ASK HAYS & FIELD

Partisan Sage, the Hair Grower, Is
Now Sold In America on Money
Back Plan.
It's mighty good thing for the wo-
men of America that Partisan Sage
can now be obtained in every town of
consequence.
No preparation for the hair has
done so much to stop falling hair and
eradicate dandruff and make women's
hair beautiful as Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is the only certain
destroyer of the dandruff microbe
which is the cause of 81 per cent L.
hair troubles.
These pernicious, persistent and de-
structive little devils thrive on the Or
dianry hair tonic.
Partisan Sage Is such an cXtraordi-
nary and quick-acting regeneration that
Hays & Field, who are the agents in
Hattiesburg, guarantees it to cure
dandruff, falling han and itching
scalp in two weeks or money back.
1t Is magnificent dressing for wo-
men who desire luxuriant, lustrous
hair that compels admiration.
And a large bottle of Partisan Sage
costs only so cents at Hays C Fields,
and all over America.

BOTH PHO MES IS
sweerHEARrs AND WIVES.


If sweethearts were sweethear-s al
ways,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half so pleasant
In the mingled draught of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles ami
bushes,
When the wife has frowns and
signs.
And the wife's have a wrathful glitter
For the glow of the sweethearts
eyes.
If lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for future of
Eden,
The joys of this chequered life?
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And care on the anxious brow
Oft replaces the sunshine that per-
ished
With the words of the marriage
vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still;
Whose voice, as of old, can charm
him;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill.
Who has plucked the rose to find
ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase.
As the flush of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace.
Who sees in the step lightness;
Who finds in the form grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness,
In the wichery of the face.

A JOYFUL PASTIME
It's Really Pleasure to Cure catarrh
BY Breathing Hyomei.

1t isn't pleasure to saturate your
stomach with vile nostrums or to
shock the tender membrane of the
nose and throat with disagreeable
sprays and douches.
But strange to say there are few
thousand people who do not keep
abreast of the times who are hoping
against hope that these ancient meth
DDS will rid them of catarrh.
If the readers of the Hattiesburg
News who suffer from catarrh want
to Danish this vile and disgusting dis
ease forever go to Hays & Field to-
day and get complete Hyomei (pro-
nounced High-o-me) outfit for $1.OO.
If it doesn't cure it won't cost you
a cent because Hays & Field will
give you your money back.
Hyomei is SO simple and pleasant
to use; pour a few drops from the
bottle into the inhaler and breathe it
in. AS it passes over the membrane
and into the lungs with the air you
breathe it soothes the raw membrane
and kills the catarrh germs. Don't
experiment longer Leading drug
gists everywhere sell Hyomei for ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, etc.

RUNAWAY
IS AVERTED

A dangerous runaway was prevent
ed from smashing a couple of store
fronts by the prompt action of officer
Frenck Saturday evening at about 6
o'clock, in Hammond
A hayrack, belonging to Henry Whit
aker and hitched 10 a team of horses,
was being driven by Tom Swantons s
little boy. One of the whifhetrees
became loosened, and falling at the
horses heels, frightened them.
In spite of all the Swantons boy could
do the horse ran away from the Sibley
street corners in the direction of Hoh-
man and State streets. Officer Frenck
was on the corner and saw the team
coming toward him.
With considerable presence Of mind,
he seized the horses by the head and
did his best to stop them. The mo-
mentum of the team was SO great that
Frenck came very near being pinned
between the horses and Scatena's store.
The swanton boy was 5o1ted on from
the hayrack. when It struck a telephone
pole. but was uninjured.

CARRYING CRUSADE
AGAINST BILL BOARDS
Police to Get After Out of
Town Advertising
Companies.

If there is a crusade that will be
generally approved, it is the one that
the police are carrying on against the
Hammond and other property owners
who have so little civic pride that they
are willing to rent a piece of ground
in the heart of the residence district
for advertising purposes.
There is a city ordinance which regu
lates bill boards and makes the pay
ment of a tax of SO apiece payable into
the city treasury. The police, under the
direction of Chief of Police Peter Aust
gen. are watching the city very care
fully and in a score of cases they have
stopped the erection of signs for the
reason that the license has not been
paid.
Already the city is plastered with big,
unsightly signs. and even some Of the
supposedly public spirited citizens, such
as the owners Of the corners OF Hoh-
man and ogden streets. do not hesitate
to spoil the appearance of the neigh
borhood for the sake of the $40 rent
they get out of the rign rent.

SATURDAY
Wild & Co. of Indianapolis
Pay $415 for Privilege to
Handle Securities for the
Broadway Improvement
Over Calumet.

The bonds for the Improvement Of
Broadway, in Gary, over the Calumet
river were sold at Crown Point on Sat
urday to Wild & Co. of indianapolis
for $4,000. There were only two bid
ders for the bonds, the First National
bank of Crown FONT and the above
company. who were successful in un-
derbidding. The premium to be paid
Is s415.
The work of building the roadway
and making the big fill over the river
will now commence at once. The con-
tract for constructing the road was
awarded. about two months ago, to
William Ahlborn of Hammond, who has,
however, been unable to commence the
improvement on account of the sale of
the bonds. Teams and men will be at
work on the contract by the end of
the present week. With the new switch
recently put in by the Nickel Plate rail-
road at Glen Park a great saving will
be made by the contractors for both
the bridge and road in hauling of ma
terial.

