LADIES! LOOK YOUNG, DARKEN GRAY HAIR

Use the Old-Time Sage Tea and Sulphur and Nobody Will Know; Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades or turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances .its appearance a hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully and removes dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. After another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.

Facts About Automobile Industry in United States.

A few years ago there were many stories of the extravagance of the American people, those in moderate means and those well to do, in the matter of automobiles. Farmers were said to be mortgaging their farms to buy automobiles, it was declared. But here are some statistics that have been gathered, showing that the above impressions were wrong. More automobiles were sold last year than ever before. There are now registered in the United States 1,754,570 automobiles. This means that 2 per cent of the people own cars. lowa leads all states in the matter of the use of automobiles per capita, with one person (in every 21, approximately 5 per cent owning cars; California is second, one in every 23, or 4% per cent; and Nebraska is third, one in 25, or four per cent owning cars; Indiana ranks (tenth in this respect, leadig all competitors east of the Mississippi; Illinois ranks thirteenth and New York twenty-sixth. The average price of the cars sold in America is S7OO. (More cars are being sold in the middle west at the present time than in any other part of the United States. In Kansas 100,000 cars were sold in less than six months. Three-fourths of the new cars sold this year have been disposed of in agricultural States. Tens of thousands of miles of good roads have been built that would never have oeen built if it were not for the automobile. Bankers declare that the automobile has added Stimulus to agriculture that has never been known before. They say that it has robbed the farm of its isolation or loneliness. It has not only broaded ideas of mechanics but has awakened enterprise. The drift from the farm to the city has been checked. Who will now say that the farmer is a rube, when, per capita, there are three times as many automobiles in lowa as there are in New York.

Don’t Burn Leaves At Night.

Doctors have complained about the smoke created by the burning of leaves, while others have objected on account of the dense smoke making auto travel on some streets dangerous and there is danger of fires being started because the bonfires are not protected and I have been directed by Mayor Spitler to order that the leaves must not be burned after night. To prevent the things complained of it is necessary that all fires be extinguished by 5 o’clock in the afternoon and none started after that time. J. J. MONTGOMERY, City Fire Warden.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1915.

