Maine People Writing Senator
Burleigh Concerning the Pom
creme Amendment to the
Army Bill-Prospective ''Pre-
paredness" for Maine

Washington, D. c.. April 26 Especially
A final settlement has been effected
at the Postoff1ce Department about
schedules on rural free delivery routes
IN kennebec county. These are being
operated this week in compliance with
request made here some time ago by
Senator Burleigh. The change was
made after there had been careful in
vestigation and indicates that patrons
on these rural routes will hereafter be
consulted in such matters.
The letter to Senator Burleigh an
nouncing the Departments decision
sets the case forth quite fully and will
probably be of considerable interest in
Maine outside Of the routes immedi.
ately affected. It reads:
Dear Senator Burleigh: In
further reference to the proposed
restoration Of the schedule of the
carriers on the rural routes from
Augusta and Winthrop Maine. an
operated prior to February %, 1916,
when they left the postoff1ce at IT'S

edging your letter Of the 18th in
slant, with which you transmit a
petition from Charles F. Smith and
&,
throp, urging favorable action In
the matter, I beg to state that in
view of certain further represen-
tations made to this Bureau it has
been decided to restore the sched-
ule of the carriers on these routes.
the change to take effect on April
"A. 1916. The schedule on the
routes from Gardiner and Auburn
hoc ole
Grafton will be given the question
of restoring the former schedule
on routes from all offices affected
by the recent change as soon as it
is shown that a majority of the
families concerned desire the
earlier delivery.
Sincerely yours,

Fourth Assist. Postmaster Cen"
The Pomerene Amendment
Senator Burleigh is receiving many
letters from Maine with reference to
the Pomerene amendment to the army
bill, which proposes to confer COM
mensurate rank on army dentists. This
amendment has been adopted in the
Senate but it's fate now depends upon
the action of the House. The Army
bill goes into conference and a great
number of provisions thereon are in
dispute and will not be settled till the
bill is finally rewritten and the agree
ment ratified by the Senate and the
House.
One of the Maine petitions received
and presented by Senator Burleigh Is
from the Penobscot Valley Dental Club,
composed Of dentists of Bangor and vi
entity. The Pomerene amendment
passed the Senate without the formali-
ty Of a roll cali. some days before the
bill itself was passed. The text Of
this amendment, as now in the army
bill, reads:
1.-The President is hereby author
lied to appoint and commission.

Of the Senate, dental surgeons at

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-

this old-time recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use, for about 30 cents This simple
mixture can be depended upon to re
store natural celor and beauty to the
hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth IS Sage and

ems so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied-it's sc
easy to use, too. You simply dampen
a comb or soft brush and draw it through
your hair, taking one strand at time
BY morning the gray hair disappears
