neUsboys against the custom Of
Jumping upon street cars for tho pur-
pose OF selling papers. The prac-
tice viii have 10 be stopped and all

section Of the Child Labor law

woke the permit of any nowsboy who

the purpose of selling newspapers,
as il IS considered very dangerous.
The inspector believes that this sec

who are qualified 10 sell newspapers.
A few permits have been granted 10

were unavoidable Tho inspector In

Trip Cut Short from Losing, or Be- ing Robbed of Transportation
 and Money

C. c. Jerrott returned from a busi- ness trip to Rector, Arkansas, yester- day. In changing cars at Texarkana he either lost his wallet containing his transportation and money or was robbed of the same. He made the change from the I. & G. N. to the T. P. and shortly after the train that he was riding on had pulled out for St. Louis he felt for his wallet and found it gone. He was left in the city of Texarkana with trifle over four dollars in his pocket, and a dis tance of about three hundred miles to cover He immediately got busy with the telegraph announcing his loss to the railroad company, also establishing communication with the bank at Rector where he had an ac- count. Returns not being promptly made MT. Jerrott recalled that a gen tleman for whom he had worked about thirteen yeas before had moved to TeXarkana He began investiga- tions and finally located him. This gentleman advanced IIr. Jerrott suf- ficient funds to get to Rector, where financial difficulties were soon ad- justed MT. Jerrott had planned re- turning by way of New Orleans, but could not do so without great addi tional expense, as he could only get through transportation on a one way ticket Other than this misfortune MT. Jerrott enjoys his visit to his old home.

SOME STATISTICS

At the meeting of the Phoenix Cement Co. which was called for the purpose of getting information for a boosters campaign, it was found that there had been 400 cars of cement used in the Salt River Valley during the year. At the commencement of operations at the local plant, cement was wholesaling at $3.S0 a barrel. Within sixty days the price had dropped to $40 per barrel. This meant a saving to the users of ce- ment in the valley of $100,O00. The company feels that when these facts and figures are understood, there will be no difficulty in having the plant begin operations again, as since the local manufacture of ce- ment has stopped the price has stead ily risen until it is back at the same old mark Prospects are bright for the continuation of this industry.
 The meeting was adjourned until the later part of the week when the annual meeting will convene at when time election of officers will be made.

F HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beaut'ty
 Faded, LifeIess Hair

That beautiful, even shade or dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew- ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry. wispy and scraggly, just an ap- plication or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a hundred fold.
 Don't bothe. to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store q 5O-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thick ness and lustre of your hair and re
 move dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
 . Everybody uses "Wyeths" Sage
 and Sulphur because it darkens so
 naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair taking one small strand at time; i by morning the gray hair has disap- peared, and after another application ! it becomes beautifully dark and ap-
 pears glossy, lustrous and abundant
