Prison Reform
Much interest centered in the
report of Mrs. E. B. Rosa, state
chairman of the work of Prison
Reform, since this is new depart
ment in club work in Delaware.
Mrs. Rosa gave an excellent talk
on the subject, and urged the i'm
portance of careful selection in
the appointment of prison super
intendents, declaring they should
first of all be educators.
Mr.. Thomas Mott Osbourne,
Warden of Sing Sing Prison, and
an authority on methods of work
among the prisoners, was the chief
speaker of the afternoon. Mr.. Os-
bourne won his audience with the
opening sentences of his talk, and
held the close attention of his
hearers, for over two hours,
to a serious consideration of the
subject A full account of the
lecture will be given in next
weeks issue.
At 4.45 o'clock the visitors were
taken in automobiles to visit the

Millions of bottles of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe are sold annually, says a well-known druggist here. because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenely that no one can tell it has been applied,
 Those whose hair is turning gray, becoming faded, dry, scraggly and thin have a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beauti- ful-all dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling hair stops.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't want ed around, so get busy with Wyeth.s Sage and Sulphur tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark. hand some hair and your youthful appear ance within a few days.

tion would cost $2O0 and the select men inserted an appropriation for that amount in the call of the last town meeting. That meeting voted the necessary amount.
 Selectman Gibney called at the con- cern's office on Saturday of last week for the purpose of becoming familiar with the system and to close the con- tract. At that time Frank w. Tay- Tor of the Eaton company told him that it would cost nearer $4OO. Mr. Gibney reported the matter to the finance board and the question was considered last night. It was decided to have another conference with the Springfield concern before having the new system. The board feels $200 is enough and will award the contract to some other concern if the Eaton company does not care to do it for that money.

Kidney and Bladder Trouble
 Causes Great Distress

1t gives me great pleasure to rec ommend pr. Kilmers Swamp-root to any one suffering. from bladder trouble.
 For four years I was troubled by hemorrhages from the bladder and was not able to get any doctor who could help me. I was in such shape that sleep at night was impossible on account of distressing symptoms While bending over I would be strick- en with such a pain that it was inn possible for me to straighten up. Mir. Henry, one of our leading druggists. advised Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root; although I never had any faith in pa tent medicines, as last resort purchased a dollar bottle of Swamp Root. I noticed decided change and after using two bottles I was com pletely cured. It seemed remarkable that I should be cured so quickly af- ter being i'll so long. But since this took place nearly two yearsS ago, I have never been troubled and would highly advise any one suffering from the same trouble to at least give Swamp-Root a trial and I think the results will be the same as mine.
 Yours very truly.
 THOMAS A. BENNETT.
 Greensburg, Indiana. Personally appeared before me this 14th day of February, 1913, MT. T. A. Bennett, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the same is true in substance and in fact.
