When little Mrs. Peter called Old
Mr.. Toad 10 one side out OF hearing
OF Peter Rabbit, and told him how
Old Granny Fox had been hanging
around the Old Brier Patch nearly
all day. and how she was sure that
Granny was doing II because she
had heard that Peter was sick and
hoped TO catch him out after a bit
of sweet clover. Mr.. Toad listened
and nodded his head as II he quite
agreed with her. But when she told
him about the young Meadow Mouse
which Granny had caught and left
ut the entrance TO one OF Peters
private little paths he gave Mrs.
Peter a funny, sidewise look.
Huh" he grunted. Huh

hanging around here for. II must
De TOT something.
"Of course it's for something.
Any one with any wits al all would
know that. and that something Is
to try 10 catch Peter" replied Mrs.
Peter. and her voice sounded rather
snappy.
You see she was worried She
knows just how sharp and cunning
old Granny Fox is, and In her own
mind there wasn't a doubt that this
was part OF some clever plan on the
part OF Granny TO catch Peter. For
the lie OF her she couldn't see
through Il herself and she was dis
appointed because Old Mr.. Toad
didn't. seem TO have any better idea
than she had as TO what Granny
Fox was doing.
Old Mr.. Toad took no notice OF
the sharpness in little Mrs. Peters
answer. You better go stay with
Peter n while" said he. 81 think I'll
70 watch Granny Fox and see what
can find out"
SO Old Mr.. Toad hoped along one
OF Peters private little paths and
presently came TO the edge OF the
dear Old Brier Patch. Then he dis
covered something which had quite
slipped his mind when he FIRST
started. The grass OF the Green
Meadows was so tall that he
couldn't see over II, You know he

Old Mr.. Toad looked quite as fool
ish as he felt. He had come TO
watch old Granny Fox and now he
couldn't see her at all because the
grass was above his head.
Would yoG ever suspect Old Mr.
Toad Of having pride7 He doesn't

Somehow We are very apt to think
OF people who are humble and COM

cause for pride That Is a mistake,
They often have just as much pride
az others who seem TO he more for

He looked about. this way and that
way. TO see II there might be some
thing he could get up on 70 as to
see over the grass. At length he
discovered an old stump. where once
upon a time n good sized tree had
stood. II was right at the edge Of
the Old Brier Patch and was Just
wee bit higher than the grass OF
the Green Meadows. Now Peter
Rabbit could have jumped over that
stump without half trying. but to
Old Mr.. Toad II looked like a noun
( tain. '1f only could get up there

J Then he hoped all the way round
the old stump looking for place
where Il might he possible for him
10 climb up. On one side he found
n place where the stump was partly
broken down and rotted away. Even
this was way above Mr.. Toad's head,
but IL was his only chance. Mr..
Toad took long breath and jumped
AZ hard as he could. He bumped
his nose and fell back sprawling.

'W0MANS CIVIC LEAGUE"
FORMED FOR AMERICUS

Pursuant to a notice appearing in
these columns a few days ago. the Ia
dies of Americas met in the rooms OF
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
afternoon and formed a "Woman's
Civic League The meeting was
well attended and the ladies were en-
thusiastic over the purpose for
which they came together
The meeting was organized by the
election of Mrs. Frank P. Harold as
chairman and Mrs. Daisy Gnosspelius,
secretary. A committee was then ap
pointed for the selecting of a list of
permanent officers. Those composing
this committee are Mrs. Charles Coun-
Gil, chairman; Mrs. Morgan Eldridge,
Mrs Ed Sheffield, Mrs. James Daven
port and Mrs. w. H. Estes. A COM
mittee for drafting a set of bylaws
and a constitution for the organiza-
ton being then in order, Mrs. Frank
Sheffield was made chairman, she be-
ing instructed to name the rest of her
committee.
AS has already been stated, the
name chosen for the organization is
the "Woman's Civic League" 1t is to
be a part of the Chamber of Commerce,
an auxiliary, in fact, and will work at
all times in conjunction with this in,
stitution in everything that pertains to
the good of Americas, and in making
her the city beautiful-the gem of
the South.
A meeting will be held Wednesday
afternoon, April 18th, at which time
permanent organization will be effect
cd, and the work for the year outlined
IN part. The formation of such an
organization by the ladies of Americas
has been in contemplation for some
time, but it remained for Secretary
Lyman to get behind the movement
md push it on to completion. Of the
many benefits that will accrue to the
city through this organization we will
not attempt to tell, save to say that the
ladies are alive to the situation and
will leave no stone unturned looking
to our civic improvement, social life
md the general betterment of COM
F2unity affairs. That they are entitled

