her service of which it stood very
much in need Under the present sys-
tenn, the Salvation Army home in Spo-
kane, which embraces this part of
Idaho, receives 5000 for its overhead
expenses. The Salvation Army has the
services of the officer who once de-
voted her entire time to the raising
OF finances, now to the advance of the
work of the institution which she rep
resents, thus giving the contributing
puuIIc beIter results, and applying
every effort of giving to the people
Tor which it was given. This sysem
has proved a success throughout the
country east of the Mississippi river,
leaving the officer entirely free from
any financial burden whatsoever, de-
voting their time to solving the yari-
GUS problems of a social, economic and
religious nature, thus assuring the con-
tributors in each state that there will
be one donation per year. Thus La
tab county, during this week, from
October 9th to 18th, will give their
amount, no matter how large or how
small, this being known as "Oppor-
tunfty Week." The Salvation Army Of
ficer, like the Paul OF old, has learned
to become all things to all men, that
they may win some. They know how
to weep with them that weep. They
know how to rejoice with them that re-
joice, also what it is to be abased and
to abound. The founder Of this or
ganization lived to see what no other
founder ever did, the result of his eff
forts gurdIe the world.
Why the Salvation Army was sue
cess in France was because of its
success overe here before the war.
Our officers and soldiers only did |
there what they had been. trained to
do and had done over here for a !
quarter of century. Remember a |
dollar given to the Salvation Army in
these drives, 100 per cent is spent on
the work represented. No salaries
are paid out of your gifts.
Every dollar you give for charity
goes for charity. The same rule APP
plies to every feature of the work.
Thus remember at the close of this
drive this organization will not ask

Plans for the formation of a per-
manent taxpayers organization were
discussed at the meeting of those in
terested, in Booths block last night.
About $50 taxpayers attended and
several heavy taxpayers outlined the
plans of the organization as we'll as
some of the smaller property own
ers who felt that an injustice had
been done them in the way of too
heavy assessment on their property.
Chairman P. S. Mcmahon presided
and Secretary w. w. Leland read the
reports of the last meeting. A COM
mittee of seven was appointed by the
chair, upon the motion of M. 7. Leg
horn, to form an organization. Tho
committee consists of Messrs. Leland,
Simons, Clifford, Leghorn, Mailman,
Ciecynski and LIE Witt. The commit
tee will act as, an executive body for
the organization until their plans are
finally accepted and endorsed at q
meeting of the taxpayers. Several
other business matters were discussed
and number of new members were
enrolled.
Chairman Mcmahon opened the
meeting with q few remarks. The

to Effect Permanent Organization.

/ taxpayers association is an important
thing the speaker said, land can do
much if everybody will take an inter-
est. [ have been a taxpayer for over
80 years and I can look back and see
where We could have saved much
money if We used judgment. The
running of the city government is too
often shifted. We do not want to
criticize any of the officers Of the city
of New Britain. | can remember
when $4,000 ran the fire departm ent
and $1,000 the police department for
year. 1t wouldn't be a bad idea to
have a taxpayers assoc citation here
because of this shifting of the govern
ment. [ once knew a mayor of this
city who could go to his hotel. pack
his grip and be away from the city in
few minutes. There are very few
officers of this city who pay heavy
taxes. 1t is up to you to decide if
you want such permanent organiza-
ton-it can do much good
THE assessors office in New Brit
ain has too long been a political lob.
The job has gotten away from Burlz-
hardt, although he has been there for
% years, as it is one of the most i'm
portant offices in the city. There isn't
number of men in this city who have
never paid any taxes. Following our
last meeting, a local lawyer told me
Of one gentleman who went into
bankruptcy with a stock of $4,000.
When the lawyer went to look for
back tax receipts, he found that the
man had never been assessed. It's a
big job, and a live man should be
there to watch out for what property
is taxable. We are now on the TOP
of hill, and for the next year we
may be going down.
I'm talking with a number of neo-
pie about this association, have
found that a number are in doubt as
to what this association can do. If
we have a committee appointed with
the right kind of men serving, it can
cut a good deal of ice"
The chairman then called upon T.
Slmons, temporary treasurer of the
organization to read figures which he
had compiled with reference to the
local factories. 1t would seem that
the taxes paid by the factories are the
goal Of the new organization and the
point which they are DESTROYS of hit

SAGE TEA DARKENS

Don't Stay Gray! Here's Simple
Recipe That Anybody Can Apply
With Hair Brush.

with HAIR BRUSH.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmOther's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked 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 bottle of
"Wyeths 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 a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through. your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
