Detroit Beauty Doctor Gives Simple
Recipe to Darken Gray Hair ami
Make it Soft and Glossy
Miss Alice Whitney, a well-known
beauty doctor of Detroit, Mich., re
cently gave out the following state
ment: "Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and make
it soXt and glossy. To a half pint of (
water add 1 oz. of bay rum. a small J
box of Barbo Compound and oz. of
glycerine. These ingredients can be

salving the steamship Sesostris off |
Ocos, Guatemala, has not been sight-t

Victoria, left there last summer with
I a party of salvage experts the object
being to tioat the former Kosmos liner

The Folly Of Taking

of many thousands of men and women
because artificial digestents. drufes and I

upon the excessively acid condition of
the stomach contents which is the cause
of most forms of indigestion and dys
pepsia.
The after dinner .>lll merely lessens
the sensitiveness of the stomach nerve
and thus gives a false sense of freedom
from pain. If those who are subject to
indigestion, gas. flatulence, belching,
bloating, heartburn, etc., after eating
would get about an ounce of pure bls
urated magnesia from their druggist
and take a teaspoonful in a little water
after meals, there would be no further
necessity for drugs ol- medicines he.

neutralizes stomach acidity, stops food

TUESDAY EVENING,
DOWNES URGES
WIDER USE OF
NIGHT SCHOOLS
; Superintendent Says at Least
500 Adults Would Like Ad
ditional Training
Wider use of public night schools
was urged to-day by Dr. Downes,
city school superintendent.
"I am sure that there areat least
500 adults in this city who are in need
of better educational training, and If
they only make known their needs.
I feel sure the school board will pro
vide at once for additional teachers
and rooms In various bulldlnsg. At
present we have three night schools.
Two in the Wickersham building for
colored adults and for foreigners, and
another in a small building In Walnut
street, also for colored pi ople. The
! attendance at these schools is less
than 100.
"We are considering changes In
I the school system which may result in
more night school work, but have not
completed these plans," Dr. Downes
said.
125 In Continuation Classes
1 Instructors at the Wickersham
j building for the night classes are John
IP. Scott and M. H. Lavton. while
! Luther Newman has charge of the
j Walnut street school. The buildings
are open four nights a week. Continu
ation schools at present have an en-
I rollment of 125 boys and girls, who
: attend one day each week. Practical
i courses together with academic work
I are arranged for each class.
With the completion of the high
school development and improvement
j plans and the erection of new build
ings. city school officials will give
; much of their attention to developing
■practical work for the manual train
! ing of students.
Extensive arrangements will be
i made for practical work in the wood
working, machine, forge and electrlc
; al shops, it was said to-day, and Dr.
: Downes already has considered tema
i tive plans.
In Junior High Schools.
This will be made possible bv the ad
; dition of manual training v.-ork in the
! junior high schools, and will give all
. boys much more experience bv the
I time they enter the senior high school
with the result that many needs of the
school district may le made right in
the shops of the boys' high school.
: Recently thirty iron standards
with metal sign plates were finished
at the Technical high school. These
are to be used near school buildings
to warn autoists to run slowlv. Much
similar work will be done later, ac
cording to present plans, which mav j
include repairs in a number of schools
when needed.
In some cities the school officials ar
range with industrial plants *o have
the boys in high school spend a week
in the shops, and a week in school, al
ternating during the term. While at
work in the plants the boys are paid
apprentice wages.
To Ht Cp Shops
This plan, however, is not being
considered for Harrisburg, Dr. Down
es said, as shops are to be fitted up
right in the buildings for the practical
part of the manual courses. This puts
all the students under the same in
structor for the entire year, and gives
them the advantage of instruction
while at work.
Eventually the classes mav be put
to work designing and making tables,
desks and many other supplies needed
for various public schools. This will
save the cost of everything except
materials, it was pointed out, and will
in all probability be considered by the
school board.

