Letter by letter the milk evaporated,
leaving the sheet perfectly clean and
white except for the ink-written mes
sage. This sheet he folded, placed in
an envelope, and addressed.
Later the guard passed along the
corridor. and Signor Petrozinni thrust
the letter out to him.

I don't know if your prison rules re

For answer the guard dampened the
flap of the envelope, sealed it, thrust
it into his pocket and passed on. The
secret agent sat down again, and
slipped his milk meditativeIy.
One hour later Mr.. Grimm, accom-
panied by Johnson, came out of a
photographers dark room in Pennsyl-
vania Avenue with a developed mega

the end of another hour he was sitting
at his desk studying, under a magni-
flying glass. a finished print of the

DON'T PULL OUT | THE GRAY HAIRS.
A Few Applications of Simple Rem-
 edy Will Bring Back the Natural
 Color

Pull out one gray hair and dozen will take it's place" is an old saving, which is, to a great extent, true, 1T no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear it Is a sign that Nature needs assistance It IS Natures call for help. Gray hair. dull lifeless hair. or hair that is falling out. is not necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect 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 Special. ists say that one of the best prepara' tions to use is the old-fashioned sage tea" which our grandparents used. The best preparation of this kind is Wyeth Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of domestic sage and sul' phur scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stimu- lants, the whole mixture being careful ly balanced and tested by experts.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and. wholesome and perfectly harmless It refreshes dry, parched hair, removes dandruff and gradually restores faded or gray hair to it's natural color.
 Don't delay another minute. Start using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at once and see what a difference few days treatment will make in your hair
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle. and is recommended and sold by all druggists

DR. KIMBALL TALKED ON
 AIR, SUNLIGHT AND BATHING
Second of Gym Talks Given at the
 Y. M. c. A.

The second of the gym talks at tho Y. M. C. A. were given on Monday evening before a good number of the men, who heard an interesting discus sion of the subject. Air. Sunlight and Bathing, given by Dr. Rush w. Kim ball
 At the outset of his talk Dr. Kimball empha sized the importance of a sound mind in a sound body and showed the possibility of developing the weak and sickly child into a strong and healthy physicitl' condition. through properly directed health methods Pure air and pure food, he said, was of the utmost importance to the maintainance Of good health. A great deal of the dis ease that we now have comes through the infection from impure food and drink, and it is likely that we could now have if we could have pure food. Equally important to maintain good health is pure air. for if we could have pure air. free from germs, we would have no consumption, no influ- enza, no grip. Sunlight is of import ance, for it is a destroyer of disease germs, such as scarlet fever and diph- theria. People who live without get ting the proper amount of sunlight in their homes are apt to be of impaired vitality and prone to disease. Ventila tion in our rooms is also highly inn portant, but cold air is not necessarily pure 1lI. In0 proper way to SleSp IS in a room with the widnow open, but not SD as to cause a draft over the person. Sleep m a cold room and dress in warm room. In such a way you reaH ytough ea yourself against cold
 The doctor also devoted a few words to proper breathing, which should be through the nose with the mouth shut, as such would induce deep breathing with a use of the abdominal muscles, but the mouth-breather was a shallow breather, using only the chest mus cles. By deep breathing the blood is supplied with the proper amount of oxygen, an efficient aid to keeping us in good health. AS one-third of our lives is spent in sleep it is important that our bedrooms should get the proper amount of pure air.
 As to bathing, Dr. Kinban said that it wasn't likely that many people bsrthed too much, but he had heard of people taking two or three warm baths the same day. which was a good deal too many Probably one a week would be enough. As to cold baths they had to be determined by the individual case. There were two tests which might be applied. Does your health improve uTder the system ard do you get a healthy reaction and glow after a good rub? If you don't the cold plunge isn't the thing fer you. There must be no sense of depression after cold bath. He thought that cold sponge bath taken in a warm room upon arising was a good thing
 The gym men expressed their thanks for the talk by vigorous burst oe applause as he concluded

HEBRON
Governor Foss Declines to Extradite
 Nathan German and Louis Brooks.


 On the ground that the affidavits accompanying the requisition papers Tor fNathan German and Louis Brooks were not sufficient to show them to De fug1tives from justice in Connecti- cut, Governor Toss has refused the re- quest of Governor Baldwin of Connec- ticut for the delivery of the two men
 In his letter to Governor Baldwin de- ciining to grant extradition papers Governor Foss states that Massachu- setts laws require that the complaint accompanying the request shall also be accompanied by affidavits to the facts constituting the crime charged by persons who have actual knowleGEe Ee of such facts.
 There was a hearing before the gov ernor at which counsel for the com plainant and accused men were rep resent ted.
 Governor Floss points out that the complaint charges that the crime was committed March l. 1911, yet no one Of the aff1daNits except that of Hurley the state policeman, states that either German or Brooks was in Connecticut at that time.
 Regarding the affidavit of Hurley. Governor F'Oss finds out that there is nothing in it indicating that the state ment made that Berman and Brooks W ere in the state when the crime wa s committed, was made with the per sonal knowledge of the policeman. Furthermore, Governor F'oss finds it difficult to believe that Hurley could have seen the accused parties in He broD, when he was in Hartford and therefore that the affidavit must have been based upon inaccurate informa- tion.
 Governor F'oss expresses regret in being obliged to refuse the request.
 Brooks and German, for wrom re- quisition was asked of Massachusetts by the Connecticut authorities, are charged with making an attempt to interfere with the working of the garment making plants of Samuel Shirlip in Tarnerville, in the town of Hebrcn, and at Colchester. Shirlip formerly conducted his business at Boston, but after trouble with hIs em- ployes left that city and came to Connecticut. It is alleged that agents of his former employesf including l3errnan and Brooks, were sent to Tur- nerville and Colchester to try TO in dnce his employees at those places to leave him.

 Health Officer Lewis Stanton has no official knowledge of the coming to Westerly of a man from the smallpox infected district of Rhode Island, a1- though he is aware that a rumor to that effect is current. Every Orecau : tion possible has been taken to pre- vent smallpox in Westerly, and the fact that compulsory vaccination has been the rule in regard to school chil-
 1ren for several years is being appre- Giated more than ever. Health Officer Stanton says there is not a pupil in the schools of Westerly who has not been vaccinated, and therefore there is no fear of epidemic of smallpox among school children.

NO ACTION ON SITE

That the present congress will not
fix the site for the Las Vegas post
office, for which appropriation was
made some time ago, but that the sue
ceeding conrgess will do so readily is
the statement made to George A.
Fleming, secretary of the Commercial
club, in letter from W. H. Andrews,
delegate from New Mexico. Mr.. An
drews states he has received the bill
drafted by the joint committee of the
Commercial club and the Las Vegas
club fixing the site for the location
on Douglas avenue now partially. oc-
cupied by the First Presbyterian
church, and has presented it. Mr..
Andrews says the various committees
have ceased reporting bills for this
session. Otherwise the Las Vegas
postoffice site bill undoubtedly would
be passed. The site was agreed upon
by leading men of both sides of the
river as the most appropriate and con
venient location.
