The Ideal Architect

A graphic story of the relief which the ! Red Cross is going to the children of the warning nations is told in the Red Cross Magazine
 Early one Thursday morning there gathered at the station at I.iege, in Bel gium, a group of children, 5S1 of them; children largely from the mining towns in the neghborhood who had been col leeted by a Belgian committee and who
 were being asent back to France to be cared for by the American Red Cross. After two days long journey their train slowly rumbled into the station at Evian,
 France. Out of every window were stretched waving hands and little heads,
 crying calling cheering frantically and
 singing. As the train came to a stop, five Evian trumpeters began their gay fanfare of welcome re-echoed by the shouts of the children. The children streamed from the cars and poured through the waiting room, crying greet ings and holding up their hands to be shaken-little cold, damp hands-just for touch to any one they passed. Out in the streets they were gathered in a crowd
 forming sort of line and the trumpeters placed themselves at the head of the procession.
 The trumpets blew loud and the throng of children began to move with a quick, rapid step, almost a run. In groups, in
 pairs, holding hands together, a little brother clnging to his sister, four or

 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home All drug stores sell the ready to-use pro- duct improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound"
 It is very popular, because nobody can discover it has been applied Simply moisten your comb or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disap- pears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appear ance of abundance which is so attract i've. This readyto-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthful appearance II Is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease-Adv.

At the last regular meeting of the city council Commissioner Wander cook was instructed to tear away the bay window of the building occupied as a Mexican restaurant on Chase Creek. This order of the council has been complied with. The window has been removed and that section of the street has a different appearance. It seems to be considerably wider There was no objection to the removal of the window from the owner of the building in which he showed the prop CT spirit of loyalty to the town. The city defrayed the expenses of remov. ing this obstruction and repair the building, but this money is we'll spent for that street has suffered this hui sance too long already.

Sidewalk Approaches to Bridge

The city is having the sidewalk ap- proach to the new bridge put in on the north side of the street. When the bridge was erected this was not done for the reason that it was in front of the old bridge, and it was not expedient to make the walk ap- proach there. Since the old struc- ture has been removed the work of making the north side correspond with the south side of the street is under way. The sone curb is being put in next to the river side, on which will be erected an iron hand rail, like that which is on the oppo- site sode of the street. This will not only be a greater convenience to people approaching the bridge from the hotel, but will improve the ap- pearance of this handsome causeway
