HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face. to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out,
just try inside-bathing every morning
for one week.
Before breakfast each day. drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indiGestible waste,
sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
VigoratinG. II cleans out all tho sour
fermentatiors, gases and acidity and
gives one II splendid appetite for
breakfast.
a quarter pound OF limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap ard hot water cleans
es, sweetens and freshens the skin,
so hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the blood and internal organs.
Those who are subject 30 constipation,
hi!ious attacks, acid stomach, rheum-
ATTIC twingeS, also those whose skin Is
sallow ard complexion paliid, are as
sured that one week of inside bathing
will have them both looking and feel

Enough for what?" asked the boys

For answer Uncle Harry smiled and

the mayor elect. THE department

in the meantime the chief and his lieu
tenant in the Virginia town got in
wrong in some way and were arrested.
Consequently they couldn't help our
police much; they were in Jail.
The Face On the Screen
That brings me back to what saw

of city detectives in serving warrants

Betsy fairly bubbled over with .gIee.
The boys were having the time of
their lives. 1t was the best fifty
five cents worth they had ever had.
Then off to the restaurant they
went, all five. Tommy and Betsy hesi-
tated as they entered, but the good
natured walters soon made them feel
at their ease and Uncle Harry was so
happy and merry and running over
with good cheer that the children
soon forgot their bashfulness and
laughed at Uncle Harry's jokes and
watched the goldfish in the fountain
and gazed at the gaily-decorated
Christmas trees, as If bewitched. 1t
was a merry party, this party that the
boys and Uncle Harry gave to Tommy
and Betsy on Christmas Eve.
At last the children had their fill
of turkey and cranberry sauce. Uncle
Harry paid the score and followed by
the smiles of the walters, and the
diners in the restaurant, they return
ed to the automobile and soon were
whizzing home.

Merry Christmas" called back the
children as Uncle Harry opened the
door, shooed them into the house all
loaded down with their toys, and fol-
lowed to pay his respects to their
father and mother.
An hour later Uncle Harry and the
boys were warming themselves before
the fire in the library. Father and
mother had come in to listen to their
experience.

shepherds would have been likely to
be in the fields of Bethlehem. But the
exact date makes no difference, any
more than in the case of Good Friday

that it is the day set aside in memory

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no. one can tell,
because it's done SO naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home Is mussy and trouble
some. For so cents you can buy at
any drug store the rendy-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You just dampen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
all gray hair disappears. and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkcned, glossy
and luxuriant. You will aso discover

there was any especial significance i'm
'ltN Commissioner Fl. f. Bowman's
action in asking Council yesterday to
postpone DR.. Meals pet detective bu-
reau ordinance.
Won't Swear In Ibach and White?
"Pshaw," smiled the mayor elect;
why, 1 suppose that was done as Mr..
Bowman says, because of the unsettled
condition of the city budget"
Mr.. Bowman yesterday declared that
this really was the reason, although
alleged dopesters rather saw in this
action covert threat of Lynch and
Bowman to change DR.. Meals attitude
on some probable police appointments
The mayor elect, 1t is said, doesn't t.
favor the retention OF Ibach and White
as city detectives. Messrs. Lynch and
Bowman. it is understood, prefer to
have both retained, although they are
said to be particularly anxious about
Ibach.
The report was current in city
circles to-day, however that Mayor
elect Meals might go so far as to re-
fuse pointblank to swear in White and
Ibach should a majority of the new
City Council insist upon their re-
appointment.

has encountered since the failure of
James S. Kuhn and w. S. Kuhn, who
were credited with being prominently
identified with the bank in 1913. A
run at that time continued for several
days. but strong interests went to it's
assistance and the doors were not
closed.
Recently it became known that the
Banking Department was paying par
ticular attention to the bank and an
effort was being made to interest per-
sons who had not hitherto been iden-
tilted with the institution. Old stock
holders surrendered their holdings and
it was understood a month ago that
the situation was much improved. The
announcement to-day came as dis
tinct shock.
Chartered in 1862
The Pittsburgh Bank for Savings
was chartered in 1862 with a capital
stock of 100000. In 1901 it absorbed
the Real Estate Savings Bank and in
1908 the capitalization was increased
to 100000 by a stock dividend from
surplus. The officers were:
President, w. w. Jones; vice-presi-
uent, j. II. GflHlcSs secretary anu
treasurer, A. n. Voegtly.
Depostors of the bank included
many persons with savings accounts,
although the institution did general
business. Deposits on September 15,
1915, were S1O,945,713, according to
the report made to the Banking Com
missioner. On the same date the sur
plus was reported at $403,514. Hun
dreds of the depositors lived in the
nf hn ~ q
though it's business was widely scat
tered through Allegheny county and
Western PENNSYLVANIA.
$4,000 DepOsiiorss
1t was stated that the bank had
approximately $4,000 depositors, OF
whom fully $4,000 were persons living
in other parts of the country, as the
bank was among the first to take saw
ings accounts by mail. Among the
local 'depositors were many school
children.
I President Jones issued the following
statement:
after consultation with the State
Commissioner of Banking it was de-
cided to close the doors of the bank
this morning. The failure of the bank
was due entirely to the depreciation of
some securities held by the bank in
various corporations Owing to the
failure of J. S. e. w. S. Kuhn, Inc, in
1918, there was large depreciation in
the market value of securities of GER
tain corporations. but 1t was hoped
that these companies would soon be
rehabilitated and the securities again
attain their former value. Through the
personal efforts of the president, half
n million dollars has been added to
the assets of the bank since July z,
1918.

was the cause of the failure. which

The savings of some 10000 school
children are included in the bank g
deposits. BY this plan school children
would take their money to school on n
certain day of each week and a. col
rector Tor the bank would call at the
various school buildings, giving them
credit on their books for the amounts
deposited. This practice was in effect
TOT years and many thousands of dol
