was sent to West Indian stations
Comparing the recent storm with
that OF 1900 an inspection Of a chart
issued by Professor Frankenfield dis
closes the fact that the total time oc-
cupied from the first to the last ap-
pearance Of both storms within the
field of observation was exactly four
teen days, and that the storm Of 1900
moved with slower velocity of pro-
erosion before reaching its recurve
than after, whereas in the storm OF
1915 the reverse was true.
The two paths are very similar in
many respects, although the storm OF
1915 lay little to the southwark Of
that of 1900 until the st. Lawrence
valley was reached.
Wind VeIOcities Nearly Same.
AS to the comparative intensities
Of the two storms, remarks Professor
Frankenfield, it is perhaps idle to
speculate. The wind velOcities were
not greatly different and the effects
of the two storms were much the
same, except as modified by artificial
conditions in the vicinity of Calves
ton. The barometer reading of 2S.4S
inches at Galveston in 1900 was 0.15
of an inch lower than the lowest read
ing recorded in 1915, whereas the
lowest reading Of $3.50 inches in
Houston in 1915 was OPS of an inch
lower than the lowest barometer re-
ported in Galveston in 1900. Untort-
unately, says Professor Frankenfield,
there are no records from Houston
for the year 1900 and a precise COM
parison cannot be made.
In 1900 the maximum wind veloc-
ity of "a miles an hour was from
the south, while in 1915 that of SO
miles an hour was from the east, and
this difference in direction of 80 de-
grees largely accounts for the differ
ence in the hight of the tide, which in
1900 was estimated at 20 feet, while
in 1915 it was only u feet. In 1900
the tide came directly from the south
over the Gulf Of Mexico, while in
1915 it came from the northeast
across Galveston bay.
Prof. Frankenfield, who says many
expressions of commentator have
been received from newspapers and
others regarding the work performed
by the weather bureau in saving the
lives of so many and in the safe
guarding of property, closes his re-
port with a tribute to the excellent
radio service which is conducted by
the weather bureau in cooperation
with a considerable number Of YES
sells equipped with wireless) plying
the waters of the ocean, Gulf of Mex
leo and Caribbean sea. Without the
aid of the radio reports, said Prof
Frankenfield, it would have been use
less to attempt to follow the storm
of 1915 through the Gulf of Mexico
with any degree of certainty.

LIV-VER-LAX, that wonderful
vegetable compound, is just as use
full as caIomel for toning up your
liver and Kidding your system of stag

Reports from the office of Robert
B. McCord superintendent of the
Georgia Children's Home Society, of
Atlanta, would seem to indicate that
now is open season" for husbands.
1t was but a short while ago that
Mr.. McCord undertook to find a hus-
band for one young lady, and now,
by request, if you please, he is in
need of two more husbands, not for
the same lady, of course, but for two
other young ladies.
Several weeks ago lOvelorn
young lady wanted husband. She
communicated her troubles to Mr..
McCord, who in turn told the story to
a Constitution reporter.
Stories followed stories as letters
began to pour in from all over the
South in answer to the husband
wanted" announcement.
Two young ladies, one of whom
states that she is a 'winsOme widow"
wrote to Mr.. McCord Monday and
told him that the publication of love
letters in the Constitution had prov
en- so profitable and result-getting
that they wanted to try it, too.
The young ladies live in Alabama,
one in a small town and the other
in a large city.

While there is an absence of desire
on the part OF those who have inter

burden the extra SESSION of the state
legislature with anything that is not
in immediate demand the position is
taken that acton on some form of
compulsory education is always a de-

now than ever in the past.

the ages. A scholar well versed in the
characteristics of the great civiliza-

excavations in Crete in the last 10
years was strollnig down the avenue
the other afternoon when he stopped
in amazement before the window of a
we'll known Fifth avenue costumer,
says the Times. There on form in
the show window was one of the new

V at the throat and high collar ris-

over each other in almost the shape
of a bell.

companion. Almost an exact replica
of the faience figures of the earth
goddess which Sir Arthur Evans dis
covered at Knossos.'
The companion, who had never
heard of Sir Arthur Evans, Knossos,
or an earth goddess (outside of Wag-
ner) demanded that he be shown; so
the archaeologist took him back to
his study and showed him there lit
tie figure-a copy of the original
found in Crete-which had a strange
similarity to the waXen lady in the
window. There was a short-sleeved
tight-waisted bodice of dark orange,
with purple ribbons; a heavy belt,
and a fiaring skirt with seven fiounces
made in a checkerboard pattern OF
dark purple and light blue. There
were, to be sure, some differences
the goddess had a snake in each
hand, and the decolletage of her jack

