somea children, were released.
Tommy Is T years old. and Grace, his
little cousin is aged2. Their combined
weight OF gold, which, If piled upon the
scales, would make 81 pounds.
When they were stolen from their
homes in August, their mothers asked
100000 mothers all over the United
States to help find them. Ut was due to
this appeal that Mrs. Anna Yan2eg,
who found them here shfvering in the
street, knew they were the lost boy and
girl.

son and daughter of two brothers OF the
same name, Pietro Viyiano, in st. Louis.

GENEROUS OFFER
The Lee & osgood Co. Guarantees
Partisan Sage to Cure Dsndruff,
Stop Falling Hair or Itching Scalp
or Money Back.

But Partisan Sage is more than a
cure for dandruff-it will make hair
grow on any head where the hair bulb
is not altogether dead
And we want every reader OF Ihe
Bulletin to know that Partisan sage
is the most delightful hair dressing
in the world. 1t is so pleasant to use,
and its effect is so invigorating and re-
freshing, that it pleases everybody.
The women of Paris are. as rule,
beautiful and keep beautiful, and a
careful American observer who has
travelled much claims that their beauty
is due TO their knowledge of how to
keep their hair luxuriant which they
do by using a superior hair tonic.
Many American women are as wise
as their French sisters, and that is
Rehy Partisan Sage the quick acting
and greatest of all hair restorers and
tonics is now having such a tremen-
dous sale in America.
Mothers who want their children to
grow UP with vigorous and lustrous
hair should surely use Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold by leading
druggists everywhere and in Norwich

The third verb is can. There is but
one verse in the Bible where this word
is ssed in the sense of moral ability
Paul says. Il can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me. He
has set us a high standard of moral
ability, but we can echo his words. The
fourth word is will. This question OF
what man wills to do is OF vital inn
portance. Not only is it important at
the beginning, but through each sub
seQuent step in the continuance of the
Christian life. 1t needs determination

The Christian Life. This he declared

people. For the character of a Chris
