rected that the insane man be taken
to the state hospital. When Police
Chief A. f. Ellicott and squad of
policemen went to the Parks home
the man saw them coming and bar

and then, taking them from the stove,
opened the side door of his home and
rushed on the policemen. They drew
their revoIvers and halted him.
After several hours of waiting, Po-

ed the chief to send his men away.
The chief entered the house and
talked with Parks, who finally put on
his hat and coat and went to the sta

pital.
Parks, it is said, imagined that he
was very rich and had not worked in
months. He has been wandering aim

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color, gloss and youthfulness..

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti-
fully dark and luxuriant. just a few
applications Will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get 50-cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use. This
Is the old time recipe improved by the
addition Of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth S Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
/ disappeared, and, after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

STEEL EARNINGS IMMENSE.
Record for the Last Quarter and the
Year Broke All Records.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81. - The United
states steel corporation crowned with
grandeur the greatest year in it's his
tory yesterday by reporting net earn
ngs Of Sl05.96s3 81 in the final quarter
Of 1916 and a balance for common stock
dividends in this quarter alone which
amounted to $l6G2 for each of the
sos 500 shares. The full year $ income,
before accounting for sinking fund and
depreciation requirements. was 1888
G2j,es6, an increase of S203, 273, 100 over
the preceding ? months.
In order TO make Il profit so ire
meudous as this the corporation must
have done a gross business in excess of
+ ,25o,e goo. total hundreds OF
millions greater than any other year pro-
duccd. This result is estimated on the
proportion of gross income to net in the
preceding ten years, and, when the high
prices of 1916 are taken into considera.
tion, it would seem that the aggregate
/ turnover may have been much larger
than this in value. The largest gross
business previously attained was in
/ 1913, when it aggregated $796,OOO, 900.

CARRANZA TO GET
FULL RECOGNITION
President Wilson Will Send Ambassador
Fletcher to Mexico City
Immediately.

SHINGT0N, Jan. 81. = President
Wilson and his cabinet yesterday decided
to send Ambassador Henry p Fletcher to
Mexico City at once. When Mr.. Fletcher
presents his credentials complete diplo
matte intercourse between the two govern
ments, which was severed in April, 1914
Will be restored. Capt. Frank X. Mccoy,
Third Cavalry, has been designated as mil
itary attache to the embassy. He will sail
with Ambassador Fletcher
With the presentation of Mr. Fletcher's
credentials, this government Will formally
recognize the Caranza authority as the de
jure government of Mexico At present
the Carranza administration has been rec
ognized only as the de facto government
This will be the first recognition given by
the United States to any government in
Mexico since the Madero regime was rec
ognized in the Taft administration
There has been no American ambassador
at Mexico City since Henry Lane Wilson
was recalled after the killing Of Madero
and Huertas assumption of power For
NAL diplomatic intercourse has not existed
since. Huerta handed Charge Nelson
OShaughnessy his passports April 49,
1914, on the landing of American marines
at Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister
cared for the interests of the United States
for u long time, various unofficial agents
have been sent to Mexico on special mis-
sons and since the recognition of the de
facto constituencies government subordi-
nate officials have been IN charge Of the
/ embassy
| Ambassador Fletcher will carry with
him complete Instructions on questions
now pending which President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing desire taken up with
the Carranza government. These include
strong protests already made against pro
visions Of the proposed new Mexican CON
stitution discriminating against foreigners
and their interests.
1t has been contended in Carranzista cir
cles that the withdrawal Of the Pershing
expedition and the sending OF Ambassador
Fletcher to his post would do more than
any other acts by this government to inn
prove relations between the two countries
and strengthen the hands Of the Carranza
authorities Both these courses are now
being followed The formal withdrawal Of
the Pershing expedition is in actual pro
gress.

tain changes may be made in the con

are now in Burlington with the arehi-

to which point the construction has
progressed.
The fact that all but a few men have
been laid off temporarily pending the
decision as to possible changes of plans
ON that floor aroused great curiosity
today and gave rise to the usual crop
Of wild rumors. Superintendent Perry
of the architects said this noon that
he expected to have the matter settled
so that full force would be at work
by tomorrow at the latest, and possibly
tonight.
