Reform In Cook County.

THOMAS II. DONOGHUE. candidate
for Alderman In Chicago's Twenty
eighth ward. has solved an important
political dilemma. Now that women
are to vote something must take the
place Of campaign cigars. A despatch
explains that Mr.. DONOGHUE knew
what to do. lie distributed over a
thousand boxes Of candy to the women
who attended meeting at which he
spoke. We are not told whether the
contents consisted OF good old fash
ioned molasses taffy or Of the regular
Sunday school variety. But no mat
ter. Chicago sweets OF any grade are
an improvement over Cook county
cigars, If we may judge by a noted at
tack made upon campaign cigars be-
fore the Health Department Of the City
Council not so very long ago. A lady
charged that these cheap cigars oil
contain hemp"
Candy may contain many substances,
but hemp, neveri The worst candy
might win votes where the highest
grade of hempen rolls would inevitably
lose all voters who sat down to enjoy
Il free smoke before election day. A
straight cigar of clear Manila hemp
has cost many candidate the votes Of
countless hardy voters. while the mol
lycoddles remained away from tho polls
under the firm conviction that they
were never to rise from their beds
again.
The candy candidates will have no
real competition.

Inadequate and Unhappy, Says
Report of Department of
Agriculture Experts.

The most important building on a
farm is the home, and the most i'm
portant room in the farm home is the
kitchen. This is the decision of experts
of the Department of Agriculture who
have made careful study of the condi-
tiCns of farm life.
investigations of prisons, insane asy-
lums and houses of correction seem to
prove the fact" they say, that the
conditions which account for the exist
ence of these institutions are often
found in inadequate and unhappy farm
homes. Better farm homes are needed.
Pleasant and comfortable farm homes
tend to hold families together; but the
cheerless, unlovable and insanitary
houses drive boys and girls to the
cities"
The experts state that the mental and
| physical fitness of the laborers both
within the house and in the field arc
vitality affected by the building that af-
| fords the family shelter. The average
| farm home has failed to share in the
| improvements that are every day being
made TO the farm.

COMB SAGE TEAM
HAIR TO DARKEN|T
It's Grandmother'S Recipe to
keep her Locks, Dark,
Glossy, Thick.

The old time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked. and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite SEN
sible, as we are living in an age when
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug. stores sell the ready-to o-use
product called >"Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy for about so
cents a bottle. 1t is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover II has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights
the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur is that. besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few appli-
cations, II also produces that soft lus-
ter and appearance of abundance
which is SO attractive; besides, pre-
vents dandruff. itching scalp, and
falling hair. Wyeth's Chemical Co..

CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.-'Overeatins

longevity rules of DR.. w. p. Horton,
prominent Cleveland physician, who is
sixty years old but looks forty. He
says he feels thirty and on the old
theory that woman, poor thing, is as
old as she books, but a mans just as

his cheeks. ~
Il have been making Il study Of
folks for forty years" said DIR. Hor-
ton today. The trouble with most oI
them is that they exist too fast. They
don't live. In these days we don't
really eat. We swallow pre-digested
foods. We drink tea, coffee, and other
stimulants in ever increasing Quantl-
ties. We exist in overheated, steam
heated atmospheres. We spend too
much time in stuffy, unventitlated
street cars and not enough in the open
air. Our children skate in indoor rinks;
our men play pool and poker in smoke
filled rooms: our women pay bridge IN
close drawing rooms. If there was
mere walking to school by children !

This artificiality is telling on us. IN
stead of controlling our muscles ana
nerves, our muscles and nerves control
us.
such stimulants as coffee and tea
contain ingredients, such as tannin
which close the glands which contain
the fluids of life. These ingredients are
contained in white and black pepper as
well as in tea and coffee: Red pepper,
however. has the opposite effect. 1t
opens the glands and keeps the life
fluids racing within us. In addition, II
creates a thirst for water, which, by
the way is about as near the waters OF
youth or the elixir of life as has
been found. 1t is almost impossible for
any one to drink too much water. The
body cannot be flushed too often. Drink
more water and eat less food even OF
the right kind. and you'll see how much
better off you are both physically and

Underwood Will Oppose
Income Tax Changes

Congressman Cantor's bill for 4 re-
peal OF the collection at the source
clause of the income tax law will not
receive an early report from the Ways
and Means Committee. Chairman In
derwood said today that it was safe
TO predict that no bills to change the
tariff law would have consideration at
this session. The theory is that the
new tariff. which includes the income
tax law, should be given a fair trial.
Criticisms of the income tax section
are premature" said Congressman Hull,
who framed that section Of the bill.
Persons making criticisms should with
hold them until the law has been fully
tested and the Treasury regulations are
fully understood"
Mr.. Hull will speak in New York to-
morrow before the New York Bar Asso-
citation. and will answer complaints
about the income tax law.
