BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL Cost
"A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair. Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and iustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
Of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil. -. b
You can bring back the natural color
Of your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color Of the hair; and Sulphur is recog.
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair anC
scalp troubles. ~
If you are troubled with Fdandruf
or itching scalp, or If your hair i
losing its color or coming out, get /,
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage anC
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance O
your hair after few days treatment

defense fund was supposed to be ex-
pended except by check, signed by
Clarence barrow as trustee
Where did Bert Franklin get the
big roll of bills with which he sought
to tempt Venireman Lockwood? Not
through barrow, l sincerely hope it
may be proved.
The "I-knew-him-when" club in Ash
tabula county, Ohio, is doubtless find
ing a great deal of meaty gossip in
connection with Darrows arrest, for
it was in Ashtabula county that the
lawyer passed his rather picturesque
youth. He told me about it in Los
Angeles, with reminiscent chuckles.
Law practice wasn't very brisk in
Andover," he said. Il used to get into
! long poker sessions to kill time, and
! got so interested that it made me sore
when wOuld-be clients came and tried
| TO pull me out of a game l can't re
member which was least profitable
the law or poker"
Darrow was still young when he
moved to Ashtabula, where he was
elected city solicitor
Il didn't know much law, but
needed the money" he told me-
From Ashtabula barrow moved t
Chicago, where his rise was stead!
and brilliant. There he engaged il
politics and espoused the cause of la
Dor. He stumped Illinois for John F
| Altgeld when the latter was demo
cratic nominee for governor
OF late years Darrow has often bee
rated as a socialist, but as a matte
of fact, the socialist party has dis
claimed him ever since he supporte
the candidacy of Prof Merriam, re
publican. for mayor of Chicago agains
Carter Harrison. barrow says he neN
er was a socialist. He Is an indt
pendent.

HOME PICTURE IS
A PITIFUL SCENE
Young Man Nearly Frantic
With Grief Because of
Wife's Action.
APPEALS TO MAGISTRATE
Seeks to Find Some Remedy That
Will Make His Domestic Life
More Tranquil.

Forced to work from 10 to IA
enough money to pay for the keep
of his wife and little children, and
then to come home to house that
can scarcely be called home, take
care of all the homework from cook
ing to caring for the children and
tending to the fires, just because his
wife refuses to turn hand to help
things along, is the predicament in
which young fellow finds himself
today. He sought out Magistrate c.
j. Smith a few days ago and asked
for advice as to how he could best
remedy conditions. His wife had
done nothing which would warrant
him in registering complaint against
her and causing her arrest and so
what could he do?
SEEKS A REMEDY.
He was nearly wild with grief
over the condition of his domestic
life and was willing to take any
steps, however drastic, to find a way
out of his dilemma He says that
during the day his wife does moth
ing. The children, one of whom Is
a mere baby. she pays no attention
to at all. The baby is allowed to
scramble about in filth and its
clothes are never changed, day in
and day out, until the husband, tir-
ed with his work, comes home and
does that portion which his wife
should rightly do.
LIFE is DRUDGERY.
His life, far from being one of Joy
to him as it should be, is fast be-
coming an awful drudge and unless
circumstances are soon altered in his
home, it will be broken up and good
ness only knows what will become
of the members of the little family
Things have gone from bad to worse
and there is no apparent let up il
the trouble. He says that he ha!
plead with his wife and offered ev
erything in his power to change he
attitude toward her family, but sh,
merely SCOTS at him and lets him d,
the work.
Is PITIFUL SCENE.
1t is one of the most pitiful scene
that has been depicted in Rocl
, Island in many day. Tht
matter is to be taken before the pc
lice matron in event that other rem
edies fail in result, and If neces
sary, the children will be take

