SENTIMENT IS NOT SO HOSTILE, SAYS M’CARDLE Chairman of Service Commission Admits Body Is Unpopular. IMPROVEMENT OF WATER Unfavorable sentiment toward the Indiana Public Service Commission exists, but is not so intense as some individuals believe. John W. McCarle, chairman of the commission, declared in a speech before a committee of men and women at the Statehouse today. The meeting was for considering uniform rules and regulations for Indiana water companies. “It woulc show a want of frankness on my part P I did not allude to the fact :hat tbtr-5 is a certain amount of public sentiment unfavorable to the public service commission. ” Mr. MeCardle said. "This unfavorable sentiment is not nearly so Intense nor so wide-spread as a few individuals wou.a have us believe, but never the less, it exists. aEGILATION ERY DIFFICULT. “The war brought about conditions *hich rendered the work of all Goveruuental rate regulating bodies extremely lifTicult. In order that public utilities night continue to exist it became accessary, generally, to Increase the rates hey were charging for commodities. This was true throughout the Cnited •tatcs, and it was true in Indiana. "The commission did increase rates, tut if you will make an investigation you rtil discover that the price of products if our public ut.Htles increased in ratio, [mailer than did the price of any •ther commodity in common use. While ither businesses were making 10, 20, 30, it), and some times 100 per cent return n their invested capital, the public atilitics of Indiana during the period of the war were held to a reasonable return, in no case of which I know exceeding 8 per cent. Many of them made Bo return at all, but this was due to #nditlons and was unavoidable.'’ Referring to the water companies, Mr. MeCardle said: “The water utilities of the State are in excellent condition and are giving good lervice. Generally speaking, they are being economically and efficiently manIged. Rut there is nothing so good that It can not be improved upon, and we propose to bring the water utilities of this State to a point of excellence in service nd operation that is unsurpassed throughout the United States. I believe that the work of this committee will bring about this result.” SUBCOMMITTEES

April Showers Fail to Frighten Crowds Away From Circus April showers are not enterferrlng with the Sells-Floto Circus today. The big white top was up before the rain started last night and Frank A. Stuart, known as “Doc” in the newspaper offices all over the country, is the authority that everything is dry and cozy under the big top at Washington street and Belmont avenue. The Sells-Floto Circus is the first circus of the current season. It came direct ! ere from its*Chicago engagement and Indianapolis Is the first stand of the long spring and summer tour. A matinee was given this afternoon and a performance will bo given tonight. Sells-Floto has added another stage to its arena, making three rings and two stages filled with features acts —the Ilannefords, the flobsonx, the Hodginls, the Harnldo Madri Arabs, the Otwngas Japanese. the Lindsays, the 11 hites, the Sleber Seals, the Steiners. Lou Grant, the La Fleurs and scores of other*. In the air, the Codonas end the Nelsons, flying troupes, will lead the Sells-Floto airial offerings, with Alf-edo, triple somersaulter, and eßatrice. the human top, again among the mid air thrillers. The spectacle this year Is called “A Night in Cairo," 'and is said to be the largest one ever attempted by SellsFloto. There are nearly sixty clowns with the circus this year. "Hoc” Stuart has this to say about the clowns: "Yes, slree! Somethin’ new. and it has to do with the clowns. This yeai they've told the “Joeys,” so big top argot terms the chalf-faccd cut-up*—this year, to repeat, they've told the clown to go oout in the three rings and two stages and in the hippodrome track and be funny. Honestly, every one of the fifty five has been told to be funny, and if he can't be funny, so each one has been instructed, he must not go out before all the people and mislead 'eon with his starched pantaloons and peaked cap. Those are the management's' orders. Fact is. the orders read : ‘‘Every clown with this show Is hired to get laughs. Any clown not getting one or more laughs in each clown display will be fined $l9O for the first offense. S2OO for the second offense, and, for the third offense, he'll have his clown suit taken away from Mm for one performance. Offenses after that will be handled without mercy.” “This is a fearful thing, folks. I’erhaps. the story should not have leaked out, but there are 1,200 folks with the second laragest this year, and the management can't watch 'em nil. The only chap with the big show exempted from the ruling is "Poodles” Hanneford. His orders rend: “After the third encore, you. Edwin ‘Poodles', Hanneford, will cease riding and cease being funny. This show can stand almost everything, but when people die laughing in the stands during your encores, a halt must be called. Failure to comply with this order, Mr. Hanneford, will result in youi not being allowed to help the front door boys and the ushers during turn-away business.” The doors of the circus will open at 7 o’clock tonight.

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR HOW Druggist Says Ladies are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its eoior and lustre, or wben.it turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this farflous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides teatuifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives It an appearan e of abundance.—Advertisement.
