The Valley Clarion
BY J. NJ. c.

Amos Duncan, our detective,
has been week ending in our
neighboring metropolis, Daven-
port, and rumor hath it that he
is being consulted in reference
TO some skulduggery that has
been going on in that city, the
instigators executing their dep
rotations so cleverly that the
entire peace-preserving depart
ment is completely baffled. We
will wager that if Mr.. Duncan
is allowed to work out his the
cries without interference that
he will impart a lot of import
ant information to the Daven-
port department. Only last
week a suspicious stranger was
seen lettering about our Valley
bank. When he heard that a
famous detective made his
home here he disappeared in
stanter. The night following
Spencer's store was visited by
marauders, who raised a rear
window, but Detective Duncan
pronounced this The work of
boys, inasmuch as nothing of
great value was taken. The cash
drawer did not contain any
money, as Mr.. Spencer has al
ways made it practice to car
ry the days receipts home with
him at night. We would sug-
gest to j. R., one of our Daven-
port newspaper contemporar-
les, that he keep an eye on Mr..
Duncan's movements while lin
gering in that city.
The glorious yuletide is with

A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A
Remedy forAII HairTroub|es.

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and in good condition {?
AS q matter of fact, Sulphur is q
natural element of hair, and q deficiency
Of it in the hair is held by many scalp
crecialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. Un-
q1estionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
Of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other valu-
,ble remedies for keeping the hair and

will be open also to persons who
desire to secure appointment only in

as possible, without expense, in your
locality, and every effort should be

Special to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, March S.-"We are
not making satisfactory progress In
reducing the loss of life in mines"
said Mr.. Joseph A. Holmes, director
of the United States Bureau of Mines
today. "And We will never make this
progress until we get away from the
theory and get down to actual prac'
tice, and develop that hearty, deter
mined cooperation between the mine
owner and the mine worker, which
is absolutely essential to success.
1T would be unfortunate and I'm.
pardonable If from the many Ameri.
can mine disasters of the past few
years we have not learned some les
sons that may help to prevent or
minimize future disasters, or reduce
the loss Of life resulting from them.
Mine disasters have resulted from
mine fires, gas explosions, or dust
explosions, or a combination of two
or all of them. The two most notable
recent disasters from mine fires we're
the Cherry disaster of Nov. 13, 1909,
where 259 men lost their lives-the
fire having started from the burning
Of hay in the mine stable-and the
Pancoast mine disaster, near Scran-
ton, Pa, where seventy-two men lost
their lives from a fire which appears
to have started from the inflammable
material at one of the under ground
power stations.
I'm neither of these two mine fire
disasters does there appear to have
been any accompanying gas or dust
explosion. 1t is evident that the men
were suffocated or poisoned by the
gases generated from the fire, except
ing Of course the few who were killed
from the heat Of the fire itself.
1.-THE two most important lessons
taught by these two disasters were
the risks that always attend the prac-
tice, entirely too common, of carrying
inflammable materials into the mines
and keeping them in the mine, and
the inadequacy of the methods and
equipment for fighting and extinguish.
ing mine fires. OF course we must
have timber in the mine, and no
economical method is now known for
flreproofing this timber. As long as
we keep mules in the mine, certain
materials must be carried with which
to feed them, but II baled hay must be
taken into the mines for feeding pur.
poses. it can be easily and superficial
ly wet either by sprinkling or dipping
it quickly into a tank of water, and
1t can be carried in closed cars, BY
all means the eaiest way to prevent
the risk of fires in mine stables Is to

What BUILDING and il
LOAN ASSOCIATION
Can ACCOMPLISH
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE CITED BY
PAPERS OF EASTERN CITIES.
Young People Living on Small Salary
Are Enabled to Own Their Own
Homes Shortly.

The practical benefit of building
and loan association such as the Bis
marck Building and Loan association
Is shown in no better way than In the
following instance cited by the New
York Evening Post:
Those with intentions of building q
home and perplexed how to 60 abou,
the solving of that problem, Will
doubtless be interested in knowing
how two homes were provided. Flat
dwellers with the notion in their
minds that they should have home
Of their own. providing it can be OBJ
tanned with means at their disposal
will find the subject of greater inter-
est than they who have means.
One of the local cooperative saw
ings and loan associations is at the
bottom of the plan, which will soon
complete two homes in Bergen county,
N. J.. for men employed in this city.
Two loans of $500 each were made
to build the houses. One loan Is
based on a payment plan Of $3.50
dues and $3.50 interest monthly.
The other loan is divided into two
mortgages, the first of $1,000 costing
the borrower SO a month, IS dues
and S for interest. The second mort
gage of 81, 500 is at q flat per cent
rate. interest amounting to $3.50, be-
ing payable monthly. The borrower
thus will have q comfortable six-room
house in an accessible suburb for
$3.50 q month, and he believes that
this is better than paying $21 a month
as he is now paying in rent for a
squeezed" flat. The more interesting
feature beyond the comparison In
quality and cost of the flat and pri-
vate house, is that the owner, while
paying $3.50 a month, will in few
years, have liquidated the second
mortgage Of 81 900, thus having some
thing more than mere rent receipts.
This process of home building
suits small salaried persons, as 1t Is
not burdensome, and, incidentally, Las
the attractive phase Of encouraging

love affair is that of Bruce and Vera

result is two broken hearts; therefor

to man ignorant of such things.
Persistency reaping it's reward was
exemplified by the same association
in the payment to one of it's members
of a 81 900 check. This man saved
$40 monthly for twelve years and two
months; these monthly installments
and interest recently brought him the
check for $4,000.
