thorities are investigating alleged
fraudulent use of the mails.
In his statement he denied that he
had played anything but an innocent
role in the suit against Mr.. Osborne
and asserted that the marked likeness
between his appearance and that of
the New York attorney was respon-
sible for the suit.
Wax told of the Irritation which led
to his acquaintance with Miss Tanzer
and of his later attentions to her in
Guiding a trip to Plainfield, n. J.,
which is said to have directed the at
tention of federal officials to the case.
Look Strikingly Alike
He insisted that he went to Mr.. Os-
borne and told him of his acquaint-
ance with the case in the hope that he
might clear the attorneys of the stig-
ma attached to the case, but because
of the publicity given the suit decided
1t would be dangerous for him to re-
main in New York.
'Mr. Osborne end l look strikingly
alike, although he is a much older
man." Wax said. I'm fact put on his
glasses and his wife laughed at the
way it strengthened the resemblance.
I am 36, Mr.. Osborne must be more
than So"
Wax has been living in Chicago six
months with a woman known as Mrs.
Ida Dorothy Wax, to whom he says
he is legally welded. A part of last
summer he spent in Wausau, Wis.
where as DR.. Francis f. Burke, he is
said to have been a social fayorite.
Until a few days ago he was employed
here as head night porter in a down.
town department store. Mrs. Wax as
serted that she had known her hus-
band only a a little more than q year
and that they were married year
ago, but declined to say where.
Wax is neatly tailored and he is
said to speak French, German, Italian
and Spanish. He talked freely of his
connection with the Osborne case, but
of little else. except his record as quar-
termaster sergeant in the Twenty
eighth United States infantry.
The police say that he had served
two penitentiary sentences, one at San
Quentin. Cal, and one at Salem, Ore,
both for swindling women. 1t is al
legged that he had preyed on working
women in moderate circumstances,
scraping acquaintances usually by
street fiirtations. Then the police say,
after he has worked on their credul-
ity by promises of marriage, he OBJ
tains possession of their small saw
ings and disappears.
Wax said he would waive extradi-
tion and w. G. Swain. a New York
deputy post office inspector, prepared
to accompany him to New York with
in day or two.
Now that I'm caught, I want to
clear the name of a reputable citizen,
he said. IT want to be square with a
man who had the reputation of being
square"

When Eczema Burns

SOOthes and Heals

If Cuticura did no more than soothe
and heal eczemas, rashes, itchings and
burnings, bringing speedy comfort to
tortured, dishgured men, women and
children it would be entitled to the
highest praise. But it does more. By
using the Soap exclusively for toilet
purposes, allowing no other soap to
touch your skin, you will in many cases
prevent these distressing experiences.
1t is always pleasure, not an effort, to
use them, they are so pure and delicate.

hands cracked open and would bleed,
and it settled around my nails. My

were painful and burned, and to put
them in water made them worse.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. 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 will get
a large bottle OF this old time recipe
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients for about SO cents. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does
it SO naturally and evenly. You dam
pen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time;
by morning the gray hair disappears.
and after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.-(adv)

TEXAS RAISED OWN

DALLAS, Texas. Dec. 21.-Texas

first time since the civil war, accord
ing to Col. E. w. Kirkpatrick of Nc
Kinney, president of the Texas In

This organization has just made
a survey of the Texas agricultural
situation. Diversification was de-

survey shows, than in any previous
year in history A special warning
is issued by Colonel Kirkpatrick to
farmers. against permitting the pres

them to overplant.
Cotton should be made a sur
plus crop" he says. Let the sur
plus be just as large as each indi-
vidual farmer wants. but by all
means make it surplus crop"
Here are some of the facts re-
vealed in the Texas Industrial sur
vey of the agricultural situation in
Texas:
The cotton crop about equals that
of last year. but 10 per cent more
of it has been picked, and SO per
cent more of it marketed, because
of the high prices prevailing.
Some counties have increased the
wheat acreage so per cent
Three thousand acres of peanuts

Texas farmers have paid old obh-
cations. and the state is better off in
this respect than ever before.

Two Demonstrators
 For Franklin County

The quorum court last week appropriated $500 to employ two farm demonstrators for Franklin county, one for North Franklin and the other for the south side. The U. s. government will give $9OO towards the support of the work.
 Franklin county has been for tunate Tn having demonstrators who understood the business and had the energy to do the work they were hired to do, and the benefits to the county are very apparent therefore a demand arose for more thorough work. The county being divided by the river hindered the work a great deal and it was decided best to employ two demonstrators so each side of the county would be equally divided.
 Crawford county has been more unfortunate in securing good men for this important place and the work has not been successful in that county the quo- rum courts refused the last two years to appropriate money to em.. ploy demonstrator. A private subscription was taken last year and Mir. Seymore. formerly of this county. was employed and the work has become more pop ular there.

Tick Eradication Provided for

That Franklin county proposes to get rid of the ticks is shown by the action of the quorum court last week in levying a special tax of five cents per head on all cattle for tick eradication work.
 Cattle from other counties which have just been declared free of ticks are being shipped to market now and bringing from seven to ten dollars more per head than before ticks were eradicated. This is a great in- centive to keep the work going.
