POISON
Of A HIGH TYPE
Mt. Vernon, 111., Dec. 23.—Law
, rence M. Hight, unfrocked Meth- j
odist minister of Ina, 111., who is
on trial here charged with poi
soning his wife, and Mrs. Elsie
Sweetin, charged with poisoning
her husband, may know their fate
by Christmas day.
This became probable Monday
when the defense rested its case
and the court decided to hold
night sessions of the trial.
The defense rested following the
testimony of Dr. C. H. Anderson
of the state hospital for the in
sane.
■U Hight has the mentality of a
10 year old boy,” testified the
superintendent. “He is, however,
able to distinguish right from
wrong, as far as his own acts are
concerned, and I do not believe he
is legally insane. Hight is of
the high moron type. »»

mortality to the Syrians.
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young, Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.
Common garden sage brewed
into a havy tea with sulphur
added, will turn gray, streaked
and faded hair beautifully dark
and luxuriant. Just a few appli
cations will prove a revelation
if your hair is fadi ng, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea
and Sulphur recipe at home,
though is troublesome. An easier
way is to get a bottle of Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound at
any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe im
proved by the addition of other
ingredients.
While wispy, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attrac
tiveness. By darkening your hair
with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, be
cause it does it so naturally, so
•evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time;
by morning all gray Hairs have
•disappeared, and, after another
-application or two, y »ur hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy,
•soft and luxuriant. (Adv.)

Violin Music Wins Freedom for Aged
and Broken Maestro Held by Police
Philadelphia, Dec. 23.—To every
violin there are five strings.
Four are upon the instrument
itself.
The fifth is in the heart of him
who listens.
Yesterday, in the grim rollroom
of police station, an aged and
broken Orpheus waved his magic
bow and wove about his blue
clad audience the spell of his
music.
And when the last strain had
crept from the ancient violin he
emerged a free man from the
shadow of ill-forune and impris
onment.
Shivering in Cold.
This is the story of Andrew
Pouloff, one time maestro, arrest
ed when he was found shivering
in the bitter cold.
At the station house he was fed,
given a bed for the night, and
yesterday was brought before
Magistrate Scott, charged with va
grancy.
Clasping tightly his violin case,
he explained in halting English
that he had fallen upon evil days.
Once, he said, he had been a
noted musician in Poland. In his
student days he had captured sec
ond prize in the great musical
competition at Warsaw. But he
had become old and friendless,
and now he was without work
or a home.
With the natural caution of one
who hefirs many such stpries, the
magistrate pointed to the instru
ment and commanded him to play.
Compelling Strains.
Filling the gaunt building with
the compelling strains of his vio
lin, he lost himself in his melo
dies. Compositions of the masters
echoed where before only the oc
casional syncopated whistling of
a gifted house sergeant had been
heard.
The police listened, deceptively
DEMANDS OF U. S.
MAY LEAVE SCOTS
WITHOUT WHISKY
Edinburg, Dec. 23.—With the
Christmas season approaching, the
home consumer is facing paradox
ical prospects ofi- a whiskey
famine, right in the center of the
liquor industry.
The collossal demand for whis
key for the West Indies, the Ba
hamas and Mexico, together with
the
bootleg supplies and the cessation
of rye distilleries in the Canadian
dry areas, are contributing fac
tors in bringing about this uncom
fortable situation for the local
consumer.
Meanwhile control, of matured
stocks has passed into the hand!
of three corporations, who have
concluded a co-operative working
arrangement for its distribution.
For export trade, the whiskey is
bottled almost directly off the
stills and is shipped when two
or three weeks old instead of the
usual three years.
inscrutable. Magistrate Scott sat
in impassive attention.
The concert over, the musician
dropped his bow, raised his seam
ed and haggard face and awaited
his fate.
Passes Hat.
For a silent moment he was
neglected. Then the magistrate
called for a hat, and when it was
produced he dropped a $5 bill into
it. Smiling broadly, Luentenant
Magowan followed suit, and after
him the patrolmen and a few spec
tators contributed.
Before Andrew Pouloff’s aston
ished eyes $20 was heaped upon
the bar of justice and transfer
red to his pocket.
The old man falteringly at
tempted to express his thanks, but
his command of English was not
equal to the task.
Universal Language.
In despair he fell back upon the
universal language. Snatching his
violin, he played a rapturous aria,
his bow flying, his gnarled fin
gers rippling over the strings.
Then he bowed many times, grate
fully and smiled in response to the
outburst of applause.
POISONED LIQUOR BLINDS
VICTIM IN MACON
Macon, Dec. 23.—George M. An
drews, said to be from Birming
ham, Ala., is at a local hospital
suffering from the first poisoned
liquor of the Christmas season.
Andrews was picked up by the
police last night. It was observed
that he was practically blind. On
his person the police found a bot
tle containing wood alcohol and
grape juice, Doctors fear that
thejf cannot save Andrews’ eyes,
but they may save his life.

WOMAN FINDS SON,
LOST 6 MONTHS, BY
PICTURE IN PAPER
Camden, N. J., Dec. 23.—Mrs.
Russell Steimling, Philadelphia,
had almost given up hope of ever
seeing again her two year old
son, Russell Earle Steimling, who
disappeared last June.
Yesterday Mrs. Steimling read
in an afternoon newspaper of a
two year old baby boy that had
been abandoned in this city.
A photograph of the abandoned
baby was published with the story
and Mrs. Steimling’s hopes were
revived as she thought she recog
nized her son's likeness.
Today she came to police head
quarters here in Camden and
the abandoned baby was shown to
her.
With a cry of joy she rushed
to take him in her arms and de
clared over and over again that it
was her Russell.
Later, when she had become
more collected, she identified the
boy by a scar on his wrist.
The beaver is easily raised in
captivity.
There are only 75 eggs of the
great auk in existence.

U. S. Is Spending $58,000,000 J .
Yearly to Enforce the Dry Law
Washington, Dec. 23.—Federal
prohibition enforcement through
