INTEREST IS
RENEWED IN
M. c. A. WORK
FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT
Small Indebtedness, However,
Must Needs Be Met Soon

With the renewal of interest in the
general work of the Y M. c.. A,
which has happened under the re-or-
ganization and new management of
that institution, there has come to be
impressed upon the people of Ameri-
Gus the need which the Y. NJ. C. A. has
for the sympathetic support of every
citizen of Americus.
There are at present urgent needs
that the institution has and which
should be met at once if the organ
ization is to become the force for
good in the community which it should
be. Mr.. w. P. Wallis, president of the
organization, pointed out these needs
yesterday in response to an inquiry
from a representative of the Times
Recorder
"The chief concern given to those
who are working for the upbuilding of
tho Y. M. C. A." said Mr.. Wallis, "is
the matter of the debt which must be
met by the institution. | do not refer
to the bonded Indebtedness of $4,000,
but the $3.50 interest on these bonds
and the $4,000 due for the furnishings
of the building. These are obligations
which should be met as soon as they
can be conveniently disposed of.
"The directors and the general man
agement of the organization make a
special appeal to the people of Ameri-
Gus to respond to the needs of this
worthy institution and to meet this
obligation that should not be allowed
to run over any longer. There are
many other worthy causes which have
claimed the support of the people Of
the city but few that are more worthy
or which have claimed less than the
Y. M. C.
The promise for future success in
the work of the institution are most
excellent The work has been re-or-
ganized and placed upon a basis OF
systematic and business-like manage
ment. Interest is daily increasing and
there is no doubt but that the work
will mean more in the future than It
has in the past. 1t is for this much
wished for consummatlon that the
management is working now with all
the vigor and determination of which
it is capable.
ut is the purpose of the manage
ment, as soon as obligations just re-
ferred to have been met, to start
fund to construct a natatorium. A
space for a natatorium was reserved
when the building was constructed, so
that if funds can be obtained this ex-
cellent adjunct to the Y. NJ. c. A.
equipment can be added probably next
summer. Barring the obligations now
due, there is no improvement for the
institution that would help to give It
more popularity and usefulness dur
/ ing the summer than natatorium.
A special appeal is made by Mr..
Wallis to the young men of the COM
munity to rally to the support of the
Association and to help to remove the
Indebtedness mentioned and also to
build up every department of the work
so that the institution may become
practically self-sustaining financially
and an unmistakable power for good
in the community.
The members of the board of tTus-
tees who have general supervision of
the building are Messrs. Thomas Har-
rold, Chairman Lee Council w. E.
Brown, L. P. Gartner, John Shefield.

Beautiful
Women
But Alas, Without Beautiful Hair
No Woman Can Be Handsome

A great many newspapers and maga-
zines are printing pages on how a
woman can be beautiful and keep beau
tiful.
And all of them, as you can see for
really beautiful unless she has lustrous
and luxuriant hair.
The women of Paris are, as a rule,
beautiful, and a careful American OBJ
server who has Travelled much claims
that their beauty is due to their knowl-
edge of how to keep their hair luxu-
RANT, which they do by using a superior
hair tonic.
Many American women are as wise
as their French sisters, and that is why
PARTISAN SAGE, the quick acting and
greatest of all hair restorers and tonics,
is now having such a tremendous sale.
We ask every woman reader Of this
raper to give this marvellous hair beau
tifier a thorough trial. and we gladly
make them this liberal offer:
Get large 80 cent bottle from Henry
Evans or Jas. O'Donnell today. Use
it as directed for two weeks II, at the
end Of that time, you are not satisfied
with results, say so to Henry Evans or

your money back.
Besides being a delightful and invig-
Grating hair dressing, PARTISAN SAGE

CALLED.
IN MONCURE CASE
Condition of Lawyer Beaten
at Rockville Alarms His
Physician.

Periods of semi-coma, constantly re-
curing, have alarmed the physicians
attending Richard c. L. Moncure, and
the Virginia lawyer, who was beaten
in Rockville a week ago, probably will
be brought to this city for treatment
by specialists.
He passed a bad night last night
When DR.. Clifton King, of this city,
saw him this morning, he advised a
consultation of specialists. Dr. King
has been treating the injury to Mr..
Moncure's eye.
While the lawyer lies in a serious
condition in his home, in East Falls
Church, the Rockville situation. which
involved the arrest of Peyton Whelan,
deputy sheriff; his brother. and a man
named Offutt, remains unchanged. The
preliminary hearing to be given these
men, who are charged with the assault
on Mr.. Moncure, was set for Thursday.
1t is likely, however, that postpone
ment Of the hearing will be asked on
account of the victims condition.
A few days after the beating Of the
lawyer, Whelan resigned his position
as deputy sheriff. No one has been ap-
pointed in his place. A petition was
presented to the Rockville court yester-
day afternoon by Attorneys Wampler
and Goth requesting the issuance of a
rule against Peyton and Joseph Whelan.
charging them with jointly assaulting
the Virginian and with being guilty Of
contempt of court.
This action was taken on the ground
that as Moncure was engaged in the
trial Of a case he was an officer Of the
court at the time he was assaulted.
Mr. Moncure showed signs OF rapid
Improvement until Saturday, when the
periods of coma became manifest. II Is
not expected that the mans mentality
is permanently injured or that he will
lose the sight of one of his eyes.
