What Will Hurt Most Is
the Way the Company Put
1t Over On the City Again

Except that IL would have best served
itself ia So doing, there was nothing TO
prevent the Detroit United Railway from
raising is rate of fares from seven
tickets for a quarter to the straight five
cents it began 70 charge yesterday
The agreement entered into August
T. 1913. between the city ana tbe conn
pany on its lines where It's franchise
have expired was dag-to-iay affair
which the city could have sbroga tedwth-
out notice. just as the company ha done.
only the city would have felt 1t an oo.i-
CATION to give the company more notice
than the company gave the city
Ii has been such highhandedoe as
this that has brought the company into
il-repute with the people of Detroit and
which causes the people 70 doubt y
when it appeals to them for fair play,
as it does in this instance with ts
claim that the company Is losing money
and cannot afford to continue the cheaper
rate of fare.
The company might at least have eX-
pressed willingness to make some little
concession tos the city, if only for the
looks of things, in return for the added
revenue ii will derive from fve-cent
rides.
It might have taken this opportunity
to consent to a diseontinuance of skip
stops on those lines where they are held
to work a hardship and to be time
wasting rather than time-saying.
There is, unquestionably plenty Of
justification for the company's conten-
ton that it is not enjoying the profits
at this time that it has in the past.
Everybody knows that nearly all ma
terial that is necessary in The construc-
tion and operation and maintenance of
a railroad has advanced sharply in cost
Everybody knows that the company
has been obliged to increase the pay of
its men; that fuel for its car, and for
driving its machinery for generating
power costs more. and so on
The Times isn't ready to believe that
amy citizen of Detroit would want to
see the d. L. r, obliged to continue to
operate without fair and reasonable
return upon its investment.
The Times certainly considers the
ID. u. 4. entitled to such return the
same as any other business is entitled 70
such return. The fact that the d. L.
r. is a public service corporation does
not exempt it from fair consideration.
The fact that it is of vast Importance
as a public service corporation to the
business life and the growth of Detroit
and that it is more than ever an abso-
Lutte necessity to the filling Of war orders
in hand, gives it claim to a reasonable
profit which the city is in duty bound
to hear.
If cost Of operation has increased and
revenues have decreased on account Of
the war, the people should and probably
will accept the higher rate of fare in the
spirit of doing their bit.
But THE PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED
TO A SHOWING IN DETAIL AND THE
ID. II. r. SHOULD HAVE MADE SUCH
A SHOWING BEFORE THE BLUNT
ANNOUNCEMENT AND SNAP DE
MAND FOR INCREASED FARES.

SAGE. TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that
Anybody can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmothcr's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever ner hair took on that
dull, faded or streakcd appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out -of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous, old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-.
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair. taking one strand
at a time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears, and after another appli-
cation or two. it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
thu cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.-Adv.
