VOLUME XIX
Facts About City Printing

Editor Leader In recent issue of
the Daily Times, the editor of that
paper appears very much aagrieved
because | had introduced resolution
at the last meeting of the common
council which provides that the city
printing contract be- awarded to the
lowest bidder. l held that this work
amounts to over $4,000 per year and
therefore it would not be more than
right to have this contract let the
same as other city contracts are,
giving all an equal chance to submit
their figures and the lowest respon-
sible bidder to be awarded the con-
tract. The editor Uf the Times makes
a gross Misrepresentation of my
sta tement at the council meeting,
which in all fairness to the public
should be corrected as this is the busi-
ness of the public. He also attempts
to mlslead by misrepresenting the
figures which have submitted to the
council, which figures were taken
from the records in the City Clerk y
Office, and are as follows:
City printing from April 20, 1908,
to April 20, 1909. !.

GRAY HAIRS RANIsHEp.

The old idea OF using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age or
seventy-fve. while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make a sage
tea" and apply II TO their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy
and gradually restored the natural
color. One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble OF max
ing II. especially as Il had to be made
every two or three days on account
of it souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking al
most any first-class druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur the public
can get superior preparation of
sage. with the admixture of sulphur,
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles. Daily use OF this
preparation will not only quickly re-
store the color of the hair but will
also stop the hair from falling out
and make 1t grow. II is sold by all
druggists for soc. and 500 bottle,

THE WHITE CRAB
One OF the Many Curious Creatures
That Come From bermuda.

Remarkable are the white crabs
now at the New YORK aquarium,
not long since arrived from Bermu-
da. Trunkback crabs they call them
down there because OF the fancied
resemblance OF the upper part OF
their body to the top OF an old-fash-
ioned round top trunk. but purse
crabs they might more accurately be
called from their closer likeness In
shape 10 that OF n clam-shell purse.
White in color mainly. the crab
has across It's back brown markings
that give Il there the appearance OF
brown veined white marble. Its two
big claws are OF curious shape and
very broad at their tips. When the
white crab closes these two claws to-
gether In front their broad tips
meet. and the claws ne In snugly to
the body. OF which they now almost
seem to be a part. while the crabs
smaller claws when folded ht up
against the body with like snugness.
SO when Its claws are all held close

outline not unlike that OF a big egg

Ballard Woman.

The death of Mr.. ALI Berry last
Saturday night in the Russell hotel
in Wickliffe recalls a prediction
made by Mr.. Carson Reeves, who
operates a peanut rooster and corn
popping machine at Norwood's cor
ner on Thursday evening before tho
fire. Little notice was taken of the
superstitious prediction at the time,
but the fatal fire OF Saturday night
in which Mr.. Berry lost his life is
calculated to arouse a feeling OF SUI
perstition in the minds OF the most
skeptical. While Messrs. Berry,
Reeves and J. L. Burradell were en-
gagged in conversation at the corn
popping machine, a partridge alighted
on the front of the old hotel build
ing and began plaintlvely to call for
its mate. Mr.. Reeves called atten-
ton to the bird. and insisted that il
was a bad omen.

hotel building?" said Mr.. Reeves.

OF course the strange Yprophesy
was laughed at by Messt8 Berry and
Burradali who did not give the lit
tie incident a serious tResshf at. The
time. And while there was probably
no connection between the whistling
"bob-white" and the fire that fol-
lowed. there is something about the
strange warning Mr.. Berry received
and his tragic death in the doomed
building three nights after that
makes the blood run cold.-Ballard
