cIared the subject was a debafabiei
one. Mr.. Seaman wen on 10 say
that tnasmuch az there was some
doubt expressed, procedure should
not have been taken in the face of
this to turn the city sttopsy turvy.
He suggested that the matter be
cleared up, that the legislature be

be any doubt as to who was legally
entitled to act as mayor, that the
question be settled properly and for.
All ttra

would have been for the best inter

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made from
Garden Sage, Restores Color
to Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages of being young.
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others,
simply knowing that you are look
ing fit" gives one courage to under
take and accomplish things. So why
suffer the handicap of looking old on
account of gray hairs, when a sim
pie remedy will give your hair youth
full and color and beauty in a few
days time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as we'll. Our grand
mothers used a Sage Tea" for keep
Ing their hair dark, soft and luxuri-
ant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy we have an ideal prep
aration of Sage, combined with Sui
phur and other valuable remedies
for dandruff, itching scalp and thin,
weak hair that is split at the ends or
constantly coming out. A few appli-
cations of this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in a short
time it will remove every trace of
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today. and notice the diff
ference In your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell 1t, un-
der guarantee that the money will
be refunded II the remedy is not ex-
betty as represented.

ASK FOR RELIEF
FROM THE DUST.
Ladies Of Main Street, South
Amb6y Appeal to Council.
,ecial 70 the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, May 22:-Some of
the ladies in Main street asked the
NEWS correspondent yesterday to
call the attention of the city au-
thorities to the discomfort in said
street due to the almost continuous
whirling up of the dust by the pass
ing automobiles. There vas some
talk about oiling those streets that
were subject to continuous travel by
automobiles. If the authorities Cf
the city are not able to put oil on
at present they ask for relief by
s%prinkling, as they are unable to
raise their windows for air on &C
count of the clouds of dust.
AS the matter is understood. the
ladies of Main street will lmportune
the council in person continually
until they endeavor to give some re-
lief. Whether their action will be
of a Carrie Nation nature we are
unable to say, but we know they
mean business unless the request for
relief through the press is granted.

Shortly Farmers Prosper.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Holmdel, May 22-In a short time
the telephone company will establish
an exchange at Holmdel. This is
somewhat remarkable when it is con-
sidered that Holmdel is little more
than a country hamlet. 1t is sur
rounded, however, by a rich farming
territory. Nearly every farmer in
that section has a telephone and this
necessitates the exchange. The es-
Enlistment of the exchange is an in
dication of a big change in rural
communities during the past few
years. Nearly every farmer in the
Holmdel district owns an automobile
and many of them have had electric
ity installed in their homes. This
shows that farming is q profitable
business and that the farmers are
getting their share of the good
things of this life.
