Wood of the firm of Wood & Oakley. Chi cago, attorneys for the Harris Trust 4 Savings Co., Chicago, which purchased the bonds and will reject them now on the opinion of its attorneys.

The old-time mixture of .Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's rcccipe. and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sen sible, as we are living in an age when youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. AH drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular be cause nobodv can discover it lias been applied. Simply mosten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, tak ing one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies witli Wyeth's age and Sulphur Com pound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few ap plications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

Captain Collings sailed the seas for many yean ; then he suitalned a bad double rupture that soon forced lilm to not only remain ashore, but kept Mm bedridden for years. He tried doctor after doctor and truss after truss. No results! Finally, he was assured that he must either submit to a dangerous and abhorrent operation or die. He did1 eitaerl He cured himself Instead. "Fellow Mea and Women, Yea Don't Have, T Be Cut Up. and Yra Don't Hto To Bo Tortured By Trusses." c Captain Ceilings made a study of himself, of his condition and at last he was rewarded by the finding of the method that so quickly made him a well, strong, vigorous and happy man.. Anyone can use the same method It's simple, easy, safe and inexpensive.'

"The act authorizes the county board to levy taxes not exceeding 15 mills oil the dollar on the actual or full market value of the property in the county." The county attorney underscores the words "actual or full market value." Based Upon "Misapprehension." "Up to 1903," the statement con tinues, "taxes in this state were levied on the full or market value. In 1903 the legislature enacted what now appears as Section 6,300, Re vised Statutes of Nebraska, for 1913, which provides that property shall be assessed at one-fifth of its market or actual value. "The opinion rendered by Charles B. Wood against the court house repair bonds is based upon a mis apprehension of these enactments. "I am satisfied at this time, after carefully reconsidering the matter that our conclusions were correct. They were reached by myself in con sultation with John P. Breen, Ben S. Baker, Mr. Ayres of the attorney general's office, and other eminent attornevs. "Besides, since this special .legis lation was procured, two district judges in this state have held in litigation which presented similar questions, that the legislature could authorize the levy of taxes on the actual and full market value in this state. . , . "No court lias decreed this bond issue invalid, and I think if the mat ter is presetted in litigation the val idity of the bonds will be sustained." Suggests a Way Out. Mr. S!'-otwell probably will go to Chicago this week to take up the question personally with Mr. 'Wood and Mr. Oakley, the bond company attorneys. Another way out of the difficulty has been suggested by Sophus Ne ble, county commissioner. This is that the state of Nebraska tuy the bonds. "I believe the state will buy them if the bond companies don't want them." said Mr. Neble. "The state has the power to invest its surplus funds in these bonds." County Attorney Shotwell says the state has the right to buy the bonds. , "Of course it would not pay a premium for them. They were sold at a little more than $101 per $100 to the bond companies. The state would pay par for them, if it bought them. I believe, however, that we will clear up the matter and con vince the boild companies that the bonds are legal." Little Girl Burned by Bucket of Hot Lard Little Columbia Cisuno, 6 years old. 815 South Twenty-fourth street, was severely burned late yesterday J afternoon in her home when her sis- tcr, Gresa, walking across the room with a bucket of hbt lard, stumbled against the child, spilling the fiery grease upon her.

"Since I started taking Tanlac I have not only gained thirty pounds in weight, but for the first time in twenty-five years I am enjoying ?ood health," said J. J. Craig, of 421 North Madison street, .BloominRton, III. recently. ' I "Yes, sir, I am fifty years of age," he continued, ."and twenty-five of these years have been spent in mis ery and suffering without a let-up until I began' taking Tanlac. I was never able to cat a thing without filling up with gas afterwards and having such intense cramping pains in my stomach I could hardly stand them. Why, at times I would have these spells of cramps while at work and have to be taken home, where I would lie for hours almost uncon scious. I was all run down and weak and would play out before I had worked half a day, and very often had to quit and eo home. But, thanks to Tanlac, this is all a thing of the past now. "Tanlac has simply made a new man of me, and it has given me good health, something I never ex pected to have again. I can sit down now and cat anything without its hurting me the least bit. I am never troubled with gas and never have the least sign of a pain in my stomach. I feel strong and vigorous all the time and am able to work every day and all day long with the greatest ease. No, sir. I wouldn't take all the money in Bloomington for what Tanlac has done for me, and I ex pect to praise it as long as I live." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also For rest and Meany Drug Company in South Omaha and the leading drug gist in each city and town through out the state of Nebraska. Adv.

Winship of Boston, editor of "The Journal of Education," told public school teachers yesterday afternoon in the auditorium of Cen tral High school, that the day of the conventional teacher has passed. He told of attending an educa tional convention in Washington several decades ago when the pi oneers of manual training and do mestic science in schools were op posed. "We now know that we must learn by doing thing's, and that book learning is not all that is to be desired in the school room," he said. "We are learning that pedagogy is a real profession, and we have also learned what child study means." Dr. Winship reviewed the prog ress of education, from the days when the teacher's vision was lim ited to book learning, to the present day system with its broadening op portunities for the child, and urged teachers to be progressive.
