million children in the schools about
8 million are said to be "repeaters" |;
many are so because of remedial de-

Equal in Importance are the ele-

Reliable figures are the absolutely
necessary basis of modern scientific
health work" Without them there
can be no real progress.
No part of the pubic service is so
undermined and underpaid as the
health department. In none is effici-
ency SO necessary. When paid in pro-
portion to the responsibility attached
and the training invoved, and freed
from political domination, the health
officer will be enabled to give the ser
vice required.
In the main, peope are quick to re-
spond to any kind of reform which is
presented acceptaby and reasonably.
For property protection there are
appropriations as high as $1.95 per
capita. For the pubic school system
Of this country millions of dollars are
voted annually. The people believe in
fire protection; they believe in edu-
cation, hence their willingness to sup
port these two systems. When they

budget from that of today, which, to
our disgrace, runs from one to forty
cents, being in a majority of states
less than five cents per inhabitant. To
insure protection against possible
foe, in 1912, the United States spent
nearly three dollars per capita. With
in our borders there are untold mil
lions of enemies to our health and
comfort against which we must bat

inhabitant.
For more efficient work there must
be first knowledge of conditions. We
know that sanitary evils exist. We
know that we are the victims of n.y.
gienic carelessness, but we do not face
the situation, we refuse to take any
stock. A total of $500 inspections,
covering the work of thirty months,
gives record of more than 1000 food
supply places condemned and many
others given the alternative, "clean
up or shut up" Yet, my own state is
no worse than any other. Did the

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use Grandmoth
er's Recipe of Sage Tea and Sui
phur and Nobody VIII Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother IS time,
She used it to keep her hair beautiful
ly dark, glossy and abundant When
ever her hair fell out or took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out.of date, Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 5O-cent bottle of
/" Wyeth S Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get this famous old re-
cipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandrff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair
A wel.knOwn downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, it becomes beautifully
dark, glossy soft and abundant. Local

PUZZLES OF SLEEP.
Noise and slumber and the Marvellous
RaplditY Of Dreams.


Rapidity Of Dreams.
Both Bismarck and Pepys found that
noise enhanced the value Of a nights
rest Bismarck condded in his old age
to nm interviewer that he could never
sleep in Berlin at night when 1t is
quiet, but as soon as the noise begins,
about o'clock in the morning, can
sleep little and get my rest for tho
day"
Pepys records in his diary on Sept.
%. 1861, that he slept at yelling "and
still remember 1t that OF all the nights
that ever slept in my life never did
pass a night with more eplcurism of
sleep; there being now and then a
noise of people that walked me, and
then 1t was very rainy night and
then | was a little weary, that what
between waking and then sleeping
again. one after another, never had
so much content in all my life"
The probability that we get snatches
Of sleep at odd moments when we sup
pose ourselves to have remained con-
tlnuously awake is supported by the
phenomena Of dreams. Mark Twain
accounted for his own disappearing
visitor by the belief that he had un-
consciously had a very short nap, and
many have explained visions Of ghosts
as due to dreams during such short
maps.
For nothing is better established in
connection with dreams than that an
apparently very long one can occur
during an almost infnitesimal time.
Alfred Maury had long, vivid dream
Of the reign Of terror, including the
trial Of himself before the revolutions
ary tribunal and his execution, and
was able to show that 1t all happened
during the moment Of awakening by

ASSESSMENT Of SOUTH
HIGH MAY Be MADE
Possible That Satisfactory Agreement
May Be Arrived at With Ag-
grieved Property Owners.
THREE APPEAR AND TELL
OF CONDITIONS ON STREET
Specifications Violated, Unjust Assess
ments Made and Unsatisfactory
Paving Laid, They Say.

Frank Hughes, Dan ]. Fry and John
Carson appeared last night before a
special committee of the city council,
named to hear protests against the max
ing of an assessment for the improve
ment of South High street, and explain
ed why they did not believe the con-
tract had been complied with by the
Montague-O o Reilly company. j. c.
Compton, representing the company,
promised at the close of the meeting,
that his company would resurface the
hill with El.oso next year and the city
will endeavor to straighten out the as.
sessment determinations complained of.
Hughes asserted that he had been
charged 1915 more for excavating than
was just, his claim being that excaya-
ton work done several years before
had been charged in with the rest. He
had been Offered reduction of $50 by
the city, but did not consider it more
than about one-eighth of the amount
to which he was entitled.
Specifications Changed.
Fry charged that the specifications
had been changed 30 that the surface
on two blocks of the street was not Ell
Oso. 1t was explained by the repre-
sentative OF the Montague-0 o Reilly
company that the change of paving was
ordered by the city engineer, who fig.
ured El'oso was too slippery for the
hill and ordered rougher coat.
Fry asserted he was being assessed
for 1850 feet fill, when but 474 feet Of
fill had been placed. He also told of
being charged with drain pipe for lots

off any of the gentlemen of the com
mittee can find any drain pipe on the
two lots, I win eat the pipe" said Mr..
Fry.
Further Mr.. Fry doubted the Justice
of the 5 per cent charge for engineer
ing expenses.
Carson wanted the committee to view
the paving in front of his place and
say whether the contract had been com.
piled with.
Wants to Furnish Bond
An attorney for the Montague. o 'Reil.
ly company proposed that the company
be paid and permitted to furnish a
bond in the sum of $4,000, which would
cover anything in the way of repairs
needed. He argued that it was unfair
to the company to keep $4,000 of the
$4,000 involved in the contract tied
up.
Earlier in the evening Councilman
Stolz, chairman of the street commit.
tee, reviewed the history Of the paving
deal 1t had been done last year when
he was not in the council, he explained.
The contractor had been delayed by the
negligence Of the city in not having
the South High street bridge construct
ed so that he could grade and pave up
to it. II was sc days after the con.
tract for the paving was let before the
contract for the bridge work was com.
menced.