.sLATON SPEAKS BEFORE
UNIVERSITY CLUB BOSTON

BOSTON, Mass, April 4.-Former
Governor John M. Slaton, of Georgia
spoke last night before the University
club here on the subject of "Universi-
ties and Their Functions" His ad-
dress was the second he has delivered
since coming to Boston, having on Sat
urday night addressed the Beacon club,
the largest and most exclusive organi-
cation in New England on the sub,
ject of Georgia and Massachusetts. >
Education that develops character
and capacity for independent thought
is worth to the individual and the
nation more than all the facts it can
teach, declared Mr.. Slaton.
Continuing, he said:
More important than the acquisi-
ton of knowledge is the formation of
mental character. The attainment CT
anything worth while is difficult. La.
Dor omnia vincit, is thought as es-
sential now as when the old Latin
spoke it; and its meaning more potent
than the tabled lamp of Aladdin,
should be impressed upon the forma.
tive character of every child in the
land.
The mere unitarian would exclude
in his progressiveness the grace and
charm of life. Like Thomas Gadgrind
in Dickens Hard Cash. he would
teach facts, and bread and meat would
be the end and aim of life. A man SO
educated, if his very nature did not

coal workers in Cornwall who are
born, live and die without ever seeing
the light of day.

are the invisible ones. There is Joy
that passeth understanding which
wealth cannot give nor ships upon a
thousand seas approach"
Concluding, Governor Slaton said:
May the mountebank, oftentimes In
flicting his damage more throuhg igno-
rance than design, and sometimes
through selfish indifference to conse-
ouences, pursue his vocation in other
places than the schoolroom and the
college hall"

HARMFUL DYES
Being USED IN
fRANKFURTERS
Commissioner Hansen Finds
That Little "Hot Dog" Has
CoIored Casing

Use of mpermitted dyes for saus-
age castings by 10 less than four large
firms of Honolulu has led United
States Food Commissioner A. w. Han
sen To send out a letter of warning to
offenders. as we'll as a circular letter
20 all manufacturers OF sausage in the
territory. The sausage business is
confined to Honolulu alone, however.
Recent inspections by the food COM
missioner have shown the presence
OF unpernlitted coal tar dyes for the
purpose OF giving the sausage smoky
color. the dye being such that often it
will permeate the meat around which
the casing Is stretched.
Mr.. Hansen said today that there
are eight colors permitted, providing
the color be examined and certified
by commissioner, but that even I'M
the use of these the manufacturer or
dealer must so declare by label or
tag. Other dyes are harmful, and fur,
thermore are strictly against the law.
One of our particular causes of
alarm in local cases said the COM
missioner today, is the fact that the
small frankfurter or hot-dog sausage is
colored with harmful dyes.
IF the meat Is the only part of the
sausage eaten, the use of the dye
would not be quite SO serious" he
says, but in the frankfurter, where
the casing is mostly always eaten with
the sausage it is different question"
The commissioner says that often
the dye is put on thick enough to en-
able it to be washed off in hot water

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN KA|R
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, strcaked or
groy. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You viii get large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition Of other ingredients for about
so cents. Everybody uses this prepara.
tlon now, because no one can possibly tell
that You darkened your hair as It does
il so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another appli.
cation or two, your hair becomes beauti.
fully dark, thick and glossy and YOU
lock years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the cure
or prevention OF disease
