"MAKING SOME ONE OVER."' How many or us are content to ac cept our friends as they are and to let ikeni alone instead of putting forth bll sorts of efforts to make them over 10 suit our individual ideas? Silly habit it is a great many of us iave this trying to make over our friends and it is never productive of anything but unnecessary heartaches, foolish disappointments and hard feel ings. "She's an adorable girl, only she's so very impulsive" and we trail off into a lengthy discourse on this friend of ours and our mighty efforts to make her over. Her very impulsiveness is perhaps one of her most pronounced charms and is doubtless the first thing about htr that attracted us. "She's such a sensible girl in most things and I wonder why she persists in doing so-and-so?" If she is so sensible in MOST THINGS for goodness sake let it go at that, for there are so few of us who can lay claim to being sensible about many things. Who likes a paragon, anyway? I imagine a person who was just about perfect would be the most tire some sort of u being. What if she has this fault or that! What difference does it make so long as there is something about her which really appeals to us and arouses our friendship and love? - The chances are that she sees more than one fault or weakness in us, but she. is deeply devoted to us just the same bless her generous heart. When we come to the extremely diffi cult task of analyzing our feeling for our friends we find it impossible to give our real reasons for liking; them. In fact, I don't think we often analyze our feelings. We just know, intuitively whether or not wo like them, and that is as it should be. Sometimes 1 think we like them quite as much for their faults as for their virtues. Anyway, making them over isn't going to make them one tiny bit more attractive. Who was it who said. "A friend is one who knows all about you and loves you just the same?" Making some one over is a difficult task and a task that isn't productive of much joy when it is finished.

At the regular meeting of the board of aldermen , last night the board adopted the following resolution re garding the proposed election to in crease the school tax 10 cents on the dollar: "Whereas, the school facilities of the city of Charlotte are inadquate to meet the actual needs, and, "Whereas, the taxes now paid by the city of Charlotte are inadequate to meet the actual running expenses and expenses of building and the pay ment, of the teachers' salaries, and: "Whereas, the Board of Aldermen of the city of Charlotte has been called upon to appropriate $10,000 to repair school buildings and $600 for teachers' salaries, and: "Whereas the school board ie with out sufficient funds wherewith to pay the teachers for the present year, therefore, "Be 'is resolved that the Board of Aldermen go on record and hereby request the citizens of Charlotte to come to the rescue of the children and the school board and vote for the additional 10 cents on the dollar in taxation, which will be the issue of tiie election on ihe tenth." The meiituers oi" the board individ ually are apparently much in favor of the proposition, there being not a dis senting vote from and aldermen pres ent. Mayor Bland has freely express ed himself as being not only heartily in favor of it, but as thinking it abso lutely necessary that the citizens turn ; out and insure the result of the elec- tion in favor of the schools. He has j also expressed his willingness to aid Miss 1 e cause uv atieuumg uit? lueeun&s tnat nave oeen pianjnea ana delivering speeches in behalf of the cause. The board spent a long while dis cussing a request made by Superin tendent R. Li. Wo mack of the street railway that his company be guaran teed that they would be put to no ex pense at the crossing of their tracks over the Southern Railway tracks on Mint street, where the Southern will lower its tracks fifteen inches. Mr. Woniack gave as the ground for his request that his company had estab lished, their track there on the basis of a grade furnished by the city en gineer and that no intimation had been given them that they would ever have to change it. After discussing the matter from every point, it was agreed that nothing should be done in the matter, at least at this ime. A motion made by Alderman Kistler passed asking the county to bear half the expense of the smallpox epidemic through which the city has just pass ed. For years preceding, it is said, the county has shared half in the cost of taking care of such a situation. ) Bridge Question. Upon motion of Mr. J. Frank Wilkes the board voted to accept, the offer of the Southern railway to lower it grade at the Church street crossing two feet and to raise the grade ot the street at the bridge and - construct a wooden bridge there, instead of a concrete one as proposed. No action was taken on the offer of the Southern to build a creosote wooden bridge in place of the requested concrete bridge at the Eleventh street crossing. The board having this matter in charge said they were not ready with a recommendation. The board made an appropriation of $25 for repairing damage done to the property of Mrs. Georgia Robinson in the block bound by East Foutrh, Cecil, Fox streets and Elizabeth avenue, as a result of the city's drainage system ad jacant to herp roperty.

' My trouble began with an itching of the scalp of my head. My scalp at first became covered with flakes of dandruff which caused me to scratch and this caused a breaking out here and there on the scalp. It became so irritated until I could not rest at night and my hair would come out In bunches and became short and rough. "Everything I used would cause it. to grow worse and it continued that way for about three or four years. While reading the paper I saw the advertisement of Cuti cura Soap and Ointment aid sent for a sample. It proved so good that I decided to get some more. I used them as directed and in two weeks I saw a good effect. Now my hair is longer and looks better than I have ever known it to be.

Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the miissy mixing at home.

Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and ap pearance of abundance which is so attractive;- besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and fallins hair.
