The minister said he feared that when the purport of the note became known disorders might occur, particularly in the eastern districts, as the policy of the Central Powers meant interruption of foreign trade and grave dislocation of the internal life of the country.

PROF. TAFT FLAYS GERMAN POLICIES

CONCORD, N. H., Feb. 1. A grossly unwarranted extension of the right of blockade was the characterization of the new German policy of unrestricted submarine warfare made by former President Wm. H. Taft, who addressed the state legislature today. He said in part: "The dangerous crisis In our relations with Germany forced by her declared intention to sink neutral vessels engaged in trade with France and England, their crews and passegers, without warning, by submarine warfare, is a grossly unwarranted extension of the right of blockade which belligerents have in international law

against neutrals. It greatly empha

sizes the necessity for hastening ade

quate military and naval preparedness against unjust aggression."

COMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT

Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy, thick With a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray,

streaked and faded Lair is grandmother's treatment, 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 youthful

appearance is of the greatest advantage. . Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug Etores sell the ready-to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moiaten your comb or a 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 is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive; besides, prevents dandruff, itching

scalp, and fallinghair. Adv.

DISCOVERY OF LEAK BECLOUDS PURPOSE OF PROBING BOARD

, NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Discovery of what is regarded by many persons as positive evidence of a "leak" on President Wilson's recent peace note has beclouded rather than clarified '.he whole situation now under congressional inquiry. Persons in possession of the socalled "leak" information lost money on the market on "the peace note" period from December 9 to Decmbr 23, it has been testified, while Bernard Baruch, operating, he has sworn, .vithout advanc advices of the President's note, made approximately $500,000. One of the chief purposes of the inquiry having been to learn how "leak" beneficiaries operated so as to reap rich gains, the investigators today are greatly perplexed as to what shall be their next move. F. A. Connelly, a Washineton brok

er and partner of R. W. Boiling, a

brother-in-law of the President, who admits having sent an accurate resume of the note to E. F. Hutton & Co., Wall Street brokers, ten hours before the note was published, swore yesterday that he did not profit by his information. None of the partners of the Hutton firm profited either. E. F. Hutton testified. Summer up, Connelly said that he sent his information to the Hutton house chiefly to make a good impression on it and Hutton said his firm disseminated the information among their correspondents throughout the

country for whatever use they might

COUNTY BOARD ACTS

ON ADVICE OF JURY In speaking of recommendations made by the grand Jury of the Wayne circuit court concerning improvements ' in county institutions, county commissioners said today that they have previously considered most of the innovations suggested in the partial report. "Although we recognize the need of a new women's building at the poor farm, we cannot see our way clear to ask for an appropriation at this time.

Coffee does disagree with many. And in these days of accurate scientific knowledge there's no virtue in appearing astonished when this truth is faced. Caffeine (the drug in coffee, and in tea also) leaves the system in an overworked and debilitated state, and is responsible for various serious ills and discomforts.
