PARDEE MAKES STATEMENT.
Ex- GovernOr Takes Hand in BaIIingeT
Controversy.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 22-Former Gov
ernor George c. Pardee of California re-
turned from San Clements Island last
night in company with Clifford Pinchot
chief forester of the United States, and
gave out a statement regarding the dec
larationS made in the letter of President
Taft to Secretary of the Interior Balm
ger, generating that official from charges
made by L. R. CLAWS, chief of the field
work of the general land office at Seattle.
Governor Pardee was referred to by
name in the Taft letter one of those
who had criticised the policy of the inter-
ior department Mr.. Pardee said:
'At the irrigation congress I read a
copy of a letter approved by Secretary
Ballinger, and directing that over four
millions acres of land, previously with
drawn by Garfield, to save power sites
from being grabbed should be restored to
entry. This was eut of the several
orders approved by Secretary Ballinger.
The president mentions Dur one order of
Ballinger's restoring to entry only one
million and half acres, and says this
order of restoration was upon a recon-
mendation of the reclamation service.
Il have seen documentary evidence that
the reclamation service argued with Sec
order of which the president speaks and
that 1t reluctantly made the recommended
ton only after having been repeatedly or
dered by Secretary Ballinger to do so.''
From Avalon, Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot reiterated his refusal to make
any comments on the presidents vindica-
ton of Secretary Ballinger. Mr.. Pinchot
said he would leave here Thursday for
Washington.

AN UP-To-DATE DRUGGIST

says it is surprising how many old
fashioned remedies are being used, which
goes to show that it is hard to improve
some of our grandmothers' old, time-tried
remedies For instance, for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy, nothing equal
ing our grandmothers' sage tea has ever
been discovered. Although, by the addi-
ton OF sulphur and other ingredients, this
old-fashioned brew has been made more
effective as scalp tonic and color re-
storer. Nowadays when our hair comes
out or gets faded or gray, instead of go
ing to the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the tea ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur.
This preparation is sold by all leading
druggists for so cents and 81 a bottle, q
is sent direct by the Wyeth ChemicaS
Company, IA Cortlandt St., New York
City, upon receipt of price.
