periodical freight car shortage. de-
clares tine Omaha Bee, by prevailing
upon all shippers to return each car
to active service Just as soon as pos
sible. 1t seems quite agreed that
the need Is for keeping the equip

emit volume of equipment how would
larger numbers prevent them unless
they were recovered by efforts not

on the shippers on the ground that
the highest possible efficiency from
the existing number of cars would
afford more relief than an increase
In numbers. I

this point forcibly to public atten-

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN It
It's Grandmother's Recipe TO
Keep Her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Thick.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray.
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment. and folks are
again using 1t to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sensi-
bic, as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is. Of the greatest
advantage. si
Nowadays, though we don't have
the troublesome task OF gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores selltthe ready-to-use
product called aWyeth's Sage and Sui
.phur Hair Remedy"h for about so
cents bottle. 1t is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover 1t has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb
or soft brush wlthit andi draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. hut what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that. besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, II
also produces that soft Iustre and APP
peaarnce of abundapceswhich is SO at
tractive; besides, prevents dandruff,

aBee Days, IN summeIr.s

Our neighboring county of Sum
mers, through number of its cit
liens, has. designated October as
Good Roads Day. Those who cannot
spend the day upon the roads are re-
quested to contribute a sum equal to
a days work in cash. 1t is inspiring
to observe a sentiment forming in the
good old county of Summers for bet
ter roads. and had we not so much
need for donations for better roads in
Raleigh We would feel constrained to
chip in the amount of days labor
to the cause. The Bee Days are great
good roads boosters and arouses an
interest in better roads that is hard
to incite otherwise than by a liberal
supply of elbow grease.-Raleigt

The chief value of the extra con-

The Biddinger Fees,

No. . Z
Attorney General Lilly disposes OF
the contention of those who believe
the iBiddinger witness fees ought to
be paid that there was no way
to compel Biddinger, nonresident,
to attend court at Webster Springs,
nor, TO compel him to attend future
hearings of the legislative bribery
cases. 5He shows that Biddinger
could have been compelled to furnish
bond for his personal appearance as
a Witness as provided under sections
1924 and 1926 of the code. Strange
ly enough the officers who are urging
the payment of the detectives fees
are the ones who continually failed
to detain min in this manner.
1t is a compliment to the present
state administration that high state
officials have held up the payment of
these fees. The act shows the ad-
minIstration officials are men OF
practical business acumen as we'll as
conscientious in the discharge of
their duties. Biddinger, the Burns
detective, charged the Edwards
crowd only s25 a day for unearthing
the bribery cases and he offered to
testify before the legislative bribery
committee for s25 day, a compen-
satlon all VIII agree is quite ample
