ALL STREET PAVING BIDS
ARE REJECTED BYCOUNCIL
Certified Checks, Which Accompanied
Instruments, Were Ordered Re
turned to Biddeis—Oil .»ili Be
Used on Unpaved Streets
All bids placed for the paving of
South Third, Highland and Conestoga
streets during the present year were re
jected by tho Borough Council last
evening and the certified checks, which
were placed in forfeit for good faith
by the bidders were ordered returned.
This action wis taken on the recom
mendation of Chairman Henderson, of
the Borough Highway Committee, who
is alleged to have stated that owing to
the present financial depression in the
fcorough and at the request of promi
nent property owners sucih action would
be inadvisable at this time.
Follov'ing the action in postponing
the paving of streets, Councilman Hen
derson again presented the proposition
for oiling macadam streets where need
ed throughout the borough and it met
with the approval of the other members
of Council. The Highway Committee
was authorized top roceed with the
work, which will require at least 12,000
gallons of oil. Extensive improvements
are to be made on the unpaved section
of South Front street and approximate
ly SI,OOO will be spent there.
C. S. Davis, of the Municipal
League, submitted plans for the devel
opment of the Luther R. Kelker park
way and they were adopted by Council.
It is planned by the Municipal League
to appoint a day when the school chil
dren and as many adults as wish to
take part will do the preliminary work
of laying out trails and clearing away
the park land. The Highway Commit
tee of Council will assist in this work.
The plans submitted are arranged
so t'hat the parkway will eventually
connect witih the Harrisburg park sys
tem and are drawn on ft comprehensive
scale. The plans include a spot for a
municipal band stand and amphithea
tre, wading pool, a lock out. seesaws
and swings and trails and public roads.
While the development of the park
would cost, too much to undertake all
at one time, the plan is to accomplish
a little of the development each year.
The Borough Water Board reported
that it had made an inventory, as sug
gested toy the borough auditors, and
that the business of the board is oper
ated practically along the lines, sug
gested by the same officials.
The Shade Tree Commission, through
its president, C. S. Davis, applied for a
small appropriation for printing litera
ture on the care of trees and for the
tTiniming of shade trees where requests
made.
Councilman Xellev objected to an ap
propriation for tree trimming, but made
a motion that tihe printing bill for the

Burgess Wigfield requested some
small.improvement for poliee headquar
ters and the installation of a detention
cell for women. The Town Property
Committee will get an estimate of the
cost of these improvements and report
to Council.
The Water Board asked for an ap
propriation for repairs to the filter
plant, where a daily leakage of 36,000
gallons of water is taking place. This
matter will be taken up by the Water
Board.
The Cumbler estate will install a
fire alarm box at the crushing plant

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger 1 Use Grand
mother's Becipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphnr for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her liair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,"
you will get this famous old recipe
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair
and is splendid for dandruff, dry, fever
ish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears, ar.l after another ap
plication or two it becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant.—Adv.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is a Sign You Have Bean
Eating Too Much Meat, Which
Forms Uric Acid
When,you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too 'much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spoils;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
aud when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jail Halts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidne3's, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
ment eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.—Adv.

attack that causes consernation.
This Is also true In matters pertain

health —Stomach trouble—may spring
an unexpected attack at any time and
it is well to be prepared by always
keeping a bo-ttle of Hostetter's Stom

bulwark In time of distress.
Be on guard at all times, and as soon
as you notice the appetite falling, di
gestion becoming Impaired, the liver In
active and the bowels refuse to perform
their dally functions, commence taking
the Bitters. Prompt action, together
with the aid of this medicine, has been
the means of preventing much suffer
ing from Sick Headache, Na.usea, Poor
Appetite, Indigestion, Constipation and
Biliousness.
Don't trifle with your health, but
rather help Nature when weakness is
manifested. Hostetter's Stomach Bit

form a combination that is sure to re

MOVEMENTS OF
THE PRINCIPALS
Wiilard and His Party to Leave Wed
nesday For Key West On Their
Way North—Johnson and His
Wife to Go to West Indies
By Associated Press.
Havana, April 6.—The city of Ha
vana was to-day resuming its custo
mary aspect after the intrusion yes
terday upon its normal life of the ex
citement and enthusiasm incidental
to the passage of the world's heavy
weight championship from Jack John
son to Jess Wiilard. To-night the cit
izens of Havana are planning to give
the new champion a public reception
and present him with a gold watch.
The men most interested in the bat
tle took little part in the general cele
bration last night. Wiilard spent the
early evening sightseeing with friends
from Kansas, after which he had din
ner and went early to bed. The pro
moters were at the' race track until
after midnight counting the gate re
ceipts.
The mystery of Johnson's disap
pearance is now explained. He went
to the race track to see the gate money
counted, although he had no financial
interest in the receipts and at the same
time to keep away from visitors.
There is reason to believe the gate re
ceipts exceeded $125,000.
Wiilard and his promoters and sup
porters will leave here Wednesday for
Key West on the way north. .Johnson,
accompanied by his wife and some
friends expects to leave Havana the
latter part of the week for the French
Island of Martinique in the West In
dies. More than 1,000 persons, tour
ists, fight spectators and others now
in Havana expect to make their way
to Key West during the next two
days. Boats and trains will be taxod
to capacity. In fact all travel records
have been broken in the past five days
by the incoming and outgoing crowds.
A record in the amount of news and
private ea-bles moved out of Havana
in one day also has been established.
Sixty thousand words were cleared on
the cable lines during the past twenty
four hours.
PROF. JOHNSON'S LECTURE
Preliminary Study of Subject In Wii

Owing to the great in.erest in Pro
fessor Douglas Johnson's lecture on
Wednesday night, "The Grand Canyon
of the Colorado," a preliminary study
of this region will be held this evening
in the Wiilard school building, State
street. Photographs an.il maps will be
shown. The United States Govern
ment publications will be consulted and
perhaps a model will be prepared for
study. Professor G. N. C. Henschen and
others will have charge.
The Natural History Society is as
sured that Dr. Johnson's pictures of
the Canyon are unsurpassed and when
thrown upon the screen will reveal the
wondrous beauties of this picturesque
attraction. As indications point to
large and cultured audiences, it is the
intention of the Society to bring other
big attractions for which a nominal ad
mission charge will be made.

It contains about 150 pieces,

when your watch stops, to
remedy the trouble by shak

Don't—that shake is too ex

When your watch stops, or
begins to lose or gain time,,
bring it to Diener's. It will
