tinguished early today after thirty
FIVE patients had been removed from
the smoke filled rooms Of the third

four patients were imperiled and a
general alarm brought the entire fire
fighting apparatus of the city to the
scene. Policemen were compelled to
use force to keep relatives of patients
out of the building.

Mrs. L. J. Kelly Of Princeville, was

BY Making Clearing House Of United
Charities, Persons Can be Sure
That They Are Giving.
Rightly.
WILL SPEND MONEY HERE
Thousand Dollars IL Needed and il
Would Be All Spent With keo-
kuk Merchants, In Re-
Iievine the Poor.

There was a very good example OF
selfish giving Saturday,, when GER
tain citizen of this city sent lot of
Old clothing into a poverty stricken
home where there was more old
clothing than anything else. What
was needed was job for the woman
who had been forced to become the
bread winner of the family.
A rather amusing incident, had It
not been so pathetic, occurred last
week. A certain woman took jour
ney into far country north Of Main
street, seeking coal Her visible sup
ply was only sufficient for the night.
Upon her return home, one of the
neighbors asked what success she had
and was shown a great lot Of old
clothing, but no fuel. In disgust the
neighbor turned away with some re-
mark she could not burn that trash,
and being dumping ground for what
those people did not want. Second
hand clothing is all very good, but is
no substitute for coal. This woman
asked for bread and was given stone
and yet the giver, in her mind, added
another star to her crown.
If you have furniture, stoves or
clothing you wish to give to some one
who can make use Of them, let the
United Charities know about 1t. They
will place your gifts with those who
need them, providing they are service
able. At present We are looking for

from a second hand store. 1t is use.
less, as it will neither heat the room
nor bake. A big stove is not needed,
but one on which meal can be cook
ed is wanted. From the looks of the
coal bin, 1t will be a matter of only
few days before some coal will be
needed for this same family.
Can the United Charities count you
among those who believe in helping
your less fortunate brother to what
he needs? VIII You be willing to go
step farther and allow that organiza-
ton to spend some money for you?
The thousand dollars asked will be
expended as the donors designate and
every cent will go to local merchants.
Do you intend to help?

From what we saw and from
what happened to US / made up a
page of Spanish etiquette. 1t IS
probably not correct, but | offer it
as the result of our experiences.
Other people may have had differ
ent impressions. If you are of the
female sex never wear a short skirt.

stare at you and sometimes call
after you. II you have red hair dye

man you may dress as an English
man, an operate tenor or chorus
singer from Carmen without excit-
ing remark. Never wear glasses.
II you are blind take a dog on
string. When you sit down at the
table or arise always bow and say,
"Buenas." This is imperative. You
may jostle people without apology,
but never speak to any one without
saying your grace" be he noble,
friend or beggar. "Will your grace
do me the favor to bring me my
coffee at 9 o'clock tomorrow"
would strike an American bellboy
with dismay. But it is the literal
translation of the Spanish request.
Never tell beggar to clear out, but
say that you have left your purse at
home and that you will remember
him tomorrow or gently murmur
that God will reward him, whereat
he will smile, thank you and depart.
| These same beggars, who spring
up on every side, seem to have
code of etiquette we could not faith
ON. After two or three days there
were a few who begged only from
me, two or three others who be-
sought Jean. Evidently we were
understood to be the patrons of GER
tain beggars who out of crowd of
mendicants were the only ones to
approach Us who would take their
dole with thanks or if we sad "to-
morrow" would smilingly bach
away at once.
A trip into Spain ought to mean
more than sketches of life as we
saw it in a single city. Yet it was
our pleasure to linger on in Mad
rid, with the exception of three
day. spent in Toledo and the Escu
rial, for the whole of our two
months holiday, and to return di
rect to Paris without seeing any Of
the southern country, so beloved By
other tourists. So can any one Won
der that to Us Spain means Madrid.

LADIES! SECRET TO
+ 0ARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
!. Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is TO get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addition of
other ingredients, costing about 50 cents
a large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful. we
al desire to retain our youthful appear
ance and attraetiveness. BY darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen s. sponge or soft brush with
ii and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. ,Wyeth's Sage aud Sulphur
Compound is u delightful toilet requisite.
