DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back
the Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take its place. is an old saying.
which is, to a great extent, true, II no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear 1t is sign
that Nature needs assistance. 1t is
Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull |
lifeless hair or hair that Is falling
out, is not necessarily a sign of ad-
vancing 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. Specialists say that one of the
best, preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our
grandparents used. The best prepara-
ton of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Hair Remedy, preparation
of domestic sage and sulphur. scien-
tifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced ana tested by experts.
WNeth's Sage and Sulphur Is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. II refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its
natural color
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeths Sage and sulphur az
once and SEE what difference aefev

haif.

soon. The members of the advisory
committee will pay their own ex-
penses
Former Judge Thomas A. Davis re-
viewed the deliberations of the special
committee since it's appointment three
years ago by Mayor Seymour, and
said the committee has not decided
on which is the better system to

or the Imhon scheme, but the mem

Mayor c. Lyman Denison. of Belle

pleaded with the members to vote
AGAINST the establishment OF an I'm
hoff plant in that town. Councilman
Henry c. Mccormick and Richard G,
Jones. president of the Belleville
Board of Trade, spoke along the same
lines.
Mayor Denison said he appealed to
the city as q neighbor not to put the
Splant in Belleville and asked the conn-
cilmen why it was that Orange, East
Orange, Montclair and Glen Ridge
+ did not establish the system in either
of those municipalities. I'VE have

Denison, while these municipalities
want to put filth in our back yards.
Mr.. Jones declared that the Imhofl
plants in Germany have decreased
values about them about so per cent.
and have proven injurious to health,
lie added that when citizens of the
town appeared at the investigation
which preceded the passage of bill
by the Legislature authorizing the
establishment of the plant in the
town samples were shown of the sew
age after it passes through the tanks,
and all were able to detect bad
odor.
Mr.. Jones said Belleville would
never permit the plant to be estab-
lished, as the citizens will take the
matter to the Supreme Court, If
necessary.
William A. Calhoun and John b.
Everett, other members of the COM
mittee, also spoke on the question.
Mr. Calhoun said that it will cost
Orange $4,000 to join the lmhoff
system and several thousand more TO
go into the Passaic valley scheme.
Mr.. Calhoun told the Council it was
the most important matter that has
ever come before it and that the in
crease of the debt of the city must
be guarded. He stated that the Pas
sale Valley Commission might be pre-
vented from sending sewage into New
York bay, and that scheme is as
doubtful as the Imhoff plan Mr..
Calhoun thought IL possible that the
State might stop municipalities pol
luting Newark bay, as it has the
passaic river, and for this reason
urged prolonging the settlement of
the matter until a thorough investi-
cation Is conducted.
President Fineran. of the Common
Council, told his colleagues the ques-
ton must now be settled, and.
although he favors the visit to
Worcester, il was the duty of the
advisory committee to make q report
on the question long ago.

that the members have been bluff

Council is face to face with a serious
problem, and hoped it would be
settled before long.

LUNBERING WILL BE
RESUMED NEAR MT. NORRIS

The oldtime logging camp will be
seen again in this county this winter
after being unknown locally for
many years. Hundreds of men and
scores OF teams will find employ
ment ali winter in this camp located
on the Benson Estate near Mt. Nor
ris where several hundreds OF acres
OF hardwood tim mber will be cleared
The camps and equipement are al
ready being placed in order and the
work OF cutting down the beech,
maple and elm will commence at
once.
The logging and lumber industry
was at one time the principal occu.
patton of this section but the heavy
slaughter of the forests has made it
a thing Of the past, so that the res
direction of the industry even If on
a much smaller scale is matter of
much interest in this locality. There
are many of the younger residents
who have heard and read much Of
lumber camp life; but this will be
their first opportunity to see it at
first hand and in their own locality.
Wylie Brothers, of Saginaw are
instrumental in the inauguration of
the camp at Mt. Morris. They have
purchased the 130 acre timber lot
on the Benson farm and an adjoin-
ing 100 acres. They are also ne
gotjating for the purchase Of sew
eral other lots in the community so
that it is safe venture to assert
that at least 500 acres of timber
will be put to the axe and saw. a
short time will\see the camp in full
operation. The logs after being cut
will be hauled a short distance to
the p. Nj. siding where they will be
placed on cars and taken TO Saginaw
for milling.
That timber men make good
wages is to be believed from the
statements of some who are familiar
with the work when they assert that
it is practically easy for energetic
laborers to get from S4 to SIS per
day working on the piece work basis
Of 81 per thousand.

COAL Is STRUCK ON
j. r. WIRTH PROPERTY

Excitement and interest has pre-
vailed for the past several days in
this village and Vienna township
over the results that are promised
from the drilling tests of the What
Cheer Coal company of Bay City, a
corporation which has lease Oh
practically all the property in the
township. The results of the tests
have not been very satisfactory thus
far, according to all reports, the
only strike of coal recorded being
on the John +. Wirth property in
the east part of the village. The
recent oil strike in Saginaw, how
ever, has had tendency to stimu-
late interest in the local operations
and reports Of each test are eagerly
sought. The What Cheer company,
howSver, is drilling for coal only,
although in the leases it reserves
the right to prospect for natural
gas, salt, oil or minerals and to as
certain whether or not any of these
exist on the property ''in such guam
tity, quality and condition as to
warrant profitable mining opera
tons"
During the past few weeks tests
have been made on the property of
Guy w. Selby. Elias Hitler and
John H. Pound of West Vienna,
but outside OF excellent flows Of
water there have been no finds"
On the Wirth property a three-inch
vein Of coal was struck, but this
was insufficient to warrant further
operations. The company is now
making test on property near Pine
Run, but the drilling has revealed
nothing in the mineral line. Tests
are made to the depth OF $50 feet
only.
The prospectors are confident
that there is a profitable vein of
coal under the Vienna township sod
and the small find has warranted
their continuance of test operations
with greater vigor. 1t is also plan
ned to test extensively in Mt. Nor
ris township.
