NO REPORT
MADE BY
COMMITTEE

Owing to the absence OF Councilman
John Kane, chairman of the streef and
alley committee, who was called to his
former home. Kingston, Canada, by the
death of his mother last week. the com
mittee had nothing to report to the city
council last night on the question of in
stalling the ornamental lights for the
business district John Moriarty. a
member of the committee informed the
council that he had not yet received
word from the chairman of the COM
mittee. and by common consent the
committee was continued for another
two weeks
Councilman John PascaIy attemp pied
to amend the resolution for continuance
SO that the committee should also re-
port on extending the lights on Hoh-
man street. from the river north to
Gostiin street. but his motion was out
of place in this connection, and he
made further effort to get before
the council in another way. 1t would
indicate. however. that some of the
councilmen at least are inclined to make
| a concession to the north side property
| owners.
| All the councilmen were present with
| the exception of Mr.. Kane
| j. A. Aubry. the north side druggist.
+, was at the meeting armed with a petit
ton of north side property owners
asking for the extension of lights on
Holman street, but owing to the fact
| that the committee was continued he
| did not submit the petition at last
nights meeting. 1t will. however, be
presented at the next regular meet
| ing.
| Rules were suspended for the adop-
| tion of an appropriation ordinance, pro-
| viding for the transfer of $1,000 from
| the general fund to the police rrnd.
| Councilman Harry Eastwood asked
for better lighting facilities on Plum
mer avenue between Holman and Oak

yesterday afternoon when he fell from
a five-foot scarold pitching him head
foremost to the ground, whence he was
picked up lifeless. His body was re-
moved to the family residence. where
arrangements are being made for his
funeral
In the best of health and spirits yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Seberger went to
his work at a building in Black Oak
which he was erecting. About 4 o'clock
he was standing a f1ve-foot scaffold
and suddenly, without any warning, he
fell face foremost to the ground below.
He never uttered a. sound or moved q
muscle. and when fellow workmen
reached his side all efforts to restore
him to life were futile. Coroner Smith
held an inquest over the remains this
morning. rendering a verdict of acute
diiolation of the heart, his death no,
resulting in the fall.
Mr. Seberger is known all over Lake
county and at ono time resided a.
Crown Point. With his family he NOV
ed to Black Oak a number of years ago
where he prospered on a farm. Follow

DON PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a
Simple Remedy Will Bring
Back the Natural Color.

.tPulI out one gray hair and doz-
en- will take it's place" is an old say
ing, which is, to a great extent, true,
If no steps are taken to stop the
cause When gray hairs appear 1t is
a sign that Nature needs assistance.
1t is Natures call for help. Gray
hair, dull, lifeless hair. or hair that
is falling out, Is not necessarily a
sign of advancing age, for there are
thousands of elderly people with per-
feet heads of hair without a single
streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restorfng
treatment should be restored at once.
Specialists say that one of the best
preparations to use 1t the oldfash-
Toned sage tea" which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation OF
domestic sage and sulphur, scientifi-
cally compounded with later discov-
cred hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixtuer being carefully bal
anced and tested by experts.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less 1t refreshes dry, parched hair
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to It's. nat
ural color.
Don't delay another minute Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur al
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 a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
igists. Agent l.. Harry Wells.

Taken to Chicago.

Little Hattie Sorner, the Bernice girl
who involved half of the population
OF a number OF small towns with her
charges. has been taken to the Cook
county girls school at Chicago.
She will be kept there until she is
old enough to know right from wrong.
In the meantime the men who ruined
her are scottfree and their adventure
is the subject of many a merry quip.
They have the game and the girl has
the name and the penalty. The states
attorney did not even take steps to
prefer minor charges against the de-

OUTLINES NEW STUDY
COURSE IN SCHOOLS

Keeping pace with the needs of the
city of Hammond, and in accordance
with the modern educational idea to
adapt the study courses to the needs
of the child. Supt. c. NJ. Mcdaniel of the
hammond schools has outlined a new
study course, which is designed espe-
cially for the benefit of such eighth
grade graduates. who, instead of TAX
ing up a high school course of four
years. would enter a private business
school for the purpose OF equipping
themselves stenographers, book
keepers and typewriters.
Until now the taxpayer was COM
PEELED to help support a school system
which, because OF his circumstances
could be no benefit to his children, be-
cause they were compelled to leave the
school after completing the eighth
grade and in order to equip themselves
for the business world he was COM
PEELED to pay tuition in a private bust
moss school and yet pay his school
taxes.
Private Course Unnecessary.
Under the new order of things this
will be changed. The board of educa-
tion and the school teachers would. of
course. prefer to keep every child until
1t has graduated from the high school.
but in the cases of most children this
Is an impossibility. In the course of
time when Hammond gets its industrial
training high school another large
class of children will receive instruc-
ton along lines not open now.
Nonresident children who wish TO
avail themselves OF the commercial
course will have to pay 81 a month
tuition. the same as they pay for the
regular high school.
