PETITION PREPARED
TO OF|GHT VARE'S VOTE
Board Of Registration Commits
sioners May Hear Argument on
Senator's Residence Today
LEADER IS mystery MAN"

A petition to the Board of Registra b
don Commissioners to have the name
Of Senator Ware stricken from the lists
OF, the ground that he is not legal res
ident of Philadelphia has been prepared
and may be heard today.
An affidavit to the effect that the
senator is not entitled to vote in this
city, it was said will be made by Sam
uel Hill, an Independent, who chal-
lenged Senator Ware on the first regis
tration day. Hill maintains that the
senator legally lives in Amber, Pa.
Senator Is Mystery Man"
Senator Ware is more ,a a ''mys-
terry man" than oyer. He has devcl-
oped spiritualistic powers.
1t seems he is able to enter barred
windows or doors that are closed and
locked without the need of turning
key or drawing a bolt.
He can pass in and out unseen. His
comings and goings are invisible TO hu
man eyes. He could stage an act that
would have the 'Handcuff King faded
He could give lessons to the elusive
Banshee.
For he has "residcd" two or three
months each winter at 20O9 South
Broad street. which he claims as his
legal residence-and yet his nearest
neighbor has never seen him enter or
leave his humble domicic.
The now famous house behind the
chicken wire fence where the owner
of the costly mansion at Amber says
he lives, is next door to another old
time dwelling occupied by Louis HuS
son, a Frenchman. artist and friend
of noted men, veteran of the Franco
Prussian war. who has dwelt there for
thirty one years.
See For Yourself
''You can see for yourself whether
the house next door is occupied, said
M. Husson. when asked about his
eminent ''neighbor."
Has it ever been occupied" he
was asked.
"Oh, yes, years ago. A family named
English used to live there
''But has anyone lived there since
Senator Ware bought it,
81 was away the year the house was
bought about three years ago was the
answer. 81 cannot say, therefore, about
the first winter. l know Mr.. Ware
moved his furniture in--the house is
filed with fine furniture, which must
be rotting away. You know fine furni-
ture cannot last without some care.
''But in the last two years l have
never seen any one there. l would know
il people were coming and going, as
/ am here always"
''Who takes care of the little gar
den?'' he was asked. There is a small
flower bed in front of the door. and the
lot alongside of the Ware mansion
has been dug up and vegetables planted
''Every spring" he explained. "Sen

account for her standing the pounding

TRADE MARK IS OFFENSIVE
From Germany Americans Want Moth

Goods Doomed in u. S.
BY FREDERIC j. HASKIN.
In Chicago Daily News.

Washington, D. C.-For the first
time in over so years, American stores
are practically emptied of German
toys. Only few bisque dolls re-
main, and in most cases these have
been carefully packed away until some
distant day when American toy buy
ers shall have become reconciled to
the trade mark "Made in Germany"
Today this trade mark is not only
unpopular-it is offensive. Americans
will still buy Turkish rugs, Austrian,
musical comedies and Bulgarian color
combinations, but from Germany they
want nothing but souvenirs Of victory.
According to one department store buy
er, woman came into his store not
long ago, in search of a certain kind
of gloves which, she said, she had been
unable to obtain in two other cities.
She was delighted when he finally
brought out pair from some old stock
that met with her requirements. He
was very much surprised, therefore, to
find her in an argument with one of

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
ifs Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At
tractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Adv.
