 Bessette Makes Record.

Again it is privilege to call the at tention of the tax collectors of the state to the fact that none of them have anything on John M. Bessette, who gets in the tax money for the town of Brooklyn. He closed his ac- counts Saturday. Every penny legally assessed on the list last compiled has been collected by him, a feat that he has performed for the ninth consecu- tiv year. The rate book this year call ed for s15,I57.02. The abatements amounted, because of non-legaI assess ments and errors. to S92.16. MT. Bes- sette turned in the difference between the amounts assessed and abated, S15,- 064. s6. This is some record, and the chances are that MT. Bessette can hold down his present appointment as long as he shows a fayorablee inclination.

A NEW DUST HOLDER.

A statement in the Municipal Jour

that state roads leading into Water
bury Conn aggresating a total of
about seven miles, have just been oiled
by Deputy Commissioner Conway and
his men. with an excellent quality of
asphalt dressing oil brought from the
Trinidad lakes. This oil is so far
ahead Of crude petroleum as to make
comparisons out of the question. It's

and durable. Within thirty-six hours
after the oil has been sprinkled along
the highway il Is possible to denote
the echo Of horses hoofs as it trots
along the surface of one OF these oiled
roads. This illustrates the manner in
which the coating hardens. so that
pieces Of IT can be sawed off into

pose IN Norwich very well this year;

more satisfactory. Let us hope this is

THE DINING TABLE.

Renovating the dining room table is
sometimes ont of the most difficult
tasks to accomplish. There are num-
erous accidents that are bound to hap
pen to this object in question, more so
even than any other piece of furniture
in the housed consequently it is well to
know just what to have on hand.
Nothing looks worse than a table set
for luncheon with doilies and center
piece. and to have showing in between
the large white spots caused by heat
or alcohol. The varnish is often tax
en- completely from the wood, and in
some cases the table must be sent to a
professional for repair. But in many
cases the simple home devices will be
found satisfactory.
If not deep. heat stains may be re-
moved by rubbing with hot milk, while
kerosene oil, or turpentine, has often
been found satisfactory in removing
stains of this kind. Sweet oil or lin
seed oil will remove alcohol stains if
applied at once. If dry rub with kero-
sene. or with oil and alcohol mixed.
Grease stains can be removed with
soap and warm water.

larger space than a 10 cent piece to
support a heavy body; but, at the best,
it is so Injurious that some of its bad
effects are worth reviewing
BY Throwing the feet into an exag-

control, and for women with weak
ankles this means certain breakage or
sprain
1t may make the foot look smaller,
daintier, but it forces such mine

it.
Oculists say that the French heel is
hard on the optic. nerve, as it forces
the body into an unnatural position
and often disturbs the focus of the
eyes.
The extreme heel of this TYPE dis
places the center of gravity and throws
the weight on the union of the instep
with the toes, the part of the fOot
which is least suited to weight bear
ing.
Girls with weak backs have often
been cured by getting sensible shoes,
as the strain of fitting forward catches
one just below the waistline.
Since anything more than ambling
is impossible with French heels, the
general health suffers from lack of ex-
ercise, and with it goes vivid coloring,
bright eyes and lustrous hair.
If the revival is not dreaded from a
health standpoint the vain girl should
so slow from beauty standpoint. The
French heel, throwing pressure on the
ball of the foot and keeping it there,
lowers the arch of the foot and broad

Sage Tea Will
Darker the Hair
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Nat
ural CoIor--Dandruff Quickly Re-
moved.

There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color of
the hair. Our great grandmothers kept
their locks soft dark and glossy by
using a sage tea Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull. faded
or streaked appearance they made
brew of sage leaves and applied it to
their hair, with wonderfully beneficial
effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
old time tiresome methods of gather
ing the HERDS and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
We could do it ourselves, and all we
have to dc is to call for the ready
made product, Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy. containing sage in
the proper strength with the addition
of sulphur, another old time scalp rem
edy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
a few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

THE ARMY OF TRAMPs.

The army of tramps in this country
is about three times as great as the
regular army.
James Forbes, director of the Ma
tionai Association for Prevention of
Mendicancy, estimates that 100000
men in this country are tramps from
choice and would not work under the
most favora BILE conditions. This
great army of idle men, constitutes
the recruiting service for the peniten-
tiaries and despite the efforts of phil
anthropists to curtail the tramp sup
ply, the army of the viciously idle is
Increasing all the time
1t is unnecessary to say that Mr..
Forbes does not include in his estimate
those unfortunate worlSingmen who are
forced to seek employment in any
place it may be found. These honest
men are not tramps or even mendi-
Cants in the eye, of the law Idle
Wi kingmen offer an entirely different
problem in social economics, and this
class of men is absolved from the COM
mon opprobrium attached to the pro-
fess;onal tramp
The tramps have been greatly re-
Ctced in New England and there is
not ore now where there used to be
/ score quarter of a century ago.
The regula lions which make them earn
l.. keep have made them steer clear

In order that Toledo should not be

the valuation. The Blade says: Here
tofore the tax on lot and little cot

mately $50 a year. If the valuations
had not been creased. the amount
would now be only s14 a year. but even
with doubled valuation, the taxes will
