pAssINa OF &c BICYCLE.

Many a reader Of The Forum will
agree with The Detroit Free Press in
the following concerning the growing
disuse Of the wheel which was once so
popular all over the country, and
which is now only used by the few
"one Of the worst things that ever
occurred in our midst was the passing
of the bicycle from general use. IL
would be better for all concerned IL
there were thousands of riders in each
OF the cities today, although the CONF
ing of the automobile might make it a
little hazardous remarked G. II. Har-
rison Of Chicago, at the Hotel Cadillac.
Z often think of the days when /
would go out and take a. spin Of ten
miles or so and then feel fine after it.
"A ma would ride a bicycle because it
was not as hard work as walking, but
he would go so much farther and actu-
ally get about the same amount of ex-
ercise, at the same time he gave his
lungs a most thorough renovation.
Those who lived at a distance and rode
down to work in the morning, say five
miles, felt good and worked with a
will.
For myself, ] make it up by walk
ing. Whenever / have a half day to
spare in any city / take a long hike,
fifteen or twenty miles do not bother
me In the least. Nothing puts me in
such good shape for a days work, If
d person will do this he will not miss
his trusty bike so much, but the per-
centage of walkers is small"

A LONG DELAT.

Much is said nowadays in regard to
the long delays in securing justice
from the courts, and in this connection
the following from The Atlanta Geor-
gian viii be Of interest, as showing
that other bodies move slowly:
The courts of the United States
have become notorious for their de-
lays. 1t takes no expert statistician
to compile q formidable list of cases
in which delays have been the means
OF thwarting justice.
But are the other branches of our
government without blame in this re-
spect? Who has not heard Of the red
tape Of the administrative departments
at Washington, with their divisions,
subdivisions, bureaus and pigeon holes,
with their chiefs, assistants and as
sigtant assistants in interminable nu-
merical order, and Of the football
among them one must be to get his
wants considered and acted on?
The case of Lorimer, however, Is
more recent and to the point. He was
elected to the United States senate
by the Illinois legislature May %, 1909
Certain happenings connected with
his election warranted an inquiry into
the propriety of his being allowed t.
retain his seat. The senate set out t.
investigate. 1t is investigating yet.
Lozimer had one trial and was ac-
Quilted or Observation-Disclosures
You please. "A motion was made for {
new trial. The senate duly considered
the motion and finally ordered the re.
hearing. The committee spent I'll,
summer and autumn with it and has
now resumed activity with the ap.
proach Of spring.
Have the courts anything on the sen
ate with respect to delay2
Lorimer's term expires in 1915. H,

ficiaIly informed whether or not h

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
AT SMALL COST
A SIMPLE REMEDY 5EAuTlFIEs
THE HAIR, CURES DANDRUFF,
STOPS FALLING HAIR.

What a pity it is to see 50 many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most Of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre If they would but use the
proper treatment, There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-ive
years of age, and there is no excuse
for anyone, young or old, having thin,
struggling hair. either full of dandruff
or heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You car bring back the natural color
of your hair in q few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandrufe and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color OF the hair; and Sulphur is rec
ognized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment Of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you. are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or If your hair is
losing it's color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance of
your hair after a few days treatment.

THURSDAY. JAN. IS, 1912.
A GOOD BANK SHOWING.

THE Forum publishes this evening
somewhat a remarkable showing in re-
gard to the banks of this state. II n
d d both the national and the state
banks, and Is therefore complete. The
comparison is made of and
liabilities at the date of the last two
calls for reports-Sept i 1911 and
Dec. S, 1911.
The loans and discounts of the ma
tional banks increased $1S6, 263.4s dur
ing the period mentioned while those
OF the state banks dropped $4~67,0s0.95.
The amour due from other banks
increased 1858, 426.25 with the nation
al banks, and S4,036, 224.04 with the
state institutions.
Cash items and exchanges with the
national banks gained $19O,941.22 and
with the state banks $251,839, while
the cash on hand increased respective
ly. s47s,95s.15 and $5s0,05s.so- a very
healthy showing.
Under liabilities the showing is gen.
orally a very favorable one, though in
re-discounts and bills payable there
are decided increases, which r usual
at. this time in the year, but these do
not equal the increase in the amount
due from other banks, which item
should be considered in connection
Herewith.
The great feature Of the report,
however, is the wonderful increase in
deposits subject to check-the national
banks showing an increase of $4,272,-
23S.52 and the state banks $6,179, $685.
IL a gain of over $4,000, 900 in three
months. This is money available for
business purposes.
The statement as a whole is worthy
of careful study, and evidences that
the banks are being conservatively
handled as a rule. and that the people
OF the state have secured some of the
money brought to them by the har-
vests of the past season.
