STAR OF HOPE

BY Selma Elizabeth Higgins.
1t was a fortunate circumstance
that John Bross wore a heavy hat
and wig when, turning into one of
the worst streets of the big city, he
was suddenly bounced upon by two
footpads. They did not even sound
the worning of hands Up!'' but while
one of them threw his arms about
his neck from behind, the other rails

Whack! bang! biff! One Of the
fellows went hurtling head over heels
into the gutter. The other, holding
his hand to a badly damaged optic,
sneaked away with a below of pain
and discontinue.
Hurt, boss?" solicitOusly inquired
the rescuer, helping Mr.. Bross to his
feet
''No-not seriously" answered Mr..
Bross confusedly. "They were foot
pads?"
Just that Luckily you hollered;
was just in time"
"Who-who are your" spoke Mr..
Bross feebly.
Don't remember me?" laughed
the other. You gave me half dol
lar just before you turned the corner.
It's big stake for a fellow as near
desperation as was, and l was glad
to put up fight for you. Why, mis-
ter, you're wearing false wig and
beard! What's that for, now"
Get me somewhere to rest and

Bross. you have saved my life, my
friend. Surely my money" he added,
as they sat down at table in the
nearest restaurant. 81 see you are
honest and trustworthy and l want
you to do little service for me at
good compensation.
"I'l be glad to do it, governor"
said the tramp.

curiosity to see low life as it really is
in the slums of great city,

The speaker proved his boast.

are not trained nor educated to vote
To that statement / usually say:
Well gentlemen, If that is so, It is
your faults, for you have been in sole
charge of the public schools for so
long that we women have not had q
chance TO get an education. Again,
a number Of them declare that if
women had the vote they wouldn't
use it; and right here let me state
that they would use it. They do use
it where they have it. In Michigan
il was shown that $4,000 women want
ed to vote and statistics prove that
from 10 TO II per cent of the women
vote as do men,"
zone reason why the men oppose
suffrage so bitterly" added Mrs. Hale,
'is because they know that women
will vote for the man rather than
for the party. They split their tickets
which the machine politicians do not
like. A woman votes Independently
while a man votes as his father did
before him." she said.
The meeting Saturday night was
under the auspices of the Whining
ton Equal Suffrage Association and a
number of officers of that organiza-
ton as well as a large representation
of other active members were seated
on the stage Mrs. Hale was intro
duced by DR.. Josephine NJ. r. White
Delacour, president, who presided al
the meeting. Several members Of the
association acted as ushers Those
who did so included Misses Marguer-
tie Wallace, Beatrice Carlisle. Louise
Naylor, Charlotte Quigley and Mrs

THE WORK OF THE GEOLO LOGICAL,
SURVEY.

The needs of the manufacturers
and the farmers of the country are
we'll known and keenly appreciated
by the Geological Survey. Since
the question of a domestic supply
OF potash salts has become of pub
lie interest, the government has en-
deavored to to locate deposits in
this country, and has followed up
every clue that seemed TO promise
results OF Importance. The Surveys
work has extended from New York
to California and from Michigan to
Louisiana, and has covered al
branches of investigation where re-
suits might b expected, exclusive
OF the study of kelp. It's investiea-
tons have been carried out along
several lines. CD Deep drilling for
saline residues has been done at
at Fallon and, during the past year,
IN Columbus Marsh and Black Rock
desert, Nevada, and will be contin-
ued in Black Rock Desert this year.
~ Natural and artificial brines
and bitterns have been collected at
all the salt-making establishments
IN the United States and a great
many other localities, and examined
~ Deposits of alunite and other
minerals, containing potassium,
have been investigated in Utah and
other states. Cd Certain occurrences,
OF lgneous rock known to contain
considerable quantities of potash
salts have been examined. Much
work has also been done by private
initiative along practically all the
lines mentioned above. The bureau
OF soils, of the Department of Aeri-
culture, has investig tied the kelps.
the work is not yet finished and
will be pushed with increased vieor,

EFFECT OF War ON SUPPLY
OF P0TRSH SALTS
PRESENT SITUATION.

Outside of Germany there is no
known commercial supply of potash
salts. If the German supplies are
cut off during the European war
the agricultural world must either

meager supply now on hand in ex-
hausted or bestir itself to find an
other adequate source of supply
Already many inquiries regarding
potash have been addressed to the
United States Geological Survey.
and the fertilizer journals report
that small quantities of spot ma
terlal are changing hands at sharp
premiums. The situation is un-
undoubtedly more acute than it
was few years ago, when national
interest was first awakened to the
fact that the United States is en-
tirely dependent on Germany for
this important class of fertilizer
materials.
WIDE USE OF POTASH SALTS
Potash salts are employed in
many industries OF her than the
fertilizer industry. A large amount
is used in glass and soap makine
and IN the manufacture of a num-
Der OF chemical products. These
include potassium hydrate, or cans
TIC potash, and carbonate or bicar-
nate OF potash, used principally in
glass and soap making; the potash
alums; cyanides, including potas-
SUM cyanide, potassium ferri-
cyanide. and potassium ferro-cva-
hide; various potash bleachine
chemicals, dye stuffs, explosives
containing potash nitrate, and q
long list of general chemicals.

GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't look old! Try GRANDMOTHER
recipe to darken and beautify
faded, ifeless hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
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 application or two of
Sage and Sulphur enhances its appear
ance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you
can get from any drug store SO cent

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 "Wyeth's" 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; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully DARK
and appears glossy, lustrous and album
dant.

STREET WORK BEGUN.

After numerous delays, due to nu-

ing Main street from Tenth to the
East Paris bridge, has been started
and is progressing nicely. Two
blocks of the street between Tenth
and Eighth streets have been com
pleted, and the result is emphatically
satisfactory, SO far as a layman can
tell. The pitch of the crown has
been lowered slightly, making it safer
in sleety, slippery weather. Superin-

expert workmen at work, and says
the work will be carried forward as
fast as possible, or as long as the
good weather holds out.
