AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Glossy-at Once
Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color ami lustre
to the hair when faded, or
gray; also ends dandruff.
and stops falling hair. Yeari^^W^the
only way to get this to
make it at home, which is muSr and
troublesome. '
Nowadays we simply ask at any drus;
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound." You will get a large bottle
for about 50 cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no ono
••an possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally anil evenly.
You dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gniv hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully daclt, thick
and glossv and you look years vounger.

SMALL MOffi LYNCHES NEGRO
Half Dozen White Men Take Him From
Officer and Shoot Him
(Huntsville, Ala., Jan. 19.—A mob
of half a dozen men overpowered Dep
uty Sheriff Silas Hunt at Hobbis Island,
yesterday afternoon, and took from him
Herman Neeley, a negro. They then
rode off into the woods with the negro
and shot him to death.
Neeley had been arrested a short
time before on a charge of shooting Ar
thur Craft, a prominent planter,
through the knee and also for wound
ing a mule. 'He had engaged in a tight
with Harry l/ee Kussell, and was shoot
ing at Russell when Craft was struck.
He also attempted to shoot Deputy
Hunt when the latter went to arrest
'him.
Deputy Hunt took the prisoner to
the railroad station to await the irain
for Huntsville, and while unprepared
to resist any such (proceeding, the small
mob of a half dozen men rode up and
forcibly seized the negro. Later his
body was found in the woods, riddled
with bnllets.
This was one of tue most flagrant
rases of mob violence ever known in
Madison county. Citizens of the local
ity in which the crime was committed
«'.press satisfaction that the negro has
been disposed of, but they object to
the lawless manner of the mob.

POSTUM
Coffee contains a powerful irritants-caffeine—which first races the bodv
functions to unnatural speed, and then leaves them in a state of exhaustion.
Result—weak heart, nervousness, biliousness, headache, sleeplessness and
many other ills and discomforts.
Postum—made only of prime wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses—is a

Postum has delightful flavour, and comes in two forms: Regular Postum

GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH'S
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
Following is the inaugural address of
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh deliv
ered to day upon assuming his duties as
chief executive of Pennsylvania:
Fellow Citizens of Pennsylvania:
In assuming the duties of the office
to which you have elected me, 1 am
humbled and steadied by the greatness
of the obligation imposed and the abid
ing conviction that I can do my duty
only when aided and guided by the Di
vine. In His name and for His people
I enter upon this new field of endeavor.
Fortunate, indeed, are we that our Com
monwealth is enjoying to-day the bless
ings of peace and the inheritance of
a worthy record through successive ad
ministrations of its public affairs. To
add an additional chapter to an already
honorable record is my earnest desire.
To this end I solicit" your active co
operation and your unselfish support.
This Commonwealth and the colony
from which it grew have a record of
achievement so splenum that we may
take an honest pride in maintaining its
traditions, in advancing its interests, in
publishing its virtues, in resenting its
assailants and in proclaiming our happy
i lot that we are Pennsylvanians.
To Stand by Campaign Pledges
Throughout the campaign I stood
squarely upon my platform pledges, and
was elected because the people believed
I would use my utmost endeavor to se
cure legal enactments embodying these
declarations. I shall assuredly do so.
When 590,700 voters of this great Com
monwealth give us a commission, they
have a right to demand its fulfillment.
A voice so potential is a command to
the Legislature and the Executive
which, if wise, 'both shall surely heed.
If we give the people the laws they
have demanded and we have promised,
we shall perform a distinctly valuable
service to the Commonwealth. If we
fail to do this we must bear the conse
quences. I pledge myself to an unselfish
service to the whole people of Penn
sylvania, and ask your aid and active
support both in securing good laws and
in enforcing those now on the statute
■books.
There Are Too Mauy Laws
We have heen overlawed. We have
gone too far upon the theory that leg
islation is the cure of our sociai, eco
nomic and political ills. We have ac
tually made legal criminals when, as a
matter of duty, we should have address
ed ourselves to the vastly more worthy
task of educating ojuc people into an
increasing love for liberty, respect for
law and devotion to our American civ
ilization. We should never make a
law that in its operation will work
harm to the many and good only to the
selfish or potential few. It is the busi
ness of government to make it easy to
do right and difficult to do wrong. We
need few additional laws. We could
well afford to Tepeal mauy more than
we enact. I trust, therefore, that we
may all plan together to reduce enact
ments to a minimum, to reject all laws
that do not hold the assurance of good
to the many and so to facilitate legis
lation as to give to the people the few
vital enactments they need and deserve.
As speedily as may be, this we should
do, and when this is done the Legisla
ture should adjourn.
Duty of the Governor
T'OP tlie moral and. the economic wel
fare of our people we must all stand
surely and steadily. Our laws should
be not only regulators of procedure, but
educators of the pu'blic conscience. Our
great assets are not material, but spir
itual. A government that enriches life
and widens a people's vision will en
dure. No other is worthy of the name.
If we address ourselves anew to this
holy experiment, we shall easily add
unto it all essential material good.
I am not unmindful that the quality
of administration is the first concern
and duty of the Governor. This I shall
keep daily in mind. But I also submit
that it is vital to the welfare of the
people that the laws administered be of
the sort that will ensure to our people
"peace, safety and happiness.'' To se-

HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1915.
OLD-TIME COLD
CURE-DRINK TEA!
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, "Hamburger Brust fhee." at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve nnd drink a
teacup full at any time. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores, relieving
congestion. Also loosens the bowels,
thus breaking a cold at once.
It is inexpensive and entirely vege
table, therefore, harmless. —Adv.
cure such laws and no others is .my duty
quite as much as it is your duty. I
take this occasion to urge upon you the
importance of certain well-defined
wishes and admitted needs of our peo
ple.
Urges County Local Option
I urge upon you, gentlemen of the
legislature, the ena-ctuvent of a county
local option law. The people of this
Commonwealth have a perfect right to
decide for themselves whether or not
intoxicating liquors shall bo sold in
their several counties. This issue is be
fore you. You,must meet it, and meet
it openly and fairly. I gave solemn as
surance to the people that I favored
such a law. Your Governor now asks
you to join with him in its enactment.
Every consideration of moment favors
such procedure. The sooner we do so
the better. Let this vexed question be
taken frotm partisan control ami given
directly to the people. They will solve
it better thau we can. The selection
of judges in the several districts should
no longer hinige upon this question. It
has already worked harm to the judi
ciary and has lessened the regard of our
people for the integrity and capacity
of the final legal guardians of the peo
ple's sacred rights. It is a dominant
issue in the public mind. The party that
has given this great State its industrial
and educational development has now
the sacred opportunity of giving the
State a great moral uplift. I trust we
shall not fail the people on this issue.
1 repeat I am unequivoedbly for county
local option.
For Better Highways
The people who are the producers in
Pennsylvania have a perfect right to
insist upon better transportation facili
ties, both by land and by water. We
add substantial good to our people wheu
we make it easy to transport a max
imum load at a minimum cost from
farm and factory to the best markets
and market stations. Four years ago,
under the apprehension that the people
would approve a $50,000,000 loan for
roads, the State took over more than
9,00t0 miles of highways. To this, at
the last session of the Legislature, ad
ditions were made. We now have under
State control 10,200 miles -of highways.
The loan was not approved. The roads
were taken over. This was a mistake.
The current revenues will not properly
care for these roads. They are becom
ing increasingly unsatisfactory. Unless
largely increased revenues are provided
it would be wise to admit this mistake
and begin again upon the road prob
lem. Wo must have now a road policy
that will meet reasonable acceptance
and permit of a. continuous treatment
for many years to come. The people
need, and must have at once, better
transportation facilities.
The State should find revenues ade
quate to the construction of a few great
highways, routed between the great
centers of population. These should be
wel'l built, and when built placed under
the oare of oajpable supervisors, whose
duty it. should be to keep them daily in
good repair. It is sheer follv to con
struct a costly road and, unsupervised,
allow it to deteriorate. These super
visors should be licensed road keepers
and not political accidents. Unless a
man knows how to repair a road ami
is willing to put his knowledge to use,
he ought never to receive appointment
and pay from the State.
Need State-Aided Roads
| _We also need State-aided roads,
j Those may perhaps best 'be worked out
on the county unit plan. The county,
with power to collect from each politi
cal sub-division its quota of road taxes,
should receive an equal sum from the
Commonwealth. The money thus se
cured should be extpended pro rata by
the county upon the roads of the sev
eral townships. The routes should be as
far ae possible those oonneeting county
seats,, and the plans ami perhaps all,
surely part, of the supervision of con
struction be approved and supplied by
the State. Roads should cost less than
in the past. The people should know
all the while what is being done and
what expense is envolved. A good
highway is not only a public necessity
but an actual attainable good for our
people.
The State has now many miles of
•privately owned roads. These are main
tained; some well, some badly, by the
fees exacted from the users. These
should be acquired and made a part of
the public road system of the State.
It is no credit to us that toll roads,
once a blessing, now an irritation,
should continue to exist in Pennsylva
nia.
So vital is this matter and so im
minent is the demand that I urge you
Ho reduce your appropriations in other
directions as far as possible in order
to give the highways the largest possi
ble appropriations.
Favors State Civil Service
The public service should be as effi
cient and economical as private service.
I believe in and would approve a sane
and practical State civil sorvice.
Increase Efficiency of Schools
Under the school code our schools
have made commendable progress. With
feiw exceptions the provisions of that
code are 90 essentially wise that they
should not be changed. Your State
Board of Education, to whom the law
delegates the duty of suggesting such
school legislation as should be enacted,
■will in due time advise you concerning
the laws, if any, that would increase
the efficiency of our schools. I commend
their findings to you. As the number
0# pupils to be educated increases the
appropriations should increase. More
attention must be given to vocational
education. We have the largest num
ber of farmers of any State in the
Union. Surely agriculture Should com
mand greater attention in our schools.
I favor the creation of many rural high
schools in which 'both boys aud girls
may be taught how to earn on the farm
, and in the home an honest livelihood.
An education that does not increase
the size of the loaf on the family ta'bic
is scarcely worth the attention of our
people. All education, no matter how
liberal and cultural, should be so im
parted as to make it usable. The facil
ities for training teachfcis should be im
proved, better supervision provided
and higher education encouraged. But
the emphasis of the State's concern
should rest upon the schools of the
many—the great common school so dear
to our people and so essential to their
welfare. We need a greatly onlarged
permanent school fund. Universal edu
cation is the best safeguard of our lib
erties, and.money devoted to right edu
cation is the State's best investment.
For Woman Suffrage Amendment
The resolution parted by the last
Legislature submitting an amendment
to the Constitution providing for wom
an suffrage should be re-enacted and
the voters allowed to determine for
themselves whether or not women shall
vote in Pennsylvania.
Appropriations to Charity
Pennsylvania leads all States in its
support of dependents. Its records
should bo maintained. But there is
neither sense nor justice in unstudied
appropriations to our many charitable
institutions and agencies. These con
stitute important and wholly worthy ob
1 jocts of public concern and support.
The Legislature should know from com
petent authority their real needs and
, should follow such knowledge in making
its appropriations. Moreover, the "bouti
-1 ( ty of the State should never exceed the
1. j assured income of the. State. It shoul,i|
1 not again occur that the obligation of
, | lessening this bounty should be placed
. j upon tho Executive.
It may be that some wiser and surer
method can be, devised to ensure the : e
funds doing the greatest good and
reaching directly the institutions and
agencies whose service is best or most
1 needed. Surely the supervision of the
State should' follow absolutely its gifts.
The State can afford to be generous
only when it is just,
j Labor and Its Claims
The people w'ho toil are among the
I choice assets of our Commonwealth.
J For their protection, their comfort,
I their advancement, their happiness, we
| are all securely pledged. I shall wel
| come any laws that promote these es
| sentially wise ends. We must enact a
| fair and certain Workmen's Compen
| sation Act. Its provisions should se
| cure reasonable compensation to those
j who in their daily toil suffer from acci
| dent or disease, ft should assuredly
| make for tho prevention of accidents,
j This compensation should be guaran
! teed. The fundls for its prompt pay
j ment should be couutej among the
| costs of production. In scope it should
j not include labor upon the farm nor
service. Great care should bo
1 exercised to see that the law be drawn
j in strict compliance with constitutional
j limitations. The present Liability Act
| needs amendment to the end that it
] may be in full accord) with the above
i proposed act and that both alike may
j guarantee to our workers the certain
! and speody relief they merit and should
j have.
Our Child Labor Lawa are inade
] quate and unsatisfactory. No child
under sixteen should be allowed to
j work. He* should be in school. The
1 small sum he earns prior to sixteen at
j the cost of his physical and mental de
velopment is a pittance compared 1 with;
j the loss he and the Commonwealth sus
tain under present law. Such. '' penny
wise" and "pound foolish" laws are
unworthy this great State. When a
child is not at work under law ho
should be in school. He should never
be a licensed loafer on the streets. The
hours of toil should be supplemented
by hours of study in school. Contin
uation schools to which our children
who toil may resort for practical and
specific, aid should be maintained in
I every industrial center. No child should
' be allowed to enter upon any form of
! service wfyo is not certified bv compe
tent agents to be physically fit for such
service.
In this great industrial State it is
our duty to pay definite attention to
the housing problem. Every family
should be housed in a home that is pri
vate, sanitary, safe and unattainable at
a reasonable rental. I urge your at
tention to this important problem. Wo
cannot, breed gopd citizens in disgrace
ful houses, it would be a great pleas
ure to me and a great blessing to our
workmen if this problem were ade
quately met now.

