FIGHTS HIS BOOSTERS
WITH BOXING GLOVES

ATLANTA, Ga, March 13.-A new
way of training fighting cocks has
been invented by Fred G. Hunter of
Atlanta Putting on a pair of boxing
gloves, he gets down on his knees IA
front of a cock and gives him a bitf
with his left. OF course the rooster, if
he's got any fighting blood at all,
comes back with beak and claws. Then
Hunter swats him with his right,
sending the bird whirling across the
ring" Thus they have it back and
forth, the rooster never getting close
enough to do any damage to Hunter
with it's beak or claws, but always
coming back for more. Hunter finds
that the exercise not only trains the
ROSTERS to stand lot of rough maui
ing, but hardens their muscles and
improves their wind.

RAILWAY NOW
STRENGTHENING ALL TRESTLES

ASHVILLE, N. c.. March 13.-Eyery
frame trestle on the 228 miles of the
Southern Railway line between Nor
ristown, Tenn, and Salisbury, N. c.,
will be replaced by permanent struct-
ures of steel and concrete when the
work of Strengthening this line. which
has been in progress for several
months, is completed.
To facilitate the movement of the
very heavy traffic which passes over
this line, the Southern plans to put in
service Santa Fe type freight locomo-
tives, much heavier than the power
now in use, and it therefore became
necessary to replace or strengthen a
large number of structures.
The extent of this work will be I'M
derstood from the fact that it includes,
encasing stone and brick arches in
reinforced concrete elimination of l19
trestles by construction of 6 under
passes for highways and IA concrete
culverts and the filling of the remain
ing trestles, large concrete and cast
iron pipes being placed to take care
of drainage.
Over this line is handled a large
volume of coal moving from Virginia
and Tennessee mines and heavy mis-
cellaneous traffic in both directions.

Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot.
tie of this old-time recipe. improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not

II is no longer an experiment be
cause Nayor Mitchels administration
is admittedly one of the best this old
city has ever seen. probably the best
since Greater New York came into be
ing.
Mitchell has been renominated for
mayor by majority Of Liz votes out
OF more than 10000. The small margin
OF his victory over ex-senator William
N. Bennett may be accounted for part
Iy because Mitchel's triumph was
thought TO be so easy that his friends
didn't work: and partly because ms
administration has been so Impartial
and efficient that he has made Dumer-
Gus enemies among the public ana
semi-pubIic grafters and the hordes OF
petty political captains.
Mitchell IN national politics is a Dem
ocrat. But, to illustrate how surely
nnn-partiganshfp is winning, he was re-
nominated for mayor in the Repuhti'
can primaries. The exact details OF
the alignments do not know but Il Is
uayident that his candidacy in THIS
fashion is part of the non-partisan ae'
yelopments. At any rate, 1t Is sultc'
iently noteworthy that he defeated a
veteran Republican and a man WHO
had organized his campaign in detail,
whereas Mitchell seems to have had lao
organization WORTH the name.
The election contest will find Mitch
ell opposed by Tammany's Democratic
canssSiate. Judge John r. Hylan. Tam
mar is making a desperate effort 20
retrieve it's shattered fortunes, anc
hopes to do so by ousting Mitchell and
renewing its long reign OF privileges
and perquisites, but the general sentl
ment get from talking to men on the
streets, at elnbs, In the subway, on
the elevated, ETC., is that the friends
OF Mitchell will rally to him strongly az
