similar authority may be given 10 many private enterprises of repute.
 Large employers of labor have signified their intention of urging their employees who can, to invest in the bonds. hi some instances fraternal organizations have decided to use their machinery as clearing houses for subscriptions of mem bers. Offers have been received from travelling men who want to do their bit toward helping by selling the bonds as & side line.
 Indications are that the big issue may be offered to the public by June l, and that the interim will be devoted largely to advertising. Should one suggestion be- fore the department be adopted, as seems likely, subscribers will be given 30 days in which to make final payments. This would make the proceeds available for the government about July 1.

McAdOO Decides on Nation Wide Advertising Cam paign to Raise Five Bill
 lions in Short Time

Washington, April P. A nationwide advertising campaign of extraordinary proportions has been decid- ed upon by Secretary Me Adoo as the most effective means of disposing quickly of the S5,000,00O,000 bond is- sue soon to be offered to the public.
 So many patriotic offers of aid have poured into the treasury depart ment recently that practically every method of publicity in the country will be at the governments disposal, without charge in helping to make the issue success.
 Newspapers, magazines, street car ad- vertisements, even the billboards soon may be proclaiming the issue in big type and summoning every American to do his duty to his country by subscribing. Large advertising agencies have offered their services, free of cost, in writing the ad- vertisements and otherwise assisting in the campaign.
 NEWSPAPERS PATRIOTIC
 Many newspapers have opened their ad- vertising columns, without charge. Off cials have welcomed such offers and ex- pect others. There will be no general campaign of paid advertising, it was said authoritatively tonight nor the incurrence of any items of expense whatever that are not absolutely essential, the adminis- trations desire being that the issue may be placed at the least possible cost.
 FIVE MILLIONS FOR EXPENSE
 Five million dollars will be available for all items of expense. A force of ap- proximately 1000 persons will be added to the bureau of engraving and printing, ai- ready working night and day to meet the present heavy demands of the govern ment, and at least 200 clerks will be em- ployed in the clerical work incidental to the big bond issue. This force will be oD- tained through the civil service.
 Offers of assistance have been received from many unexpected sources Depart ment stores have offered not only to ac- cept subscriptions but to solicit them and in some cases, to make subscriptions easier for their customers by buying bonds outright and accepting install ment payments for them. Express com panies have offered the service of their money order departments free. Chains of stores dealing in various commodities have asked if they might not be author ized to receive subscriptions.
 Patriotic societies, civic organizations, fraternities and hundreds of individuals have urged the department to permit them to conduct an active selling cam- paisn. The chief burden of distribution will devolve upon the banks, and it is likely that all financial institutions with good standing which apply will be au- thorized to receive subscriptions.

At J Cloch saturday morning, the party arrived at the little frontier town of Vanceboro.
 To these modest surroundings, the spe- cial train which had gone on to McAdam, returned two hours later, bearing Eng lands eminent statesmen. As it drew across the bridge into the station, As- sistant Secretary Long, General Wood, Admiral Fletcher and others mounted the rear of the observation car and disap- peared inside to welcome the commission formally to American soil.
 In less than 10 minutes the train was under way for the capital with the vari- ous British and American officials set ting down to simple and informal talks, which continued the long journey

 PREDICTION OF BALFOUR
 Even in the few hours we have been in the United States" MT. Balfour said. I've have been struck with the atmos- phere of calm and peacefulness which naturally prevails The United States ence the human losses that France for so long and ourselves during the past months have experienced.
 Nevertheless, I doubt if you can fore see what fundamental changes the war will bring into your ordinary life. We ln England look back with amazement at the vital changes during our past 30 months of mobilization and imagine that many of the changes we have gone through so salutary even for themselves alone, will be repeated here'

SAGE TEA BEAl|IIFIES
 AND DARKEHS HAIR
DON'T STAY GRAY! TT DARkENS so NATURALLY THAT MO-
 BODY CAN TELL

You can turn gray. faded hair beau .ifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'1l get q o0-cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition Of other ingredients, are sold annually says a known druggist here, be- cause it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have a surprise await ing them, because after one or two applications fhe gray hair vanishes and your locks become iuXuriartly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't wante around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful ap- pearance within a few days.
 This preparation is a toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease.

dancing and it is hoped that the school where the people of the town may meet for Instruction and entertain
 rent.
 Reference was made to the need of q new building at the Center in the report last year. Provision has been made whereby the funds of the first school society may be used toward the erection of new building. It is desired that the town take action as soon as it is feasible.
 Apparently there is need of estab fishing an evening school for teaching English and other subjects to a part of the adult population.
 In the near future provision should be made for the careful inspection Of the eyes, throat, nose, ears, teeth and scalp of all school children. De- fccts in posture should be noted and tions be suggested. It has been found that over fifty per cent. of school chill dren have some degree of dental diff eased tonsils and twelve per cent. inn paired hearing, while thirty per cent. have diseases associated with the or sans of hearing. F'orty-si per cent. have defects of the eyes, some of these being of a minor character. That SO large a per cent. of children present physical defects of such gravity as to specialized medical and sur gical attention is an evidence of the need of medical inspection of school children. A helpful follow-up system

is made possible in those communities which provide a district nurse. Often the leading life insurance company operating in a town assists the visit ing nurse association in providing a district nurse to work in cooperation with the school department.
 Advocate Dental Clinic.
 A dental clinic or some other means Of systematically providing for the care of the teeth of school children cannot be too strongly advocated.
 The subject of the nutrition of the school children in its relation to the progress of the children in their school work very often is not given the at tention by parents and school officers that it demands. Investigation shows that some children have no breakfast at all before coming to school or one that is insufficient for their needs importance Of providing their chill dren with a substantial breakfast be- fore proceeding to school. Noon day lunches of many children should be improved in nourishing qualities These topics might well be made the subject for discussion at the proposed meetings mentioned above in this re- port.
 I wish to call the attention of the parents of the grammar and high school girls to the fact that Montville is not supplying it's quota of trained teachers. During the past seven years three beginners have been required yearly. During this time only five Montville young women have been trained for teaching. In other words
