PROBES FIRE IN
RA|NC0AT PLANT

c. Albert Gasser, superintendent OF
the bureau of combustibles and fire
risks, is today making an investiga-
ton into the origin of the fire which
caused a great damage to the stock of
the English Raincoat Company's plant
1T 4 and 6 Clinton street last night.
The fire was discovered by M chael
Colyer, 20 years old, the assistant jani-
tor.
William Stanley, the janitor, said he
left the building about s p. m, and
the only people in the building were
those in the %raincoat plant. 1t is said
they left about twenty minutes later
Shortly before 8 p. II. Colyer discov-
cred the fire and broke down the doors
leading to the plant. A furious fire
was raging and he sent in an alarm.
The blaze spread rapidly and despite
the fact tina the flames were on both
sides of the elevator Colyer stuck to
his post and carried the firemen up
and down.
Mrs. Celia Celincione, who lives at So
Clinton street, stood at her window
with her two-weeks-old infant ready
to save herself and her baby in case
of necessity.
H. Kisch & Sons, stationery dealers
on the ground floor, and Nosher &
Gwynne, wholesale opticians on the

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

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our g~randmothers had DARK,
glossy hair at s~eventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are fifty.
Dur grandmothers kept their hair soft
and glossy with a Sage Tea" which
also restored the natural color.
One objection to using uch a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company Of New
York, who a placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable RENEE
dies for dandruff. itching scalp and
thin, weak. falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on it's rich, even shading than any
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple. harmless
remedy will bring back the color In a
few days; and don't be tormented with
dandruff, itching scalp n loose. fall
ing hairs. Wyeth's Sage n Sulphur
Hair Remedy will quickly correct thest
troubles, and give color, strength and
beauty to your hair.

AvERTED WHEN
FIRM DISCHARGES GIRL.

Coda from the Berg hat factory in Or
ange Valley. all talk of a strike among
the members Of the Hat Trimmers' AS
ISOLATION has been dropped. She was
accused by the association of carrying
a complaint direct to the firm, instead
of to one of the forewomen. Miss Coda
denied hat a fine Of $25 imposed by
the association had been paid, and
added hat h did not intend to
pay 1t.
It is understood that the association
told the officials Of the Berg company
that If the girl did not pay the fine and
was permitted to remain at work a
strike would result. and this is believed
to be the reason why the girl was dis
charged.
