 San Diego, Cal, Dee. 3l.-Dr. Harry S. Tanner, aged 91 years, died in tnis city Saturday at the county hospital, after an illness of nearly a year pr. Tanners practical application of the theory that health and long life de- pended upon long periods of fasting attracted world wide attention q num- Der of years ago.
 Dr. Harry s, Tanner, first came to notice in 1873 in Minneapolis, Minn., when he abstained from food for forty two days to vindicate his belief that abstinence from food would relieve asthma, rheumatism and an ailment of the heart.
 Owing to widespread doubt, especial ly in medical circles. as to the genu- ineness of his exploit. Tanner offered to repeat the performance under any circumstances which might be named After long negotiations, the test was arranged and in the summer of 1880, he again submitted himself to period of fast which lasted for forty days. For fourteen days he was confined in d bare room and was allowed neither water nor exercise During the last twenty six days of his fast he was permitted to take short walk through Central Park and drink from spring therein. He suffered no i'll effects from the fast.
 
 The press at that tiu.e devoted en- dre pages to the test and Tanners exploit wa sthe subject fo rdiscussion by medical men for many years.

CASE MARCH q
D. c. Public Utilities Com
mission to Hear Petition
for Increased Fares.

The Public Utilities Commission has
scheduled the Washington Railway
and Electric Company petition to in
crease its rates for a hearing on Fri
day, March q, at 1880 g. m.
That the sessions will be lively and
the opposition powerful IL evidenced
by the interest in the date OF the
hearing and the fact that representa-
tives of the citizens organizations
have already announced their inten-
ton to fight the company's petition.
II was only few months ago that
the company was granted financial
relief through permission to abolish
the six-for-a-quarter tickets and
charge a straight scent fare.
Now II is contended that the operat-
ing revenues are insufficient to meet
expenses and pay a fair dividend and
further concessions are sought
A scent fare Is generally believed
to be the desire OF the company, al
though the character Of relief is not
sp ecIfed in the petition.
II the schedule of figures filed il is
pointed out that the cost of installing
the rate Of wages ordered by the War
Labor Board and the increased cost OF
all materials necessitates an increase
in order to run upon a profitable basis.

Sadenwater. Talks are common at
distances from forty to fifty miles.
The seaplane was sent out from this
city to Hampton Roads. Secretary
Daniels remained at his uptown offlce

The official account says: THE Sec

replies from Ensign Sadenwater, who
was plotting the seaplane, the last
remark caught by the Secretary be-
ing the ensign's statement that he was
then about 15o miles away" The ap-
paratus of the seaplane is the largest
transmitter in use in any aviation
service and is as light in weight as
many other designs of less power.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grand.
mothers recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and nobody will
know.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandnoth-
er's time. She used II to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull. faded or stresked ap-
pearance. this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of IVY
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" /"
you will get this famous old prep
aration, 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 II has
been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with il 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.

rather than in things positively OBJ
jectionable. For instance, II Is not
stated with sufficient clearness that
the Monroe doctrine is preserved.
Our nation is not asking to be per-
mitted to assist in the settlement
of European disputes and, therefore,
1t ought not to be asked to give up
its paramount influence in the West
ern hemisphere. Then. too, 1t ought
to be definitely stated that a nation
asked to become a mandatory is at
liberty to accept or decline.
Another matter that should be
made clear-and nothing can be more
important than this-ls that each ma
ton has a right to decide for itself
whether 1t will undertake things ad-
vised by the general council.
Il venture to suggest that the scope
of the leagues work might well be ex-
tended beyond what is now contem-
plated. A substitute for war must be
able to deal with every situation that
can become a cause of war. One of
the most fruitful causes of war has
been necessity for expansion. Grow
ing nations have often gone to war on
some clumsy pretext when the real
purpose has been to secure territory
for an increasing population. The
right to live is one of the inalienable
rights. 1t is a primal right that must
be recognized in nations as well as
So. IL the league of ma
tons is to substitute reason for war,
II must be able to deal with claims
that are made for the waste places of
the earth. A nation feeling a need
for more territory should be able to
go before the league and present its
claims, and point out the territory
which 1t can use to advantage. The
council should consider the claim and
advise upon IT

BRYAN PROPOSES
CHANGES In COVENANT
OF NATIONS LEAGUE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

No-N1AA'Ol~D ANO1a aNS OAHhS
''Third-Abolition Of secret treaties,
which will do much to prevent COM
blnations which lead to war.
'Tf the league of nations did moth
ing more than provide for these three
things our nation would be justified in
supporting It to the utmost.
Bryan Suggests Amendments.
'Tt is not to be expected that so
great an idea as the league of nations
would be made perfect in detail In so
short a time. There are defects that
should be corrected, and the fullest
discussion of proposed amendments
provided should be invited. Ours is the
nation most influential in the league,
ond most powerful because most dis
interested. Its people should help by
free and frank discussion to perfect
the league.
Il venture to point out certain
amendments that should in my judg-
rment be made in the interest of a
stronger and better league. First, the
basis Of representation is not fair to
the United States. A comparison of
voting strength will show that while
our nation Is the most powerful In
the combination whether measured by
population, wealth or moral influence,
1t has no larger vote than nations
much inferior in population. wealth
and influence. This inequality ought,
If possible, to be corrected.
Second, the terms of admission to
nations that may desire to Join here
after are not fair. To require a
two-thirds vote to admit a new ma
tion suggests the social club. where
a few blackballs may keep out an
uncongenial applicant Under no
circumstances should consent of
more than a majority be required
for the admission of any qualified
nation.
Faults of the constitution are
found to be in its indefiniteness
