MAKES BIG CHANGES
Public Service Commission Asks 20
Engineers to Resign.

To permit the reorganization Of
the work of the department upon
lines it is believed will produce great
er efficiency, the members Of the pub
lie service commission this week by
unanimous vote directed F. s. Bur-
roughs, chief engineer. to obtain the
designations of all the members Of
the engineering force of the depart
ment, the same to become effective
January / next. The order affects
about 20 employees altogether, but
some Of these will likely be re-em-
ployed.
The action was taken in Seattle
Tuesday and comes as the result, it
Is said, of recent Investigations by the
commissioners in the East as to the
methods there used by similar COM
missions in directing their depart
ments. 1t Is understood that the
commission has for some time been
dissatisfied with the returns made by
members Of the engineering force.
These returns were too widely diver
gent. leaving too large question Of
doubt in many instances where the
members of the commission thought
they should have been given more
nearly exact information upon mat
tiers referred by them.
Besides the changes in the engi-
neering force, Chairman G. A. Rey-
nolds of the commission said that he
intended taking up with Governor
Ernest Lister the question of trans
ferring the headquarters Of the COM
mission from Olympia to Seattle,
where, he says, the commissioners are
compelled to spend two-thirds Of
their time. Mr.. Reynolds declared
that the maintenance of the head
quarters in Olympia is costing the
state a number of thousand dollars
which might be better applied.

ranchers in the vicinity of Rochester,

of that place, was upheld by the SUI

own near Rochester, in consideration
of his disposing of the property. Diff
ficulties arose, however, and the Sa-

tract, alleging fraud, and brought

LITTLE BOY
WEAK AND SICKLY
Mother Tells How Her Little
Son Was Made a Strong,
. Healthy Boy by VinoI After
a Severe Sickness.

New York City. about five years
ago my little boy, then seven years old,
was very ill with gastritis, then he con-
tracted measles from the other children,
pneumonia soon followed, and there
seemed no hope of saving his life. How
ever, we fought off the disease and he
recovered, but was in very weak and
delicate condition.
"The doctor prescribed cod liver oil,
but his little stomach swelled up like a
drum, and the doctor said there was no
cure for him. | decided to try Vinol,
as had used it myself with splendid
results, and it seemed to agree with him.
That bloated condition soon disappeared,
and now he is a strong, healthy boy,
thanks to Vinol. Mrs. THOMAS F1Tz-
GERALD, 1890 Park Ave-, NewYork City.
In all cases where the healing, cura-
tive, tissue building influence of cod liver
oil, or the strengthening, blood
making properties of tonic iron are
needed, Vinol gives immediate benefit,
for it is easily assimilated and accepta-
BILE to the weakest stomach, because il
contains no oil or grease, and tastes
delicious.

BERLIN, Nov. 1S.-Notwiths-
standing the war, the new University
of frankfort has just been opened.
The emperor signed the statutes of
the new institution on August l, the
day the German mobilization was ord
cred. Thus this new seat of learning
will be identified for all time with the
great world war, just as the university
of Berlin is known throughout Ger
many for having been born during the
Napoleonic wars. The University of
frankfort has also attached to itself a
Renaissance of those days by opening
its doors on the anniversary of the
Battle of Leipzig, where Napoleon's
power in, Germany was finally broken.
The opening, on October IS, was
without any special ceremony. The
Kaiser sent from military headquar-
tiers dispatch expressing his regret
that the defence of the Fatherland
from the nefarious attacks of our en-
emies" rendered it impossible for him
to be present.
The institution begins its career I'M
der favorable financial and intellectual
auguries. An endowment found OF
about 100000 has been collected. A
large part of this was given by mem
bers of the Frankfort Speyer family

OF BODY

A startling discovery avs made a
day or two ago by negro ditcher,
working upon the farm of Mr.. Lacey
Morgan, out Forrest avenue when his
spade struck the lid of box contain
ing skeleton almost intact. The
point at which the find was made Is
in bit of original woods, remote from
any habitation and just outside the
limits of the city. Those who examin-
d the box could not determine whether
the bones were those of a white man
or negroy but evidently those of a
man. There is little doubt that the
body was buried there many years ago
and may have covered up a midnight
crime that has ever remained a mys-
terry. The box and bones are still at
the place where the ditch-digger found
them.

HAROLD BROS VS.. CENTRAL RAIL
WAY REGARDING BUILDING
LINE ON HAMPTON ST.

Of interest in Americas is the decis-
ion of the state supreme court in the
case of Harold Bros, ct al, versus the
Central of Georgia Railway Co., and
recently rendered. The case has ref
erence to the building of a railway line
by the Central of Georgia along Hamp-
ton street from Wheeler street to a
point near the baseball park. The city
council of Americas had previously
granted such permission to the rail-
way company, but Harold Bros, who
own property upon either side of
Hampton street, which properties are
already penetrated by railway tracks,
interposed objection to further extern
ton of the tracks south on Hampton
street. The supreme court decision,
just rendered, was favorable to the
railway company. If such additional
trackage is laid, as contemplated bv
the railway company, it may eventual
ly result in the building of union
passenger station at some point in that
immediate vicinity.

COMB Sage TEA
into GRAY HAIR
DarkenS Beautifully and Restores Its
Thickness and Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An cas-
Ter way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about so cents a large bottle,
at drug stores, known as 'Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant and you appear years younger.
