The WIND BLEW.
Drifts Seven Feet Deep
On WaterviI|e Line.
Blockade on Lewiston Line,
All Day Saturday.
The Thermometer Fell to 20 Below
Zero, Sunday Morning.

Saturday and Sunday We're decided
ly uncomfortable days. the thermome-
ter dropping considerably below the
zero mark both mornings. Saturday
was decidedly the most uncomfortable
of the two ON account of the raw
northeast wind, which out in the coun-
try. blew the snow in high drifts and
effectually stalled the trolley cars.
Twenty below was the coolest re-
ported. Sunday morning, that temper
ature being recorded at Webber pond
and at the National Home. II was Is
below at East Winthrop, L. below at
the Maine Central station, L below at
the Street Railway waiting room and
at the Augusta House, 10 below at
Bithers pharmacy and eight below at
the Insane hospital.
The Augusta House thermometer
showed IL below at I \. NJ. Saturday.
while at Bithers pharmacy ii was only
four below. At some points. however,
the mercury ran as low as Il below.
The high wind of Saturday morning.

down hard over the tracks of the L.,

that there were drifts at Dunbar's and

fully seven feet deep.
No trolley ears We're able ito get
through To Lewiston during the entire
day. Saturday. The car leaving al
A. NJ. got as far as Babeoe<.s cross
ing. the limit of this division, when it
was found that the Lewiston division
had been unable to get through to
3abcocks. Conditions were growing
worse all of the time and for the re-
mainder of the day service was aban-
doned beyond Gardiner. Up to Il A.,
NJ cars We're run nearly to schedule
time to Gardiner, Winthrop and Wa
terville. 1t was necessary to abandon
the Waterville service after IL A. NJ,
on account of the big drifts at Dun
lars Pope avenue and McGoy,s cross
ing Service on the Winthrop line
continued until about p NJ, when
the cars were blocked by big drifts at
SANKEY'S.
A car was also stalled in the drifts
during the afternoon at McGoy's cross
ing, about a mile and a half this side
of East Vassalboro, and in attempting
to push it forward two wheels went
off the iron, but so gently that neither
the car crew nor the passengers real
lied it and all were surprised that the
car would not move after the drifts
were dug out.
Supt. Dunn was out all night, Sat
urday night, with crew of men, clear
ing the Waterville line, which was
only accomplished with an express car
and two snow plows shackied together,
aided by big crowd of shovelers.
The wind went down during the
night, which aided much in the work
and at $50 A. NJ, Sunday, a car was
sent through to Waterville. The line
from Gardiner to Lewiston was cleared
so that the cars went through on

Don't Pull Out
The Gray Hairs

Pull out one 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 sign
that Nature needs assistance. It is
Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull,
lifefess hair or hair that is falling
out, is not necessarily a sign of adj
yancing age, for there are thousands.
OF elderlyepeople with perfect heads of
hair without single streak Of gray.
Wien 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. Special
lists say that one of the best prepara-
tions TO use is the old fashioned sage
tea" which our grandparents used The
best. preparation of this kind is
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Hair REM
edy, a preparation of domestic sage
and sulphur. scientifically compounded
with later discovered hair tonies and
stimulants. the whole mixture being
carefully balanced and tested by ex-
perts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harmless.
1t 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
onee and see what difference a few
days treatment viii make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

in the republican gathering in Chi

strife Where men differ there al

his greatest interest was TO gain control
of the convention for the progressives

Let the light Of Thy divine wisdom

may tend to the preservation of peace
and good will and the preservation of
concord and harmony.
May authority be exercised with,
