had under consideration today re-
ports that submarines. presumably
German, were operating OFF the Maine
coact. The reports we're regarded
with some doubt, nevertheless. we're
being looked into.
Apparently, It reached the State
Department first in the form of a
suspicion expressed by summer resi-
dents of Upper Penobscot Bay that
Germany had a submarine base in
that vicinity. Secretary Daniels of
the Navy Department said there was
no doubt submarines can cross the
Atlantic. There was nothing Off
cially before him but it was known
that naval officers had received a
hint to keep the matter in mind and
report promptly any evidences of the
reports truth.
In naval circles Il was said it had
been believed for some time that Ger
many planned establishing sub
marine base in American waters, but
that officers did not believe it had
done so yet. It was also their opinion
that the Caribbean rather than the
North Atlantic was the zone the
Kaiser had in view.
II was to the justice and commerce
departments that the state depart
ment referred the rumors it had re-
ceived. This was because the two
first named have machinery for in
vestigating such matters, while the
latter has none. They had as yet
made no reports.
The matter was automatically up to
the treasury department inasmuch 'as
this government branch is charged
with the duty OF maintaining neutral
ity and, through the revenue cutter
service is equipped for doing It. It's
information was not considered tan
gible enough to be very seriously re-
garded, but a sharp lookout was being
kent. nevertheless.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-In a cab

IF HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old. Try Grandmother's Recipe to DarlSen and Beautify
 Faded, Lifeless, Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just an ap- plication or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances it's appearance hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thickness and lustre of your hair and remove dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeths" Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another ap- plication 1t becomes beautifully dark ana appears glossy, lustrous ana abundant.

Application Here.


 Let us consider for a few moments how the system of this kind can be applied in New Britain. There are today in New Britain, among the pro- vision and grocery dealers, about sev- enty teams used in delivering goods. On the basis and averages in other cities this work can be done through a delivery system such as I have de- scribed with from 35 to 40 teams at the outside and a delivery to every house In the city can be made four times in each day. This everyone will admit is much better service than the citizens of New Britain are now get ting. The same team would be able to deliver at the same time in addi- tion to groceries and provisions such other merchandise of reasona ble bulk as the custome might have ordered.
 The delivery from all the stores would be made at the same time and by the same team. Our investigations have shown that using the figures supplied by number of the provi- sion dealers of New Britain, their de- livery expenses is about from five to seven per cent of their gross busi- ness and I am inclined to believe that when everything is considerd the average would be well up to seven per cent.
 Could Save S25,OOO.
 As l quoted before with the central system these figures could be reduced to two and one-half per cent. This would result at the lowest conserva- tive figure in deliveries already being made in New Britain today a saving of at least $25, 900 per year and a ser vice which is many times superior to the service now rendered.

LITTLE BOY
 WEAK AND s|CKLY
Mother Tells How Her Little Son Was Made a Strong, Healthy Boy by VinoI After a Severe Sickness.
a severe SICkneSS.

New York City," About five years ago my little boy, then seven years old, was very ill with gastritis, then he con- tracted measles from the other children, pneumonia soon followed, and there seemed no hope of saving his life. How ever, we fought off the disease and he recovered, but was in a very weak and delicate condition.
 "The doctor prescribed cod liver oil, but his little stomach swelled up like a drum, and the doctor said there was no cure for him. I decided to try Vinol, as I had used it myself with splendid results, and it seemed to agree with him. That bloated condition soon disappeared, and now he is strong, healthy boy, thanks to Vinol. "- Mrs. THOMAS FITz- GERALD, 1090 Park Ave, NewYork City.
 In all cases where the healing, cura. tive, tissue building influence of cod liver oil, or the strength h-creating, blood making properties of tonic iron are needed, Vinol gives immediate benefit, for it is easily assimilated and accepta- ble to the weakest stomach, because it contains no oil or grease, and tastes delicious.
