Sickness.
WIFE HELPED AT THE ORGAN
A man and his wife were trans
formed from hunger, homelessnees,
cold and despair to well-fed and eon
tented happiness by the agency of
the Volunteers of America this
week.
They came into the office at 114
North Fifteenth street, the man's
face showing the ravages of recent
sickness and the woman with the
marks of much trouble and worry.
"The man apologized at the begin
ning and I could see he was no ordi
nary type." said Major McCormick.
' He told me he had had a good posi
tion which he bad lost because of
sickness. He was greatly embar-

said, and wouldn't do it now but for
his wife's sake.
C'mme la Hour of lfad.
"H had often attended our' street
meetings and had beard u tell there

"This was on a Saturday evening- and
we had no place to ' lode them. "We

and sot them a room at a hotel.
"Sunday we had them here all day to
all meals and they ate as though they
were famished. They war overflowing
with thanks and sometimes tears would
coma Into their eyes and they could
hardly apeak.
"At the evening meeting wa bad mo
ona to play tha organ and the woman
volunteered. I never beard tha organ
played ao In my Ufa. She put a touch
into those old hymns that brought tears
to my eyes. Bhe Juat 'made It talk' and
it aeemed to tell tha atory of tha suf

Traffic Bureau
Wants McVann to .
Stay a Year More
Pig in the Car Proves Expensive to
Man Moving to Wyoming to Live
Never again when he mores from one
state to another will It. B. Rogers at
tempt to secura a railroad pass for him
self on the strength of having a pig In
tha car with his household effects, and
that It Is neceasary for hlra to go along
to feed and water the animal.
Rogers lived near Sheffield, 111., on the
Una of the Rock Island. He purchased
land out In Wyoming and waa moving
there, going early so to be there and
tart spring: work. Hla new location is
along the Union aclflc.
Both, the Rock Island and the Vnlon
Pacifio have rulea that permit of the
Issuance of a pass to one person If that
person goes along with household mov
ables, providing there Is live stock in
the car containing the gnodj. ogera
got his car loaded and everything went
well until It reached Council Bluffs,
where tha discovery was made that the
shipment came from Illinois territory
that was quarantined against both Iowa
and Nebraska, so far as hogs were con
cerned. At Council Bluffs the Union Pacific
would not receive the Rogers car and
bring It Into Nebraska so long as It con
tained the pig. - The ' quarantine rules
prevented anything of the kind and a
violation would subject the road to a fine
of something like tl.OnO and a jail sen
tence for the official rsaaln the way
bill. Rogers hit upon the Idea of killing his
pig and burying It In Iowa. Tha Iowa
stock Inspectors held that thla would be
a violation of tha law that provides for
neither live nor dead animala coming
from quarantined territory ai.all remain
within the Umlta of tha state. Then there
waa nothing for Rogera to do but to
ship hla pig back to tha Illinois point
from which It earns. Ha was not per
mitted to take It out of the car and
ship It aa a separate piece of freight, so
the car, pig and household goods had ti
go back to Sheffield.
Emigrant rates do not apply from
Council Bluffs Into Illinois, and aa a re
sult Rogers had to pay the regular rate
and b rcanse there waa live stock In the
car, he had to go along However, he
did not get a pasa, as there Is no
provision of law covering such contingen
cies. After be geta back to Illlnola and dls
poses of his pig. If Rogera still Ieelres to
come west, he will have to pay regular
passenger rates, and If he brings his
household goods, the customary rata will
be applied to them. Tha upshot of the
whole matter up to this time haa been
that the lone pig haa made Rogers' move
cost him close to 1100 and he la Just
where be started.

