ELEVATOR AT LAST
One Is to Be Constructed in the Audi
forum to Accommodate Voters.

Two thousand dollars will be spent
by the city within a few weeks for the
installation of an elevator in the city
building This is not being done for
the benefit of the city officials and
employees. The officials and en-
ployees have managed to get along
without the elevator ever since the
building was constructed and might do
il for many more years.
But hereafter the voters must reg
lister in the office of the city clerk. The
books will be kept there instead of in
the office at the front of the Auditor
jun where sat the election commits
sioner until the office was abolished
by law The office of the city clerk
is on the third floor of the city build
ing and the stairs are long and diff
cult
City officials usually want as heavy
a registration of voters as it is possible
to get. And once the voters found
| they had to climb those stairs there
would be a falling off in the registra-
( ton. The elevator will be installed
| just west of the stairways in shaft
/ that was left there when the building
was constructed.
! Approximately $4,000 will be avail
/ able for the job. 1t was placed in the
/ budget granted to w L. Porter as
| commissioner of parks and public

MUSIC AT CUT RATES
Miss Radcliffe Reduces Price for Re
mainder or Series.

There are three concerts yet to be
given on the Radcliffe concert series.
These will be offered by Louise HON.
er, the prima donna, who will be at
the Grand January 20: Clarence
Whitehall. baritone, and Mischa Ell
man, violinist.
Miss Myrtle Radcliffe. manager of
the series, is offering tickets for the
balance of the season at a great re-
duction- She is selling tickets for 81
for the three stars. 1t would other
wise cost 81 to hear the three.
Madame Louise Homer, the con-
tralto. believes the greatest thing ac-
complished by a home and a family is
the destruction of the egotism which
many exalt as the first necessary
quality of an artist
Thinking 200 much of yourself
says the prima donna, seems to me a
little unsound, and a very poor prop
indeed as one goes on in life. Loneh-
ness must become q bitter foe No
nature can expand if there is nothing
upon which to nourish itself 1 think
| individuality lies much deeper than
this little strutting ego of ours

FIREMEN like IT
The Double Platoon System Gives
General Satisfaction.

When the Topeka fire department
was first organized officially the fire
men had no time off. They were on
duty constantly. Then came time
when a few minutes were given oc-
casionalIy. After a long time seven
hours a week was given each man
Not many years ago a ruling was
made under which the men received
one whole day off each year.
Beginning last Saturday morning
every man has twelve hours off each
day.
How do the men seem to like the
double platoon system ," was asked or
Chief Joseph Hanlon this morning.
Il haven't heard any of them kick
ing about it," he replied
The men themselves are highly
pleased with the new arrangement.
They have an opportunity to keep up
social ties and to spend a part of
each twenty-four hours with their
families. There was some little fric-
ton due to the reassignment of the
men but everyone appears to be sat
isfied today. L. f. Berger, who had
been stationed at No. , headquarters
for five years, rendered his resignation
when he found that he had been trans
ferred to No. s. W. J. Boyd was ap-
pointed by Chief Hanlon TO succeed
Berger. Berger's only reason for re-
signing was that he did not care TO
make the change.

passage OF "a resolution in the annual
meeting OF his directors refusing to

for the International League franchise
in Newark, N. j. Ebbets held the
Newark franchise in the international
League, and when the war came on
with the Federal League he gave up
the right to have a club in Newark.
Ebbets asked the International League
to give him $4,000, but the commits
sion thought $4,000 was sufficient, and
directed the International League to
pay, The refusal, il persisted in, will
cause the International to be consid-

TO HAVE
RECALL ELECTION
GOVERNOR ORDERS ONE TO BE
HELD JANUARY 2-RIe DELE,
CATION HEARD.


Jackson, Miss, Dec. 2O.--Governor
Bilbo spent a good portion of yester
day hearing delegations of citizens
from Carthage. One faction of citi-
zens desired a recall election for the
mayor and board of aldermen of that
place, and acting under Chapter 1853.
Laws of 1914, the Governor ordered
this to be held January 2.
Governor Bilbo stated after the
hearing that while he knew nothing
of the merits of the difficulty in Car
thage, that the law provides that cit
izens desirous of recalling their city
officials may present petition to the
mayor and board of aldermen asking
a recall election, and if they decline
to act the aggrieved parties may ap-
peal to thq governor In this in
stance this procedure had been fol-
lowed and he had no alternative but
to track the law.
The Carthage matter has attracted
some little attention and several days
ago delegation was here to see the
governor, in his absence comforting
with the lieutenant-governor who hap.
pened to be in the city.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural

She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at. home lis mussy, and
out-of-date. Nowadays by asking al
any drug store for SO cent bottle Of
"Wyetli's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in.
gredients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair
"a well-known downtown druggist saws
it darkens the hair SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
q time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glessy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound

who desire a more youthful appearance.

Jews to rush to arms to defend their
