LADIES, WHY NOT PRESERVE
 YOUR YOUTH AND BEAUTY?

Nothing so detracts from the attrac- tiveness of women as dull, faded. Jus l terless hair. l There is no excuse for this condition nowadays, because notice is hereby given to the readers of Norwich that
 Parisian Sage, .tne quick acting hair
 restorer, is now on sale in Norwich
 at the drug store of The Lee & Os-
 good Co, and is sold with rigid guar l antee at 50 cents a bottle.
 Since it's introduction into America Parisian Sage has had an immense sale, and here are the reasons It is safe and harmless. It cures dandruf in two weeks, by killing the dandruff germ. 1t stops falling hair.
 It promptly stops itching of the scalp.
 It makes the hair soft, glossy and Iuxuriant.
 It gives life and beauty to the hair. It is not sticky or greasy. It is the daintiest perfumed hair tonic made. It is the best. the most pleasant and invigorating hair dressing made. For sale by leading druggists every where. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package. Fight shy of the druggist who offers you substitute; he is unworthy of your confidence. This is what Mrs. Elizabeth E. An derson, Mechanicsburg. Pa., writes: 'l
 had given up hope of ever being cured
 of dandruff, when I purchased a bot tie of Parisian Sage It has entirely
 removed the dandruff, and has started
 growth of new hair. and all this aft

 I cheerfully recommend Parisian

EARLY MORNING FIRE
 ON EAST SIDE.
Lounge Caught from Lighted Match
 While Looking for Pocketbcok.

At 6.10 o'clock Friday morning an alarm from box s, corner of Main and Talman streets, called the fire depart : ment to the East Side for a fire in the house No. 455 Main street. It was at the home of Albert c. Clarkson, whose death occurred on Thursday noon. It is understood that a member of the household was looking for pocketbook under lounge, where 1t was thought to have fallen, and to see a match was used. The lounge caught fire and was practically destroyed although thrown out into the yard. Sofa pillows and the paper in the room were burned and considerable damage resulted, al- though 1t was necessary to use only a three gallon tank of chemical on the inside. The recall was soon sounded.
 In responding to the alarm Chen1ica. company No. 1 met with an accident which put the piece of apparatus out of commission for the day The wheels of the wagon caught in the car track just as they were going on to the bridge and slowed the wagon, causing it to strike the pole at the west end of the bridge quite solidly and did ouite a little damage, but it is expected the wagon will be ready for business to- day

WiII Not Attend Frldax Sessions.

Two years ago several efforts were made to get the members of the legis- lature to attend Friday sessions, but a quorum was hardly ever present. The work is so far behind that it was thought best to hold afternoon or Fri day sessions and the latter was tried yesterday, with the result that only about fifty were present, and adjourn ment was at once taken to Tuesday. New London county members present were Representatives Tibbits of Nor wich and Paine of Jewett City. After this 1t is expected afternoon sessions will be held, but no more Friday ses- sions. It has been predicted at the capitol that the session will last until September.
