A CALL TO CONSCIENCE.

Chorus girls wear silk stockings.
Prostitutes wear silk stockings And
the women OF the idle rich, who,
through the channels of soft luxury,
inertia and race-suicide, head toward
degeneracy" says George Warren in
the Houston, Texas, Chronicle, wear
silk stockings Silk hosiery is not
worn for warmth or economy; it is
worn because of its transparency;
and the number of women who thus
make themselves conspicuous upon
the streets of Houston is an indict-
ment on the morality of the city |

same reason that ! object to the Sal

BAKER AT THE BAT"
With Sincere Regards to the I'M
mortal Casey.

AAAOA loA (ooCJ'
By w. Harry Heisler,
The outlook sure was dismal for
Mack's great nine that day.
With the score at one to nothing and
just one more round to play;
And then when Collins died at first
and walked back with a frown,
There was gloom in every gesture
of the fans from QuakertoWn.
The Gotham bugs were leaving for
they thought the game was won;
Didn't Matty, peerless Matty, have
EN- stopped without run?
Then silent youth named Baker
came to bat and toed the plate,
His eagle eye was cleaning and his
batting poise was great.
But Matty, peerless Matty, had pre-
dicted what he'd do
To this same Baker fellow, for his
weakness sure he knew.
There'd be no repetition Of ball
knocked from the yard
For twas Matty who was pitchin'
not the rattle-brained Marquard.
So Matty, peerless Matty, signaled
Meyers and touched his hat,
While he wound up for the fade
away" with Baker at the bat
The ball tore straight across the plate
and Matty's grin was wide,
For the fade-away" was worbin
Strike one, the umpire cried.
I'll sneak a fast one over now and
make it number two"
Thought Matty as the horsehide to-
ward the waiting Baker flew.
The rest is better left unsaid, It's sad
when we recall
That over near the Polo grounds they
still hunt for that ball.
For Baker, mighty Baker, with a sure
and deadly aim,
Has knocked another home and the
crowd has gone insane.
His teammates fall on Matty in an
other round or two,
And the game comes back to Philly
by score of three to two
OH somewhere they still sell gold
bricks TO simple country folk,
And love to spring that poor, old,
worn-out Sleeping city" joke.
And somewhere little ''glooms' abide,
while busy spielers hawk,
But they never mention Bakers name
in little old Moo Yawk
Oh! Casey. famous Casey man who
brought TO Midwife fame
Creature taught to us since childhood,
but without an authors name,
You'll have to take a back seat now
and you'd best remove your hat,
For Baker, mighty Baker, Home

united in an effort this time to raise
funds for it's missionary work. The
army is ever on the go and constant
Iy doing something for the public
good.
The latest movement IL to hold a
series of special harvest festival serv-
ices which promise to do much good
throughout the city and this section
of the state. The movement is a ma
tional one and the local leaders feel
that 1t should receive all the material
help that the Fargo citizens can pos
sibly give it.
The fall harvest festival promises to
be a great series OF services and is
deserving of every announcement as
the Salvation army has done much to
upIift men and women, irrespective Of
creed, than any religious movement Of
Its kind in the world. Captain
Grasse has been very energetic since
he has been In Fargo and the army
has grown considerably.
A display Of fruit and produce will
be arranged for at the hall, which will
be gift OF the friends and soldiers.
A sale Of the same will take place the
latter part Of September or the first
of October. The exact dates Of the
sale will be announced later.

FEE QUESTION
BOBS UP AGAIN

The question Of fees in the Justices
ciurt arose at the regular meeting Of
the city council, last night, after the
reading of the several reports of the
city officers. Alderman Bodkin of the
Third ward objected to the reports
Of the chief Of police and those Of
Justices Torson and Wade and asked
for q full investigation He wanted
to be shown the authority for the dis
bursement OF the fees as now prac-
tfced.
This graft has been going ON long
enough, $72 was paid out last month
without warrant of law, and ] want
1t stopped. or Of any Of the fees are
just let them be paid by order Of this
council" said Mr.. Bodkin
Alderman Merritt agreed with his
colleague from the Third ward and
stated that the question came up In
July and here 1t was again. Mr.. Mer-
rift moved that the reports OF the
chief Of police and the justices for the
current month and those of July and
August be referred TO City Attorney
Rustad for full investigation and re-
port to the city council at the next
meeting so that the exact status Of
the subject may properly be UNDER
stood by all of the aldermen. The
motion prevailed.
The ordinance rearranging the fire
limits Of the city was read the third
time and 1t will be law after approval
and publication.
The building ordinance was read
the third time. but as there were some
ticklish points which were not quite
clear to the aldermen, final action was
put over until the next meeting.
An ordinance regulating electric
light wiring was temporarily placed
upon the table.
A requisition If the water and light
commission for $40 was allowed with
the usual formality.
The bond of L. w. Scrruth of Far
go, who is constructing a series of
lateral sewers, for the sum of $1S,-
261.40 was accepted.

DON'T PULL OUT

A FEW APPLICATIONS or A SIM
PIE REMEDY WILL BRING
BACK THE NATURAL

Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
VIII take its place." is an old saying,
which is, to a great extent, true, II no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear 1t Is a sign
that Nature needs assistance. 1t 10
Natures call for help. Gray hair,
dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is fall
Ing out, IL not necessarily a sign Of
advancing age, for there are thousands
OF elderly people with perfect heads
Of hair without a single streak OF gray.
When gray hair comes, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treat
ment should be resorted to at once.
Specialists say that one Of the best
preparations to use is the old fashion
ed sage tea" hich our grandparents
used. The best preparation of this
kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, preparation of do
nestle sage and sulphur. scientifically
compounded with later discovered hair
tonics and stimulants, the whole mix
ture being carefully balanced and
tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harmless.
1t refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Special agents, Fout & Porter

Dickinson, New England, Hettinger
and Mott, where he had considerable
business with the bankers Of those
places. 1t was strictly business trip,
even though made In an automobiles
and there was nothing that savored
OF any pleasure or an outing at any
time he was away.
Mr.. Beckwith told The Forum rep
resentative that he was very much
impressed with the condition OF the
crops through those counties on the
slope and felt sure that it was going
to be pretty good so far as the flax
went, though the outlook for wheat
was admitted not to be 80 optimistic
out there.
''But the early flax Is going to be
the crop on which the farmers OF the
slope counties are going to fall back

Berlin and the light cargo arrivals
which were firmly held. Advices from

there are light with arrivals at the
