THE FIRST GRAY HAIR Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color tF of the Hair.

A harmless remedy made from com mon gerden sage, quickly restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair. to prevent it from losing it's color and lustre. is just as important as to care for teeth to keep them from dis col0ring. Why spend money for cos- fnetics and creams to improve the com plexion, and neglect your hair, when gray hair Is even more conspicuous and suggestive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two. 1t is easier to preserve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion.
 All that IS necessary is the occasional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Hemeuy, preparation of common gar- den Sage and Sulphur combined with other valuable remedies for dry, harsh, taded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and Falling hair After a few applications of this simple, harmless remedy your hair will gradually be restored to it's natural color, in a short time the dan drum will be removed, and your hair VIII no longer come out but will start to grow as Nature intended it should. Don't neglect your hair for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks, You can buy this remedy at any drug store for hfty cents bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the difference it will make in your appearance. Agents The Lee & Osgood Go.

 After Il minutes more of strenuous work Collins had his opponent power less with hammerloek and was giv- en the match.

DANIELSON
Auditor Frank w. Bennett Proves Graft Among seIectnen Impossible Aftermath of storm-Exsmination for Central Village Postmastership October 5.

Frank W. Bennett of DayvilIe, an expert accountant and one of the au- ditors of the town of Killingiy for years past. and who introduced the fine account checking system in use in the towns affairs, made a statement for publication Thursday that is of special interest and value.
 Implying graft is not a legitimate way of campaigning" said MT. Ben nett; 1t Is way of impugning the character of all the selectmen, and as practiced here applies to all select men equally. In several years as an auditor of the books and vouchers of officials in the town of Killingly have never found a single evidence of graft being practiced and I believe it would be hard work to find a town in the state that has better checking sys- tenn than Killingly.
 NO voucher Is paid until it has been approved by majority of the members of the board of selectmen. Every labor voucher Is receipted for by the person to whom the money is due, if not by the laborer himself, then by the man or woman to whom the cash is actually delivered.
 Every bill is passed upon by a ma- jority of the board of seleetmen, and. in most cases, by every member of the board; thus each selectman sees his colleagues vouchers. This applies to any and all vouchers, of whatever nature. These vouchers are plainly endorsed as approved and are signed by each selectman, with date of ap- proval
 "The sub divisions of vouchers are carefully worked out by the clerk of the board of selectmen and the amount of the charges found are car ried to the proper account. The re- ports (annuaD of the town show as fully as is possible all of the expenses of the town that pass through the hands of the selectmen.
 The annual report as published of each selectE1an is an accurate account of the compensation that he receives personally. No amount is covered I'D by charging to road or other accounts where compensat ton is directly to the benefit of the selectman who does the work. This system is a distinct ad- vance over old methods once in vogue here"
 Statistics of Criminal Account.
 In the annual town reports of Kill ingly that may be issued today, there is in the criminal account so-caIled. food for reflection for both the license and no-license factions, this account being yearly called into use to rrove or disprove certain claims as regards the license question.
