COURTHOUSE GANG HEARS YARN
ON CONDUCT AFTER MARRIAGE

Mount Zion church grounds. This beau
tiful and romantic spot was the seat Of
one of the strongest and richest Mis-
sionary Baptist churches in the country
Great crowds of people and voters were
there assembled, and Crog was In fine
fettle as he surveyed the vast gathering,
and worked along up to the point where
he was TO launch that irresistible joke
about Brother Monk.
with great emphasis, and much verbal
embellishments he fired that anecdote,
and before the echoes of the yarn had
died away. and before the crowd had
time to laugh or cheer, Uncle DiclSey
Pace the venerable and beloved pastor OF
the Mount Zion congregation arose, and
with his voice trembling, and his white
hair streaming in the wind, he held up
warning hand, and said In a voice half
filled with tears:
Brother Whatiey implore you. as
servant of the Lord never tell that mar

Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
" darkened, glossy and abundant with
a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When

dull, faded str>eaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won

bottle Of this old-time recipe, ready to
use for about SO cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair and

A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because 1t darkens SO natural

too. You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw it through your

stored to Its natural color and looks

sTARyE OUT SCAyENGERs
Theory That They Are Carriers of
Disease

Several prominent European physicians
are concerned over the presumable fact
that cockroaches are carriers of cancer,
and considerable space has been devot-
ed to the subject In medical periodicals
abroad, says the New York Times. Amer
lean Medicine makes these comments
based on an article that appeared in the
Lancet, of London;
Two investigators conceived the idea
and, though the facts pre-
sented are. not conclusive, they are suf-
fcient to warrant an investigation of
these dirty little scavengers. Indeed,
we are now so accustomed to the idea
of disease being carried by the animals
which feed on the garbage and dirt we
collect or on the tissues of unclean per-
sons, that there is nothing startling in
the view that coclroaches are also bio
logic as we'll as mechanical carriers.

THE sermon Is this. the evidence is
overwhelming that we must live in such
clean way that we have no need for
self-appointed animal seavengers like
Oriental dogs. buzzards, rats and cock

The man who has a dirty backyard or
cellar is a public enemy. That is, the
sphere of public sanitary authority must
be extended to our homes. A house can
not be considered a castle safe from in
trusion If its harbors public enemies and
outlaws.
"The era of cleanliness is here, and
woe betide him who still lives in Oriental
filth and medieval carlessness.',

hoot as yet," said the Coroner, $50
my ideas on how the partnership
should be conducted can be looked on
Iby you fellows. as untested theories.
But being as have got tolerably old,
and have kept up a right smart chance
of observing the way parties act when
yoked together, it is a ten to one bet
that my conclusions is purity night
right.
:. "rhe husband what let's his wife hem
peck him the first year will get domi-
neered over all the balance of the time,
and the woman that starts in mushy
affectionate and obeying will follow that
play to the end of the trip. The attitood
that q gent first assumes toards his
bride can be grouped under two great
subdivisions.
The st. Elmo Position
"aT,he first one is the Saint Elmo posi-
ton, where the yoked he party gives a
fesble imitation of Lord Chesterfield.
Beau Brummsll. Alphonse and CASTOR,
Governor Vardaman.
I'm this act the husband walks about
like he was treading on eggs, sleeps in
. wing of the palace block away from
his wife; kisses her hand at meeting, and
don't use word in talking to her un-
der three feet ing. He waits on her
sedulous-he comes and he goes, he
fetches and he carries, he breathes and
he sneezes only at her sweet command.
He carries on with that woman until she
gets to thinking that she is a cross be-
tween God Almighty and the Queen Of
Shelby; the wife is the democratic ex-
ecutive committee and the returning
board of that outfit, as well as the COM
mission form of government for the whole
shebang.
Bed Slat Position
'sThe bed slat position is the opposite
of this. In assuming the duties of this
phase of married life the husband is due
to have some muscle, and a right smart
chance of nerve. AS chairman of the
meeting he closed matrimonial debate
by using bed slat as the previous ques-
tion. Such little interludes in the de-
bates as broken crockery, busted chairs
and handful of hair tore out'en his
, head don't feaze him. but ne purSues ms
unfettered way regardless of these lit
tie eccentricities. A perfectly good heart
pine bed slat is a potent argument, and
. conducive to great peace in the family,
and I never heard of one of these in
struments being offered as exhibit A.
in divorce suit. At 1rst start off this
here bed slat system might strike the
women suffrage clubs as brutal scehem,
but Lawd fellows it's purely human and
according to Natur. The gent, he pro-
vides the grub, and millinery. He busts
. the stuffing out of any other fellow who
is intruding on his domestic relations. He
is responsible for meal in the barrel and
roughness for the mules. He winds the
clock and chases the hogs outen the corn,
and he undergoes the physical labor of
voting the democratic ticket In the pri-
maries, and when these arjous duties is
done, he has earned right to loaf around
home and make himself conspicuous by
doing nothing.
Bed Slat Will Win
''rm here to tell you that the bed
slat ticket will win out over the Saint
Elmo aggregation at least nine times
in ten. The women like it because it's

