Rose Show Dates May
Be Earlier in June

Much interest is being manifested
in the Rose Show which is to be held
on Friday and Saturday, June 21 and
22, at the Central Y NJ. C. A. rooms.
under the direction of the woman's
advisory board. Letters and entry
cards were sent to rose growers last
week, and already have met with
nearly response. Those who did not
receive entry cards may secure them
from Mrs. w. p. Starkey, Front and
helker streets, chairman of the COM
mite on arrangements.
The "one rose in a vase" class bids
falr to have a large number of en-
trles, as many rose growers who have
out a few choice roses, have signified
their intentions to exhibit in this
class. The climbing roses. too, are
proving popular class for exhibit,
and the teas. hybrid teas and hybrid
perpetuals, will be entered in such
numbers as to make the show
bower of bloom.
1t is urged the entry cards be re-
turned at the earliest possible date so
mat the committee on arrangements
may prepare for the proper display.
Owing to weather conditions which
have brought the roses into bloom
very early, the board is considering
the advisability of advancing the
date to June and s. Notice of the
changed date will appear in the
newspapers on Tuesday of next week.

LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its ma
tural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull. faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
,Lt-of-date Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
colcr and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
gays it darkens the hair so naturally
end evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youth
ful appearance. 1t is not intended
TOR the cure, mitigation or preven-
ton of disease.

AGENTS. RAIDS"
CAN BE STOPPED
Collins Gives Important Rul-
ing in Regard to Employ
ment Agencies Today

The Commissioner of Labor and
Industry has power to make rules re-
stricting licensed employment agents
to doing business to the places for
which they have been licensed, ac-
cording to an opinion given by Emer-
son Collins, Deputy Attorney General,
to l.. f. Palmer. Commissioners of
Labor and Industry, in reply to ques-
tions which had grown out of the de-
mand for labor. The Commissioner is
Informed that his authority is to have
due and adequate supervision over
agents" and their methods of doing
business. He is also informed that a
"fule forbiddfng the sending out of
subagents or representatives beyond
that place to solicit or otherwise
carry on business for the agency
would be a valid one"
In event that an agent is found
guilty of enticing, either by himself
or those acting for him, employees to
leave one employer for another, his
license should be revoked, holds Mr..
Collins.
The opinion goes into the employ
ment situation in detail and will have
wide effect, because of charges that
agents have been 'raiding" forces of
employees.
The Public Service Commission
has refused the application of the
Pittsburgh, Harmony. Butler and
New Castle and the Pittsburgh, Mars
and Butler railway for the lease OF
the latter company to the first men,
toned on the ground that approval
of the proposed lease lis neither nee
essary or proper for the service
safety, accommodation and conven-
fence of the public" The commission
decision says that the rental propos-
ed is excessive. 1t was to consist OF
interest on 100000 of bonds and
certain specified dividends on stock.
An unusual petition was presented
to the Public Service Commission to-
day on behalf of NJ. Swetlick, oi
Hooversville. who asks that the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad be required
to replace a crossing which it had
removed. He declared that it is ac-
cess to land he owns near his home
According TO figures issued by
state authorities to-day the move
ment of 1888 drafted men from
Pennsylvania, which will start to-
morrow, under the first call this
month will be part of a movement
over eight eastern states. In all there
will be 65,276 men moved in the five
day period.
Governor Brumbaugh this after
noon declined to make any statement
regarding his plan of filling the va
cancy on the Supreme Court bench
caused by the death of Justice Mes
trezat. There were reports that he
had offered the place to a western
man, and was awaiting his accept
ance.

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy Iather.
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.
