The directors of the Northampton
Baseball association are planning to
hold a carnival the latter part of this
month to make money to meet the
deficit which now faces the club.
There will be sports of all kinds in
the morning and a league game in
the afternoon. In spite of its size
Northampton is not proving a won
derfully good ball town from a finan-
cial standpoint and the directors are
anxious to raise about 5000. The
club is not on its last legs by any
means but there is a healthy desire
on the part of those back of the team

FLOOD PREVENTION
RECOMMENDED
BY TAFT
PRESIDENT DECLARES GOVERN
MENT AND VALLEY STATES

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 4.-President Taft
told delegates to the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress in session here
he personally was opposed to any
scheme of improvement of the Mis-
sissippi river which did not contem-
plate as its primary object the proven
ton of floods. He favored an expen-
diture by the United States govern
ment and states in the Mississippi
Valley of between forty and fifty mil
lion dollars for Mississippi river i'm
provements. He declared his indorse-
ment of the Improvements would be
Forthcoming only IL the work were
placed in the hands of army engineers.
This is the first time the President
has recommended an appropriation for
waterway improvement contigent up
on flood prevention.

HOW THE RED CROSS
SEAL ORIGINATED.

"How did the Red Cross Chris tmas
Seal originate?' is a question that is
being asked by many during this holt
day season when millions of these
stickers are being sold all over the
United States. To Jacob Riis, the
well-knowl social worker of New York,
and to Miss Emily P, Bissell, the
energetic secretary of the Delaware
Red Cross, jointly belong the honor
of originating our American Red
Cross Christmas Seal. In 1909 Mr..
Kiss interest was aroused by the
receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on a letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer
looking stamp in the outlook, and
suggested some possible uses for it in
this country. Miss Bissell at once
saw an opportunity here and prepared
stamp, from the sale of which her
Society realized $4,000 for turbercu-
losis work. So impressed was she
with this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 on a national basis. With

The FIRST GRAY
HAIR sign OF AGE
Easy Way To Preserve Natural Color
OF The Hair And Make
1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color The care of
the hair, to prevent it from losing it's
color and lustre, is just as important
as to care for teeth to keep them from
discoloring. Why spend money for
cosmetics and creams to improve the
complexion, and yet neglect your hair,
when gray hair is even more con.
spicuous and suggestive of age than
wrinkles or a poor complexion OF
the two, it is easier to preserve the
natural color and beauty of the hair
than it is to have a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occasion
al use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation of COM
mon garden Sage and Sulphur, COM
bined with other valuable remedies for
dry, harsh, faded hair dandruff, itch
ing scalp and falling hair. After a
few applications of this simple, harm
less remedy, your hair will gradually
be restored to its natural color, in a
short time the danduff will be re-
moved, and your hair will no longer
come out but win start to grow as
Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make
or mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for fifty
cents bottle, and your druggist will
give your money back If you are not
satisfied after using. Purchase bot

he adds, needs board
of general appraisers within the De-
partment to supervise and unity the
work of the country
Mr. MacVeagh urges that all col
lectors and surveyors of customs ma
val officers, appraisers and assistant
appraisers, collectors of internal rev.
enue and all like officials of the Treas
ury Department whose appointment
requires confirmation by the Senate
be transferred to the classified civil
service. Complete separation Of the
Treasury service, especially the CLASH
fed part CT it from practical politics.
is recommended by the secretary.
The abolition of all assay offices in
the country except the one at New
York, is urged by Mr.. MacVeagh. All
assay work, he adds, should be done
at New York or at the mints.
Secretary MacVeagh announces his
intention of reforming the Treasury
Departments business methods by
scheme for the payment Of government
obligations in such a manner as 10
avoid exchange on government checks.
He does not divulge the details but
apparently contemplates the distribu-
ion of government funds at convenient
points ever the country for the pay
ment of checks. He points out that
pension checks, for example, in many
instances are not really worth their
face value because the difficulties of
collection enforce an exchange charge.
Other recommendations by the sec
rotary include: construction OF four
revenue cutters and building pro-
gram of at least two cutters yearly In
| future; power presses for the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing; pro
vision of disabled and old members OF
the life saving service; retirement
pension for civil service employees
complete revision of the oleomargarinf
law; legislation for the prevention oil
the opium traffic; and the creation Of
a bureau to supervise the expression
of laws" cooperating with Congress
to make their meaning plain to eXecu
! tive officials who enforce them.

very little organization and with hard
ly any attempt at careful advertising,
the sale that year brought in, never
theless, over $135,000 for anti-tubercu-
losis work in various parts of the
United States. In 1909, with more
thorough organization, the sale was
increased to $230,O0O, and 1910 to
nearly $4,000. Last year the sale
increased to over $33O,OOO, or 3S,OOO,-

While our own Red Cross gear dates
back only four years, charity stamps"
from which this idea originally sprung,
go back to 1862, when sanitary fair
stamps" were first used in Boston to
secure money for the care of soldiers
wounded during the Civil War. Near
ly 100000 was raised in this way
during the years 1862 to 1865. After
the war this method of raising money
was discontinued in this country for a
generation, although it found vogue
in Portugal, Switzerland Austria
France, npain, Denmark, Norway
/ Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now hundreds OF
different types of charity stamps used
in all parts of the world, as many as
forty being used in Austria for chill
dren's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used tc
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden il

CURRENCY SYSTEM


gress acts. And this is why Congress
sional action is urgent"
Pointing out that the banks fortu-
nately had been able to finance the
crop movement of the past autumn UNI
aided by the government, the secretary
says that the relation between the
Treasury Department and the general
financial world is part of the system
to be reformed. He added: Taking
large sums of actual money out of the
ordinary financial use and locking it
up as a dead mass in the vaults of
the Treasury is proceeding as I'M
scientific and unreasoned as any other
part of our unreasoned and unscien-
tific banking and currency system"
A relief measure reforming the
banking and currency system, the
secretary declares, must include
among its necessary features, pro-
visions for never-failing reserves and
never-failing currency, and for the
perfect elasticity and flexibility of both;
for the permanent organization and
organized cooperation of the banks,
which are now suffering and causing
the nation to suffer by reason of their
unorganized state; for a central agen-
cy, to represent and act for the or
ganized and cooperative banks-this
agency to be securely free from politi-
cal or true control, but with the gov
eminent having adequate and init
mate supervision of it; for indepen-
dent banking units-so Independent
that no one bank can be owned, con-
trolled or shared in in any degree,
directly or indirectly, by any other
bank; for the equality of all banks,
national or state, both as to standards
and as to functions-so that every
requirement made of a national bank
must be complied with equally by a
state bank, and every function or priv
ilege enjoyed by state bank shall
be enjoyed by national bank; for
the utilization and the fluidity of bank
assets; for the scientific development
of exchange-domestic and foreign;
for foreign banking as an adjunct of
our foreign commerce; and for taking
the Treasury Department out of the
banking business
Discussing customs reforms, Secre-
tary MacVeagh says that widespread
exposures by the present administra-
ton of frauds have resulted in an an
nual saving to the government of more
than $1O,OOO,OOO, distinctly an under
estimate"
To show thai incoming travellers
are now more honestly declaring
their baggage as the result of re-
forms, the secretary points. out that
at New York alone the revenues from
travellers imports have increased
from yearly average Of $s9O.6sS for
the previous administration to about
$2.1O0.O0O in 1912. This class of
frauds, he sayy. had been not only
conspicuous, but almost defended.
