fades,
turns gray, streakod and looks dry,
wispy and scraggy, just an application
or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances
Ats appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a o.
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dan
drulf, stop scalp itching and falling
hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell
It has been applied You simply damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair has disappeared
and after another application it be-
comes beautifully dark and appears
glossy, lustrous and abundant.

Couch is held without bond, having
been bound over yesterday after brief
preliminary hearings before Justice Of
the Peace ponnell Only two witnesses
were introduced by the state in the
cases-Miss Lucille Leslie, teacher at
the Wheeler school, and Lee Craig,
chauffeur.
Miss Leslie identified Couch as the
man she saw talking to Miss Dunn
in the Wheeler school. hall a moment
before she heard the fatal revolver
shot on the morning of January is.
Miss Dunn had looked at her so ap-
pealing as she and Couch passed her,
Miss Leslie said, that she knew some
trouble was up between them. and
Miss Leslie hid her face in her hands.
AT the sound Of the revolver report
she glanced down the hall, saw Miss
Dunn plunge forward and fall and saw
Couch walk away from the body, Miss
Leslie said.
Chauffeur Testifies.
Craig told about driving Couch to
the neighborhood of the Wheeler
school from 24l4 South Harvey ave.

After the bill passed the house it
hung up in the Senate Indian COM
mittee more than thirty days when
the payment item was finally retained
in the bill on a tie vote and the bill
fayorably reported to the senate.
When the bill came up in the senate
neither of the Oklahoma Senators
Were present and the payment was
stricken out OF the bill without oh.
lection by any one.
The bill is now in conference. Con.

being the House couferees and Sena-
tors Ashurst, Meyers and Clapp rep.
resOn,ing the senate It is understood
that the senate managers opened the
conference by laying down the edct
that tue payment must be eliminated
from the bill or no bill would be pass
ed. The House conferees were equal
ly as insistent that the payment must
be included. The Oklahoma delega-
tion in the House consisting of Carter.
Ferris, Thompson, Hastings, Nc
Cliutic, Murray, Davenport and Nor
gan have completely defeated all op-
position to this payment in the House
but it is necessary for the bill to pass
the senate before it becomes a law.
Payment cannot be authorized until
Senators succeed in doing some such
effective work as members OF the
House have already accomplished. If
the bill be passed at this session of
congress the funds will be available
for distribution sometime during the
coming summer but if the bill fails
no payment will be possible before
lato in the summer or fall of 1918,
eighteen months or two years hence.

DENMARK MAY GET IN WAR
Now is Time to Regain Lost Prov.
inces, lnterventionists Say.

a growing desire for Intervention in
the war is being manifested in Den.
mark, where the conservatives are
asserting that now is the time to get
back the lost provinces of Schleswig-
Holstein. Premier Zahle's neutral
supporters are growing fewer in nun.
ber though he still remains control
over the Riksdag
The conservatives point out that
this is the time, if ever, to get back
the lost provinces, and say that an
attack on Germany from the north
might have the effect of ending the
war, This, they add, would really be
a humanitarian step, Those less hotly
in favor of intervention argue for Il
policy Of waiting until Germany is
wavering, then stepping in to deal the
death blow and thus earn a reward
from the Allies reward that the
Danes are hopeful will mean the res.
toration of their one.time provinces.

Laura Armstrong, 12-year-old ad-
opted daughter Of c. O. Armstrong,
residing about six miles from Quinion,
Billings county, was found dead a few
rods from the ranch house Tuesday
afternoon, says the Dickinson Press of
last week. Strychnine was found in
a pocket of her dress, and it is believ-
ed that she took her own life. Parents
of the girl are FRUSTRATED with grief,
and can ascribe no reason for the act,
if it becomes certain that she took the
poison with suicidal intent. Monday
morning the girl left home, saying she
intended going short distance away
to pick some flowers. She seemed at
that time to be in the best of spirits
and was singing as she left home.
When she did not return in the even
ing, search was instituted, but the
body was not found until Tuesday af-
ternoon. Face downward she lay, only
short distance from home, and par
