Ret rsMt OwtasSMf OTP mm SAGE TEA WILL DARKEN FADED AND GRAY HAIR There Is nothing new about ths Idea of using Sage for restoring the color of the hslr. Our grandmothers kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by the use of simple "Sago Tea." Whenever their hsir fell out or took en a dull, faded or streaked appearance, they made a brew f Sage uteres, and applied It to their balr with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time tiresome methojl of gather ing the herbs and making the tea. This Is done by skillful chemists better than we could do it ourselves; and ail we have to do Is to call for the ready-made pro duct. Wrath's Bags and Kulphur Hair Remedy, containing Sage In ths proper strength, with the addition of Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy. This preparation gives youthful color and beauty to the hslr, and Is one of the best remedies you ran use for dandruff, dry. feverish. Itching sralp, and falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle from your druggiat today, and you will be surprised at the quick results. All druggists sell It. under guarantee that the money wtl be refunded If the remedy Is net exactly as represented. Sp-.-ta! agn". Shsanan ft McCasmeU lv,.g Os. L sawassasssmssssssss At the meeting of the city council !n committee of the whole Monday after noon City Treasurer L're called attention to the condition of the street Improve ment fund, pointing out what he con siders the bad management of bond Is sues and what ought to be done to save money for the city. The greatest loss will be on the bond Issue of 1911 which the treasurer says can be avoided if tb? city will at once secure It for investment of idle funds. Mr. l're presented a tabulated state ment which shows that the balance tn hand of the street Improvement fund baa Increased from 7,J.t la 19 to iilT.TT; tn 1312. and that with the col lections of this year, after all charges and other deductions are made, the prob able balance at the end of the current year will be. COS. 72s. 88. On this sum tta city will collect 1 per cent, while on the bond Issue of UU, that amounts to S3s. 'M. the Interest rate Is 4 per cent. This difference. Mr. Vre says, will cost the city more than Sl.Out a month unless the 1S13 bond Issue Is purchased by Uie city. Tea Many Bonds Sold. He adds further: "A second reason for taking over the S2S8.MS Issue of bonds Is because the Issue has been miserably conceived. In twenty-four out of sixty-seven districts there is an over Issue of bonds. This over issue In these districts amounts to SCRS.n. That Is. we are selling as.KS.H too many bonds, and will actually have to hold all of that money In the treasury at S per cent until the bonds In those districts faU due In lilt, paying ' per cent per annum, and the first bonds fail ing due In these districts In UU amount to SMuft. Money Jdlet Interest Graves. "To put It another way, we are going to have money from the bond sale Itself in 191X as soon as the sale is consum mated, with which to discharge all of the bonds due in 1914 In those districts, and by 1914 we will also have In the treasury whatever money Is paid In text in these districts. "The bond Issue of Februsry S. 191 1 is mesersbly conceived from another standpoint, vis.: The maturities of the bonds In thst Issue are altogether too late. During the whole life of that bond Issue our cash on hand Is going to in crease on account of desperately 1st maturities of bonds. We can save for the city SnO.000 on that one Issue of bonds, simply by purchase of them. The city will lose that toO.OOO If we let the bond Issue get away from us. "The matter of too large warrants be ing issued to pay for special Improve ments Is proved by a simple statement of the case. We have In the banks not less than $75, (M which Is applicable to payments on warrants for work done. We cannot use it because the comp troller's office hss paid for the work with too large warrants." Working Out the ,-Jhone Company's Pension System Between 300.000 and ftfO.000 will be re quired to meet the obllgstlons of ths pension system which the American Tele phone and Telegrsph company will put Into effect on July 1. "In many cases," said President Vsll In a recent interview, "a pension plan does not mean a great deal to a company financially. It means more to the West ern Union, because It hss a large num ber of employes who have long terms of service to their credit. "Regarding pensions for American Tel ephone and Telegraph employes," Mr. Vail said, "we hope to have a plan worked out before the end of the year. Pen sions for telephone employes is a very different matter from pensions for tele graph employes. The Isttcr are almost all of one class, the operators; and tlia average term of . service Is long. Tele phone employes are divided into a largo number of classes. "To Illustrate how difficult the problem Is, there Is a large class of girl opera tors whose average term of service Is comparatively short. We have many operators in our employe who have been with the compsny for many years, but they are decided exceptions. We must work out some pension plan which will be equitable for the operators; mean while. Individual cases are to be dealt with on their merits, so thst employes are not losing by reason of delay In per fecting the plans as a whole." Regarding telephone conversations be tween New York and San Francisco, Mr. Vail said that It hsd not as yet been decided whether to utilise Western Union wires from Denver to the coast or string new wires. He believes the Transconti nental telephone line will be In operation before the end of the year, but csnnot at this time approximate the definite date.

