COMB SAGE TEA IN LIFELESS, GRAY HAIR If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens so Naturally Nobody can Tell. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at

any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or sofl brush and draw it through your hair .taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. (Advertisement)

Since questions have arisen regarding: the rules and regulations of Richmond Light, Heat and Power Company, in reference to matter of deposit or guaranty required from consumers of natural gas, it submits the following statement concerning its connection with the matter. When natural gas was found to be available for delivery in this vicinity this company sought the source of supply, with the desire to negotiate for the sale to this city. Such negotiations, however, could not be consumated, the city co-operating with the committee of Commercial Club, negotiating contract and franchise with the Allegheny (las Company, and to which negotiations this company was in no wise a party. Section VIII. of the franchise granted the said Allegheny Gas Company reads as follows: "Said company, by and with the consent and approval of the Board of Public Works of said City, or other legally constituted authority thegeof, shall have the right, privilege and authority to make from time to time, and to enforce, all reasonable and necessary rules and regulations relating and pertaining to the distribution, furnishing, supplying and selling of natural gas to said City and the inhabitants thereof, the rules and regulations first promulgated by said company shall be submitted to and approved by said Board prior to the time said company is required to file the bond hereinafter provided" for." Following the engagement into contract the Allegheny Gas Company filed the bond required in the sum of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars; the same being approved by the Board of Public WTorks of the City. With the approval of the Public Service Commission of Indiana, and with the consent of the City of Richmond, the franchise of Allegheny Gas Company was assigned to this company, and this company was required by the city to file its additional bond of Twenty-five Tohusand Dollars agreeable to the terms of franchise and which was also approved by the City. There were several benefits to the City by this agreement, the principal being that the necessity of digging up all of the streets of the city was avoided; that the property owners were saved the expense and annoyance of installing new service connections and the restoring of lawns and sidewalks to previous condition; besides the incidental expenses to the City of supervision of excavations. The gas consuming public was further benefited in that thereby natural gas was made available to all by the assignment of the contract at least one year earlier than it would have been possible if it had been necessary to repipe the city. This company promptly proceeded with all diligence to complete plans and construction at the earliest possible date, and now thirty days before date fixed by the Commission as a reasonable time within which to commence supply is ready to turn natural gas into the pipes. This company was not party to any rules and regulations regarding the matter of supply of natural gas. This was entirely in the hands of the City, the Allegheny Gas Company and the Commercial Club Committee and all matters pertaining thereto were settled by them. Following the assignment of franchise to this company the rules and regulations agreed to by said three parties were delivered to this company, and no necessity was occasioned for this company to ask the amendment of the same. Rule 5 of the said rules and regulations reads as follows: "In case an applicant for gas is not considered financially responsible the company reserves the right to require a reasonable safe guaranty; or a cash deposit equalling the average gas bill for a six weeks' period, upon which interest at the rate of six per cent per annum payable annually, will be paid, for gas to be delivered and other services rendered, which deposit and unpaid accumulated interest thereon will be refunded when the delivery of gas has been discontinued, and upon payment of all bills due the company and surrender of the receipt therefor." This rule we find was proposed in part by the Allegheny Gas Company, being proposed to the City and Commercial Club Committee in exact form as stipulated by the Ohio Public Service Commission, in providing for deposit or guaranty of one month's service plus thirty per cent, and that the same stipulation was on the part of the City corrected and changed to read "For a six week's period." There is abundant authority that such a rule is both just and proper and fair to all parties concerned. Quoting from one, Professor Wyman in "Public Service Corporations" says: "Deposit required when charges are undetermined: "In respect to many services it will be seen that the rule in its simple form that payment for the service asked must be made in advance is not workable, for it cannot .be knowTi in advance how much service will be taken. This is particularly true of measured service, whether gas, water, electricity or telephone to name four prominant instances of this situation. The happy solution of this problem has been to permit these companies to demand a reasonable deposit in advance to cover expected supply. As to what a reasonable amount is there are but few decisions. A small minimum deposit is always reasonable S3.00 is usual. But larger sums may be demanded when the circumstances warrant it. Thus it was held in the leading case that a hotel which used about $60.00 w orth of gas a week, might be required to deposit S100.00. The court thought that the company might either require a personal guaranty or an actual deposit. In either case the condition was said to be a reasonable one. The facts in this case give the clue to the basis upon which reasonableness is predicated; for it seems clear that the amount of deposit which may be required is what would ordinarily be sufficient to cover the expected use in the usual period for which bills are rendered." Such a rule is a rule of necessity, and it is not to be believed that the authorities will permit any injustice to any class of consumers. Such a rule preventing the payment of the whole cost in the final analysis by those who pay their bills. This company stands ready and willing at any time to submit this rule to the Public Service Commission of Indiana, as one which is both reasonable and fair. For by the very nature of the business, being obliged to supply all applicants, the company cannot undertake to pass upon the financial responsibility of such applicants.
