GETS HIS BOY.
Harry Chassen Has to Satisfy Govern ment Lad Will Not Become Public Charge.

Harry Chassen left Tuesday for
 Boston to get his son and bring him back to his home in this city. Some time ago Mir, Chassen went to Russia and got his boy and sailed with him to this country; but upon reaching the port of Boston the authorities refused to permit him to land because of his physical disability. The boy has ever since been held in Boston, while the father has been at work to obtain his release from the federal authorities. The lad has been detained almost a month. He is about 16 years old. Mir. Chassen with Louis Feiner went to Washington, D. C., to ascertain if there was not some way that the boy could be given into the custody of his father. They got in touch with the secretary of the interior, and it was found that if a satisfactory bond could be filed releasing this country from all liability for the care of the boy, in the event that he should become a public charge, an order would be is sued releasing the boy The task of obtaining admission to this country for his son has taken considerable of MT. Chassen's time and has been a con- siderable expense to him as well.

SAGE TEA DARkENs HAIR.
Restores Faded and Gray Hair to Nat
 ural Color.

There is nothing new about the idea of using Sage fer restoring the color of the hair Our grandmothers kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by the use of a simple Sage Tea" Whenever their hair fell out or took on Q dull, faded or streal1ed appearance they made a brew of Sage leaves, and applied it to their hair, with wonder fully beneficial effect,
 Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old time tiTesome method of gath ering the herbs and making the tea This is done by skillful chemists better than we could do it ourselves and all we have to do is to call for the ready made product Wyeths Sage and Sul- PhHr Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the proper strength, with the addition 0f Sulphur another old-time scalp remedy
 This preparation gives youthful col oF and beauty to the hair, and is one of the best remedies you can use for dandruff, dry, feverish, itching scalp and falling hair.

SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Borough Has Only Enough to Last the Week Out-Manufacturers Better Off.

Danielson is face to face with a shortage of coal such as has not been known since the big strike of miners about a decade ago. A hotel prOprie- tor who wanted to get some bitumi- nous coal for his boilers Tuesday found that he could not buy a pound in town. The supply of hard coal is also reduced to the minimum and buy CTS who sent in orders for a. ton or two Tuesday had to be satisfied with deliveries that did not exceed a fraC- ton of a ton. This situation is dupl cated in other towns in this section of the county. It was stated by one dealer Tuesday that it is not probable l that there is much more than enough l hard coal in town to last out the de mands of the week, and this only by | apoortioning the supply with scrupu- | lous care.
 Shortage of cars and various other l excuses are being made by the whole sale people and mine people to ex- 1 plain why they are not making ship 1 ments. Coal can be had, but only by | paying an excessive premium. There has been no advance in charges in l Danielson, simply the cutting down of the quantities delivered, but this ar rangement cannot be long maintained 1t Is said. The sales of wood are in | creasing rapidly on account of the ] conditions that prevail
 Most of tho large manufacturers in 1 towns heraabouts are said to have 1 contracts with tho coal companies, SC there is nc immediate danger of their plants being effected by the shortage that prevails-they are being taken care of better than the retail dealers
