A WOMAN ON SCHOOL REFORMS.

A gymnasium in every grammar
school, the abolition of the public
dance hall and the noodle joint and
the substitution of the supervised
playground and the ncighborhood
social center will be urged by the
committee appointed this week by
the Spokane Child Welfare league
to investigate conditions in oriental
cafes and public ballrooms
This is the statement of Mrs. w.
Fl. Page, secretary of the league and
| chairman of the committee. Con-
! tinuing she said:
why spend thousands and
! thousands of dollars upon our high
school equipment-thc school of the
! favored few-and not one cent upon
the masses of children who never
reach the high school? The cause
of their failure to reach the high
school may be lack of physical
strength to stand the mental strain
of school.
The public dance hall and the
noodle joints must go. The school
house must be made an institution
a university of the people, 1t is
here we want our boys and girls to
meet for social life. Here we want
the tired father and mother to find
recreation, relaxation and stimulus
Our campaign will not alone be
corrective, but preventative. 49,.
1t is noa our intention to take
away the noodle joint and the pub
lie dance hall, places of amusement,
without providing healthy sub
stitutes.
We want supervised play grounds
and the wider use of the schOOlhOuse
as social center, without having
to pay fees to the janitOr.
This committee will be enlarged
and it will number upon it the most
progressive men and women of the
city. We are determined to get re-
suits"

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Ma
tural Coloc-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea of using sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our great-grand-
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using "sage tea"
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked appear
ance they made a brew of sage leaves
and applied it to their hair, with
wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready-made product. Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, containing sage in the proper
strength, with the addition of sui
phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers Of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented. ..<
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
a few days. use. ~.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

TEACHING DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

The latest consular advices state
that in view of the fact that at
least 100000 railway employees in
England get less than twenty shill-
ings. or $4.S7 per week, much inter-
est is shown in the efforts to teach
domestic economy in the public
schools. The South Shields Educa-
tion Committee is trying, through
it's teachers, to show how a man, wife
and two children can best live on an
income of 2l shillings, or $5.11 per
week. That would puzzle many a
family in Bemidji.

WHY NOT HERE?

Announcement from the throne
declares that from this time on
women of Sweden will be permitted
to vote and to sit as members of
parliament.
Four CONFERENCE.-The of the
United States by constitutional
amendment have extended to women
the electoral franchise, the sun
streaming state of California being g
the latest to take such action.
In Minnesota last winter one vote
only stood between the continued
arrogance of men and a step toward
just freedom for the women of the
state.
Splendidly have the women of
California used the new power and
splendidly have women fought the
Beast in the Jungle of Colorado by
sending death darts into his heart
on election day.
Is there any good reason for fur
ther delay in Minnesota?
Senseless twaddle of the disrup-
tion of home ties and the peril of
unwomanliness stand as sickly say
ings in light of recent events.

ONLY IN BOOKS.

It's only in books that the wonder
ful sleuth looms up on the scene of
crime, and drags from a mountain
OF chaos the truth, in less than 10
minutes Of time. It's only in books
that the wealthy man dies; be-
queathing million of bones, to the
virtOus schoolboy who helped him to
rise when he fell on the iced paving
stones. It's only in books that the
beautiful girl, whose father is rich
as a Turk, hands forth the ice tongs
to a duke or an earl, and marries a
grocery clerk. It's only in books that
the Injun appears hero of bearing
sublime, and not a cheap skate with

a yearning for needs and longing
to borrow dime. It's only in books
that the poor man inventS doodad
that brings him the brass; it's only
in books that the pirate repents and
teaches Sabbath school class. It's
only in books that the morning mail
brings the news of a fortune to you;
it's only in books that improbable
things are worked OFF as though they
were true.--Walt Mason ...-

\. J. Children's Home Society.

To the Editor,
My dear Sir: The New Jersey Chill
dren's Home Society receives home
less children, of all ages, from every
part of the State and is seeking for
them homes in Christian families.
1t also provides temporarily,
through it's Aid Department, for small
children, whose parents are in the
hospital or otherwise unable to care
for them, hoping thus to conserve
the home.
Inasmuch as the Society's Receiving
Home at Trenton is overcrowded and
its field workers burdened with re-
quests to provide for the relief of
large numbers of little children who
are in great need we would like to
present their needs to the people of
New Jersey through the press.
The Society needs at the present
time permanent homes in Christian
families for small children, but es-
pecially for boys under 10 years of
age.
It, also needs homes, for a brief
period tfor a few weeks or months)
for attractive children who are to be
returned to their own parents.
We believe that in this great State
there must be somewhere a good
mother for everyone of these lonely
children.
These little ones with faces unfed
with mother kisses, deserve a Real
home with Real parents where they
can have individual love and sympa-
thy.
The unspeakable heart hunger of a
child subjected for long period to
institutional care, justifies this appeal.
By publishing their needs, as indi-
Gated above, you can help US to find
mothers for them
Any person desiring information
concerning the children should adj
dress the undersigned.
A field worker will call personally
upon any family in any part of the
State who will consider giving one of
them a home
Thanking you for your cooperation,
Yours heartily,
C. v. WILLIAMS,

Wolf in her will.
To Sa1lie Cobb, another friend, is
left $1,000, while two sisters and a

each. The Hurffville M e. Church
gets bequest of $500.

G. Maud Courtier and Sam'l Ladner,
and occupied by Samuel Densten and

work. The fire was under the roof,
near the chimney, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that strong wind was
blowing, and the cold was intense, the
firemen put out the flames with only
$500 to $500 loss.

ment to the bylaws doing away with
the Vice and immortality committee
Same was laid over for two weeks.
Mr.. Martin brought up the PROPOSE
ton of electric storage batteries for
the fire alarm system, saying lit would
make the system far more reliable
and in the long run would cost NO
more than the present unsatisfactory
service Fire Chief Shivers also ad-
vocated the electric system. The
present system cost 1882 last year
The initial cost of the batteries for
the new system is $4,000. No battery
repairs would be necessary for six
years. The Chief will report further
at subsequent meeting.
Mr.. Shivers said there had been
trouble in the past to get the Bell
Phone Co. to take proper care of the
fire alarm wires, and thought it might
be well to see what could be done to-
ward having them placed under
ground in the conduits already laid.
He said he would investigate the mat
ter.

pointment of Harry Murphy as spec

Quite discussion followed ais tc
whether it should be taken every

Iof Mr. Wickershan, the Chief and
the Fire committee are to grant the
leave of absence as they saw at. Chiei
