WOMEN, LOVELY WOMEN
"Fair Presses Mans Imperial Race
 Ensnares," Says Pope.

The greatest of feminine attractions is beautiful head of luxuriant hair. Glorious hairl Great poets have sung it's praises; artists have endeavored to portray it accurately, but have seldom succeeded.
 Are you a woman?
 Would you crown yourself with glor- ious hair? Would you add doubly to your present attractiveness?
 Then go to the drug counter and ask for bottle of Parisian Sage, the grea [ hair tonic and beautifier. A large bot tie costs but 50 cents, and in one weeks time it will change harsh, Iusterless, untidy hair into soft, silky and lux uriant hair.
 Parisian Sage is fully guaranteed by Lee & Osgood Co., to stop falling hair, cure dandruff and itching of the scalp in two weeks money back.
 It kills the microbes, that's how 1t cures dandruff. It is a pleasant and invigorating hair dressing, and is not sticky greasy.
 'I have used Parisian Sage two weeks only, ct in that time I find my hair has wonderfully increased in beauty, thickness and luxuriance But what surprised me most was the dis appearance of all dandruff It pleases me to recommend such an efficient remedy to all my friends. Gratefully yours. Mrs. Maud Hagar. 617 West 136th St, New York City

FORTY EIGHT HOUR LAW
 IN POSTOFFICE.
lu Operation on March 4HProbably
 Two Extra Men Needed Here.

On March 4th the new AS hour law in the postal service will go into ef- feet. It will cause readjustment of schedules for clerks and carriers at the poStofice, and Postmaster William Caruthers has already a tentative plan mapped out. It looks very much as if the operation of teh law would ne- cessitate two extra men at the post office.
 The following is the text of the law
 That on and after March 4th letter carriers in the city delivery service and clerks in first and second class post offices shall be required to work not more than eight hours day; proVid- ed that the eight hours of services than ten consecutive hours. and the schedules of duty of the employees shall be regulated accordingly.
 That in cases of emergency or if the nee+~ of the service require, letter car riers in the city delivery vice and clerks in first and second class offices can be required to work in excess of eight hours a day, and for such addi- tional services they shal be paid ex- tra pay in proportion to their salaries a fixed by labor.
 That should the needs of the service require the employment on Sunday of letter carriers in the city delivery ser vice and of clerks in first and second class post offices. the employees who are required and ordered to perform work shall be allowed compen- satory time on one of the six days the Sunday on which they perform such service.
 The 0 nly exceptions to the appli- cation of this law are substitute and temporary clerks and carriers who are paid at the rate of thirty cents an hour.

I de- sire to have my entire force meet MT. Bennett, so that he may be inducted into his official place with an acquaint- ance with every man on the staff
 Tt will be impossible for MT Ben nett to outline his policies relative to just what he desires to do in the way of the conduct of the work, and, be- ing newly inducted into office, he has not as yet shaped his policies.
 The work must go on until such times as he has arranged his plans. There must be no sulllin% in the ranks nor any departure from the usual method of caretaking of the work un- til such times as Mr. Bennett origi- mates some other plan.
 The new commissioner. Charles J. Bennett was born in Frone England, in February, 1878 He came to thies country when only years of age and received his early education in the common and in the high schools of Amsterdam. N.
