are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing give "California
Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive,
but gentle. Millions of mothers keep
this harmless "fruit laxative" handy;
they know children love to take it;
that it never fails to clean the liver
and bowels and sweeten the stomach,
and that a teaspoonful given to-day
saves a sick child to-morrow. It should
be the first remedy given as it always
does good, never any harm.
Ask vour druggist for a 50-cent bot
tle of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits
sold here. See that it is made by "Cali

Winchester Rec3ived No Order
i "Your Excellency also states that
! the British government has ordered
from the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company twenty thousand 'riot guns,'
model 1597, and fifty million 'buckshot
cartridges for use in such guns. This
department saw a published statement
of the Winchester company, the cor
rectness of which the company has con
firmed to the department by telegraph.
In this statement the company cate
gorically denied that it has received an
order for such guus and cartridges from
or made sale of such material to the
British government or to auy other gov
ernment engaged in the present war.
"Your Excellency further calls at
tention to 'information the accuser of
which is not to be doubted,' that eight
million cartridges filled with 'mushroom
bullets' have been delivered since Oc
tober of this year by the I'nion Metallic
Cartridge Company for the armament
of the Euglish army
What the Hemington Supplied
"In reply I have the honor to refer
to the letter of December y), 1914, of
the Remington Arms-Union Metallic
Cartridge Company, of New York, to
Your Excellency, called forth by cer
tain newspaper reports of statements
alleged to have been made by you in
regard to the sale by that comp'anv of
soft-nosed bullets. From this letter, a
copy of which was sent to this depart
ment by the company, it appears that
instead of eight million cartridges hav
ing been sold, only a little over 117,-
000 were manufactured and 109,000
were sold.
"The letter further asserts rhat
these cartridges were made to supply
a demand for a better sporting cart
ridge with a soft-nosed bullet than haul
been manufactured theretofor; and
that such cartridges cannot be used in
the military rifle of any foreign pow
er. The company adds tbat its state
ment can be substantiated anl.l that it
is ready to give you any evidence that
you may require on these points.
"The department is now in receipt
from the company of a complete de
tailed list of the persons to whom these
cartridges were sold. From this list
it appears that the cartridges were
sold to firms in lots of 20 to 2,000 and
one lot each of 3,000, 4,000, 5,000.
Of these only 960 cartridges went to
British North America and 100 to
British East Africa.
"If, however, it can furnish the de
partment with evidence that this or any
other company are manufacturing and
selling for the use of the contending
armies in Europe, cartridges whose use
would contravene The Hague conven
tion. the government would be glad to
be furnished t'he evidence and the
President directs me to inform you
that, in case any American company is
shown to be engaged in this traffic he
will use his influence bo prevent, so
far as possible sales of such ammuni
tion to th e powers engaged in the Euro
pean war, without 'regard to whether
it is the duty of this government upon
legal or conventional grounds to take
such action.
"In view of the publicity Which has
been given to your Excellency's com
plaint addreseed to the department in
these matters, it is taken for granted
tßalt there can bp no objection on your
part to equal publicity being given to
this note and the letter of the Union
Metallic Cartridge Companv addrewdJ
to you on December 10. 1911."

NEW YEAR S IN CHINA
! When All Debts Are Paid and the
Whole Country "Painted Red"
New Year's is the national pay day
in China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time and the man who can 't
raise monev enough to pay his debts
has to go into bankruptcy. The Jaws
are such that the creditor van enter the
j debtor's house and take what he pleases
if there is no settlement. To prevent
such action families clulb together and
make all sorts of compromises to koeip
up the business reputation of the clan.
New Year's is ia igreat day for the
(pawnbrokers. Their shops are crowded
with people who want tp redeem their
best clothes before the new year. There
are crowds, also, who wajit to pawn
other things in order to yet money to
pay their debts, Pawnbrokers receive
high rates of interest, in which they
are protected by the government.
1 he Chinese paint the whole country
j red, figuratively speaking, on New
; Year's day in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them de
notes good luck and prosperity and all
fhe New Year cards and invitations are
on paper of that color. Every child
gets its New Year's present wrapped
in red paper, and red inscriptions are
pasted over the doors of the houses.
These inscriptions bear characters
praying for good fortune, wealth and
happiness and they are posted on each
side of the outer doors of the houses.
New pictures of Chinese generals are
put on the front doors, and in houses
are scoured and made clean. Ex
change.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy
and Thick With a Simple Mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment. 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 stores sell the ready-to-use product
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" for about 50 cents a bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time; by morn
ing 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 applica
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive; besides, prevents dan
druff, itching scalp and falling hair.

OVERWORKING DIGNITY
What Happened When the Minister
Gave the Bridegroom a Timely Hint
A minister was recounting some of
his amusing experiences in marrying
people. '' There's an old custom,'' said
he, " that the 'bridegroom shall kiss the
Ibride immediately after the marriage
ceremony is over. It's a good, prac
tical custom, for it serves more handily
than anything else that I know of to
dissipate the awkward pause that al
most always follows a simple, informal
ceremony. For this reason I keep the
custom alive.
"One day a man whom I shall call
Smith came to the parsonage to be
married. Mr. Smith was a pompous,
consequential little man. The prospec
tive Mrs. Smith was a fine, winsome
girl. After the ceremony Mr. in
spite of his pomposity," did not seem
to know just what was the next thinu
to do, so, as is my practice in such
emergences, I said, 'My dear sir, it is
your 'privilege to salute the bride.' He
turned around and, extending his hand
formally, said, 'Mrs. Smith, T congrat
ulate you.' " —New York Times.

AUSTRIA TO BE HUMBLED
PREDICTS DR. CRAVES
Former Member of Kaiser's Secret
Service Declares That Germany Is
Unfortunate in Its Ally and Wants
Dual Monarchy Disrupted
The disintegration of Austria, ami
that with the consent of Germany, ami
in the very near future, is tho predic
tion of Armgaard Karl Graves, former
menllber of the German secret service
w'ho will 'be at the IMajesfic on TUPS
day evening to talk on secret, service
and the war.
-&#>' '
i
ARMGAARD KARL GRAVES
Dr. Graves makes the assertion that
Germany wants to see Austria humbled,
in spite of the alliance now existing
between the House of Hobenzollern and
the House of 'Hapsburg. Austria, ho
savs, is almost at the end of her career,
and it would not require a great deal
of German diplomacy to bring albout its
disruption.
Germany is unfortunate in its ally,
is the statement made by Dr. Graves,
who asserts that Austria is not liked
'bv the (Balkan States, which would be
too anxious and too willing to
take up arms against Franz Joseph's
army. Bulgaria wants to light against
Austria 'but friendship for Germany
keeps her out of the imbroglio, and the
same applies, he says, to Italy, where
the populace is clamoring to take u-;>
arms against its neighbor, butt out of
consideration for Emperor William re
mains neutral.
These are only a few of the details
connected with the ibig war which l>r.
<5 will dwell uipon in his talk on
Tuesday evening. His remarks will 'be
based solely on factß, facts which have
remained unchallenged 'because of their
veracity. It will be an opportunity
never before afforded, and pro-baibly
never again, to hear at first hand from
one who knows, just what is back of the
struggle, and of the events leading up
to it. Adv.*
