Station POLICE EFFICIENCY IS TADLED DY COUNCILS Thomas Nelley, Chairman of Police Committee. Opposed Use of Fire Patrol as a Beserve Force for Fear of Causing increased Taxation Sanitary conditious of the West Side section inhabited by Macedonians and Bulgarians was discussed by the Bor ough Council at its (March meeting last evening and was brought about through a report by Councilman Capella, wno made an investigation of these condi tions. Through the discussion it was brought out that conditions in this sec tion had greatly improved recently and that much of the credit for this was due the rector of the 'Bulgarian Ortho dox church, who had made a personal appeal to liis parishioners to improve their surroundings, and incidents were cited how this was done. The proposition of improving the ef ficiency of the borough police force by using the fire patrol of the 'borough as a reserve force in case of sickness to one or more mem'bers of the regulai loree, was tabled after Chairman Nel ley, of the police committee, explained to the borough fathers that to do this at present would lead to an increase u, taxation, but failed to substantiate this assertion figures. A committee from the'Steelton Mer chants' Association attended the meet ing for the purpose of promoting a movement to have the vending license of the borough raised for the purpose of equalizing competition between Steelton and Harrisburg morchants and venders. A petition signed by twenty seven local business men was presented by the association asking for the in creased license. According to the pe tition, the difference of a license of $5 a year the borough and that of $11)6 a year in Harrisburg encourages irre sponsible hucksters and venders to oper ate here. A meeting of the ordinance committee of Council and a committee from the merchants' association was arranged and a report of this meeting will tie submitted to Council at a spe cial meeting March 15. A petition asking that Council re voke its action to pave Conestoga street, between Front street and the western side of Christian street, was presented 'by the owners of 1,32-5 feet of property abutting on this street. The petition set forth that it would mean a hardship to the property owners to pave this street at the present time. B. F. MeXear, Jr., president of the Merchant's Association and a member lof the Board of Health, who owns 'considerable property on the section it is proposed to pave, talked against ; the paying and said it would be uu wise to do the work at this time. Upon the suggestion of Councilman Zim- I merman the matter will be given more consideration by council beifore it- is acted upon. A communication from the • Civic Club said that this organization was considering asking the owners of unoc cupied land in various parts of ' the borough to allow this land to be used for gardening purposes by people who are in straightened circumstances. The Council provided for the tilling of this laud and place upon it refuse from the stables of the fire companies as fer tilizer. A motion was passed to give the fertilizing material but no provis ion wa« made for its hauling or for the plowing requested. Borough Auditors Bechtold, Seal and Nace in submitting their annual report made several recommendations for changes in the systems of handling some borough affairs. The report of the auditors showed a balance in the borough treasury January 1, 1915, of $43,685.61. The receipts for last year were $198,290.15 and the expenditures amounted to $154,604.54. The ordinance committee was last night authorized to have an ordinance drawn up for the paving of Swatara street, between Second and Sixth streets and Elm Street, between Front and Second streets. The ordinance providing for the changes in the streets lighting system was passed on second reading. Councilman Sellers reported that it would cost S3OO to install an addi tional flTe alarm whistle on the pump ing station in th© West Side. No ac tion was taken on thia matter. A representative of a street sweeper manufacturing concern presented a proposition to Council for the pur chase of one or two sweepers. The matter was placed in the hands of the Highway committee.

We all know the advantages of a youthful appearnnce. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks dry, wispy and scragglv, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hun dred-fold. Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully and re moves dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair; besides, no one can pos sibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and ovenly. You moisten u sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand st a time. By -morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick', glossy and lustrous, and you ap pear years younger.—Adv.- Ambition Pills For Nervous People The great nerve toAic —the famous Wendell's Ambition Pills—that will put vigor, vim and vitality into nervous tired out, all in, despondent people in a few days.