Whether the city will take over prop

Horn Fighter
Though only 5 feet 5 inches tall and
I weighing about 120 pounds, Major
General Funston was a fighter by birth
I and breedng, but not by training, for
he was not a graduate of West Point.
A descendant of Daniel Boone, the Le
loved hero of every schoolboy, Funs
| ton's career was equally as picturesque
ias that of Boone. Destiny, as well as
desire, seemed to have marked him
: as a fighter, and ever since the Span
, ish-American War he was to be found
| wherever there was trouble.
Born in Ohio in 1563, Funston was
; more of a Kansan than a Buckeve
! boy, as his father moved to a farm
i near lola, Kan., when Frederick was
! only 4 years old. Never an extremely
(apt pupil, he got through the public
schools, hut could sUind only two years
at the Kansas University at Lawrence.
His most notable exploit there was not
in the line of his studies. It was his
conquering of a 200-pound "bad man."
who threatened him with a razor.
Only half his assailant's weight. Funs
ton went for him and when he had re
duced him to subjection, added to his
humiliation by driving him through
the streets to a police station ahead
of a revolver.
Newspaper work claimed Funston 1
I when he left college, and in 1887 he
was employed as city editor of the Tri
bune in Fort Smith, Ark. It was Dem
ocratic in politics and Funston was a
Republican. So when the editor-in
chief absented himself for a period,
Funston amused himself by doing
what he thought was right and just
in attacking the Democratic leaders of
that region. Summoned home by tele
graph. the editor-in-chief arrived just
in time to save the building and plant
from a mob.
"I didn't like my job, and I didn't'
like the town," Funston said, "but l]
thought I might just as well let them
know that 1 had been there before I
j quit.
A trip on a government botanical I
| expedition which took him through
I Death Valley and involved hardships
| that disabled more than half the mem:
j bers of the party next furnished Funs
ton with the spice of danger which
for him constituted the chief charm
of life.
He was next sent to Alaska on a col
lecting expedition. "There are a lot
of persons who know more about
! botany than 'Fred' Funston," said the
head of the bureau who recommend
ed him, "but nobody will come nearer
. getting what he goes after."
i After going through Chilcoot Pass
j alone in a blizzard, being capsized in
a canoe in rapids that had claimed
scores of victims and enjoying many
| other hazardous adventures, Funston
came back from Alaska with the finesti
I collection of botanical specimens that j
| ever came out of it.
I Along the Santa Fe railroad the old
residents still recall how Funston, as j
j a passenger train conductor, threw a j
I drunken cowbo'- off a train and later,
when he hurled a rock through a
coach window, pursued him several
miles on foot while the train waited.
Plcturrsque Character
A mere resume of Funston's ex
ploits will show that he was one of
: the mpst strenuous and picturesque
! men of modern America. Here are
some of his spectacular accompllsh
! ments:
"Served as commander of Gomez's
' artillery in the Cuban revolt, his first
military work, and in twenty-two bat
tles was wounded three times.
"Became colonel of the Twentieth
Kansas, Volunteer Infantry at the out
break of the Spanish-American War.
"Swam the Rio Grande River in the
Philippines under fire before the bat
tle of Columpit.
"Captured Aguinaldo. the leader of
the Philippine insurrection, by a 90-
mile march through mountainous
country without the loss of a man.
"Directed the work of relief at San
Francisco after the great earthquake.
"Commanded the American expedi
tion which landed at Vera Cruz when
Huerta refused to salute the American
colors.
"Commanded the American troops
on the Texas border when the attitude
of Carranza threatened to provoke
war.

Maj.-Gen. Funston s
Life of Continual Action
I Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 20. Major
General Funston's life was one of con
tinual adventure. His father, Edward
P. Funston, a prominent Democratic
politician in Kansas early learned this
although it was not displayed in any
sense of disobedience. Young Funston
wanted to go to the University of Kan
sas. His father had selected another
school, but to Kansas Frederick went
S —with no allowance. He did odd
| jobs to pay for his board until his
father, perceiving the lad's serious in
tention, commenced sending a gener
ous remittance.
When out of school, young Funston
took up newspaper work on the Kan
sas City Times and later on Fort
Smith, Ark., and New York publica
tions. His newspaper career was
! stormy, his Kansas City position ter
minal .ng after he had enlivened a sup
posedly staid market report and his
Fort Smith adventure ending with his
"resignation," after running the pa
per in high-handed fashion during the
absence of the managing editor.
General Funston was a feather
weight as far as physical dimensions
were considered. When he was ap-
I pointed colonel of a Kansas regiment
I Funston was told by a friend, that he
would have a hard time passing the
doctors.
Capture a "Dirty Trick"'
"Then I'll dodge the doctors," im
mediately replied Funston.
He led his troops through the Phil
ippine campaign which terminated
with the capture of Aguinaldo. The
taking of the famous insurrecto was
laughingly characterized as a "dirty
trick" by General Funston in talking
of tho event in later years.
The report that he deserted the
Cuban army, after having enlisted and
fought with the rebelling natives of
that country, was brought back to
New York. General Funston telling
of his Cuban experiences said he had
fought through the campaign, endur
ing every hardship that an unequipped
army can endure. After serving as
expert gunner for more than a year
without pay, he asked for a leave of
absence. This request was not com
plied with to suit him and one morn- j
ing he mounted a horse and rode
away. Presenting himself before a
Spanish blockhouse, he threw up his'
hands and surrendered. The com- !
i mandant turned him over to Consul j
1 General Fitzliugh I.ee at Havana, who
sent him home to the United States.
General Funston was a pioneer Ir 1
the project of paying the enlisted man I
more money for his services.
His quick, snappy way of accom
plishing matters often led him into
discussions and situations which in his
earlier years caused him embarrass
ment- A few years ago he said in an i
interview:
"In my earlier army career I talked
too much. I paid for It too. An army
officer has no business talking. Tho
less he talks the better off he is."
WOJIEX TOO AMBITIOUS
Excessive ambition leads all sorts of
women to exert themselves beyond
their strength. The girl striving for
honors in school, the busy housewife,
the shop girl, the society climber or
leader, all overtax their natural pow
ers of endurance. Then come nervous
troubles, backache, headache, fre
quently organic troubles, which reduce
them almost to despair.
Women suffering thus should first
recognize the necessity of putting on
the brakes and slowing down. Be
■sldes this, to remedy the mischief al
ready done to their health, tho best
reliance is upon that famous and
standard medicine for women's ail
ments, Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Readjustment of wages, bringing in

; Tho Philadelphia division paycar
,! yesterday started on its semi-monthly
j rounds. As announced several days

_! ployes received increases, varying from
\ 10 to 20 per cent. Draughtsmen, nhop
_ men and clerks were among those re

j i increased wages paid out was estlmat
jled at $6,000. More will come to-day

Baggagemen liaise Objections
, i When the baggagemen found their
increase was not included In yester

I baggage agent, that they would not

. money. It was said that Philadelphia
j baggagemen and others have had 'heir
.'wages increased and the local force
II wanted similar recognition of their

, I Edwin F. Dunlap, passenger train
• master, assured the men that in all

next payday. The men ask for a re

Official reports from tlie various of
