COSTLY RESIDENCE
INSHERIDAN CIRCLE
One of an Increasing Class
of Beautiful Homes.

While location is great a factor in
the value and comfort of a home that a
small house we'll located is often better
than a large house poorly situated. there
are to be found in what are known as
the exclusive residence sections of the
city houses that are at once large and
we'll located.
Such a residence is that at - Sheridan
circle. which has just changed hands dur
ing the past week at a price reported to
have been about $4,000 1t is one of a
great class of beautiful residences for
which Washington is fast becoming IA
'nous. There is strong and growing
inclination on the part of many who are
compelled to spend a large part of the
year in Washington to erect handsome
and commodious homes in the CAPITAL
Many who have done so in the past
have found such ventures most profitable
when they have desired to sell them Bv
the natural enhancement of property and
the building up OF vacant lots in the
more desirable portions Of Washington
certain sections have become exclusive
and prices prohibitive. 1t is not alone in
the business parts Of the city that lots
nre to be found that no price will tempt
the owners to sell.
Such sentiment also prevails in some Of
the more desirable residential districts,
where 1t is becoming harder and harder
to acquire houses. whether for residence
or investment. Parts of Connecticut ave-
nue. and Sixteenth street are among such,
and the residence mentioned is one Of
that class.
The sale of this residence was effected
through the Office Of Z. Brainerd, act
ing with Story & Cobb. The name Of the
purchaser is withheld for the present.

Terra Gotta Railroad stations.

Six terra Gotta railroad stations built

EVERY DAY COUNTS NOW.


Holiday shopping is at such full tide
now that every day makes important
differences in conditions In the stores.
The stocks decrease and the work
presses harder on the employees. Ev-
cry day is less favorable than the day
before for buyers and delays cost
more now in convenience and satisfac-
tion than they did week ago.
All Of the sound arguments for do
ing holiday buying as promptly as
possible which have been urged since
the season began are more cogent now
than they were farther from Christ
mas. A month ago it was question
of weeks-as far as material changes
went-but now it is a matter of days.
A little longer and the conditions win
be less favorable than they are sure to
be today.
And early in the day counts much
in the holiday season. The morning
hours are freest, least crowded, best
in every way, in the stores. Early in
the week, early in the day. is the time
to seek bargains without delay

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY COMMON GARDEN. SAGE, A
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DAM
DRufF, FALLING, FAD
Ed, GRAY HAIR.

The old idea Of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age OF
seventy i've. while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used TO make a sage
tea" and apply 1t to their hair. The
team made their hair soft and GLOSSY.
and gradually restored the natural
color.
One objection 20 using such prep
aration was the trouble of making 1t,
especially as it had to be made every
two or three days, on account Of sour
ing quickly. This objection has been
overcome. and by asking almost any
first class druggist for wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy the public
can get superior preparation Of sage.
with the admixture OF sulphur, another
valuable remedy for hare and scalp
troubles. Daily use Of this prepara-
ton will not only quickly, but viii al
50 stop the hair from falling out and
make 1t grow.
Get a bottle from your druggist to-
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish.
This preparation is offered TO the
public at fifty cents bottle. and is
recommended and sold by ali drug
gists. Special agents. Fout & Porter

prior association Of the boy defendant
and the girl victim were also given
consideration. But 1t is asserted that
the chief reason for the inability OF the
jury to agree was that the minimum
sentence was ave years IN the peni-

had the minimum penalty been year
or two years--instead OF another

It is probable that criminal action

insisted that a conviction under such
a charge could be more easily OBJ
tained as the punishment is much less

The fact that 13-year -old girl be-

evidence that crime OF some degree
had been committed. This much. at
least, is self evident. Public opinion

LAuNpRlEs FOR FARMERS.


The ST. Paul Dispatch says:
a lecturer from the Kansas college
of agriculture is telling the farmers of
that state how they may establish and
maintain cooperative steam laundries.
The subject is equally interesting to
those on the farms in some parts Of
Minnesota. The lack Of facilities for
laundering clothing on farms is one
of the drawbacks Of life in the coun-
try. The drudgery of washday adds
no little to the unattractive features
of country life for women. The Kan
san shows that it is possible for the
farmers in any community to have all
the advantages of city facilities in the
way Of caring for the family washing,
and at comparatively small cost.
The lecturer gives detailed figures
on the cost of equipment for a small
laundry that could be used by the var
ious farmers in turn. The apparatus,
70 be installed in some centrally To-
Gated building, as for example adjoin-
ing the neighborhood creamery, would
cost $12S.62. 1t would enable the
women to do the family washing in a
few hours, with no discomfort and
small expense. Another laundry cost
ing $429 would make it possible for
more extended operations. A plant OF
that sort, which might be operated in
connection with a creamery or by a
farmer with a couple Of grown chill
dren, would handle the laundry work
of all in the community and at prices
that would pay a profit on operation
and yet be attractive to patrons
The Kansas suggestion is worth
considering in Minnesota as on line
with the efforts that are being made
to do away with the drawbacks of
farm life.