Comstock's reserves if she had worn
it on Fifth avenue; but in the main
the costumes were identical.

her priestesses, and the figure was
made probably 1000 years before

been contributed by farmers living along
the road, and this amount would be in
creased before work is begun, It is
expected, Mr.. Osborne said, that the
board of county commissioners of Nicol-

A rough estimate, which has been pre-
pared indicates that the road can be
graded but not graveled for approx
mately $4,000. This will put it in very
good condition, and it can be surfaced
with gravel at some later time.

project at some length, and it was finally

MONEY FOR SCENIC HIGHWAY

Another year probably will witness
the completion of the Minnesota Val
ley Scenic highway, despite the failure
of the federal government to give the
aid promised. Some months ago the
county commissioners of Blue Earth
county appropriated money to build
the road from Mankato to the LeSueur
county line, and that portion of it be-
tween Kasota and st. Peter was finished
recently. Last Monday night steps
were taken by the St. Peter city council
which seems to assure the building of
the strech of road in Nicollet County.
The matter was presented to the
aldermen by a group of good roads
boosters from Lake Prairie, the delega-
ton consisting of Frank Osborne, VIM.
Schwartz, Fred Wilkinson and Ellis
worth Coulter. They asked that St.
Peter contribute toward fund for the
grading and crawling of the highway
according to the plans and profiles
prepared by the state highway commits
sion for the original road.

are many. It lisa modern convenience
and almost q necessity that every town
should have. Gas is especially desirable
for cooking purposes when it can be
obtained in this way; thus the danger
of the old gasoline stove is wholly eli
minated, everything is very handy and
in a iiffy one can prepare meal. No
time need be wasted generating the
stove or bothering with gasoline. The
New Ulm Gas Company does not pro-
pose to give lighting service, and thus
the local electric plant light will not be
imposed upon from competitive stand
point. Factories of every kind almost
demand gas service and the lack of it
is often the missing link that is the cause
of their not being pulled into a town.

additional inducement with the many

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeless
locks and they become dark,
glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, OF
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack Of sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up a mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou.
sands of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade of
hair which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" which darkens the
hair SO naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied Be-
Sides. it takes off dandruff, stops scalp
itching and falling hair. You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tions, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance Of
abundance.

! GAS FOR SLEEPY EYE.
J. +. Smith of Minneapolis, vice presi-

.HSs F.. ' : e.
J. +. Smith of Minneapolis, vice presi-
dent and secretary of the New Ulm Gas
Company, was in Sleepy Eye last Mon
day calling on the mayor and city coun-
Gil, relative to obtaining franchise to
extend a pipe line from New Ulm to this
city so that they might operate and sell
gas to local people. Before accepting a
franchise, however, Mr.. Smith said he
would make general canvass of the
town to find what the sentiment of the
people would be toward buying gas, and
if enough favor the proposition to war
rant paying business they would un-
doubtedly come to the city.
Mr.. Smith and two other men from
Virginia, Mimi, formed company,
capitalized at $4,000 and called the
New Ulm Gas Company, last summer
and fall, and they are just getting nicely
started now at the county seat. The
former gentleman informed us that in
organizing a gas company it is useless
and generally Improbable to do so in
a town of less than 5000 population.
This fact alone would make it impossible
for Sleepy Eye to have distinct COM
pany operating locally for good while
and perhaps the time will never come
when the population will be large enough
at that rate to warrant one for the city.
The plant at New Ulm, although newly
organized, is already paying PROPOSE
ton, the company having over three
hundred subscribers up to the present
time. In case the city council of Sleepy
Eye sees fit to grant franchise to the
New Ulm Gas Company and they see
fit to come here we will have gas service
by this time next year and perhaps
sooner. The distance to pipe the gas
would be about sixteen miles, and it is
presupposed that most of the farmers
along the line would become patrons
of the company. Mr.. Smith says his
company asks for absolutely no sub
scriptions or guarantees from local
people. 1t is proposition that is finan-
cially wholly by themselves and they do
not 60 into any place that does not look
favorable to them from monetary
standpoint.

having gas service in Sleepy Eye
