You never saw a beautiful woman
whU didn't have beautiful hair. The
charm OF woman lies in her hair.
Many women do not realize the attrac-
tioua they possess because they do not
give proper attention to the care OF the
hair.
The women of Paris are famed for
their beauty. not because their facial
features are superior to those OF other
women, but because they know how to
keep young by supplying vigor. lustre,
and strength to the hair.
Thousands Of sensible American wo-
men have greatly increased their at
fractions since the Introduction OF
Partisan Sage. the quick acting hair
invigorator. and thousands more will
do the same as soon as they learn of
ats wonderful inertia.
Up to two years ago Partisan Sage
could hardly be obtained in America.
But now this delightful hair tonic and
dressing can be had In every town In
America E. @. Fowler sells Il In

Among the revolutions adopted was

TAKING TESTIMONY IN
NAVAL STORES CASE

Savannah, Ca, April zS.--The taking
OF testimony in the case of the naval
stores company for alleged violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law was begun
In the, United States Court today
John w. West. President of the West
and Jacksonville, Fla, was the hrst
witness. He testified that the Ameri-
can Stores Company refused to buy
naval stores from him unless he sign
ed contract. certain clauses of which
were Objectionable to him. He signed
the contract finally.
Extended arguments as to what
should be competent evidence to show
a conspiracy were made and at the be-
ginning of the afternoon session
Judge Sheppard ruled that the gov
eminent would not be restricted to DE-
rect evidence of q conspiracy, but
might show here and there facts and
circumstances tending to show that
there had been concerted action among
the defendants TO DO the acts charged.
An effort was made to qualify c. II.
Barnes. OF Jacksonville, Fla, presi-
dent OF the Barnes and Jesup Com
pany, as an expert on naval stores. He
was called to the stand after John u.
Harris. OF valdosta and Seyhi Rich
mond, OF Savannah. of the West Flynn
and Harris Company had testified. Mr..
Barnes said he had been in the naval
stores business for twenty six years
He asserted the American crop OF naval
stores for the year beginning April /.
1908, was 500, 600 barrels.
Then an EFFORT was made to show
through him Just how much of this
the American naval stores company
handled and a sharp fight began.
The question OF whether he should
answer the question was argued and
the matter had not been ruled upon
when adjournment until tomorrow was
taken.
It Is apparent that not one bit OF
evidence OF an important nature will
be allowed to get into the case on eth
err side without fight and 1t is pre-
dfcted that the rulings on objections
will be many in each session of the
court while the case L. on trial.
Judge Adams for the defense this
morning asserted the trial should be
terminated at once, arguing that there
Is only one Alleged conspirator before
the court aid that one man could not
conspire with himself. even though he
should try to get all the business
there was in one particular line.

of costs or change his original holding
that the court cannot fix rates.
In effect the decision means that the

As TO the contention that the court
was in error in It's original opinion In
that the statutes rendered them void,
Judge McPherson now holds that this
section OF the state statutes imposing

On the point OF fixing the rates
