PLUMBERS WANT
 LAW TRANSLATED They Held a Little "Tea Party" With the City Fathers Last Night and Asked Embarrassing
 Questions.

The city fathers and the master plumbers met last night in an inform al sort of way very much like a , o'clock tea party where everyone talks at once and goes away without being able to remember what was said. Sel- dom indeed has the council been called upon to solve quite so intricate a mat ter as that which the plumbers brought before them. They talked about "Y's." quarter bends and "clean outs" till the solitary reporter in the corner thought it was d pipe dream. Any way he thought, whatever the coun- cil does about it, it's a lead pipe cinch for the plumbers.
 Every plumber in the city was pres ent. Building Inspector Jim Creighton sat on one side of the big desk and City Attorney Tom Prescott on the other. The plumbers wanted to know what the ordinance relating to plumb ing really means. They asked Creigh- ton what it meant and he admitted he didn't know and asked the counca for an inte---etation. He might as well have askod the policeman on his beat to make a spectral analysis of the gas in the comets tail. The plumbers had disputed among themselves the mean ing of certain passages and words in the ordinance. J. H. Mulrane, who has the contract for the plumbing in the new bank building. thought it meant one thing. and Bill Evans and others thought it might mean something quite different.
 The trouble among the plumbers be- gan when Mulrane went to the build ing inspector for a permit to install the plumbing in the bank building. He was asked the usual question, "Wiil you put in the plumbing according to the specifications of the ordinance? and it is alleged that he said he wouldn't He said the ordinance called for inferior plumbing in one place at least, and he did only first class work. Thereupon the permit was refused. It is said that Muhne went ahead and put in some of the plumbing anyway. It is the first four-story building erect ed in Phoenix -fn-s some time. and the ordinance did nor~spem to adequately prescribe for the case.
 There was the question of whether ! the ordinance prescribed 'extra heavy | or standard weight for waste pipes and soil pipes. In such a building as | the bank this meant a difference Of | quite a few hundred dollars, beside 1 setting q precedent for all other four | story buildings There were many
 minor details about "Y's" and quarter
 bends" on which the ordinance was 1 vague and nebuious. The plumbers went to Inspector Creighton. but he coyIy slipped out of the dilemma by suggesting that they go before the ! council with their riddles.
 Creighton asked that the ordinance l be amended and translated: that the duties of the inspector be defined and that provision be made for commis-
 sion to consist of the inspector and 1 councilman with the assistance of
 plumber when needed to untangle ab- i struse problems. The council will take up the matter of the amendment at 8
 meeting to be held tonight.

Throwing His Fortune away.

Throwing away what one has is not always the only way to lose a fortune. Being unable to see an opportunity, or to grasp it when seeing it, is more often the cause of losing out in this world.

Delicious Gingerbread.

Children are great lovers of ginger bread, and grown folks, too, if it is of the rich "melt-in-the-mou:h" kind. The following recipe by the famous Mrs. Mary J. Lincoln, is commended to those who delight in this delicacy:
 Mix two cups flour. one-half level teaspoon salt, one level teaspoon soda, one level tablespoon ginger; stir in one cup molasses. two tablespoons softened Cottolene and one-half cup boiling water. Bake in shallow pan. If for des- sert. bake in layers. Fill with whipped

PULL OUT A HAIR.
The Way to Tell Whether OF
Not Your Hair is Diseased.

Even if you have a luxuriant
head Of hair you may want to
know whether it is in healthy
condition or not. Ninety eight
per cent Of the people need a
hair tonic. You can make a test
yourself that you can see and
understand, which will tell you
whether your hair is healthy or
not. Pull hair out of your
head; if the bulb at the end of
the root is white and shrunken,
it proves that the hair is diseased
and requires prompt treatment if
it's loss would be avoided. If the
bulb is pink and full, the hair is
healthy.
We want every one whose hair
requires treatment to try Rexall
''93" Hair Tonic. We promise
that it will not cost anything it
it does not give satisfactory re-
suits. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is
designed to overcome dandruff,
relieve scalp irritation, stimulate
the hair roots, tighten the hair
already in the head, grow hair

READY FOR CONGRESS-.
Presidents Federal Incorpora-
ton Bill Com pZeted.

Washington, Jan. 27.-After being sub
jected TO the close scrutiny of prominent
lawyers and undergoing repeated revision
the bill embodying the ideas Of President
Taft and his Cabinet for a federal incor-
poration act is now ready to be introduced
in Congress. It's preparation represents
months of labor by Attorney General
Wickersham and Secretary Nagel in get
ting together a measure that it is believed
will stand the test Of the courts and safe
guard the public interests. Presumably i'll
its main features the bill is in accord with
the Presidents message on the subject and
the preliminary draft published several
weeks ago.
Corporations obtaining charters under the
bill will be held to strict accountability for
observance of its provisions, for no fewer
than three distinct methods are available
to dispossess them OF the privilege Of doing
to alter, amend or repeal a charter; the
right Of the Commissioner of Corporations,
who issues the charter, to sue for a re-
ceivership in case of a violation of any Of
its features or for alleged insolvency. and
the right of the Attorney General to begin
proceedings for annUlment for violations
of the Sherman antitrust act. PROCEEDINGS
instituted by the Commissioner of Corpora
tons or the Department of Justice may be
resisted by injunction or other legal means.
