BALSAM LAKE MAIL
CARRIER is SEVERELY
INJURED In EXPLOSION

Pat Hermstad, mail carrier out of
Balsam Lake, Wis, was terribly in
jured in mail box explosion on a.
farm on his route, miles southeast
of Midtown, recently. Evidently a
charge of some explosive matter had
been placed in the box intended for
some one, and when the mail carrier
opened the box to deposit some mail
the explosion resulted. He was Sc
verely cut about the head and legs
and his hand was so badly injured
that it was necessary to amputate
two fingers. The body of his car was
riddled with holes. The perpetrator
of the cold blooded and dastardly deed
has not been apprehended but author
tiles are working on the case. Mr..
Hermstad is recovering.

WASHINGTON Letter
By " PDaley

Washington, May lit is gener-
ally understood here that no extra
session of Congress will be called be-
tween now and December. Demand
has been made in certain quarters
that a special session should be called
to enact emergency legislation, pri-
marty for the relief of the Mississippi
river flood victims. The President
who has the sole authority to summon
the legislators to Washington, believes
that an extra session of Congress
would avail little or nothing. The
opinion prevails in administration
circles that existing agencies are full
ly competent to handle the flood sit
uation
Though the publicity agents of var
ious communities are taking it upon
themselves to give definite assurance
that the summer White House will be
located in their particular bailiwick
it is obvious that they are wholly in
debted to their imagination for this
information. The President has given
no definite answer to the numerous
invitations, but has indicated that he
would prefer establishing the summer
White House in the middle west To
this end, he has dispatched Colonel
Startling, Assistant Chief of the White
House Secret Service, on a special
tour of proposed sites in the central
west. While the President will have
the final word, he will be guided
largely by the report of his special
agent.
The average citizen does not realize
the extent of the secret service in
fluence over presidential activities
This, of course, does not include ex,
ecutive responsibilities, their activi.

may face Jail term or a fine, for the
new law requires drivers to come to
a full stop at grade crossings "wher-
ever a clear visible and positive sig
nal gives warning of the immediate
approach of q railway train or car"
The same law applies to motormen
where a street car line crosses a
railroad. Failure to stop is mis-
demeanor
This new provision is in addition
to the old law requiring all drivers to
stop at all times at designated stop"
crossings Another old law which is
retained requires drivers. of vehicles
carrying school children, passengers
for hire, explosives or inflammable
liquids to stop at all grade crossings.
Here are some other provisions of
the new code which it will be we'll for
drivers in Pine county to remember:
On all highways of sufficient
width, all vehicles must keep to
the right of the center of the
roadway and slow moving We
hicles must keep near the right
curb. This does not apply to one
way streets, where keeping to
the right is impractical, or when
overtaking other vehicles.
In crossing railroads or high
way intersections, the driver
must always keep to the right,
unless the right half of the road
is obstructed or impossible.
Drivers of vehicles going in
opposite directions shall each
give the other at least half the
road.
A driver passing vehicle
shall not go to the left of the CEN
ter line of the road unless such
left side is clearly visible and
ficient distance ahead to permit
him to pass the vehicle safely.
A driver shall not overtake and
pass a vehicle upon the crest of
a hill or on curve where he can
not see the road 500 feet ahead.
A driver shall not overtake and
pass another vehicle on a rail-
road crossing or highway inter-
section, except when such inter-
section is controlled by traffic
officer or automatic signal. A
vehicle whose driver has signaled
a left turn, may be passed on the
right
The driver of vehicle passing
another vehicle shall pass at a
safe distance to the left, and shall
not again drive to the right of
the road until safely clear of such
vehicle.
Speeding up to prevent another We
hicle passing you is prohibited in the
new code. 1t provides that the driver
of vehicle about to be overtaken
and passed shall give way to the
right on suitable and audible Asignal
being given by the driver of the over
taking vehicle and shall not increase
the speed of his vehicle until COM
pletely passed by the overtaking We

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Y Mixed with Sulphur Il Darkens
80 Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmOtt-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing IN an age when youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" It is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten. your
comb or a soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darixening the hair after a few applica-
tious, Il also produces that soft lustre
and appearance Of abundance which Is
