INJUSTICE TO VOLUNTEERS.

Unwittingly the senate at Montpelier
has placed a premium on the service of
the men called to the service under the
draft over the service of the men who
volunteered at the opening of the war
and before the compulsory bill was
passed. The senate has passed a bill
authorizing state pay for the men called
under the draft the same as it was
authorized for volunteers at the open
ing of the war On the face of it the
bill places the drafted man on the same
plane as the volunteer by allowing him
state pay of so per month for a pc
Rod of twelve months. But the bill
that looks so fair and equal in effect
will produce great inequality to the det-
riment of the volunteer.
This is the way it is done: Every
man, drafted or volunteer, gets $50 a
month pay from the federal govern
ment. Under the bill just passed by
the senate he would get $40 a month
additional from the state, total of
$40 a month. Each man when he is
discharged from the service can draw
bonus of 500 from the government
That all looks like perfect equality hut
it is not on account of the different
lengths of service.
Many of the drafted men served two
or three months and did not see any
actual fighting. Suppose a drafted mar
\ served only two months, he would get
from the federal government 500 regu
lar pay and a $50 bonus when dis
1 charged and from the state $40, to
tai of $40, or $40 month for the tins
he was in actual service
Many of the volunteers have haC
eighteen months service, the create
part of it in actual fighting at th'
front and with the army ofoccupatioI
in Germany. Supposing a volunteer ha
had just eighteen months service. H
would draw the $50 month regula
pay or $40: for twelve months of tina
time he would get from the state $40
month or $500 When honorably dis
charged he would draw his $50 bonus
This makes his total compensation TO
eighteen months 1920 or just $40
month. If he served twenty or twenty
four months the monthly pay would b
even lower. This does not compar
favorably with the $40 a month for tn
two-months man.

approve of such discrimination agains

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known local druggist says every.
body is using old-time recipe OF
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre. or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of,sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up a mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade of
hair which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other in
gradients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle of ''Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied.
You just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance-Adv

OUTLETS FOR oRIENTALS.
Japan and British India are overpopu-
lated

Japan and British India are overpopu-
lated. One of the great problems of the
day is to provide an outlet for their mil
lions. In the vast continent of Africa
room should be found for millions of in
dustrious Hindus where the climate is
suitable and the native population is
sparse In Korea and Manchuria the
japanese should be able to locate colonies
that would absorb their surplus man pow
er.
Hindus have done so well in some parts
of Africa, but they should not be colo
nized in white settlements Their caste
.prejudiees and customs of living cannot
be violated without causing trouble They
do best when guided by white men, but
not when they come in direct competi-
ton with them as workmen. Hindus are
peaceful and the masses in India have
taken little interest in politics. As an
English student of India said of them in
the days of the Mutiny, they stood wait
ing with the immemorial patience of the
East to accept the yoke of the conquer
or Mohammedans from India would
assimilate with the Arabs of the northern
parts of Africa. In colonizng Africa
with British Indians it would be well to
segregate the various tribes and religions,
for they are almost as far apart from one
another as they are from Europeans.-Ex.
