HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
A Simple Remedy Cures Dsndruff and
 Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see so many people with thin, wispy hair, faded or streaked with gray, and realize that most Of these people might have soft, glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color and lustre if they would but use the proper treatment. There is no neces- sity for gray hair under 60 years of age, and there is no excuse for any one. young or old having thin. strag gling hair. either full of dandruff Or heavy and rank smelling with ex- cessive oil
 You can bring back the natural color of your hair in few days and forever rid yourself of any dandrun and loose hairs, and make your hair grow strong and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gen. eratons common garden Sage has been used for restoring and preserving the color the hair; and Sulphur is reconized by Scalp Specialists as be- ing excellent for treatment of hair and scalp troubles.
 if you are troubled with dandrug or itching scalp. or if your hair is los- ing its color or coming out get a fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and SaI- phur from your druggist. and notiaa the improvement in the appearance o1 your hair after a few days treatmeut

PATROL OF MAIN STREET
Desired by Some, Opposed by Others
 Not Benefited.


 In the warning for the annual bor ough meeting is a clause ito see what action the borough will take in regard to furnishing police patrol of Main street between the Congregational church and the northerly borough line, between the hours of o'clock and 12 o'clock p. m" To voters who eX- pressed an opinion on the matter Sat urday this r. position appears like an effort to secure a special favor in the way of police protection.
 As against the request for this spe- cial protection it is pointed out that not even the business section of Dan ielson is pOliced at the expense of the borough, excepting on Saturday nights and Sundays. and that as far as an all night policing of the business section is concerned, if it can be considered as police protection at all, the total eX- pense of it, this being in paying a soli- tary Watchman who is not an officer, is met by the business men, who con tribute a certain amount each week.
 This being true. there are many voters who cannot quite see their way clear to a vote to meet the expense of police protection six hours each night to certain well lighted section Of the town that is as safe or more safe to travel in at any time of the day or night as is any other section of Dan ielson, no part of which has such pro tection as is sought
 Those who oppose the plan do so principally on the theory that it would not be as equitable and fair to ask all of the voters of the borough to assist | in paying for street lights for those living on certain streets, while the streets others lived on might have to go along without them. or to request an exclusive sewer service or the ad- vantage of any other public utility for the benefit of few at an expense to all. Broad street or Maple street or Franklin or Furnace street, it is held, is as fully entitled to police protection. II any is to be given, as is the section of Main street. purely residential, that i seeks it.

MONUMENT AT AUCTION.
White Elephant on the Hands of Rail
 road Claim Agent Who Bid s10

There was an auction sale of unac- cepted goods at the freight station of the New Haven road here Saturday morning. Two wagons were sold for a total of S14. The interest of the 90 or more persons that gathered how ever, was centered in what was to have been the sale of a granite monu- ment, lettered with the inscriptions wanted by the family that ordered 1t about four years ago. In transit from Barre, Vt, the car carrying the monu- ment went astray, reaching as far south as Texas before 1t finally reached Danielson. When it did get here, clipped and otherwise damaged, the consignee would not accept 1t. Hence the sale.
 The crowd at the sale must have 1 looked like buyers with ready money to the roads claim agent, for he made an opening bid of $10 for the monument This proved to be such & strong opener that no other bids were received SC the granite pieces are to be shipped to West Quincy and again offered for sale by the railroad on Wednesday of this week, The original value Of tho monument is said to have been from S12b to S15n.