MAYOR WHETS AXE FOR
MOVING PICTURE BILL
Declares That Crowd of Thea
re-Owning Politicians Has
Had It's Day in This City"

Mayor Gaynor indicated clearly yester-
day that he would veto the moving pict-
ure ordinance passed by the Board Of
Aldermen and now before him for consid-
Grafton. II was amended by the Tam
many minority in the board with the aid
of certain "backslders' among the fusion
lists, so as to prohibit galleries in the NOV
Ing picture places This amendment
would be Of benefit 10 the trust that con-
trolls the places built under the provisions
Of the regular theatre law which show
moving pictures. When the Mayor Wa
asked about the ordinance, which other
wise is a good measure. he said:
Wen see whether few politicians
who own and run the cheap theatres are
going 10 run this city. The idea Of an
alderman standing up and voting 10 pro-
tect his own cheap theatres. Is II con-
trary TO law? Yes. | believe II Is an in
dictable offence. and ! am going to find
out about It. Why. it's worse than taking
bride. II judge acted in his own in
terest he would be impeached; a lesis'
lator would be expelled or indicted. That
crowd Of theatre owning politicians has
had its day in this city. Let them take
Gown their own galleries. Perhaps an
ordinance to that effect might be intro
duced How would they like that?
"Why can there be any more immoral
ity in the galleries Of moving picture
places than in the galleries Of their own
cheap theatres? In fact there is none IN
either 4 theatre gallery is as much eX-
posed to view as any other part, more
than under the galleries. But these peo-
pie are not so sensitive about morality
These cheap theatre owners, Of whom
there is a coterie i'm the Board OF Alder
men. want the galleries cut out of the
moving picture places so as To cripple
them in their seating capacity and pre-
vent their competition"
Alderman John j White who makes
no secret Of the fact that he is interested
in certain theatres built under the theatre
law. was interested to see the statement
made by the Mayor yesterday. When h.
was asked to make some comment. how
ever. he refused on the ground that the
Mayor had mentioned no names.

New Yorks public school buildings re-
quire from 90 20 400 per cent more time
for construction than buildings present.
ing equal natural difficulties. but private
~ owned and built. a condition which is
largely due 10 the incompetence of the
Board Of Education. according to the
second section Of the report Of John c.
Armstrong. the engineering expert, whom
the Board OF Estimates school inquiry
committee retained TO investigate public
school construction.
Mr.. Armstrong says that in the prepara-
ton of his report he continually met
opposition from the most unexpected
quarters. He declares the Board OF Edu-
cation refused 70 assist him in any way,
and that contractors whom he interviewed
invariably were afraid TO give informl-
ton for fear of the refusal OF further
work. The engineer also asserts that the
condition which compels $1,000 pupils 10
attend school on part time only is the
result in a large measure OF erroneous
methods in choosing school sites.
The Board Of Education is careless in
conserving city funds, the report says.
and exhibits a lamentable lack Of fore
sight in engineering matters. Mr.. Arm-
strong advocates placing the Board ~
Estimate in full control OF expenditures
OF the city's funds. the adoption q stan1-
ard designs for the public schools, the
creation Of an efficiency bureau having
power TO pass upon all engineering de-
signs. and the selection Of sites by scien-
tihc means
Mr.. Armstrong also suggests the elir1i-
nation Of duplicate approval OF The same
subject by restricting each department to
its charter duties and the discontinuance
of the Lowest bidder" system through a
board Of censorship.
