Teamster's Life Saved
WRITES LETTER THAT IS WORTH
 READING VERY CAREFULLY

Peterson Bros: I was afflicted with a very severe sore on my leg for years. am a teamster. I tried all medicines and salves, but without success. tried doctors. but they failed to cure from pain. Doctors said I could not live for more than two years Finally Peterson's Ointment was recommended to me and by its uss the sore was en- tirely healed. Thankfully yours, Will jam Haase, West Park, Ohio, Mar. 22, 1915, care F. G. Reitz, Box 199.
 Peterson says: "I am proud of the above letter and have hundreds of others that tell of wonderful cures of Eczema, Piles and Skin Diseases"
 Peterson's Ointment is 25 cents at all druggists, and there isn't a broad minded druggist in America that won't praise it.

HOSPITAL NEEDS INCREASE
 FINANCE APPROPRIATIONS
State Board Created by General As
 senabIy Presents Its First Report.

Hartford. Conn, Jan. 17.-The state board of finance created by the last general assembly to prepare a state budget and to sit with the committee on appropriations made it's first re- port which included estimates of de- f1ciencies to Sept. 30. 1917, and ex- penditures for two years ending Sept. 90, 1919.
 It points out that the deficiencies are $564.912 partly due to increased cost of material and. living expenses, and In some cases obligations which were created by the last general as- seEubly for which no appropriations were made.
 A large increase in appropriations it is pointed out will be necessary for the next two years The estimate is for $17, ,961 which is S4.5S8,574 in excess of the appropriations for the same purposes for the last two fiscal years Additional appropriations. for instance, for the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane and the Norwich state hospital will amount to $t05.35z, with an additional appropriation for main tenance approxiE1ating $10o.000. New construction at the Connecticut refor- matory will call for increased mainte- nance amounting to S20.oo9-
 Some of the recommendations are these: Repeal of the act under which annual appropriations are made to certain hospitals. Amendment to the statutes so that the entire cost for board and fare of patients institutions may be charged to those that are able to pay.
 Consolidation of the epileptic col ony at Mansfield and the Connecticut Training school for the feeble minded.
 Reduction in the basis of the school grant for high school tuition and transportation.

|LADiEst LOOK YOUNG.
 DARkEN GRAY HAIR
recipe and nobody can teIII Brush it through hair.

Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades. turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sul- phur enhances it's appearance a hum
 ired-fold.
 Don't stay gray, Look young. Either prepare the recipe at home or. get from any drug store 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which is merely the old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to- use preparation. because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides no one can possibly tell as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair. taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it's natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous. and you appear years younger.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, niti- gation or prevention of disease.

The number has now mounted up to 15,000, and 1926 points, covering every city and iInpor- tant town in every state. have been req ched. The Week of Mercy" begins January 27. and continues till Feb ruary A.
 The Week of Mercy is a special call to the Jews of America to con- centrate their fund raising over seven days. There are to be services in sy- nagogues, mass meetings (three impor- tant ones having already been arr ranged for Brooklyn. Philadelphia and Pittsburg) and Tag Days
 This idea of a week during which the entire Jewish population of Amer ica should focus their thoughts par- tfculaTly upon their o-religiorlists abroad, "a whole people that is silent ly suffering. dying of starvation. daily growing weaker and weaker has come out of President Wilson's proc lamation of just a year ago. in which he set a day apart for the opening of Jewish hearts and purses towards Suf- fering Jews abroad.

why should it fear libel suit? No decent paper would resort to such trickery.
 The Warren Bros. Co. sets itself up as the champion of contractors who hope to secure paving contracts on merits. In 1913, a few months before the present highway commissioner took office, The Warren Bros. Go. recef-ed from Mr. Mcdonald contracts amouns- ing to about three-quartefs of a mi! lion dollars for Warrenite. No one knew any such enormous amount had been given to this concern until the
 present highway commissioner took office and found the contracts Is this the merit" system that appeals to The Warren Bros. Cor Is this the merit system The Warren Bros Co. exemplified by their success in Bridge port, where large appropriations are handed over to them without compe- stition? We leave it for them to an- swer.
 The newspaper which acts as the publicity agent of the politicians seek ing control of the highway department insists that an investigation of this alleged "slush fund.- of the Good Roads association must be had. "Slush fund.- implies that someone has money to use.
 all bills paid on Jan- l, 1917. we would have had net balance of $76.73 in the treasury. This balance is the "sfush fund.- with which we are to "acceler- ate the passage" of the highway ap- propriation through the legislature
 The Connecticut Good Roads asso- citation, it's officers and directors will welcome an investigation by any com mittee. The deeper the investigation the more welcome. We have absolute ly nothing to conceal. If such an in vestigation is undertaken, and Is com pIeted. the selfish personal interests behind this attack upon the Connecti- Ar. afofs r, vea1ed It will accomplish the very ends we seek to attain and place the truth before the public
 For the benefit of The Warren Bros. Co, and their publicity agents, I will say that no contractor. no paving com pany, and no road material concern is a contributor to the Connecticut Good Roads association

