He Replies to Demand For His Views CHICAGO, Jan. 5. "While the Iaguofof Nations, even as modified by the reservations adopted, does not take the form which I believe it should, namely, ludicial rather than political, I think it ia the part of wisdom now to ratify it with' such reservations" as adopted by the Senate, said Gov. Frank O. Lowden in a letter today replying to United States Senator W.

E. Borah, of Idaho, who had requested Gov. Lowden's position on the League of Nations. Objection Removed In the letter Governor Lowden said: "The League of Nations, as submitted to the Senate seemed to me jto be subject to grave objections. These objections in tho main, I think, have been removed by the reservations adopted by the Senate The instrument, as so modified, as I understand it, does not bind the United States to participate in the 'racial and dynastic battles of the Old nor does it involve 'entangling alliances or partnerships with foreign powers in American Time to Ratify "I do not believe 'the time has come when we should abandon the policy of no entangling It may be that America again wi'l deem it her duty to participate in some foreign war as she participated ini the last, but I think she can depended upon, when that time does come to decide for herself, through constitutional means, where her duty lies, just as she did before While the.

League of Nations. even as modified by the reservations adopted, does not take the form which I believe It should, namely, judicial rather than political, I think it Is the part of wisdom now. to ratify it with such reservations.

Following the rendering of today's opinion, Assistant Attorney General Frierson who has been in charge of I the prohibition cases in the Supreme ment of Justice was ready to begin the prosecution of all persons who have sold beer since the passage last October 2 of the Volstead act. WETS WILL WAGE NEW FIGHT UPON 18th AMENDMENT NEW YORK, Jan.

5. Another. fight for 2.75 per cent, beer will be made soon before the United States Supreme Court, according to Emory R. Buckner, who was associated with Ellhu Root as counsel for Jacob Ruppert, against whom the United States Supreme Court decided today. Mr.

Root's "firm is counsel for Christian Feigenspan, a Newi Jersey brewing corporation, which is seeking to restrain enforcement of the eighteenth amendment In New Jersey. The bill of complaint in the case says that 2.75 beer is not intoxicating and that' "such fact has definitely determined and demonstrated by experience." ''The question whether 2,75 beer can be" sold after the eighteenth amendment is effective must bo decided in the future," said Mr. Buckner. "Today's decision affects Its status only under war time prohibition. To DARKEN GRAY HAIR, LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally that Nobody can tell.

Hair that loses Its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hulr. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hnir Is so attractive use only this old time recipe. Nowaduys we got this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottlo of "Wyeth's Sage, and Sulphur Compound," which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You Just dumpen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hnlr disappears; but what delights the ladles with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound Is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings bpek the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance abundance.

Adv. CENSUS "HUNT" IS ON ik Wc have with us today, the census man or, in many cases, the census lady. This is one time when you're supposed to tell your right name. The young lady in tho above picture is one of Uncle Snm'sycrnsus sleuths and she's getting the full dope on the whole" family from the lady of the house. day's decision relates only to the war powers of Congress.

When the amendment is 'effective questions will be raised not only as to the validity of its passage, but also whether or not non intoxicating beer can be sold under it." SALOONMEN HERE DOWNCAST OVER COURT DECISION The announcement of the Supreme court's decision upholding the Volstead prohibition enforcement act as constitutional and declaring 2.75 per cent beer illegal, cast gloom among local saloonmen last night and thoir next move will' be awaited with general interest. Many saloonkeepers here contend that they cannot continue to "operate with the one half of one per cent as the trade does not take to it readily. One saloonkeeper, evidently voicing the sentiments of a numbe of his colleagues In the business, stated that they decided to take chan.ee last week in lifting the licenses for the month of January with the hope" that the Supreme court's dec'slon would be favorable, but now that it has been adverse to 1 their interests there is nothing to do but close up and seek a more profitable 'business. Very few local saloonkeepers have any stock of liquors in their cellars, and if they qu't the game it w.ll be with little but the furniture and "good will" to take along to more congen'll quarters. Several local breweries have man" barrels of the 2.75 brew, in their vaults, and what dispos'tion.

will be made of this stock has not been announced.
