The Plainest Girl
Can Be Good-Looking

There is economy in good looks.
1t pays every girl to be good-looking
and every woman owes it to herself
to be as attractive as possible.
It is unfortunate that all women
are not born beautiful, but nearly all
can acquire good looks. The plain
girl not only must use care in the
selection Of her clothes, but give
especial attention to her hair-thin,
wispy, dull and faded locks will des-
troy half the beauty of even a pretty
face.
If your hair is not beautiful lack
ing that enviable softness, lustre and
fuffiness, or is falling out, full of dan
druff, too dry, by all means use
Partisan Sage, an inexpensive liquid
tonic. easily obtained at any drug
counter or from Lee and Osgood.
Simply rub Partisan Sage well into
the scalp. It will go right to the hair
roots, nourish them, and stimulate
the hair to grow strong and luxuri-
ant. 1t removes all dandruff, thor
oughly cleanses the hair of dust and
excess oil, and makes it appear twice
as abundant.
Partisan Sage is a scientific tonic
that gives the hair just what is need
ed to make it fluffy, soft and glori-
ously radiant; and pretty hair will
surely increase the charm and beauty
of even the plainest girl.

HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
MUST REDUCE FORCE
Smaller Appropriation Makes This
Necessary-Sixty or Seventy to Go.

Owing to a reduction of $4,000. 900
in the highway department appropri-
alton by the late general assembly,
Highway Commissioner Charles J.
Bennett will be obliged to reduce the
number of the employees of his depart
ment by sixty or seventy. The ser
will be dispensed with and forty in
spectors will be dropped from the pay
roll. The reduction will not go into
effect at once, although some of the
employees affected have already notified
the commissioner of their intention to
retire in July. The commissioner has
enough money to continue the present
work of construction until the close
of this fiscal year, September 30.
The law which passed in the last
days of the session. in relation to the
construction of bridges over highways
by the commissioner in cooperation
with local authorities, will enable the
commissioner to retain some engineers,
for whom otherwise he could not find
employment.
OF course. there will be considerable
repair work on the highways and on
bridges, but no road construction ex-
cept what may be done through sheer
necessity in the way of making over
and which, perhaps, could not be tech
nically considered repairing.
Towns throughout the state are like
ly to feel the effect of the reduction
in the appropriations for the improve
ment of the highways because it prac-
tically means suspension of the pol
icy inaugurated some years ago of
constructing improved roads in Con-
necticut

HAD POCKET BOOK
FULL OF PHONY MONEY.
Lizzie Maoney From State Hospital
Appeared at New London Railroad
Station.

fI want a ticket to Worcester" said
Lizzie Ma1oney, 80, as she showed
$500 through the window in the ticket
office of the Union station in New
London on Wednesday night. A
glance at the bills assured the ticket
agent that they were phony He at
once telephined for a policeman and
the woman was placed under arrest
At the police station it was discovered
that she had $4517 in bills on her per-
son but only SIT was real money. The
woman had raised two 81 bills to
$1,000 bills, one 50 bill to $1,000 and a
IS to $500, but the work was so
crudely executed that the phony bills
would not pass muster in the eyes of
a child.
Michael Malone, an employee at the
Norwich State hospital who happened
to be in New London Wednesday ev-
ening was called to police headquart-
ers, as the woman claimed to have
been employed at the hospital and he
identified her as Lizzie Maloney. DR..
Pollock was notified of the woman's
detention and he went to New Lon
don and took her back to the institu-
ton in his automobile. The woman
had with her five small purses in a
leather handbag in which she carried
her wealth along with numerous tri-
f1es such as bits of paper. and other
things She told the police that she
had a right to make money as she was
treasurer of the United States.