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 IS EARNING DIVIDENDS
No Reason For Raid on Stock and

The New Haven road is earning div l idends, says the New Haven Times Leader.
 The capital of the road is s4eo. 9oo.- 900 and there is only s15o. .ooo. .ooo of stock.
 This is the result of the inventory recently taken by the railroad. and the valuation is a. minimum figure This information was conveyed by Vice President B. G. Buclxland to Stockholder Harry Leigh today in a personal interview at the Yellow building. MT. Buckland pointed out that:
 The New Haven road owes on notes due May first s25. .00o.690. About SS,- 100000 is owed to the New England This will. perhaps, be repudiated if the.

 MT. BucSland declared it preposter- ous to think that the road would go into the hands of a receiver. He re- iterated the need of a two-thir1s stock vote to secure a preferred stock is- sue.
 MT. Leigh wrote Mir Elliott as fol- lows:
 "I am the owner of quite a number of shares of the New York. New Ha- ven road I wish to ask you a few questions. As the stock went down today to S45 per share. consider it the duty of the president of thIs road to tell us, the stockholders. the req son for this raid. What is the pres ent condition of the road? Why this raid on the stock2 Is there any truth to the run1or that it is the best thing to put it into the hands of receiver? 1? Wipe out its different guarantees on stock, etc? Are it's present earnings sufficient to meet all its current ex- penses? Is there any truth in the re- port that the road is misrnanaged to such an extent as to cause great loss in net earnings?
 Why is the road buying new prop erty all the time when it is earning nothing for it's stockholders And also building a new station :? Is tnere to be an issue of preferred stock?
 T would like to have you answer these questions as soon as possible Each day that passes without a word from you to stop the road means terrible strain to many owners of the railroad stock. who invested in it all that they had"
 MT. Elliott wrote in repay, on Jan. IS:
 Your letter of Jan. 10 received here in New York, where I have had to be ail of the week for various conferen- ces-
 The questions you ask can best be answered by a personal interview. shall be glad to see you if you are go- ing to be in New York next week, or MT. Buckland, our vice president, who will be in New Haven one or two days next week, will be very glad to ex- plain the whole situation to you in great detail"
 Mr. Buckfand discussed. the situa- ton with MT. Leigh with the utmost rankness and what he said will be great relief to stockholders of the road.

The Reunion.

A move is on foot to hold the annual reunion of the John G. Fletcher Camp at this place the last week in July in order that our soldier boys may be in attendance.
 Our boys expect to be called away from Harrison about the 9th of August, so, for the courtesy desired to be ex- tended to them, the people of Green Forest will have to get busy and go about getting permission from the right source to place the date on much earlier time than the reunion has heretofore been held.
 There is no reason why we should not have one of the greatest meetings of this kind ever held. Everybody get busy and begin to plan on how you would like to see the reunion conducted this year.
 While every fiber of our whole being is filled with enthusiasm more oppor- tune time for the greatest meeting ever held could not be found and we hope no time or means will be spared in doing our best to make this a great meeting for the ve terans of the Lost Cause"
 At each successive reunion many changes are to be noted in these who have seen and experienced hardships on many battle fields. Their heads grow more frosty as the winters pass, Father Time adds new wrinkles to their cheeks, their steps become more tottering, and their voices more husky. These things make us know that, true to nature, they can enjoy but few more of the time honored reunions that have, for them, meaning that cannot be ap- preciated by any other than they. In fact, there are but few of them who shall respond to the next roll call. The far greater number of them are already answering the roll call over there. Who knows? Their passing may be the beginning for our boys who are leaving home and friends today? Let's make this the greatest of all reunions.
