Says 1t Is Not Only Unconstitutional,

A propaganda favoring compulsory
social or health insurance is being
disseminated throughout this state
its object being to secure an endorse
ment at the next general election of
a proposed constitutional amendment
making social insurance part of our
organic law.
1t may be we'll to call attention to
the origin of social insurance and its
sponsors in this country. In a speecn
recently made before the Commercial
Club of San Francisco by the pres
ent chairman of the State Industrial
Accident Commission, the speaker
rightly placed it's origin with Prince
Bismarck, who adopted it as sop
to be thrown to the discontented wage
earners Of Prussia. The system was
born of German kultur and in tha1
country has reached its highest eA
preston, tending by its paterna,isn
to cxtirpate the individual. 1t ha'
been effective in killing initiative ant
destroying se.I reliance on the par,
cf the German people, making then
entirely subse,v ent to the state am
lerverting the :crue object of govern
mental activities.
"Until this country declared wa
against the imperial German govern
mont the advocates of social insur
ance founded all their arguments OF.
German experience. The German the
ory of state is the logical outcome Of
paternalism of the social insurance
order, which results in the establish
nlent of a ruling class and servil
class. The United Stntes is mar hal
ing nj Its resources to defeat Prus-
sian sm, while the voters and lax
payers of the state are asked to graft
part Of that system Of autocracy or
our state constitution. DR.. F'rederlcl:

EASY To DARkEN
. YOUR GREY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lus-
ire With Sage Tea and
Al Sulphur.

!. When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. For so cents you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients, called "Wy
sth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" !"
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at time. BY morning all crap hair
disappears, and, after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
SraGy, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
al desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with

CASTOR BEANS
FOR IMPERIAL
Government Wants to Grow Seven
Thousand Acres Here-Farm Advis-

Section Because the Pods Split iii
the Summer Time.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Southern
California has been awarded 10000
acres of castor beans, to be grown
under contract for the United States
government. This is one-tenth of the
total acreage. Of this amount, 1000
acres will be planted in Imperial Val
ley, 1000 in Santa Barbara and the
rest scattering. Under the contract
made by the government with con-
tractors they are compelled to pay
the sub-contractors So a bushel. Those
wishing to plant castor beans should
get in touch with the contractors.
Fred Boruff of Los Angeles will plant
5000 acres in Imperial valley; j. B.
Lippincott of Los Angeles will also
,lant probably 1000 acres in lmpe-
rial alley; Vthe Santa Barbara Oil
Company will plant 1000 acres. John
A. Hill, whose home is in Texas, is
planning to plant 1000 acres in Low
e rCalifornia or Mexico.
The government by planting 1O0,-
90 acres Of castor beans, will be able
TO have a reserve supply of castor
oil amounting to 100000 gallons,
in addition to all the other supplies,
which run into hundreds of thousands
Of gallons. This is an insurance that
Ell the battleplanes Of the army and
navy will have plenty of the only

is especially true in the rotary mo-

in India to plant 100000 acres and is

can be successfully grown between
the trees in young citrus groves.
They need about the same water and
labor for the raising Of corn and will
product from 30 to 40 bushels to the

With the growth of air transpor-
tation, whether the war lasts or not,
the growing of castor beans POM
ises to be a permanent business. The
government does not want lands di-
verted from raising wheat, cotton or
other food staples, but is anxious for

STOP CATARRH!' OPEN
N0STRILS AND HEAD
Says Cream Applied In Nostrils
Relieves Head. Colds at Once.

Ali What relief! Your clogged
nostrils open right up, the air pas
sages or your head are clear and you
can breathe freely. No more hawk

headache, dryness-no struggling for
breath at night, your cold or catarrh
is gone.
Don't stay stuffed up. Get a small
bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from your
druggist now. Apply a little of this
fragrant, antiseptic cream in your nos
trils, let it penetrate through every
air passage of the head; soothe and
heal the swollen, inflamed mucous
membrance, giving you instant relief.
Ely's Cream Balm is just what every
cold and catarrh sufferer has been
seeking. It's just splendid.

PROBING STORY
GIVEN BY GIRL
Investigation to Follow Tale Told
BY 19-Yeaf-Old Dubuque
Girl in Davenport
SAYS MEN SENT TO HEB ROOM
Women Detectives and Department
of Justice Officials After
Zone Violators.

Agents Of the department of JUS
tice, military officials and special
detectives employed by the Fos-
dick commission, are investigating
the story told by Lucille thinner
man, 19-year-old Dubuque girl, in
the Davenport police court.
The girl had been rooming at
32212 Brady street, a rooming house
operated by Herbert T. Ross. She
told the police and the court that
her landlord had sent men to her
rooms on two occasions.
The United States district court
will be In special session here in
June, probably about June II, to try
the sedition cases. Before that time
government agents expect to secure
an affidavit from the Zimmerman
girl relative TO her conduct at the
rooming house in question.
The department of justice and
the military officers are determined
to enforce to the letter the five-mile
zone act At the recent session of
United States court Federal Judge
Wade sent two keepers of houses of
i'll fame to prison for one year and
regretted the fact that a more Sc
we're penalty could not be imposed"
The girl was taken to the deten-
ton home pending word from her
parents at Dubuque, which is daily
anticipated IN the way of transpor-
tation to that city.
Three women detectives working
for the Fosdick commission which
is vitality interested in the enforce
ment of the five-mile zone act, have
been assigned to the case, it be-
came known.