When the McNamaras were arrest
ed barrow accepted a retainer of $780,
900 and agreed to conduct the trial at
500 a day. He rented house in one
of the most pleasant quarters of Los
Angeles and will doubtless continue
using it for some time.
barrow is Independent in his ideas
of dress, although never careless. He
appeared at all sessions of the McNa-
thing like Romeos, fastened with
buckles. like arctics He evidently
wore these Longing shoes for the
ease they gave him. He almost in
variably wears low collars and string
ties His suits are extensively tail
ored.
Darrow's court room manner indi
Gates his ability and his unusual
power. His quiet, easy confidence
when conducting the defense of an
other betokens great resources held in
! reserve He has the faculty of winning
talesmen and witnesses who would be
| badgered into complete illustration by
similar questions put by less finished
! lawyer In moments when he shake:
off his reserve and brings all his bat
teries to bear, he is remarkably strons
in his power to sway the minds of au
ditors
This bribery scandal means TRACED!
to Darrow. He feels a broken man
with his life's achievements gone {,
wreck. We may not say that his spiri
is crushed, but the facts approximate
that.
A woman of rare poise and charm
Mrs. barrow is undoubtedly sourc
of strength to the accused man jus
now. She took an intelligent interes
in the Haywood and Mcnamara trials
and is in close sympathy with he
husbands work.

PEOPLE ASK FOR
WATER REBATES
City Requested to Stand Share
of Expense for Frozen
Surface Pipes.
COUNCIL CONSIDERS CLAIM
May Be Necessary TO Lay Mains Be-
tween Seventh and Ninth Ave-
nues on Seventeenth Street.

Numerous requests for rebates in
water rent because OF expense caused
for repairing frozen surface pipes and
water mains have been made of the
city authorities by people residing be-
tween Seventh and Ninth avenues on
Seventeenth street. During the Janu-
airy cold snap the surface pipes in that
neighborhood were frozen as far as the
FONTS connecting them with the mains.
II was necessary 10 hire plumbers to
remedy the difficulty, and the expense
Incurred amounted 10 over $50 for most
concerned. Some have asked that the
city rebate their fair share OF that in
water rents. At an informal discussion
OF the matter before the commission
at its special session yesterday. it was
the consensus of opinion that Il would
be establishing a bad precedent
should the city do any such thing.
FROST BELOW PIPES.
Il is true that the water pipes are
but from two and a half to three feet
below the surface and that the frost
has gone into the ground more than a
foot below the pipes. II is the fault OF
those who laid the pipes. II was stat
cd yesterday afternoon that it would be
best II the city would relay them
as soon as the frost goes out of the
ground II is not an unusual occur
renee for surface pipes TO freeze, but
when II goes into the main, there is
something the matter with the system
n it is decided TO relay the pipes at a
lower depth. almost the entire paving
will have 10 be torn up along the sec
ton in question.
ALLOW BILLS.
Bills were allowed for more than
$1,000 on ordinances submitted by Com
missioner NJ. T. Rudgren.

sonal story OF Attorney Clarence s.
barrow was written for this paper by
the correspondent who represented US
at Mcnamara trial in Los Angeles last
fall and who became acquainted with
the noted Attorney
BY VIRGIL v. M'NITT.
The arrest Of Attorney Clarence
barrow at Los Angeles on a charge
of attempting to Oribe jurors in the
Mcnamara case surprised no one
more than those who came TO know
barrow at the trial: He seemed too
big a man TO become involved in
such an ugly undertaking.
c. p. Connolly has written for Col
lier's Weekly a scathing denunciatory
article in which he accuses barrow of
sacrificing his clients, the Mcnamara
brothers, in an attempt to save himself
from being drawn into the bribery
scandal. Take it from the article. Con-
nelly suspected DarTow of unloyely en-
terprises in connection with juries as
far back as the MoyerHaywood-Petti
bone trial.
Yet in the early stages of the trial
Of ]. B. Mcnamara at Los Angeles
last fall, Connolly gave me his opin
ion OF Darrow in terms that were
anything but harsh.
barrow" said Connolly at that
time. is a humanitarian, like Louis
d. Brandeis. He engages in the
struggle of the workingmen because
he believes in their cause. He is
not a conventional lawyer, digging
for the intricate details of the law
He is a general, fighting for the
masses of humankind"
No one can deny Mr. Connolly the
right to change his opinion. Man!
others may have altered their origina
conclusions relative to this big crimi
nal lawyer. The incident illustrates
how a close analyst and critical oh
server like Connolly was made TO fee
that he had deceived himself.
For my part, l liked barrow yer,