DELIGHTFUL TRIP AND SOME INFORMATION

Hospital Board and Republican Editor Visited Valparaiso and Gary Institutions. Frank E. Lawis, J. D. Allman, L. H. Hamilton and E. P. Honan, accompanied by the editor of The Republican, made an auto trip to Valparaiso and Gary Thursday that proved a most delightful one and resulted in gathering some excellent information to be used in the plans for the new county hospital. All but the editor are members of the hospital board and the trip was made especially to see the Christian hospital at Valparaiso and one or more of the Gary hospitals. At Valparaiso Attorneys Dan Kelley and Edward T. Heineman accompanied the Rensselaer visitors to the hospital, where the matron very kindly escorted them about the building. This is an old building, “having been erected by Dr. Loring some twenty-five years ago and by him conducted for some years as a sanitarium. Less than a year ago it was changed into a hospital and is under the management of a board from the Christian church. It is in no respect modem but the management has done all that could be done under the circumstances. The rooms and wards are tidy and everything is clean. There are 25 beds in the hospital and there are from 4 to 12 patients in there at a time. . The hospital is not self-supporting but is becoming more so all the time. Valparaiso is so near Chicago and there are so many trains running there that it operates against the hospital. Then, since it is not modem, many prefer going where everything is the latest. Another thing is the fact that it is a denominational hospital. The board secured a number of valuable ideas, "however, by the visit, in matters of arrangement, size of rooms, etc. The drive was then made -over the Lincoln highway to Gary, where Lawson Meyer, superintendent of the Chicago Telephone Co’s, plant at Gary, acted as escort, taking the visitors to the hospital of the United States Steel Corporation. This is a modle building that cost the steel company $250,000 and is maintained for the employes of the Gary plant. Most of the cases are injury cases, although there are many cases of operation performed there of the employes who are taken sick while on duty. The building is five stories and basement high and was erected six years ago. The buildings are of dark vitrified brick and brown stone and the building is fire proof. The roof is red tile. Accommodations are provided for 126 patients with a total of 156 beds. The walls of the corridors are of Italian marble and 85 per cent of the .floors are of tile and marble. The lighting and ventilation of the plant have received special attention. The hospital is near the entrance to the steel plant on 14 acres of ground set aside by the company for the purpose. The entrance, receiving room, offices, operating room, wards, private rooms, convalescent ward and everything are hospital perfection and while it was on a scale so much greater than is to be undertaken here, it furnished many , ideas that can be involved in the erection of a small hospital. All work in the hospital is male, the doctors, nurses, cooks and everything except the scrub women. The doctor in charge was very generous and took the visitors all over the building and explained every department and answered all questions and further volunteered to assist the local board in any way possible if asked to do so. It was not necessary to visit the other hopitals as they were also very large and doubtless would furnish no important new ideas, so the invitation of Lawson Meyer was accepted to visit the central plant of the telephone company, which is managed by him. It proved one of the pleasures of the visit, for the plant is certainly a model of perfectioh. It was as clean as a hospital from basement to roof and the mechanical devices were arranged for convenience, good service and comfort of employes. The wiring, the dynamos, the batteries, the switchboard, the office, and every department showed that a master hand had directed the arrangement and all were proud that a Rensselaer boy was at the head of the system. We only wish that we had the descriptive power to picture the plant as it exists and to let our readers know how big and complete it is. When Lawson went to ’Gary there were about 400 telephones. Now there are 3,000. The plant cost about $500,000 to install. The large room and the convenience for the operators was one of the best features. A branch of the public library is maintained there and 130 books wete in it at this time. The books am exchanged at the public library as frequently as there is a demand. A fine new postoffice building is being erected in Gary and near it is the Y. M. C. A., which cost $300,000 and I the Carnegie library which cost $65,-

Newspapers Blamed by Ella Flagg Young in Resigning Position.

Chicago, Oct. 21.—Ella Flagg Young, for six years superintendent of schools, today announced that she would resign on December 8, when the regular school election will be held. In announcing that she would not seek reappointment, the superintendent blamed “persistent discussion of the superdntendency of schools in the daily newspapers” for her determination to quit. She declared she would have resigned last June but for the fact that there was a large deficit in the school fund, a condition which, she said, does not exist now. Mrs. Young, who is 70 years old, been active in school affairs since 1862, when, at the age of 16, she began teaching. She conducted an educational tour through France, Germany, Switzerland and England in 1904, and on July 30, 1909, was made superintendent.

HAIR AND SCALP NEED DAILY CARE

Beautiful Hair Is Within the Reach ofAll. If you value the appearance of your hair you should treat the scalp as often and well as you brush your teeth and rub into the scalp pores twice daily a little Parisian Sage. This treatment is not a mere “hair tonic.” It is bottled nourishment for the hair roots and it is simply wonderful what an improvement its use so reven a week will make in the appearance of anyone’s hair. It never injures, is delightfully cool and pleasant to the scalp and takes out the dull, lifeless look in the hair, making it soft, fluffy, glossy and beautiful. Two or three applications remove t every trace of dandruff, and daily use will prevent its return. B. F. Fendig and the leading druggists everywhere can furnish you with Parisian Sage—it costs but a trifle.

000. We have been in Gary before but never saw it to such advantage as on this visit. It is certainly a great city and is the foundation for a metropolis of a hundred thousand. W. F. Hodges* the attorney who lived in Rensselaer for same time, has made a big success there and recently erected on Broadway, a fine building for the Wool worth company, which he leased to them for $4,800 per year for ten years. Mr. Hodges has made an abundance of money in Gary and his old friends here are glad of his success. Frank Meyer has a mighty nice drug store on Broadway, near Ninth avenue and is doing a good business. Gary has been picking -dp again lately after the depression the past two years and practically all buildings are again occupied.
