OBSERVE "BEEFLESS DAYS"
Railroad Eating Systcm Are Co
operating With Hoover

First National Meatless day" was
officially made effective last Tuesday
in the dining cars OF the railroads OF
the United States. T.. V. Baugh. pres
ident of the American Association OF
Dining Car Superintendents, has been
in constant session with Mr. Hoover's
committee at Washington, says In re-
ferring to the passing of the first
united action: "In the dual capacity Of
president of the American Association
of Dining Car Superintendents and
also In charge of the dining car serv-
ice on a railroad which had its head
quarters so close to Washington
have naturally been expectt to take
the initiative for our railroad in all OF
Mr.. Hoover's suggestions.
THE 'beefless Tuesday was part
of our original plan and all the rail-
roads who are members of the food
administration acted simultaneously.
with the result that no beef was served
on Tuesday. and so far no complaints
have been received"
mo objection will be made to the
eating of sea food in as great n guam
titles as people may wish and as we
are now entering upon the season
when such food is plentiful the oc-
currence of beefless day will not be
felt.

This Machine Makes Men Smile.

He has forgotten how to smile"
is an expression that we sometimes
hear applied to man of glum ex-
preston. 1t may be wholly possible
that such man has indeed forgotten
how to smile and that his facial
muscles, from long disuse, no longer
respond readily to emotions that ordi-
narily would cause a smile.
Science has taken up the subject.
and n machine recently has been de-
veloped that is guaranteed to make
the most unwilling wear a grin many
inches wide. 1t was tested in an
asylum for the feeble minded. on the
principle that those suffering from
acute melancholia might be restored
to sanity II they could be gotten into
the habit of smiling. Any man who
smiles with reasonable frequency is
more than apt to be mentally sound,
II was argued.
This machine Is electrically oper-
ated. When its two electrodes are
placed upon certain nerves OF the
face and the current Is turned on the
subject Immediately begins to smile.
No matter how grave he may feel.
he wears a smile that won't come Of:
until the current IL disconnected. BY
experimenting with other nerves 1t
was found that the person undergoing
the test could be made to look sad
or angry. In fact, 1t was possible to
compel the human face to run the
whole gamut of emotions by merely
changing the position Of the electrodes.
But II Is not the intention OF the
machines inventor to make people sad
or angry. He proposes to have the
whole world laugh--even II 1t must
be done by the aid of a machine.

WALK ERECT

Because man or woman is old does
not mean that they must walk along

All diseases whether of a malignant

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair Is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using
1t to keep their hair a good, even color.
which Is quite sensible, as we are liv-
Ing in an age when youthful ap-
pearance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays. tho, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-u use prod
uct, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound for about SO
cents bottle. 1t is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb
or soft brush with IL and draw this
thru your hair. taking one small strand
at time; by morning the gray hair
disappears, but what delights the Ia
dies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, Is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, II also produces that soft lus-
IRE ana appearance OF abundance
which is so attractive. This ready
to-use preparation is delightful toilet
requisite for those who desire a more
youthful appearance. 1t is not In

GREATER DELINQUENCY
IS ON CITY PROPERTY
Treasurer Now Preparing List
OF Property to Be Sold
Next Month.

Fully two-thirds of the property
which Ed Dalton, county treasurer,
Is listing to be sold for delinquent
taxes in city lots, most OF which is in
smaller towns of the county.
1t is good plan for every owner Of
city property to examine his tax re-
ceipts is the advice given yesterday
by Mr.. Dalton. In many instances the
lirst half OF the taxes is paid and the
owner forgets that he still owes any
thing.
The sale this year, which starts the
iirst Monday in November. will not
be SO large as last year. Mr.. Dalton
said. The total delinquency will run
about $4,000, while that Of last year
was almost double that figure.
The list OF property to be sold was
being checked up yesterday and will
be published at once.

fact that the south end members

Since the weather has moder-
ated to a considerable degree, the
building plans for the coming
year are coming into the open.
From all accounts and appear
ances there will be considerable
new buildings erected in Ely the
coming year. Many of those who
last fall purchased lots in the new
additions have plans prepared for
buildings and several new bust
ness houses are being talked Of.
1t is expected that work will be
begun soon at the falls near Win
ton where the Kawishiwi Power
company will construct hydro
electric plant of about 1000 horse
power capacity. We have been
unable to ascertain the plans of
the new company but from what
we learned last fall when work
of organization was begun, it is
our opinion that this will prove
a Godsend to this section of the
state. The item in another column
relating to the price of coal for
next year would lead to the
opinion that the power company
can be of benefit to the working
mines of the range by the supply
ing of moderately priced current
with which to keep the wheels
moving. Among new buildings in
prospect is a hotel, an opera
house, a new school building, a
city hall and auditorium and a
whole flock of residences.

used by the super-tax or tonnage
tax advocates would be perfectly
funny if they were not so serious.
The argument about the farmer
paying taxes year after year while
the iron mine becomes exhausted
and quits paying taxes is the most
misleading. At the rate the mine
rs paying yearly it will take the
average farm about a hundred
years to pay an equal amount.

acre mineral tract to pay $40, 900

the following reasons for the adj

Mine owners have doubled the
price Of bituminous coal at the
mine pits.
There is no anthracite coal on
the docks and therefore it is un-
necessary to reduce ppices to ex-
pedite spring sales.
The United States government
will probably comandeer all the
