JOINT DISCUSSION OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 HELD IN NEW YORK
ObjectOrs in Same Class as Nonbelievet ts in League, Declares Senator
 Hitd dhcOck
By Asso ciated Press

New York, April 7.-Acceptance of the league of nations covenant as great compromise of natiPn willing to unite to end war, and itF rejection unless it meets the requiremfts of that somewhat old-fashioned idea of America first" were the pleas of the two United States senators who participated in a joint dis cussion of the leaglEe before the economic : club here tonight.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chair man of the Senate foreign relations com mittee, was the adYocate of the covenant in virtually it's present form. Senator Lenroot of Wiscohsin advocated the America first idea.
 Opening the discqssion, Senator Hitch cock declared that persons who object to the present league plan should be placed in the same class with those who believe in no league.
 Its this league or a return of war" he declared. 'Thi4 league or no league at all."
 The covenant in it's present form, he as- serted, was a great compromise by the IA allied nations arrived at after long discussion by all the parties and com promise in which each nation yielded points which it pre- eferred to include.
 "It is not just whh we want" he said; 'it is not what England wanted, or France or Japan. II is a compromise
 If the nations ratify it, it will become fact If it is rejected that ends for the present and probably indefinitely any chance for securing the reform. It means that despair would spread over Europe. The nations would Eo to work preparing for war. And it med ms something else, it means the growth of socialism, bolshe- vism and anarchy"
 Senator Hitchcock said he agreed with persons who wished Ia specific reservation of the Monroe doctrine included in the covenant and hoped it would be possible for it to be included. He was not willing, however, he said, to include it if specific inclusion means spefific inclusion of Ja- pans demand for lowering of the bars OF of Frances demand for maintenance of grdat military machine
 Remember he sAid, i've are only one of IA nations. We must give as well as take That which lis worth getting is worth paying for
 But whether resolved or not, there is nothing in the covenant inconsistent with the Monroe doctriud The chief idea of the league is to preNet aggression every where in the world

If You must have your meat every day,

occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef.

become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney

urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the

obliging you to seek relief two OF three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush OFT the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in u glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with

to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,

SAGE TEA DARKENS
! HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
u body can Apply.

The uso of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture vas applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition of other in
gradients. which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair. taking mi
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, II becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t Is not. Intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.
