ANNUAL REPORT
Big Increase In Earnings for
Last Year.

According to the ffty-eighth an
nual report of the Leh1gh Valley
Railroad Company the net decrease
of that concern in net earnings dur
ing the past fiscal year, as compared
with the preceding twelvemonth, was
S781,467. The gross operating rev.
enues amounted to $36,905,9 35 dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1912,
which decrease, as mentioned in the
foregoing, was due entirely, the re-
port reads, to the suspension of min
ing In the anthracite region in April
and May and the consequent loss
during that period of the company's
principal traffic. This city suffered
as well during those two months as
the employees of the company In the
Perth Amboy coal yards we're forced
to suffer a lay-off during the dull
season. .fF
Continuing, the report deals prin-
cipally with improvements to the
company's rolling stock and other
equipment, such as bridges, road
beds. etc, The appropriations for
improvements during the year
amounted to $3,869,006, of which
s340,944 was deducted from in
come. The report also makes
ton of the fact that the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company Is no longer In the
business of shipping coal and selling
it in the market. A new corporation,
the Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Com
pany, formed in January, now buys
the entire production of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company at the mines,
under a contract which went into
effect March 1.
There are many interesting figures
contained in the report. The gross
operating revenues in 1912 amount
ed to $50, 905,935, as compared with
$37,687, 402 during 1911. The oper-
ating expenses during 1912 amount
ed to S24,720,249, which left a net
operating revenue of s12,185,6S5.
The expense account in 1911
amounted to s23,407,3 1S, which
gave a net operating revenue of
$~14,2S0,084. The ratio of operating
expenses to operating expenses in
1912 was 66.9S per cent, as COM
pared with GIL per cent. In 1911.
The net income of the company dur
ing the last twelvemonth, deducting
for additions and betterments,
amounted to ~$6,472,075, a decrease
of $1,047,3S1 from the preceding
year. The officials Of the company
accept the report, taking all In all,
as most favorable.

WITHOUT RIGHT
Hungarian Restaurant Keep
er Fined Strange Connection

On a charge of selling liquor with
out a license John Szabo, who has
been In charge of a Hungarian res
taurant at 515 Smith street, was
fined $40 last night by Recorder
Kehoe. He was arrested by Detec-
tive Sergeant HUFF when found sell
ing a connection of Rhine wine,
syrup and settler. The detective
confiscated a sample of the wine and
offered it to the court as evidence.
He said it was a poor grade of Rhine
wine. The court said 1t was no
Judge of wines and referred Detec-
tive Huff to the reporters with his
sample. One Whit convinced that It
was a poor grade of Rhine wine.
Szabo sold out his business to
Charles Karoly yesterday and it was
by means of this transaction that
the police learned the liquor law was
being violated. Detective Huff in
vestigated. He learned Szabo was
in the habit of selling a mixed drink,
comprised of Rhine wine, syrup and
settler, for five cents. 1t seemed to
be a popular drink among Hungar-
ians, Poles and Slavs and there was
q big demand for it. When the de-
tective appeared and inquired about
the drinks sold, Szabo wanted to
mix one for him. The officer insisted
on seeing the Ingredients before
mixed. Szabo hesitated In producing
a jug containing the wine. Contrary
the p~roprietor's wishes the officer
took O sample of the wine.

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,
chew, until the food is liquid and
insists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften
.Grape-Nuts with hot milk or
cream, or allow to stand a min
ute soaking in cold cream.
"There's a Reason" as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
OF hard and brittle granules, in
tended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only pre-
serves the teeth but brings down
the saliva from the gums so ne
cessary in the primary work of di-
gestion.
Many people say (and it is
true) that when they eat Grape
Nuts they seem able to digest not
only that food but other kinds
which formerly made trouble
when eaten without Grape-Nuts.

SAGE TEL WILL
DARkEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruf.
Quickly Removed.l

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use OF
a simple fSage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method Of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by sl;iliful chemists better than
We could do It ourselves; and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-rnade
product Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-t time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to TIE hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you viii
be surprised at the Quick results. An
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money win be refunded if the
remedy is rot exactly as represented.

state bull moose convention and to
the bull moose congressional conven-
ton in his district, walked into the
democratic headquarters in the kar-
pen building yesterday and announced
his Reputation of the third-term can

Roosevelt was named by the third
term party Mr.. White, who had helped
to bring about his nomination, was
enthusiastic in his behalf, but recent
events have cooled his ardor AID in
fact led him to support Governor VIII
son.
The disclosure of the fact that
Standard Oil contributed to Roose-
velt's campaign fund, the support of
Roosevelt by Perkins and the steel
trust and harvester trust interests as
well as other developments of the
campaign have caused Mr.. White TO
abandon his support OF Roosevelt. Mr.
White emphasized his change of heart
by Informing Representative A. S.

bureau, that he was willing to devote
his time to the campaign to the ex
tent of making speeches wherever the
committee might desire to send him.
