Tl:l utatfnient wan made Monday morntnt; i
I V .Mayor usninnn.
The two bulldinnn were completed re
cently at a'erwt of "X).0OO and have been
In operation but a ahort time. Lank of
funds la Riven as a reaaon for the threat
ened action. Dahlnian declare that the
fur.da for running the fire department un-dr-r
the double ahlft plan, which malntalna
hre, are Insufficient. At the preeent time
the council Is authorized to apportion 1250.
000 for the fire department. The revision
bill ralsni the amount to $2.ono.
lmhlman also elates that the police force
will be reduced If the bill Is vetoed. Insuf
ficiency of funds In this department Is
also tiven as the reason for the cut. The
irvlsed charter raises the amount that can
he apportioned for police purposes from
$:r.0.oon to liNg.ono.
"Personally, I do not tare whether tha
oovernor slornH the bill," says Mayor Dahl
man. "Hut trom the viewpoint of the
pulillc 1 will be extremely sorry. We will
lieoeseartly have to cripple both the fire
und rollce departments. Every one !n the
city knows that these two departments are
handicapped hadly at the present time, but
the vetolr.fr of the bill will hurt them still
worse.
"No other alternative will be the solution.
Under the system if regular Increases our
expenses Increase, annually. The laws pro
vide gradual ralse In salaries until a cer
tain limit la reached. Both departments
hie running to the limit now. It takes
every cent to maintain them.' io the only
way to meet the general Inorease In ex
panses. If additional ' funds are not pro
vided, will be to decrease both forces. That
la what we will do.
"Many other situations will arise, auch
as tha Collection and disposal of garbage
and tha handicap to street Improvements,
but they are not as' important aa the fire
and police board In my opinion."

"' freffve Hlonth Hence.
, Chana-es' In Sunday service at the post
office In compliance with orders recently
received hfre from the department will not
o Into effect for at least thirty days.
This was the statement made this morning
by Jamos I.. YVoodard. assistant postmas
ter. The order demanded the closing of the,
carrier window on Sunday.
Several of the postofflcea in this and
other states have already complied with
the order, t but it is the desire of the offi
cials at the postofflce here to get the
people acquainted . with the order before
putting it Into effect. . The first Sunday In
the coming month may see tha change.
' Now at least SAW people apply for mall
at the carrier window on Sundays. This,
he sava, is purely a liaUlt and can easily
be overcome by the people, so that the
change will not be noticed by them when
put Into effect No other chanxe than the
closing of the Carrier window will be made.
The collections will be as usual and malls
Will- be distributed Sundays.
"The only effect the change will, have,"
aald Mr. YVoodard,, "will be more work for
the carriers. They 'will have to rpt to
work earlier on Monday mornings to han
dle the large malls. The change will also
cause the sale of many more private boxes
among business men."
For the accommodation of the travelln
public, the general delivery window will be
kept open.

Double Shift at the High School
Makes Some Complications.
COMPANY AGREES TO CHANGE
Tickets Are to Be Accepted Between
TiSO In the Morning and S
O'clock In the Afternoon
on School Days.
Threatened by legislation which would
revise the city ordinances regulating the
hours when tickets held by school children
are acceptable, officials of the street rail
way company agreed to extend the hours
Monday morning.
Congressman Sheldon secured a conces
sion from the street railway company to
the effect that tickets held by school chil
dren will be accepted by car conductors
between the hours of 7:30 In the morning
and 5 In the afternoon.
Previously tickets have been good only
between 8 and 10 In the morning and 2 and
5 In the afternoon. These tickets, which
are sold at the rate of thirty for $1. have
been purchased by scKool children for
years. Little difficulty in getting the con
ductors to accept the tickets has arisen,
though occasional complaints hava been
filed.
But when the double shift program was
decided on for the high school the ticket
question was forced on the officials of the
company and the holders of the tickets.
The new plan provides that two sessions
will be held In the high school daily, the
morning aesslon ending at 12:10 and the
afternoon session beginning at 12:30. Thia
shift necessitates practically the entire at
tendance at the high school riding on tha
cars between 12 and 1.

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR.
There Is nothing new about the Idea
of using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great-grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using -"sage tea." Whenever
their hair fell out or took on dull,
faded or streaked appearance, they
jnnde a brew of sage leaves and ap
plied It to their hair with wonderful-.
ly beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time, tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
brew. This Is done by skillful chem
ists better tban we could do It our
selves, and all wo have to do Is to call
for the ready-made product. Wyeth's
Sase and Sulphur Hair Remedy, con
taining ease in the proper strength,
T. ith the addition of sulphur, another
old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggMa to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re
funded If It falls to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation Is offered to the
public at fifty rents a bottle and is
