Under the efficient methods en-
pioyed by James j. Molloy, contractor
in charge of the remodeling of the
Post Office and additions in Federal
Square, the work is going along
smoothly, and the prospects are that

The work is necessarily slowed up
by reason of the fact that brick and
granite samples must be sent from
practically every quarry in the United
States in order to make sure that the
present material will be matched as
closely as it is possible to match it.
The contractor is trying to give the
local dealers and subcontratcors the
preference. all things being equal, and
"a special attempt is being made to
avoid discommoding the people in the
offices above. The force now working
will be increased from time to time as
the orders for materials are filled.
The present force has been on the job
since the arrival of Contractor Molloy
in the middle of November.

nobody can discover it has been ap-
piled. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
