NO MORE dead Letters"
Department Established by BENJAMIN
Franklin Passes Out of Existence
New Method in Vogue.

The "dead letter" office IN the pos
tai department. in Washington is no
more. The last auction sale of old
letters and parcels has been held; $4,-
500 was realized; eighty employees
ere discharged or transferred to
other departments and the 'letter
.cssDusn.ess" is conducted more
efficiently.
The office was really abolished be-
cause OF the big decrease in lost, mis-
directed or unsigned pieces of mail,
and because letters addressed to per-
sons who cannot be found are more
speedily disposed of by opening ma
chimes and quick clerks.
But while the dead letter" office
is to be abolished here the misdirected
mail matter in the future is to be dis
triDuted to fifteen cities throughout
the country. For instance, if letter
is mailed from Springfield, Ohio, to
Albany, N. Y, and the address is cor
rect and there are no return addresses
on the envelope the letter will be sent
to Chicago, where it will be opened.
If information as to the name of the
sender is written therein the Letter will
be forwarded back to Springfield.
To Benjamin Franklin PROBABLY be-
longs the distinction of starting the
dead letter division Of the post office.
When the seat Of the federal govern
ment was in Philadelphia, Franklin
had bureau where misdirected let
tiers were examined. The dead letter
office was established in 1925. Be-
fore 1860 few detailed records were
kept of the receipts in the dead letter
office although one old book in the de-
partment showed that in 1880 there
were $4,000 letters referred to that
bureau. In 1859 in response to SEN
ate resolution the postmaster general
reported that the receipts of parcels
and letters for the year numbered
100000.
In 1875 there were twenty-nine men
and fifty women employed IN this bu-
reau and the office was mentioned as
a "model of industry and punctuality'
Last year the force consisted of about
100 persons and more than 100000
pieces Of mail matter were handled
most of it being returned to the send
ers.

LADIES'! LOOK YOUNG,
 DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Use the Old-Time Sage Tea and Sulphur and Nobody
 Will Know

Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When 1t fades, turns gray and looks dry, wis py and scraggly, just few appli- cations of Sage Tea and Sulphur en- hances it's appearance a hundred fold.
 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use prep aration, because it darkens the hair beautifully and removes dandruff. stops scalp itching and falling hair; besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten sponge or soft brush with it., drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears: after another application or two, it's natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous and you appear years er.-Advertisement.

Charter Is Revoked

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21.-Ignoring an order from the Supreme Lodge to quit business the Los Angeles Lodge No. 3S6. Loyal Order of Moose at this weeks meeting voted unani- mously to reinstate N. Banks Cregier as dictator, and spurned an order from the national officers to turn ever the property and close up the clubrooms.
 In other words, the Los Angeles Moose decided that it can do busi- ness without the sanction and ap- proval of national officers. Cregier. whose resignation has been in the hands of the lodge for several weeks. took his place of dictator and by ris- ing vote the lodge members reinstat- co him. He will serve out his term, which expires April s.
 An order from Supreme Dictator Walter F. Dorn had cut off the local lodge by suspending it's charter and warning it's members not to pay dues to the local officer. This order was utterly ignored at the meeting.

When Null len read the telegraphed order it was received with guffaws that resound- ed through Main street.
 Dictator Cregier took the position before the lodge that every meeting of the body was a meeting of the corporation. which is the holding company for the lodge assets. valued at about $2S,000. and that the cor poration was operating under the laws of California. The lodge is amenable first, to the state laws and later to the laws governing the su- preme lodge. said Cregier. and his attitude was indorsed in riot of applause

 D. D. Macdonald, Deputy Supreme Chief Ranger, was present and cre- ated much interest among the mem bers in their campaign for member ship. There are now 100 members In the local lodge but it is the desire of the order to greatly increase that number, and with this in view, an ac- tive campaign is being conducted un- der the direction of MT. Macdonald
 An important question that is re- ceiving consideration from the local Foresters is the institution of a sur gical and medical department. In most of the cities where there is a large lodge of Foresters. a hospital is maintained, and it is believed that one should be established in Phoenix. The movement was inaugurated at Friday nights meeting, but until defi- nite plans can be made relative to it. the membership must be increased.
 The Hassayampa Court is one of the strongest lodges in the city and its meetings are held every Friday night Until arrangements are made to secure permanent hall, the lodge will meet in Lamson hall.
