| Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, May 91;-Yester-
day was not only a Memorial Day
for the veteran of the Civil War, but
the thirtieth day of May, 1912, will
be a memorial day for the congrega-
ton of the Methodist Protestant
church in this city, as the events
of yesterday will linger in the mem
DRY OF those living as long as life
shall last. This church for very
many years have owned a plot of
ground adjoining the church, known
as the parsonage lot. Yet pastors
have come and gone, the congreha-
ton has increased and decreased, yet
the lot has remained vacant and
from time to time, as there were
changes of pastors, they were com
PEELED to lease their homes wherever
a vacant house was to be found.
Last October there was a change
in pastors and Rev. f. f. Craig was
assigned to this charge and while
his predecessor had remodeIed, re-
paired, and ~beautifed the crurch
with the assistance of his Congrega-
ton and friends, he was unable to
create sufficient enthusiasm among
the people to erect a parsonage.
Upon the Rev. f. f. Craig locat-
ing here the great need of a par
sonage was evident and he imme-
diately set about to enthuse his peo-
pie along the line of a new par
sOnage with the result that from do

breaking of ground for a new build

1t was decided that yesterday should
be the day when this event should
be inaugurated.
Between 8 and 8 o'clock a number
of the congregation assembled, when
a hymn was sung followed by the
Offering of a prayer by the pastor,
the reading of the scriptures. follow
ed by the first shovel of earth from
the excavation by the pastor, being
followed by representation of each
department of the church lifting q
shovel full of earth from the exca-
walton, after which a large repre-
sentation of the church with bar
rows and shovels commenced the
cellar excavation and completed
about three-fourths of the same yes
terday.
In the meantime the ladies of the
church had arranged for a dinner
and supper at twenty-five cents each
for the benefit Of the parsonage
fund, which closed as a financial
success, nearly 200 persons availing
themselves of the opportunity to get
supper without preparing it them
selves.

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruf, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea OF using Sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers had
dark, glossy hair at seventy-f1ve.
while our mothers are gray before
they are fifty. Our g~randmothers
kept their hair soft and glossy with
a Sage Tea" which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble of max
ing it. This objection has been ov-
ercome by the Wyeth Chemical
Company of New York. who has
placed on the market a superior
preparation Of Sage. combined with
Sulphur and other valuable remedies
for dandruff, itching scalp, and thin,
weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends
more on It's rich, even shading than
anything else. Don't have dry,
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
a few days; and don't be tormented
with dandrur, itching scalp and
loose, falling hairs. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy will
quickly correct these troubles. and
give color, strength and beauty to
your hair.
