law on this subject is already in
existence, and under this law
bond commission for the City OF
Americas has functioned for many
years. Neither is there any naees-
sity for debt-payng commission,
the law very plainly prescribes the
duties of city officials; and very
emphatically forbids and penalties
for the misapplication OF funds. In
addition to TINS it is hardly reason
able to suppose that deDt-paying
commission in its assumption OF the
duties devoWing upon tne mayor
and city council under the terms
OF its cnarter would be more hon
est or honorable than the gentle
men who now compose the govern
ing body Of our city.
Neither is there any necessity
for such a bond to be given by the
clerk and treasurer, as would be
required in this substitute bill. The
charter and the law requires the
clerk and treasurer to give a S10-
600 bond, payable to the govern
ing body of the city, conditioned
for the faithful performance Of
every duty degoIving upon such
clerk and treasurer. We fail to see
how a bond in the same amount
payable jointly and collectively to
the mayor and council, to the bond
commission, the debt-paying com
mission and the school board would
be of any benefit to anybody at
interest, or impose any greater du-
ties on the clerk and treasurer
than he is now under; but we do
see complications and confusion
worst confounded by the giving OF
such an anomalous, unheard of
bond. For all these and other rea-
sons the mayor and council seri-
ously objects to the terms of said
substitute bill, and request that
you abandon all voluntary efforts
TO provide legislation for the gov
eminent of the mayor and dty
council of Americus, and lend your
efforts to the introduction and
passage of the bill prepared by the
governing body Of the city as re-
quested. This body being in i'm
mediate touch with existing condi-
tions in the city, feel that they are
possibly in better position to judge
of the legislation conducive to the
city's best interest than those who

are not similarly situated.
"If, Tor any reason you are un-
willing to carry out the wishes of
the mayor and city council in this
matter, and insist upon the pass
age of the proposed substitute Dill,
we respectively request that you
introduce our bill, have it refer
red to the proper committee, and
arrange for us to be heard before
the committee when it is ready to
act on this matte. By doing this
and giving us notice in t<le to
reach Atlanta for the hearing, you
will greatly oblige. Yours very

New Plan For Tired Bush

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. IL
Father is going to brush his teeth

milk and his lettuce leaves and car
rots daily, and he is going to do
his "one-two- three" exercises be-
fore an open window whenever he
finds his waistline getting beyond
the 32-inch limit.
Mrs Ettella L. Kelly, educa-
tlonal director OF the Kansas City
tuberculosis Society, has inaguar-
ated a plan whereby dad will have
to perk up in looks and fitness II
he is to keep pace with mother
and junior.
The tired business man, by
means of Mrs. Kelly's plan, gets
a four minute dose of health in
struction weekly. 1t is fed him in
such sugar-coated pill that he
doesn't realize what has happen
ed until he begins, unconsciously,
to quit slumping in the shoulders,
to salt his took brushes and to
think of getting yearly examina-
ton of his arteries.
Short Doses.
Mrs. Kelly has worked out pro-
gram whereby leading physicians
and health authorities of the city
appear weekly before the mems
civic and professional clubs for four
minute health talks at the clubs
weekly luncheons.
This health instruction pro
gram continues for year.

The next week, perhaps, he
learns how much more beneficial
it is to decrease his beefsteak BIZ

Later, he learns the necessity of
the yearly medical examination
and he gets firsthand information
concerning methods Of warding
off old age. Dieticians reveal the
surest and Quickets routes to vi
tamines.

The talks aren't all concerned
with dads own welfare. Indiffor-
ent fathers learn how difficult il
is to take the baby through the

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmothcr's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lrstrc TO the Hair.

That beautiful, even shade OF
dark. glossy hair can only be
had bv brewing mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur. Your hair IS
your charm. 1t makes or Lars
ihe face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an appIl-
cation or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances it's appearance a
hundrcdfold.
Don't bother to prepare the
mixture; you can get this fam
Gus old recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients at
a small cost, ali ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound. This can always
be dependcd upon to bring back
the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage
and Sulphur Compound now be-
cause it darkens ST. 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
the hair, taking one small strand
at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after
another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears CLOS
sy and lustrous.-Adv.

Millionaire Montague Brothers
Think Harding VIII Give Pardon

supplying liquor for the May
flower, the Presidents yacht, and
that uudcr the circumstances the
President would never permit
them to be sent to Jail.
There was of course no basis
in fact whatever for this be-
Lief. Not only did the Montagnes
rot supply liquo: for the May
flower hut no one else does. Cab
met members and Senators who
have been aboard the yacht at
thc invitation of the President
declared today that no intoxicat-
ing beverages of any kind had
ever been aboard the Mayflower.
Further than this, White
House official is authority for the
statement that proof that the
Nontarucs never served liquor
for the Mayflower is contained
in the fact that the Montagnes
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1923-03-13

were not pardoned; that no at
tention was paid to representa-
tions made in their behalf, and
that he case never was sent to
the President for action.
After an investigation of the
possible source of the belief of
the Montagnes and their associat-
es that they "stood in" at the
White House, the Gazette learns
that the belief probably originat-
ed in the fact that one of the men
in the case has made trips
from New York to Washington
in the last year or so in the
course of which he has communi-
Gated with old friends who have
access, purely unofficial, to the
White House executive offices.
These friends it is learned, were
some time ago guests at dim
ner at which Green River Wits
KEY was served. The liquor was
furnished by the man who was
connected with the Montague
case. The name of the Greer
River distillery it will be recall
cd, was brought into the Mon
tagne case recently.
The presumption is that this
man went back to New York anc
assured the Mortgages and Others
that they need not fear prosecu'
ton because he was in a posi-
ton to aid them at the White
+ House. Whether he went further
than this and represented that
he had presented liquor to at
taches at the White House, OF
whether he represented that h
had provided liquor for the May
flower is matter Of speculation
The fact is that he did none o.
these things, no matter what rep
reservations he made.
1t will be recalled that aftel
the Diontagnes were convicted
rumors spread freely over New
York that there was gooc
chance for a pardon for then
from Washington. The Depart
ment Of Justice and the White
House were bcsicged with in
quiries from representatives o
New York newspapers regarding
he possibility of a pardon fO
the Montagnes, but these inquir
les were met invariably with thu
response that if application for ;
pardon for the men were made j
would have to take its regular
course. As q matter of fact N
formal application for pardon
was ever received in Washington
although it is understood tina
ccrtein officials were sounded on
on the possibility of a pardon TO
the men.