PAYS TAX ON HIS EVERY CENT
The last Individual of a race of
men hitherto believed extinct, but
which many years ago flourished
undor the name of "Honest Taxpay
ers," has been discovered in Omaha.
The ews of the discovery created
a sensation in scientific circles in the
city and caused a renewed hope that
a dodo's egg may yet be found on
top of one of the local skyscrapers,
in which event Omaha would possess
the two rarest scientific objects in
the world.
The "Honest Taxpayer" who has
already been discovered is of the
species classified in the text books
as "Wilson." He also bears the
name "Thomas P." His habitat is
2814 Capitol avenue and he works
during the daytime as stenographer
for District Judge Estelle.
Pail ' Rftry Cat.
For more than twenty years this
strange Individual haa been paying taxea
on every cent he possesses. Ho haa now
reached the point where he la paying on
$l.t personal property, which Is sev
eral times greater than tha valuations
returned by most of tha local aeml-mu-llonolces
and numerous millionaires.
Mr. Wilson lists evey item on hla tax
returns, which named In the blanks pro
vided by the assessor. Ten yeats ago
ha had to write In a U.W0 Item In order
to avoid being a tat-dodger. The last
returns which ha made waa as follows:
rash,

Household soode, tTSt
Klresrms, $10.
Tools, to.

Phonograph, flM.
ll.x.ks, 10.
Accounts due. t.
As la usual In tha case of relies of
extinct apeclea. Mr. Wilson Is of a re
tiring disposition, avoiding rather than
seeking notice of hla fellow men and he
would be greatly shocked If he knew
thla atory was going to appear in this
newspaper.
Kraft to Richmond.
Clarence Kraft, tha player who once
almost caused a base ball strike, has
been purchased by Harrtaburg. and will
be transferred with tha rvst of the club

Dr.
Cutter Addresses School Nurses
-Dr. Holortchiner Says Clean
, the Alleys.
WILL USE THERMOMETERS NOW
"One of the features of the scarlet
fever situation is that some victims
are walking around and mingling
with other people, under the impres
sion they have some mild, harmless
ailment," said Dr. Irving S. Cutter to
the public school nurses at a confer
ence held at school headquarters.
Dr. Cutter gave the nurses sugges
tions for their benefit in examining
children.
Dr. E. Holovtchlner of the Board
of Education said: "Medical . In
spection of schools is yet In the ex
perimental stage. We have no au
thority by law to maintain this sys
tem of inspection, but we feel the
patrons will sustain our action if we
behave ourselves. You, as nurses,
must be careful in your relationships
with parents and children. The
principals of the schools are your
immediate bosses. The patrons-of
the schools are our bosses."'
Not Bo Strict.
Superintendent ' Graft "ahnoinced lhat
beginning noxt week prlncipala will not
bo as strict in'excl iding children who
have been absent half a day and who
tring excuses showing they were de.
tained to help with the washing or went
to buy a pair of rubbers. The use of
ftver thermometers wiK be started next
veea .in an scnooje. cnim wnose tem
perature reaches 99 will be observed by
the nurses. ,
At the close of the meeting Dr. Holovt
chlner expressed the opinion that scarlet
fever will not subside until, the alleys and
streets of the city are cleaned thoroughly
I and maintained in clean condition.
The governing committee of the traffic
bureau la U hold a meeting Tuesday. The
t-ommlttee stands much as it dli last year,
with the exception that J. Clarke Colt
waa made chairman to succeed F. J.
Farrington, who waa chairman last year.
The committee at this meeting, It Is
understood, will decide on the course to
be pursued with regard to retaining Man
ager E. J. McVann as head of the bureau
for another year, although Mr. Mcvann
handling of big rate cases for
concerns keeps him In the east
Chicago a great deal of the time. Some
satisfactory basis on which Mr. McVann j
may be retained here and still carry on :
hla work In the east, is expected to be i
reached. '

ment, and folks are again using it to '
keep their hair a good, even color, which ,
is quite sensible, aa we are living In an
age when a youthful appearance Is of .
tha greatest advantsge.
Nowadays, though, we don't havs the j
troublesome task of gathering tha sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All '
drug atorea sell tha ready-to-use pro-
duct called "Wyeth'B Sage' and Bulphur I
Compound" for about 50 centa a bottle.
Jt Is very popular because nobody can
discover it hss been applied. Simply ;
moisten your comb or a soft brush with (
It and draw thla through your hair, tok- ;
Ing one small strand at a time; by 1
morning the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladles with Wyeth's .
Page and Sulphur Is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after a few ',
applications. It also produces that soft',
lustre and appearance of abundance ;
which Is so attractive; besides, prevents j
dandruff. Itching aealp and falling hair.
