TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy and youthful with simple mix ..
 ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to- use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called ''Wyeth's s Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is that. be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is de- lightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease.

of this kind, that makes it an of- fence to give out such information. No woman wants a child a year, and if men were not hypOcrites they would acknowledge that they do not, either It's ruinous to the wife to give birth to child every twelve month, ruinous both mentally and physically.
 Now all women of means know how to avoid child bearing. It's the poor woman who needs the informa ton, and she is deprived of it by law. That such a law exists is a terrible indictment of our country, and that the justices should have sent Mrs. Byrne to the workhouse for thirty days is an outrage.
 Women Arc Helpless.
 But what can we do? Even when we organize to forward the birth con- trol movement we are practically helpless because of this law making it criminal offense to give out the nec- essary information to wives. The only thing we can do, besides helping as we have helped by supporting the clinics and giving other aid, is to work along faithfully until we women get the franchise and can have the law re- pealed.
 eff Mrs. Byrne is fined. we women who stand for birth contro; would gladly help pay it. And We must wipe out this hypocrisy which tries to make us think it is shameful to tell the truth. Of course, Mrs. Byrne's case will be appealed. And we women will stand by her.
 Mrs. William L. Colt said that as a member of the Committee of One Hundred she felt the greatest indigna- tion at the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Byrne. "She and her sister are doing an excellent work, but, o1 course. it is consid cred illegal under , the law. The only way we can helr such women and promote the birth l movement is by constantly breaking this law until people see and realize 1 how foolish it is.
 1T consider Mrs. Sanger a pioneer and her sister one also. I have lived on the east side and I know what ii means to a poverty stricken family tc have many children. They can't af i ford it and they should be taught how 1 to regulate the size of their families Personally shall be glad to help Mrs Byrne in any way that a woman can. l Women interested in the birth con | trol movement are organizing in varl , ous groups, each of which is taking hold of one feature of the work. Ther'
 will be a big rally in Carnegie hall ol l January 29 under the auspices of birtl control leaders with prominent wom en as speakers. Probably Mrs. Sange l will be one of the speakers.

DON'T NEGLECT KIDNEYS
Swa1np-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescrip-
 tion, Overoomes Kidney Trouble.

1t is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to remarkable degree and do tremendous amount of work in cemoving the poisons and waste mat ter from the system by Altering the blood.
 The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as 'ame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or .ediment, sallow complexion, rheuma- tism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid lore serious trouble.
 An ideal herbal compound that has Nad most remarkable success as a -idney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root. There is ,othing else like it. It is Dr. Kill ,er's prescription used in private ractice and it is sure to benefit you. let bottle from your druggist.
 However, if you wish first to test his great preparation send ten cents 70 Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the New Britain Daily Herald.

TAX COMMISSION
 SPLIT IN OPINION
Miller Dissents From Report Of
 Baldwin and Stadtmuller

Hartford, Jan. 23.-The commits sion on taxation appointed in 1915 and made up of Simeon F. Baldwin, Frank Stadtmuller and, Guy Miller made it's report in pamphlet form to the general assembly today. It's gen. eral conclusions are that it is safe to say that "our system of tax laws is in principle we'll adapted to the nature of our people and their oc- equations in life. They need some amendments to make them work more smoothly and more efficiently"
 The commission recommends for enactment among other bills which it has prepared the following: Increas- ing the powers of the state board of equalization; requiring town assessors to revalue all real estate every five years; relinquishing to the towns the interest of the states in fees for li
 quor licenses; establishing an annual state tax on towns; exempting public securities from taxation; eXempting testamentary gifts to charitable cor poratons from succession taxes, in creasing the exemptions from taxa tions on certain articles of household or personal use; allowing taxation of securities registered with the state treasure based on their real face value, limiting the time for putting claims for back taxes against es- tates of deceased persons; for notice to town assessors of the registration of motor vehicles; imposing a uni- form franchise tax on all insurance companies of the state and concern | ing taxation of bank deposits.
 Miller D1ssents.
 From the general conclusions of the ] commission MT. Miller dissents, say ing: T am of the opinion that laws
 incapable of anything like fair admin 1stration should be either changed so
 that they may be fairly administered
 or should be abolished altogether. l believe in the substitution of an in-
 come tax for the present property tax | on intangible personal property and
 such items of tangible personal prop erty as cannot be reached by the pres 1 ent property tax"

keep pace with the advance in the
price of commodities and an issue of
80, 20 and 10-sen bills is under con-
sideration and may be issued toward

NAMED AERIAL HIGHWAY
IN HONOR OF WILSON

Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 16.-Plans for
ac.cplane jitneys, as safe Gs flivver.
and aerial highways criss-crossing
the American continent with seven
mile stops, are occupying the time,
genius and energy OF Orville Wright
Dayton inventor, who. with his
brother, made the aeroplane prac-
tical. Wright Is not much interested
in battle cruisers Of the air, although
he admits they are important to win
tho war. Wright views the aero
plane as a messenger Of peace and
not tool Of Mars. Hence his activ-
ity in behalf Of aero-jitneys.
A dozen years ago the first sue
cessful flight OF heavier than air
machine was made by the Wright
brothers here. Orville Wright now
believes the next ten years will mark
oven greater use OF the air machines.
"As soon as the war Is over I ex-
pect to see the whole country map
ped out with aerial highways" says
Mr.. Wright "Along these routes, say
every seven miles. there will be
alighting places and hangers. Thus
with a person hvinv from half
mile to a mile above ground, It will
be possible to glide 20 the newt land
inp rlace, should engine trouble de-
ye,op between stations.
"After the war flying will become
safe, popular and comparatively
cheap."
Wright said that the need was for
a low priced machine. with ebout

Ing space is needed.

In the tests is that they are clear
eyed, keen OF observation and their
