Chief Doust of the Spokane police department, is ready and willing to pay a handsome salary to a young woman with a pretty face:and engag- ing manners to act as official flirt. Escorts will He also has a job for a femai: impersonator; with a knock-out punch in each hand. The purpose of attaching these new officials to the department is to dis- courage the practice of men accost- ing women and girls in the streets. Numerous. complaints have reached the department during the last week that women without escorts have been singled out by curb mashers and invited to ride in automobiles. Several ‘arrests were made and in each instance it was found that the prisoners were -recent arrivals from eastern cities. Chief Doust has de- termined to suppress this element e provided. and to secure quick action he has decided to engage an cfficial flirt to rcut the oglers and smirkers. THE HERALD AND AN EXTRA SESSION. At a considerable expense, work and worry, the Duluth Evening Her- ald obtained an expression from every member of the Minnesota legis- lature as to the advisability of con- vening the legislature in extraordin- ary session to enact railroad legis- In the first place it must be conceded that the Herald is enter- prising. It is no small task to ob- tain expressions from nearly two lation. hundred persons, especially when those persons are in public life. Ever since the court ruled that the Minnesota railroad legislation, which provided for the .two cent fare and cheaper freight rates was not worth a hill of beans, the Herald has been in for an extra session to increase the gross earning tax in crder to make up what it figured will be a two million dollar decrease in the taxes of the state. It has been contended that it would be folly fo call an extra session, and the governor has given as his excuse, until tl higher court have passed on the pending proposi- tion. However, the Herald poll is interesting because it shows that a majority of the members of the legis- lature are themselves in favor of re- convening at St. Paul this winter to pass, not only railroad legislation, but some of the other reeded reforms. Prominent among these reforms is our old friend, Reapyortionment. While the Pioneer does not be-| lieve that the Herald is sound in its deduction as to the wisdom of con- vening the law makers to pass rail- road legislation at this time, this paper long has coniended that an extra session might pnss a reappor- tionment bill and, if this is true, the cost of convening the legislature would amply repay. Therefore, we confess to some selfish interest in the Herald’s investigation &s to the feel- ing of members of the legislature in regard to gathering again in the near future, And it would seem that Governor Eberhart must take some notice of the expressions of the legislators as given to the Herald and that he possibly will reconsider his determ- ination not to convene the legisla- ture. It is likely that if the gover- nor is convinced that there is an honest and popular demand for ad- ded legislation the coming winter, that he will yield to this demand and convene the law makers. So far as reapportionment is concerned there is some reason to believe that a bill might be gotten through. As we have often said, a real reapportion- ment bill never.was before the sen- ate. It is pretty freely admitted that if certain southern serators, who are leaders in the senate, had been ap- proached and their aid solicited in putting through the bill, so that they might claim some of the glory, the bill would have gone through in some shape and would at least have given the Norih some degree of relief. As the matter stands now. according to many legal lights, it will be im- possible for the state to reapportion until after the next census, which means that the North.must-continue to permit the over represented districts of the South to tell z ma- jority what leglslation should and what legislation should not be passed. We congratulate the Evening Her- ald on its enterprise and hope that its efforts may resuit in good. STATE OF OHIO. O1rY OF TOLEDO. fgq JUCA8 COUNTY. g Frank 3.

When gray hairs appear it is a sign that Nature needs assistance. It is Nature's call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless h or hair thar is falling out; -is not- necessarily- & sign of-advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly p2ople with per- fect heads of hair without a single streak of gray. ‘When gray hairs come, or when the hair-seems to be lifeless or dead, some -good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Specialists say that one of the best preparations to use is the old- fashioned ‘“sage tea” which our grandparents used. The best prepa- ration of this kind is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prepa- ration of domestic sage and’ sulphur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stimulants, the whole mixture being carefully balanced and tested by experts. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly harm- less. It refreshes dry. parched hair, removes dandruff and gradually re- stores faded or gray hair to its na- tural color. Don’t delay anothec minute. Start using Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur at once and see what a difference a few days' treatment will make in yourj hair. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug- gists.
