SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it fades,
turns gray, streaked and looks dry,
wispy and scraggly, just an applica-
ton or two of Sage and Sulphur en-
hances it's appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you
can get from any drug store 50cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" ready TO use. This can
always be depended upon to bring back
the natural color, thickness and lustre of
your hair and remove dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair
Everybody uses "Wyeths" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens SO natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application 1t becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and
abundant.-Advt.

DELAY
ST|RS SOUTH
SIDE MEN

The injustice OF not appropriating
money for the further improvement
of Whitehall street and the increase
of taxes thereon before the improve
ments are made is bitterly COM
planned of Thursday in communica-
ton from the Whitehall and South
Forsyth Improvement committee.
Several large business blocks ar
ranged for can not be built until the
grade is adjusted by the city. This
delay may mean that these new bust
ness blocks will be lost to the city
through Councils failure to make the
adjustment of the grade" says the re-
port. And then 1t asks If the project
has been abandoned.
Fair Amount Not Awarded.
The committee says Council has
not awarded even "a fair amount for
1914 work" on Whitehall and For
syth streets. The complaint declares
that the city has:
Forced the adoption of a perma
nent grade for the streets before
property owners were allowed TO APP
pear with complaints before the FL
nance Committee of Council.
Notified property owners that they
must build to conform to the pro-
spective' grade, which varies from a
five-foot cut to an eight-foot fill
Results of Council lnacton.
And permitted a tax increase on
this property for 1914 based on the
prospective improvement of the
Streets
The complaint cites these results OF
Councils inaction;
Property can not be sold. 1t car
not be improved. Whitehall the
main business thoroughfare Of At
lanta, is held back while other street
are improved and going ahead. The
proposed Improvement of some oil
these other streets is of more recent
origin than the Improvement OF

When Mr.. Osborne concluded his
testimony, the counsel for Judge

vented an appeal being taken in the
case.
Adjournment was taken at 5

What Mr.. Osborne's law partner,
Alex Lawrence, did not say about
Judge Speer, Mr.. Osborne supplied,
but he was more damaging witness
in that he displayed no bitterness or
feeling. His gravest charge against
the accused jurist was that in the
nineties in Savannah, when there was
a rate war on between two electric
traction companies, Judge Speer sided
with one, issued a bankruptcy order
against the other and In less than one
hour after the order was signed the
affairs of the company that had been
sued its books and all it's papers were
in the office of the counsel for the
competing company.
usurpation of Power.
Mr., Osbornes typihed the order as
a usurpation of power and an open
effort to side with one company in
the fight. He stated that he made n
personal investigation of the alleged
creditor who had sued the papers and
found him to be Tennessee noun
taineer, who hardly had the means Of
livelihood. He then made the
straight statement that in his opinion
Judge Speer was judicially corrupt.
Mr.. Osborne said Judge Speer was a
car and that a reform is necessary In
the district presided over by him.
Judge Speer is a good lawyer, Mr..
Osborne said, and he is a literary
man, but he is also an unfair one. He
has colossal conceit. loves the spot
light, courts notoriety and runs a
court in which there is little justice,
said the witness.
What we reed here" said Mr.. Os-
borne, lis judge and not car. A
good Judge and good court in this
district would do much toward max
ing the American flag loved and re-
spected here, but this will not be the
case while Speer is Judge think 1t

Justice to take some steps to relieve
the situation"
