tions." Refers To Penal Farm. Timothy Nicholson when called upon for an extemporaneous speech related some of the important movements that have been started by the Richmond Commercial club and referred especially to the establishment by the state of a penal farm. Mr.

said the Commercial club

took for his theme the proposition , duced. among them George Bright.

During the rush of Christmas shopping -when stores are filled with shoppers, and the counters covered with displays of all kinds, the temptation to slip something up the sleeve or in

side the coat is so strong that local J merchants miss many articles. Persons who would not think of taking any thing from another person, will convince themselves that the store will not miss the article that they want, and a few hurried movements when no one is watching will transfer it from the counter to the pocket or hand bag. Most of the local stores increase their force of employes during the rush, and instruct all of them to closely watch persons whose actions arouse suspicions. In a few cases the duty of mixing with the shoppers and observing all suspicious moves is assigned to one person. She mingles with them, examining goods at all counters and occasionally making purchases. Silk hose, gloves, hatpins, handkerchiefs, and articles on the counters of the 10-cent. stores are most tempting. The shoppers will finger the goods examining them from all angles until a little voice whispers "Take it, the store will not miss it." Instances where attempts are made to take larger and more valuable things are rare. Although it is necessary to be more vigilant when the Christmas crowds are in the stores, the police and managers of stores believe there is little petty thieving in th'o city compared with that reported in other cities.

the necessity of a readjustment necessary to handle the increased number of functions of city government. New problems confront the growing city every day. Problems of City. "Twenty years ago the city government of Richmond had only four functions. They were to police the city, educate the children, furnish drinking

water and give fire protection. Now you have medical inspection of the schools and many other innovations. In Dayton we have public entertainments for the instruction and amusement of the masses. We hope to have free Sunday concerts next year. These things were socialistic but a few years ago. Now we think a city hide bound that does not advocate them. "Now, how does your city measure up when you apply the yardstick of efficiency to her? Henry Bruere gives a number of measurements for efficiency. First, are your public officers in the city hall representative of you? I have met your mayor-elect and a number of your new administration, and I think they are. "Have you an efficient method of electing them? In other words, does your elective system here make it sure that the mass of the people rather than the political boss select your public officials?

To make Richmond the city of the historical significance she deserves to ; be by the erection of memorial tablets 1 and statutes to perpetuate the memory of great things done here was ad-, vocated in an inspiring speech by Wil- j liam Dudley Foulke. "It was here," said he, "that the j first national highway entered the state and where many stirring incidents of pioneer life occurred which j attended the opening of that great j highway. We might well observe the incident next year with some pageant j to celebrate its memory. ! "But most of all we should honor the ; great men we claim as our own. It is within the future limits of Richmond 1 where the vanished town of Salisbury 1 stood, where Oliver P. Morton was born. The place ought to be honored ; by a monument with a suitable inscription, j "We have one tablet to our soldiers : in the court house. We ought to have another to designate the place close to ;

few of us are originators, we are all judges of policy.

SAGE AND SULPHUR

DARKENS GRAY HAIR

It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore !

Color, Gloss and Thickness.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and

lifeless, is caused bya lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made j up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- j

phur 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 famous mixture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and

Sulphur Hair Remedy," which darkens 1 the hair so naturally, so evenly, that j nobody can possibly tell it has been . applied. Besides, it takes off dand-1 ruff, stops scaip itching and falling j hair. You just dampen a sponge or j soft brush with it and draw this ! through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the

gray natr disappears ; nut what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. Adv.
