COUNCIL ADOPTED
NEW LICENSE SHEET
RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER
OF CHANGES MADE. HOME
GROWN MEAT TAX FREE.

The license tax ordinance for Daw-
son for the year 1924 was adopted
at meeting of the city council Tues
day night. A number OF changes were
made though the license sheet in the
majority of instances is the same as in
1928.
The outstanding change in the
schedule, perhaps exempts those sell
ing meats raised upon their own prem
ises, from the tax Of SIS heretofore
required. The ordinance stipulates
that the meats be sold in half or
uuarted animal quantities with the eX-
ception of sparerbs, backbone and
sausage.
The license on soda fountains re
mains at So, with drug stores and
cafes excepted. Agents selling musi-
cal instruments, except where they are
in connection with other lines OF bust
ness, are required, under the new or
dinance, to pay $40 license instead Of
$40. The tax upon auctioneers re-
mains the same, though a licensed
dealer is permitted to sell his own
stock at auction without additional
| tax.
Automobiles and drays are required
! to pay a tax amounting to fifty cents,
| in each of the various classes, more
than is required under the 1923 license
sheet. Each automobile and dray
used for these purposes is required to
post license tag in a conspicuous
place. The license tax for mixing
commercial fertilizers is increased
from SIS to Ssh Insurance license
tax in the fire, life and accident
classes was increased from $lo to Sz2'
The license tax required paid OF Junk
! dealers was reduced from $50 to so,

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sag Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally, so even
ly. Preparing this mixture, though at
home is mussy and troublesome. At
little cost YOU can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning all gray
hair disappears, and, after another ap-
nIication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully darkened, glossy and lux
uriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire a youthful and attractive appear
ance. get busy at once with Wyeth,s
Sage and Sulphur Compound and look
years younger.

SYLVIA

DERHAPS the most poetic of all
! feminine names is Sylvia. Its
origin dates back to NEUROLOGICAL times
when there was deity called Syl-
vanus, a name derived from Sylvia,
meaning wood, or forest. Sylvanus
was the protector of husbandmen and
their crops. He was generally por-
trayed as an old man with cypress tree
in his hand. Just before the Christian
era, Sylvanus became Roman proper
name and Indirectly from it is de-
rived the masculine Silvius, through
the old legend of the son of Aeneas and
Lavinia-bOrn in wood, and hence
called Aeneas Silvius.
Silvius was the name given to
member Of the Piccolonnini family,
who afterward became the pope Syl-
vius and Sylvia became the favorite
names for shepherds and shepherdesses,
Sylvias translation being living in the
wood From its popularity in the
time of pastoral romance, Sylvia be-
came a poetical pane for country
maid and had been much used in Eng
land as a village Christian name
Certainly che poets loved to write
odes and comments and roundelays to
Sylvia whose simple virtues and rustic
beauty they exalted in lyrical ex-
travagsnce.
Sylvia, simplest of rustic names, has
for her talismanic stone, the simplest
Of gems, the turquoise. Set in gold
it will protect its wearer either riding
or walking, so the legend goes. 1t is
the Persians' national stone and they
believe that to see the new moon re-
f1ected in its blue cleaning surface Is
sign Of good fortune. Holly is Sylvia's
flower, Saturday her lucky day, and 2
her taliSmanic number.

Mr.. Dog barked loudly and began to
make the earth fly; but, fortunately
for Mr.. Fox, Mr.. Dog was very large
creature and could not possibly get
through his doorway.

one door to his home, but what was
the use of going out when Mr.. Dog
was all eyes and could see him?
Mr.. Fox shivered every time Mrs
Dog sent out a loud bark, which would
tell his master he had something cor
nered and to come quickly with his
gun.
'He will have me in deep trouble
if something is not done to stop him.,
thought Mr.. Fox, and then he pricked

him. He might be able to escape from
his den without being chased, and at
