Comb Sage Tea in Lifcless,

If Mixed With Sulphur 1t Darkcns So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell,

Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and abun- dant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use. for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended Upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobod V can tell 1t has been applied-it's sr, easy to use, too. You simply damn en a comb or soft brush and draw ii through your hair, taking one strand at time.

 Mr. Hall, who received instructions as to what street work is to be taken up immediately.
 Street Work Mapped Out
 The new engineer was instructed to start as early as possible macadamiz- ing Olive street. Willow and West streets will be attended to next. MT. Downes believed that all connections should be put in by property owners on 8 street before that street is paved. Mayor Quigley expressed the opinion that the street should be skipped un- less the property owners did attend to the connections City Engineer Hall recommended that the depart ment employ an inspector to attend to the refilling after pipes are laid and also to new sidewalk work. Chair man Humphrey suggested that Coun- ciiman T. J. Coyle had done very eff fcient inspection work for the sewer department.
 Under the head of new grading work the city engineer was instructed to grade Lincoln street from Corbin avenue to Hart street at a cost of $1,250. It was also decided to grade Hart street from Vine street to Cor bin avenue and also to grade Steele street as soon as the department can get around to that task.

 |FORNfR GOES DOWN FIGHTING
Votes Against Declaring the Office
 K of City Engineer sVacant.-Hall
 Chosen Head of All Constructive
 Works and Humphrey President.

The beheading program of the .new administration went merrily on lat the meeting of the board of pub |1ic works last night when President i1ohn F. Moore was deposed from the |chairmanship and City Engineer Frank H. Oldershaw felt the axe de- |scend on his neck. B. N. Humphrey was elected president to succeed MT. Moore and William H.. Hall was elect ed to succeed MT. Oldershaw. Harry. A Emmett was unanimously re-elect- nd clerk of the board, 8 fact which spoke we'll of his success in that po- Ation. Mayor Quigley was present at the meeting.
 Mir. Moore when he saw the ship sinking under his feet after the cannonading of the opposition ran .his colors up to the peak and went dcwn with flags flying. He was all by Himself but what little voice he had went to objecting to the board de- claring the. office of city engineer va cant. He voted against any such ac- kion and expressed the opinion that some reason should be advanced why Mr. Oldershaw should be ushered out Df office. None was given but the board voted in favor of declaring the DfIice vacant in order to be in accord with the plans of Mayor George A. Quigley, believing that as it was his Administration he should be given co-operation, his to be the blame and he praise.
 When the board decided to re-or- gAnize Commissioner John E. Downes Nominated Commissioner Humphrey
 fr chairman and the motion was sec- nnded by Commissioner John Ander son. MT Humphrey was elected with bat dissenting vote. Mir. Emmett was nominated for clerk by Mr. An derson and the nomination was sec- Dnded by Commissioner John Kelly. There was no opposition.
 As pointed out in the Herald edi- korial columns last night 1t was neces- Bary to declare the office of city engi- neer vacant before anyone other than MT. Oldershaw could be chosen to that position. MT. Downes made the motion that the board declare the of- hce vacant. MT, Moore wanted to know the reason for the motion. MT. Downes explained that the charter says the city engineer shall be elect "a by the board and shall hold office Turing the pleasure of the board. In order to elect successor to MT. Old-

ershaw it would be necessary to ere ate vacancy he said.
 There can be no harm in doing it. anyway" remarked Chairman Humphrey.
 The matter was put to a vote, MT. Moore voting mo-
 DOnlan NOminates Hall.
 The next matter of business was to elect MT. Oldershaw's successor. Com- missioner Thomas D. Donlan, the new member of the board, looked at MT. Anderson. The latter nodded and Mr. Donlan nominated MT. Hall for city engineer. The nomination was sec onded by MT. Downes.
 In explaining the nomination MT. Donlan said that MT. Hall was the choice of Mayor Quigley and the ad- ministration should be given any CO., operation possible.
 1T don't want to have my remarks considered as being in opposition to MT. Hall." said MT. Kelly. "But as ] understand it the duties of the city engineer are to be greatly increased. The work of this board is bound to create criticism. It has in the past in
New Britain herald., 1914-05-06

other cities as we'll as in New Brit ain. The presidents of this board have come in for great amount of criticism no matter how painstaking they might have been. I think it is almost too much for one man to ham, de the work that has been done by the city engineer and the president of the board as well.
 T am not opposed to MT. Hall, but I owe 1t to myself to make this state ment. I have been on this board for six years and I have heard great deal of criticism, much of which has been unjust Most all cities have the. same experience. The point I wish to emphasize is just this. criti- cism falls on the head of the depart ment and I question whether it will be wise to place additional responsi- bility on that head
 We have no option in the matter, v said MT. Downes. 'The common coun- cil has passed an ordinance stating what the duties of the city engineer shall be. I'm sure I don't know a more capable or efficient man than Mir. Hall."
 1T am not antagonistic to MT. Hall or to any administration policy but I just wish to state my stand" re- piled MT. Kelly.
 CO-Operate With Mayor.
 "The office has been declared va cant and must be filled," said MT. Donlan. Mayor Quigley thinks we'll of MT. Hall and if he has confidence in him I think he should be chosen I would not say anything against the other gentleman, but I think it bnly fair to appoint the man the mayor has selected"
 'In addition to that he should have something to say as to who will be his assistants and he should have the support of this board. said Chairman Humphrey.
 T never heard any criticism of Mr. Oldershaw and it seems to me that we should have some reason for his re- moval," said MT. Moore.
 That is not necessary" replied Chairman Humphrey. When the previous administration went into power it had it's policy which was carried out. The present adminis- tration also has it's policy"
 The selection of MT. Hall having been disposed of Chairman Hum Dhrey suggested that the matter of choosing his assistants, the assistant engineer, the superintendent of sewers and the superintendent of 5streets, be laid over until the next meeting. The suggestion was followed out.
 At this Mayor Quigley left the room and returned q short time later with

The crucial meeting had left the Fed

The circuit had stood the test imposed
by Charles Weeghman and M. Walk

will was considered essential, and the
league president declared the position
of the organization was good enough
now to satisfy anybody.
The forces Of organized baseball who
held secret meeting here yesterday
declined to give out anything that
took place at it.