HAMMOND REPRESENTATIVE GETS
GOLD MEDAL At SOUTH BEND

Hammond is today proud of Edwin
Frederick. the representative Of the
local school, who went TO South Bend
and succeeded in tieing Irwin Dolk. the
representative from that place. for first
place IN the defamation contest.
The Hammond people who heard the
orations say that there were really on
ly two persons in the contest. and they
were Edwin FREDERICK and Irwin Dolk,
the representatives of Hammond and
South Bend, respectively.
FREDERICK took as his subject "Tous-
SAINT LOverture.' and Dolk took
'Beecher's Eulogy Of Lincoln" for his.
Those who heard the declamations say
that Friederich's voice was clear and
reached the farthest recesses of the
hall.
His enunciation was perfect and there
was not a word mispronounced or
syllable that could not be heard. His
voice was well modulated. and he won
the contest for the reason that his COM
petitor attempted so many changes Of
voice tones that they did not suit the
requirements of his defamation.

EXPERT DRIVER
GETS BIG OFFER
Three Chicago Auto Con
Germs Want Irving Betz to
Drive in Cobe Race.

Irving Betz. son of Frank S. Betz,
president of the Betz Manufacturing
company, is in mourning these days.
Irving is noted as the most daring
and most expert automobile driver in
the state and his reputation on automo-
bile row in Chicago is such that all
sorts of offers have been made for his
services to drive cars in the Cobe
chassis race next month over the
Crown Point-Lowell course.
Three auto concerns. who will have
cars in the races, have offered him
$500 to be at the throttle for them
during the events. One concern would
willingly raise it to a figure not far
short of 81 600 if Irving Betz would ac-
cept the job.
Frank S. Betz, the young mans IA
ther objects strenuously, however to
his sons taking part in the race, and
to Irvings impassioned appeals, says
firmly no"
The young man drove the Betz Stod-
dard-Dayton the long route from Crown
Point to Hammond, a distance of TWEEN
ty-fve miles, last Friday in thirty-one
minutes. and considering the turns and
distractions. this was a marvellous per-
formance.

SCORES OF AUTOS PASS THROUGH
HAMMOND TO|NSPECT RACE COURSE

over 200 automobilists went
through Hammond yesterday for the
purpose of looking over the automobile
course at Crown Point. It is understood
that other hundreds followed the sug-
gestion that it posted in every large
garage in Chicago warning the driv-
ers of machines that the roads north
of Hammond are poor and that they
had better take the Riverdale route.
AS result the Hammond restau-
rants and hotel men lost large sums of
money which are usually spent here,
and the automobile men who sell sup
plies and sundries lost just that much
trade.
The the worst feature is that the
thousands of people who will come out
from Chicago in automobiles in the
near future, in fact, every day until
the races in June, Will take the Riv
erdale route, and Hammond viii not
only lose a large amount Of valuable
advertising but the thousands of dol
lars that would have been spent here
VIII go elsewhere.
Crowd May Be 100000.
And on the day of the races, when
it is estimated that there will be all
the way from a quarter Of a million
to a half a million Of people go from

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
HEALTH OF SCHOOL Chill
DREN.

1t is stated that during the late
Russian-Japanese war the gen.
erals of the Japanese army were
not permitted to pitch their
camps until the sites had been
approved by their medical Off
GERS.
Do school trustees always con-
suit with medical men or trained
sanitarians before purchasing
site on which to erect a school
building?
1t too often happens that thou
sands of dollars are wasted on
useless ornamentation of school
buildings that would better have
been expended for additional
ground for light, air, and exer-
else.
If Japan looks so carefully aft
ter the health of its soldiers In
matters of camp sanitation, sure
ly we should GO as far In proVid-
ing for the health and comfort Of
the vast army Of school children
in this country.

Hard to Pick winner.

There was considerable difficulty in
picking the winner. Two Of the judges
gave Dolk first place, but the third was
so disgusted with his attempt at great
voice range that he gave him eighth.
Edwin Friedrich got one first and two
seconds.
According to the ranking this would
give Friedrich five points and Dolk ten,
which would make the Hammond man
first The South Bend people, however,
declared that the rules Of every other
oratorical league gave the winner OF
two flrsts in a defamation contest first
place, no matter what the grading of
the other judge was.
The rules of the Northern Indiana
Athletic and Oratorical league, how
ever. had no provision of the kind. and
as the judges had handed in their find
ing and left for home. 1t was finally
decided that both of the contestants
should have gold medals.
In the minds of the Hammond dele
cation, however, there is no question as
to whom the winner is, and Frlede-
richs is given full credit for his mag
nificent effort.

Chicago to Crown Point. 1t Is expected
that many of them will give Hammond
a wide berth because of the unprogres-

To show how Crown Point is profit

for as high as $25 a day in farm