should be. The State should grow
more food than it consumes. We ougnt
.not to be buyers but sellers of foods.
Money should flow td, us, not away I
trom us. The departments of the gov
ernment charged with the conservation '
of our soil and the scientific develop
ment of our crops have sprung up, one
at a time, as their services were re
quired and no effort has been made to
articulate and co-ordinate these several
agencies. There is at least, department
al confusion, if not actual duplication
aud conflict ot activities All flhis
means waste in funds and lessened serv
ice to the farmer.- I hope in this ses
sion of the Legislature to have such ac
tion taken as will separate the teaching
from the administrative functions of
these agencies and reduce each to an
ordered and scientific service. The
funds for the advancement'of our ag
ricultural interests ought to expres3
themselves much more largely in wheat
und corn and potatoes and less in cler
ical and other forms of routine service.
Ijet us legislate for the farmers rather
than for the office holder.
Municipal Regulation
Our cities have grown more rapidly
than our rurai districts. Our urt>an
population is so complex that it scarce
ly knows how to apply the principles
of democracy. These people will learn,
even if they blunder, when they have
the fullest responsibility of control
placed squarely upon them. They will
learn much more slowly, if at all, while
the State at long '-auge is the large
regulator of their conduct and their
corporate life. Our laws ought not to
hinder but help these great groups
speedily to find themselves in the diffi
cult task of adjusting municipal affairs
to individual welfare. The State
should give these municipalities wider
freedom of opportunity to develop as
they would, an dto .dace definite re
sponsibilities upon them so to regulate
tneir affairs as to make our cities ceu-

