EAGLES WORK
FOR PENSIONS
MEETING HELD TO SHOW
MOVEMENT IN THIS
COUNTRY

A meeting was held under the aus
pices of Wausau Aeria, No. 81, Frater-
nal Order of Eagles, last Tuesday
evening at the Eagles hall, for the
purpose of explaining to the general
public what the old age pension move
ment is in the United States. Roy
A. Chellis, prominent in Eagles cir
cles in the state, and city treasurer,
spoke for about half hour to the sew
enty-five persons attending.
ssMany starts have been made to-
ward a system of old age pensions
declared Mr.. Chellis. bills providing
for them have been introduced in al
most q dozen state legislatures and
a number have come up in congress.
Though the bills that regularly crop
out with every session of certain OF
our state legislatures have never COM
manded passing vote, Investigation
of the whole question has been Won
Mr.. Chellis pointed out that the per
capita cost of an aged pauper in an
efficiently managed state institution
or for outdoor relief runs from $500
to $500 a year. One-third of those
aged sixty and over are home-oWners
and in a great majority of cases the
dependent aged are long time resi-
dents of their states and nation.
"All movements toward the accom-
plishment of old age pensions nave
been but gestures. 1t remains TO pass
the palm for accomplishment to the
far away frontier land OF Alaska,
which actually has adopted system
of old age pensions. There, an aged
person has the option of receiving a
monthly pension of $12.50 or going to
the Pioneers home at Sitka. Inc re-
cipient of the pension must be sixty
five years old or over and resident
of Alaska for ten years. Arizona once
adopted an old age pension plan pro-
posed on the initiative privilege but
the bill as framed was crude and
plainly unconstitutional and was
promptly declared void by the state
supreme court.
"It was the swift-traveling resolve
OF the members of the Fraternal Or
der of Eagles, 100000 strong, one OF
whose principles is justice, that the
Injustice of scrapping men at sixty
without income and with no prospect
by the poorhouse or dependence on
already heavily burdened children,
should end
aFollowing out this line of humani-
tartan action, the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles now is turning all the power
full mechanism of it's organized mem
bership to the securing Of old age PEN
sions for the workers. The order rec
ogniZes the debt of the state to these
men who have served it in honorable,
necessary, but often ill-paid toll, and
IL dnn0Jnces the Injustice done such
men at sixty by their being thrust out
of the line of employment, with no re-
sources but the love and duty of their
children, if they have them, as many
have not, or cold charity

AN OLD, RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
iustre 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 troublesome,
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft ebrush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeti1's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention of
disease. q

turned to the guard.
"Doane, do you know who | am ,"
The patrolman nodded.

Instantly the dragon turned in

the compartment dropped forward on
noiseless, unseen hinges and the in
terror of the small, secret space was
exposed.
Mentally congratulating himself
that Doane had elected to remain
outside, Barry drew forth the con
tents of the compartment in both
hands and carried it carefully to a
small table. 1t was evident enough
at last that somewhere beneath the
hard surface, brilliancy and devilish-
ly clever, bitter humor Of the dead

take it that your orders tonight,
Doane, are to keep guard outside the

anybody in, but as long as you're
taking the responsibility, the lock is

Barry pashed open the broken
, door, which swung drunkenly on its
hinges, and entering the perfumed,
Uttered living room, he found his
way to the wall switch and turned
on the opalescent lamps.
The little writing desk was open,
its profusion of papers scattered on
the floor, and the drawers of an all
most priceless Chinese cabinet had
been forced. Approaching the lat

were mainly scraps of drawing pa
per on which tiny figures had been
scrawled, each with a few deft lines,
and picking up one. he whistled
softly.
1t was miniature caricature,
cruel in its sharply defined charac-
ter delineations, of pompous, good
natured Theodore Vansittart, hus-
band of the woman whose unfinished
portrait stood on the easel in the
studio, and glancing over the others
Barry found like caricatures of sew
eral people prominent in the social
and political life of the city.
He was turning away from the
cabinet when he noticed something
which it was obvious that the de-
tectives had overlooked; small
compartment at the top, with ham
die formed by tiny red-goId dragon,
remained undisturbed,
