To Establish Credit System With Rensselaer Merchants.

Tuttle Bros, are here making an effort to organize local businessmen in the formation of a local credit system as a protection against losses and as a means of showing worthy of credit those who actually are dependable. A commendable feature of the plan is the employment of a secretary who assists the merchants in making collections and who furnishes information concerning all who apply for credit. Another plan is the organization of a number of towns together and the.plan to give authority for the purchase of large quantities of goods at one time, thus securing a large buying advantage. Delos Dean is introducing Tuttlfe Bros, among the businessmen and they "are receiving much encouragement.

The smallpox scare has about passed away . and / the . situation today amounts to a complete confidence that there will be no spread and there is some doubt as to whether some of the suspects actually had anything more the matter with them than an attack of indigestion. In one ox two cases there is a mild breaking out but it is so very mild that it does not seem possible that it could be smallpox. The precautions taken, however, should prevent a spread and fears may be dispelled and apparently all 'business and pleasure resumed without danger of contact. There are 20,000 kinds of butterflies.

GOETHALS KEEPS PANAMA POSITION

Withdraws His Resignation As Governor of Canal Zone Because of ‘Recent Slides in Gaillard Cut. Panama, Oct. 6.—'Major General George P. Goethals has withdrawn his resignation as governor of the Panama canal zone. This fact was announced by General Goethals tonight on his arrival on board the steamer Cristobal from New York after a vacation spent in the United tates. His action was taken, he said, in view of the recent slides in the Gaillard cut, which have closed traffic through the canal. General Goethals said he would remain in Panama indefinitely—until such time as the condition of the canal would permit of his departure. Further than to make this announcement and to say that he had cabled Secretary of War Garrison withdrawing his resignation, General oGethals had nothing to say concernnig -he canal. He did not seem worried over the situation, but eager to enter upon the work of combating the slide. He will discuss the situation tomorrow with Lieut. Col. Chester Harding, engineer of maintenance, and afterwards make a personal study of the slides.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don’t Stay Gray! Here’s An Old-Time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.- Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

Stockings were , first used in the eleventh century.

STATE RESTS CASE AGAINST MAYOR BELL

Defense Will Now Begin Evidence to Prove That There Is No Corruption In Capital. After some four weeks of work on the part of the state in the case against Mayor Bell and other defendants of Indianapolis, alleging election frauds, the state rested its case today and now the defense will begin the task of disproving the evidence of the state. Throughout Indiana the evidence has not created much of an impression and there has 'been a lack of interest. Possibly the war has refused to be shoved into the background for an election fraud case, when so many are convinced before the suit was well under way that there was evidence sufficient to convict if the jury was willing to accept it the way the public did. Whether Mayor Bell and his co-de-fendants are convicted or not the effect should be to cause some muchneeded reform in Indianapolis and the decent electors should see to it that future elections are honestly conducted.

Warren County Men of Kale Want to Get Married.

The Commercial-News of Danville, 111., is authority for the desire of two Warren county men of wealth to get married. The men are Joseph Horn and Gold Dysert. Horn owns 400 acres of, good farm land and a 7-pas-senger touring car, one of the $5,000 kind. Apparently he is willing to marry a ready-made family. He prefers a blonde with pretty face and Igure and about 30 years of age. One that will accept his country home and be contented. He wants one who knows how to cook and will be willing to do so if the cook gets peeved and quits some day. He wants her to be able to put sheets on the bed without any wrinkles in them. He is a gentleman of good habits and The Commercial News says that the woman who marries him will be glad to show him off to her relatives. Mr. Dysert owns 800 acres of good land and was never married. He has spurned many offers but -of late he has decided that he will jump the broomstick if he can locate the right kind of a woman. He prefers a young widow with no children. He has batched for so long that he has set ways and he wants a wife who will not try to disarrange them. Mr. Dysert is said to be a fine gentleman, rich and tidy of personal appearance and any woman who gets him can be very proud of her hubby. These men do not want any adventuresses, but they mean business and will be glad to make a choice from any who apply for their hearts and pocketbooks. Both get their mail at Tab, Ind. The Commercial-News closes its article by saying: “Here is a chance rarely found by women who want to marry and lead a happy life on /good farms, ride in automobiles, raise chickens, dress well and oversee a good home.”
