HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elias
tic those fbres and muscles which
nature Is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam-
nation Of breast glands. The system
being thus PREPARED by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she j.

DON'T HAVE GRAY HAIR.
A Simple Remedy VIII Bring Back ths
 Natural Color.

Pull out enc gray hair and a dozen will take its place." Is an old saying, which Is, to a great extent, true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear 1t is 8 sign that Ma ture needs assistance. It is Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull, Iifeless hair, CT 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 hfeleSs 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 d-fashtoned sage tea" which our grandparents used. The best preparation of this kind Is Wyeth's s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, 8 preparation of domestic sage and sul- phur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tontcs and stim- ulants, the whole mixture being care fully 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 its natural color. Don't delay another minute. Start using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at once and see what & 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, Lee & Osgood agent.

CHIEF MuRPHYs RETIREMENT

The request of Chief John Murphy en the retired list of the department came as a great surprise to the cit iEens, It had been considered that Chief Murphy would remain at the head of the department fer many years to come te continue the success that he has made in the eight years in the office, It Is needless to say that he has been the best chief of police that Norwich ever had. Hesw appointed to the office with an experience of 21 years in the police business. From the first 1t was evident that an excel lent selection had been made in his choice for the office. He gave his whole attention to the department interests and his persistency and unflagging zeal in running down crime made Nor wich a place to be summed by the travelling criminal class,
 He possessed more than the average cleverness in the administration of the duties of the office, by no means the pleasantest in the city government. He gave the same attention to the small as to the big complaint and manifested a conscientious regard for the responsibilities placed upon his shoulders He possessed the clever cunning and reasoning power of the detective and whether it was in the conduct of the office from the inside, or out on the trail of the criminal, the welfare and safety of the public was his object How well he accomplished it is familiar not only here but throughout the state and New Eng land, for he has been the means of those seeking seclusion here being nabbed.
 In his retirement Norwich has cause for regret His efficiency was un- questioned and now it is to be hoped he will enjoy for many years to come the rest he is seeking He gave his best to the city, and but for the fact that retirement was asked for by him because of health, he would have held the office many years more.

THE REsuLT oE TIPs.

The situation among the striking walters in New York city is getting worse instead of better The great issue between the strikers and the em- ployers at the present time seems to be the recognition of the union. Tn many instances the walters have gone out after the proprietor of the hotel has agreed to the demands of the employees as to more money time off, better food and working conditions. To help out the general situation, how ever, and be organized when other de- mands are to be made, the men are determined that the union be recog- nlzed. The hotel men are equally de- termined and not few of the hotel dining rooms and restaurants are closed.
 By the action of many of the hotel men offering to grant the demands it would indicate that they were within the bounds of reason. At the same time it is noticed that in the best clubs there is no such trouble and nc such demands. This is because of the fact that in those places the tipping system is not permitted. The men know what their pay will be and are satisfied. It may mean the settlement of the present strike by the granting of the demands and the cutting of of the tips. This would do away with the cause of the whole trouble, and the people would likewise be relieved ol the bad practice of tipping. Ii is bad habit and to a large extent the hote keepers are responsible for it. They expect the employees to get their paJ therefrom, and then take it away from them in fines and employment of thell own assistants.