Payten, District tear I Jarer, Mingles (ares with Red l.liiaor aad Resell Is Disaster. Bacchus let the wind out of the tlrei on the wheels of Justice for a while yes terday. In the old days ths wheels of Justice got clogged occasionally, but In this advanced age the really artistic method of teasing the old lady Is te kr the wind out of her tires. It seems that John F. Payton. 'S Webster street, is some disciple of Bacchus. He always votes for the afore said old sport, and whenever the occa sion bobs up tries to get the old scout to throw his hat Into the ring. Payton has been serving on the dis trict court petit Jury and last week was put at work on the case of Byron Ingle hart against the street mil way compsny for SI 0,000 damages for taking liberties with Mrs. luglehart's hip. Friday Was Ills Jonah Day. Friday the case was continued until yesterdsy. Payton drew his pay and struck out in the direction of the nearest relief station. Shortly he was taking his turn, saying. "This one's on me,' and before the time came to hit the high road for home and hash he was saying: "Come, fill the cup, and in the fires of spring Tour winter garment of repentance fling; The bird of lime hath but a little way To flutter snd the bird Is on the wing.'' Only not in that fancy diction. Pay ton Is no poet If he Is something of an sstronomer. About S o'clock Payton found things getting quiet-he hasn't lived in the city a great while and he went home to his room at the home of Mrs. J. Gray, think ing hs could create as much excitement there as anywhere. This turned out to be the correct dope. Gettlag lata Action. ,Two or three minutes after Payton pranced into his raises the neighbors knew he hsd arrived. He started In on the front door. After telling It what hs thought of it snd saying, "You daren't back it up or down," he made a vicious avsautt upon It. Reaching his room, he turned his attention to a chsir against which he had a long-standing grudge. When he finished there was not enough left even to have a grudge against. Some friendly neighbor told the police Payton was sick and they went out to study the situation. Psyton decided hs was going to run the police department and msde announcement to this effect The officers doubted his word. They took him down to talk it over with the csptaln, who was busy and simply said, "Throw him In." Monday morning Payton was up before Police Judge Foster charged with being drunk snd disorderly. He didn't have money to pay fine, but said he ought to be turned loose because he was i Juror and he would bet Justice was at a standstill right now because he wasn't in his seat in the Jury box. Judge Foster said he would let him off with a fine of S3 and costs, a total of 17-50. He was allowed to go to the court house and get S3 he had coin ing, which, with H'jO more he had, got Iris freedom. But when Payton got back to the court house Judge Sutton had found out all about It. excused him from the case and from the Jury panel and the case aas being tried to eleven men. Justice hsd been delayed about an hour by Pay tons absence before the cause was learned and the agreement made to go on without him. .

SLEEPER HAS ENORMOUS WATCH OF FOREIGN MAKE The biggest thing about Henry Gris ham. found sleeping upon the sidewalk near Thirtieth street last night, was his wstch. The timepiece was si moat as large as a "Htg Ben' alarm clock. It waa made In Belgium and contained numerous foreign innrtptions and marks. An odd feature of the watch was that it was made for use under the twenty-four-hour system, so that the owner could tell when the Uth. ltth or 'teenth hour arrived up to the !ttb SHORT CUT THROUGH ALLEY LEADS TO A SANDBAGGING In trying to reach his room at 114 South Fifteenth atreet by. a "short cut" through an alley, Joe Bochnlck, an em ploye of Allen Bros, wholesale company, ran Into trouble.

In a few days the grass will be green, the trees will be budding and the smell of fresh plowed earth will be in the air. Then will nature beckon you to the open country. . Spring time is motoring time. Then dwellers in the cities and town? find that their motor cars bring them close to the spring touched country. Those who live in the country find their trips to town a memorable pleasure rather than a task. . ... , It ia Important to remember, however, that the many pleasure of spring time motoring sre much increased by the use of ear ' of such dependability and staunchness as to leave no doubt as to the outcome of the trip, The Chalmers Is such a car. It runs uniformly well day after day and month after month. It adds much to motoring pleasure by the certainty of Its performance. Not only that, it wears much longer than most cars of similar price. You will be surprised to look ' over the Chalmers' records of mileage made by private owners. - , " ' This continued use of the same car, if it be one of economical up-keep. will tremendously reduce the loss caused by depreciation- the heaviest expense borne by the motorist who finds It necessary to change automobiles often. ' ' , . We can prove on the testimony of very reliable men who have driven their Chalmers cars tena"of. thousands of - miles that Chalmers cars do wear indefinitely longer than one would suppose, from their price and that the service they give is so satisfactory that there Is no temptation for a Chalmers owner to mske an expensive change. , . -, Chalmers cars protect the bank ac-ount of their owners. .. '' .'. ' Each year there has been a shortage of Chalmers cars for Spring delivery. The. factory has bees -run constantly all night, as well as day, since last July in order to protect the trade on Spring deliveries. Notwithstanding this fact there are no accumulated Chalmers stocks either at the factory or any agencies. . "We recommend, therefore, that you give the Chalmers early consideration. Only by placing your order now can vou be assured of having your ear for the Spring motoring days. , H. E. Fredrickson Automobile Company; . 2044-4648 Farnam Street :.
