Street Commissioner Estey had the
sidewalk plows out early Thursday
morning cleaning the snow which fell
the night before from the walks and
also getting rid of some of the slush
that had accumulated there. The street
crews are busy keeping the catch ba-
sins open, seeing that the cutters are
in condition to take care of the water
and digging drains so that where the
snow melts on the walks it can run
off into the cutters without making
small ponds on the walks. Some of the
sidewalks are commencing to show
through the snow and a few days OF
warm weather will clean them UP rap
idly Mr. Estey is giving these things
his personal attention and is endeavor-
ing to get the walks and streets in the
best possible condition for the spring
so that when the rains do come they
will cause as little inconvenience and
damage as possible.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur
Turns Gray, Faded
Hair Dark and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays We simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui :
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle Of this old time recipe improved
by the addition Of other ingredients
for about SO cents. Everybody uses
this preparation nov. because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by morning the
gray hair disappears. and after anoth-
err APPLICATION or two. your hair be-
comes beautifully dark. thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure. mitigation
or prevention Of disease.-Adv.

raging at Lambs Corner. 1t proved
to be a barn on a place owned by Mrs.
Lena York. The building was destroyed

the neighbors prevented the fire
spreading to the house. A hen house
and a number of hens were burned but
