A Simple Prescription For the
Hair.

III the good old days our mothers
used to tell us to use garden sage
for dandruff and falling hair. A sim
ple infusion was made OF the common
garden sage and applied to the roots
of the hair This old time remedy Is
still used In many sections of the coun-
try to this day. Ii has also been dis
covered that the Indians OF the north
west used to make a brew (or teal
of the wild sage (sage brush) and ap
ply 1t for all scalp affections. White
people also used this sage brush tea
with good results. A careful study
has been made OF the different kinds
of sage and 1t has been found that
the wild sage or sage brush contains
much more of this certain curative
property than does the tame sage,
The reason for this 10 apparent. The
wild sage growing as 1t does In a soil
rich III sulphur and volcanic ash nat
urally contains much more medicinal
matter.
One of the main objections to the
use OF these crude preparations. es-
pecially 80 OF the wild sage. was the
disagreeable odor OF the brush. This
objection has been overcome after
three years of careful experimenting
In a laboratory especially fitted for
the purpose so that you can now pro-
cure a preparation free from all the
disagreeable odors but still containing
all tho active principles of the wild
sage. This preparation is guaranteed
to cure dandruft and stop falling hal-,
and will do so If directions are care
fully followed.

URoUHART AND KING FIND OB- JECTlONS TO IT AND BOTH BE-
 LlEVE IT IS NOT FEASIBLE
 MEASURE.

The bill which was presented for con sideration by R. B. Smyer yesterday morning has been discussed on all sides, and opinions of all kinds are expressed. MT. Smyer merely wished to provoke actual thought looking toward the aboli- tion of the fee system and has been very successful.
 Members of the legislature, at first glance, do not believe that the bill pre- sents solution of the problem. Repre- sentative w. E. Urquhart had this to say: T do not think the bill attacks the fee system in the least. It leaves the same incentive to mzake unjust arrests because the officer still gets a per cent of the fees. The fact that his fees were slightly lessened would simply redouble his energies to collect fees The object of the agitation, as I understand 1t, is not not so much to decrease the salaries as to put a stop to arrests for the sake of fees I think the bill should

THINK ANDERSON
 VICTIM OF THUGS

That Robert Anderson was beaten railroad track late Tuesday night is the belief of the coroner and physicians who examined the body yesterday at the Green Undertaking company's es- tablishment.
 Two bruises would indicate that the youth had been struck senseless with a pair of brass knucks or revolver. His left eye was bruised, while there was a gash two or three inches above the left eye, it appearing that the trigger guard of revolver had struck him in the eye and the pistol barrel further up on his head.
 County Physician Frank G. Grace made careful examination of the body and Is very much of the opinion that these bruises were not caused by the train which ran over Anderson. The black eye he states could not have been received at the time he was run over.
 Officers are working hard in an ef- fort to trace the movements of An derson up to the time of his death. Patrolmen Horan and Buckalew, who were on the scene immediately after the train ran over the body. closely questioned everyone in the vicinity in Anderson. Coroner Brasher has set Monday, July 5,fas the date for hearing.

 Emmet O'Neal of Florence spent yester- day in Birmingham on private business. When approached he said that he had not come to Birmingham for any political purpose, but that while here he had re- cefved calls from many of his friends.
 "I have been thinking about running for governor but 1t is entirely too early to make any decision," he said, and any rumors to the effect that I would enter at once are without foundation.
 Ut is too early yet for the people to know what they want, and it will not be until after the effect of the extra ses- sion is felt that the issues of the next campaign will shape themselves.'
 Asked what he thought. the greatest is- sue in the state at the present time, he said: 'rhe problem of increasing our prosperity. We must do away with all this clamor and ding-dong. cease to op- press capital, give the railroads a chance

 set limit to the salary and let it stop there.
 T am heartily in favor of abolishing the fee system and propose to vote for the most feasible bill that Is presented. :" Jere King said; "The trouble with Mir. Smyers bill Is that 62 counties in the state wouldn't stand for it. It does not increase the salaries in the little coun- ties at alls and this adds a great deal of work and bookkeeping for them to do. That was the trouble with the first the subject You must get bill that will please the other counties in tho state, or it will surely die in commit- tee.
 MT Smyer's bill does not hit the fee system, leaving the same incentive, IT not increasing it. The only solution 1 have been able to find Is to pass sal ary bill, and let the representatives and senators from each county set the sal aries for their own officers. However, I do not see how the short extra ses- sion can pass 1t, as 1t will not be in the call, and will require deep and long consideration. We may be able to rush the bill through, repeating the objection able features of the constitution, and making 1t possible for local laws to gov ern conditions as they are.
 However. I am certainly glad to see the question brought before the peo- pie, and I hope some new ideas may be brought out

ALDRICH GOES TO
 INSPECT GOLD MINE
BIRM MINGHAM MAN CALLED TO ARIZONA BY REPORT OF RE MARkABLY RICH FIND OF GOLD oN HIS PROPERTY.

T. H. Aldrch will leave for Cochise county. Arizona, today, where he has been called by information that rich find has been made in the gold mines in that county in which MT. Aldrich and other Birmingham men are in- terested. The mines are several miles from the nearest railroad and are in the heart of one of the most historic counties of Arizona. It was in this county that the famous Indian chief Geronimo was captured. and it is still one of the widest and most pie turesque counties in tfie state.
 Mir Aldrieh and his associates have been prospecting in the county for the past two years and telegram has brought the news that a remarkably rich deposit of gold has been located on the company's property. Other Bir- mingham men interested include Joseph Parsons and II. F. DeBardele- ben. It is stated that the mines in which G. R. Mccormick and others are interested are located only about 50 miles from the Aldrch property.

Board ApprOpriafeS Fund
 To Cut AWdy Mountain

The street car line will be laid immedi- ately, connecting with the North High land car line and tapping the land of the Edgewood and Highland Land companies beyond the mountain.
 The possibilities of this work in raising tax values and developing Shades valley are too vast to calculate. It has required patient plodding and energetic work on the part of President Steve Smith and Secretary George T. Brazealton of the new company, and they now have every thing in readiness to let the contract and start operations. The cut and line will cost $100000 when completed, and will be up-to-date in every particular. Franchises and rights of way are all se- cured, and the dream of years Is about to be realized. The plan of making an open cut through the mountain was worked out by Engineer Cotton, who demonstrated the value of this plan over the tunnel project

 T have come to the conclusion that a short session of the legislature is incom- potent to regulate railroad rates, and the only just and equitable way is to put the whole business in the hands of a commits sion, where both sides can be heard, and justice given both the public and the fail- road.
