father APPRISED
OF SONS PLIGHT
Sentence for Otto Neef With
held Pending Receipt of Word
from Grand Rapids.

States Attorney F. E. Thompson to-
day caused notification to be sent to
the father of Otto Neef of the latter's
plight brought on by his stealing var
ious articles at the New Harper house
while employed there as a bell boy.
The lad plead guilty Saturday when
arraigned in the circuit court but
Judge Olmsted refused to pass SEN
tence on him until his father could be
notified. With the consent of the
father, the sentence can be minimized
by commitment to the training school
for boys at ST. Charles. In case the
father does not give his consent to this
action, there will remain nothing to do
but send the boy to the reformaJory at
Pontiac. He is guilty of grand larceny
and his record leads the authorities TO
believe that severe measures should
be taken to correct him before it is
too late. The youth, who is but 16
years old, has a father and two sis
tiers living at Grand Rapids, Mich

Proprietor Arrested.

AS Mrs. August Bauermeister stood
behind the bar of her husbands sa-
Icon, Twelfth street and Fifth avenue,
Saturday afternoon, a giant negro
came up to her and following the ex-
ample set by Jack Johnson, the dusky
pugilist who loves none but white wo-
men, grabbed her by the arm and said
Il would just love TO hug and kiss
you" The woman's husband then
rushed TO the spot and ordered the
negro out of the place.
Incensed at his ejectment, the Negro,
Henry Terry, went to the police sta
ton where he secured an officer to go
back to the place, his claim being that
Mrs. Bauermeister had robbed him of
SIS. 4 larceny charge WIS preferred

bartender, J. W Guesford, and negro
bystander, Bud" Little, were arrested

I;ieister was informed by Commission
Ell Hart that repetition of the offense
of selling drinks to drunken parties
would be followed by a revocation of
the saloon license.
According to testimony, Terry enter
ed the place with the announcement:
- am one tough niger, have drink

others ordered for which Terry would
not settle. The bartender insisted
upon payment, and Terry slapped him
10 the face. Terry claimed that Mrs.
Bauermeister had taken SIS of his
money, but there was no evidence to
substantiate the charge and the case
was dismissed. The bartender used
rough language to the negro and was
therefore found guilty of disorderly

ing OF Twenty-ffth street. He pointed
out the difference between the two
thoroCghfares. how Twentieth has at
least a freedom from mud and is
passable at all times. while on the
other hand Twenty-fifth street is in
such condition that it is absolutely
impossible at times on account Of

Just why one street which is in glar-

by while another which has been
paved for years should be forced to
repave, was beyond his comprehension,
he said.

Task for Inconsistency in I'm
proVement Plans.

Two public hearings on improve

in the mayors office this morning
by the board of local improvements.
we're postponed-that on the Twen-
tieth street repaving until Jan. %,
and that on sidewalks on Twentieth
and IWenty-secCnd streets south of
Twelfth avenue until Feb. 8. The first
postponement was the result Of a de-
sire of a committee of property own
ers and the board of local improve
ments to go over background together
and see for themselves whether or
not Twentieth street can be suitably
improved without new paving being
laid. The other postponement was at
the request of one of the Directing
property owners who is too i'll TO ap-
pear at the hearing at this time.
TAKES COUNCIL TO TASK.
l.. S. White addressed the board of
local Improvements and members of
the council who were present at the
meetings this morning, taking the
commissioners to task for what he
termed their Inconsistency in improve
ment matters. Mr.. White is one of
the interested Twentieth street prop

as not being opposed TO repaving that
street it is found that such a course
is necessary to have a thoroughfare
that will stand up under the traffic.
However, he said, he could not under

Make Hair Grow
Restore Color

Dandruff is disease that does positive in
fury to the hair follcles and hair roots EV-
ERY DAY it is permitted to exist. Unless
you can afford to be bald JUST A LITTLE
LATER ON you cannot afford to neglect
dandruff or falling hair for ANOTHER DAY.
But don't use any hair tonic without KNOW
ING FOR YOURSELF just what it contains.
The safest way is to either mix your own
tonic or 60 to druggist whom you know to
be reliable and have him mix it for you An
absolutely safe and unquestionably the most
eficacious formula you can possibly use is
this very simple one: ounces Bay Rum, 2
ounces Lavona de Composee, " drachm Mem
thol Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and after
standing half an hour 1t is ready for use. II
you choose, add drachm of your favorite
perfume. Apply night and morning, rubbing
into the scalp with the fnger-tips. Insist
upon this exact formula, If you have your
druggist mix it for you, and you will have
tonic that you can depend upon for quick and
lasting results. 1t will not only rid your scalp
Of dandruf and stop your hair from falling,
but 1t will cleanse and beautify the hair to a
remarkable degree. 1t contains an ingred-
lent that stimulates the growth Of hair and
which also is believed to stimulate the activ-
lty OF the pigment forming cells so as to
partly or fully restore prematurely gray hair
% Its natural color without the use Of any dye.

Courage Not Needed.

The greater part of the courage that
is needed in the world is not of an he
roic kind. Courage may be displayed
in every day life as well as in historic
fields of action. There needs, for ex-
ample, the common courage to be hon.
est, the courage to resist temptation,
the courage to speak the truth, the
courage to be what we really are, and
not to pretend to be what we are not,
the courage to live honestly within our
means.-Smiles.
