Sand Bank Nearly Causes Accident

The advisability of tearing down the sand bank that stands on the corner of what is known as sanitarium cross ing, South Windham, was again shown Thursday afternoon when two automobiles and a trolley car almost came together at this point. The trolley was going in a southerly di- rection as well as one of the machines, the other was coming up the hill at a fair rate of speed but managed to stop before it got onto the track in front of the car. The machine that was going in the same direction as the car came to a stop but the driver did not see the other machine as the troll ley obstructed his view. When the trolley pulled out of the way both ma chimes and drivers started at the same time and in so doing nearly colIided. Both drivers of the machines stated that the sand bank should be removed so that the view around the corner would not be obstructed.

The PLAPAO-PADS are entirely diff ferent from the article commercially known as a truss. In fact, they are designed to do away with bands of steel and rubber that chafe and pinch Their remarkable success is due to the principle of keeping constantly applied the scientifically compounded absorb ent-astringent medication called PLA- PAO. The purpose is to contract and strengthen. the. weakened abdominal muscles, thus closing the hernial opening as nature intended so the rup- ture CAN'T come down.
 Being self adhesive, and when ad- herring closely to the body slipping or shifting is impossible, therefore they are an important adjunct in retaining rupture that cannot be held by 8 truss

Results in Defeat of Freshmen and Ducking for Some Members of the Class.

held at storrs college Tuesday resulted in a free for all scramble before it was finished. The event which is held across a pond, resulted in a victory for the second year men, in as much as they pulled the freshmen into the pond. But at this stage of the pro- ceedings there came a misunderstood ing. The younger classmen admitting their defeat went to the sophomore side of the pond and started to cheer the victors. The latter not understand ing the well meant act endeavored to push the freshmen back into the pond, but met with strong opposition and in some cases a severe ducking.
 The upper class has since apo1ogized for their rash act and have been for given by the new corners.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 OARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, ifeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lusGre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has heen applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff. stops scalp itching and fall ing hair You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears but what de- lights the ladies wph Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- Oearance of abundance-Advertis ment.
