This statement brings forward an
other matter that must be consider
ed--the extent Of the city assessment.
II now amounts to s1f4176. 600. and
Mayor Harvey presented striking
comparison when he showed that il
had grown TO this sum from total
Of only about $40 200 600 in 1916, an
increase Of about 50 per cent III I'VE
years. This surely is going some.
And Colonel Weller Slower ~ the
Board Of Assessment stated that in
respect Of property assessments there
would have 70 be reductions in many
instances. Instead Of increases. bv
reason Of depreciation He believed
the total assessment for the next year
would be lower than at present.
Now. the question IS: What should
be done in order to meet the financial
situation thus 50 pertinently placed
before the people, thanks to Mayor
Harvey's vigorous employment Of the
new broom
We must maintain the efficiency.

Also, we must not exceed the "Iinnit OF

croblems and looking after the local
situation. Wednesday evening he at
tended meeting OF troop six held AT
the Hunt planning mill and examined
u number OF the members OF that
troop IN their qualifications for ten
derfoot requirements. Thursday after
noon he visited Camp Turner and ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
the site and the general location and
surroundings. Mr.. Fitch had hoped to
develop Camp Turner as sight
for district camp. but found II un-
suitable for that purpose, although II
Ia probable that other ecouts In the
district will use the camp after the
Ardmore' scouts nave finished their
camping period In April MIR. Fitch will
return for weeks stay at that
time probably all the scouts win have
an opportunity TO pass tests before
him or TO meet him at their troop

Common garden sage brewed into

few applications will prove a revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked OF

bottle OF Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store ali ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients.
While wispy. gray, faded hair IS not
sinful, we aIl desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness By darkoning your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does il SO
naturally, SO evenly. You just dampen
q sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time: by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,

CATHOLIC WRITER DIES
MISS MARY MacEACHEN PASSES
AWAY IN RoME-WAS SISTER

Miss Mary Margart MacEachen, sis
ter of Rev. DR.. Roderick MacEachen,
professor of ethics at the Catholic
university, Washington, died at the
private hospital of the Blue Nuns, in
Rome, on Thursday of last week, aft
er a short illness.
Mary Margaret MacEachen had
been in the Eternal City for the last
four years. She was engaged in lit
erary work there, and shortly before
her death she had completed ar"Life
of st. Francis Assist" for which Pope
Benedict wrote the preface. This
work was in Italian. An English
translation is about to appear in this
country.
After finishing the Life of st,
Francis" Miss MacEachen began the
collection of materials for a life of
st. Philip Neri, and travelled over a
great part of Italy in quest of data.
1t is presumed that this work was
nearing completion when. she died.
Miss MacEachen had achieved a rep
utation for solidity and accuracy as
well as for the literary merits of her
work. She formerly resided at Co.
lumbus, Giio.