The Conservation Problem
Once Pennsylvania was rich in nat
ural resources and unequalled in nat
ural beauty. 'Much of its wealth has
been taken froln it. Much yet remains.
Its ownership has passed to private and
to corporate agencies. They have
rights'that, must be respected. So also
have the people of the State a claim
upor. these great natural assets. In
their marketing the Commonwealth
plays an essential part. In the returns
the people ought also to sfhare. A rea
sonable tax upon' our great natural re
sources as they flow to our market* is
'both fair and w ; .se. Our public lands
represent a new and increasingly val
uable asset. We should speedily ac
quire many more acres and assist na
ture to reforest the same. The State
(an well afford to invest part of its
income for the welfare of succeeding
generations. Indeed, if we love our
continuing Commonwealth more than
we love our personal gain, we shall as
suredly foster our resources and,
whenever possible, add to them.
We fail to sense this obligation
aright if we do not remember that our
people are our greatest asset. What
ever makes for tiheir good is conserva
tion of the loftiest kind. That they
nmy be safeguarded in their health,
their recreation, their education, meir
homes, their worship, their property,
their regulated freedom, their toil,
should be our constant endeavor.
State Haven for All People
Pennsylvania has always given home
and lhaven to the people of the civilized
world. Here we have bad for a quarter
of a millenium the most heterogeneous
population of any State. There has
never beeu persecution or oppression.
In peace, in order, in brotherhood, wo
have grown into a mighty people, an
empire of substantial purposes. Our
people are law-abiding and liberty-lov
ing. They want the right things to
prevail. They welcome the unselfish
leadership of clean men. They want
and must have a clean, capablo and
conscientious administration of their
public affairs. Those of us that serve
should be frankly honest with riiem.
They have a perfect right to know,
and tihey shall know what this admin
istration stands for and will steadily do.
In the performance of public serv
ice let us adopt the finest code of our
best citizens and put private integrity
into public service. Let us all devout
ly pray for this great State and by
our words and our deeds humbly help
our common God to save, to honor, to
exalt this splendid Commonwealth He
has given into our eare and keeping.
