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

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, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, im- proved by the addition of other in gradients, at a small cost.
 Don't stay gray Try it.! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it naturally and evenly. You 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, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease

Berlin News DR. GRISW0LD HIT
 AT TOWN MEETING Berlin Voters Refuse to Accept . Health Officers Report TO INVESTIGATE CLAIMS
Take Whack at filling and Roads Cowles Defends School Board-To Have Honor Roll BOard-Insane Woman Wanders About.

Have Honor Roll BOafd-1nSane
 Woman Wanders About.
 Led by H. H. Spooner, Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, Major Frank l.. l. filling the voters of the town of Berlin indignantly arose in a body at the annual business meeting last evening, and refused to accept the re- port of Dr. Roger M. Griswold as health officer for the past year. An explanation, and even an apology, was demanded by some voters for statements made in his report, which the citizens allege are derogatory to the good reputation and welfare of the community. The methods em- ployed by Dr. Griswold in running his and his absence at last evenings meeting came in for con- siderable criticism.
 The meeting was an unusually quiet one for the town of Berlin, un- til the report of Dr. Griswold was reached. The discussion was opened by H. H. Spooner, who took exception to the last two statements in Dr. .Griswold's report in which the latter
 
 lack of system, in all lines of sanitary work in the town of Berlin, is so un- satisfactory and the provision made for the payment of such work is so inadequate, that I am rendering my resignation to the county health of ficer No honest and self respecting physician can afford to give his time and strength to such work, under con- ditions as they now exist MT. Spooner believed that is unsanitary conditions existed 1t was up to the health officer to remedy them or else suggest methods whereby the con- ditions could be improved.
 Colonel Jarvis agreed with Mir. spooner saying that if the health of the people of Berlin was being jeo- pardized it was up to the people to know about 1t. Dr. Griswold's report was unsatisfactory, he said, since it only mentioned that such conditions existed and no facts were given to substantiate the claim.
 Judge filling made 8 direct attack on pr. Griswold. saying that the health officer should have attended the meeting and defended his report instead of making an offensive ac- counting and then remaing at home ."The governing rules on record of the town say that if any of the health rules are at fault 1t his duty to come before the committee and remedy the evils" declared Judge filling.
 Major Frank R. Wilcox brought the discussion to a head when he pre- rented a resolution that the se1ectman consult with Dr. Griswold and ascer- ton what the unsanitary conditions of the town were and report at the next town meeting.
 This was accepted without a dis

not three roads that needed repairing.
 Every road in the town needs re- pairing" he retorted c. w. Stevens argued that it would
 be a useless expenditure of money to have Pennington road repaired at this time. He declared that the state ought to make it into trunk line, as it is one of the heaviest travelled roads in the state. This could be accomplished, he said. by instructing the next repre- sentative to bring this before the leg islature.
 Want More Lights.
 The light situation also brought forth some lively arguments. Nothing was accomplished after considerable discussion. The debate, how ever, was marked by a flow of eloquence from
 George w. Sullivan of Kensngton in
 which he declared that Berlin is the most backward town in the state in this respect. Theodore Savage of East
 Berlin took a whack at Judge filling in the discussion when he declared that he would rather have some good roads than a number of lights" This brought forth considerable ap- plause.
 Honor Roll Board For Soldiers.
 On motion of c. w. Stevens, chair man of the local council of defense 1t was voted to appropriate $2oo and
 erect a large honor roll board on the
 lawn in front of the Town hall. The
 names of all the young men from Ber-
 lin who are now in the service of
 Uncle Sam will be enrolled and placed
 on the board. The money is to be
 taken from the emergency fund which
 is provided for in the annual budget. Mildrum and F1tzsimons Elected. B. w. Mildrum and James J. Fitz- simons were unanimously reelected mem bers of the finance board. Both
 were nominated by their respective parties at the caucuses several weeks :, ago.
 A private way belonging to the Edward Robbins estate and running between Pennington road and Lang do Lane was accepted as public highway.
 The meeting was adjourned until the second Monday in March after 1t was voted to authorize the select
 men to make temporary loans not to
 exceed $2o.000 to pay the expenses OI the LOWu when the D1llS come que and there are not sufficient funds in the treasury. x Old Peoples Day. "Old Peoples Day. was celebrated at the Kensington Methodist church yesterday afternoon with a large at tendance of parishioners and guests. The program was in charge of the Epworth league.
 The following program was carried out:

 office to Observe Columbus Day. the town may be members of the final 5 per cent. of the quota for the district which leaves about the last of October is probable. This morning at the postoff1ce letters of acceptance into the National Army were received by benedicts, some of whom were re- gently married while others have been married several years.
 Those who received letters are: John Ahlquist, Frank Dickerson, James McCusker, George Seymour, John Skinner and John Smith. Smith is the only one unmarried. Ahlquist, who is florist entered the ranks of the married men on registration day, June 5, and at the time of ex- animation put in claim of exemp- tion on the grounds of dependents. as did the others who received the notifications. Dickerson Is now liv- ing in New York state and the letter addressed to him has been forwarded to his present address,
 Clerk Benjamin I. Miller of the local board stated yesterday that the quota for the district is incomplete. However, owing to the fact that there are more men now at the cantonment at Aver than can be properly cared for 1t may be some time before the last and final offering from Plainville receives orders to report. At present the government is making arrange ments to accommodate the men who will have to report with the last fif- teen per cent.
 As soon as the claims have been acted upon by the local board a list of those who will have to leave with the final fifteen per cent. will be an- nounced. Those who received the let ters this morning have been merely accepted as members of the national army and are subject to be called on twenty-four hours notice. It Is expected that green cards will be sent out shortly to men who are liable to the next call asking that they hold themselves in readiness.
 To Observe Columbus Day.
 As has been the custom for a num- Der of years the Pla1nV1lle IruSt Com" pany will be closed all day tomorrow in observation of Columbus day. The post office will also be closed part of the day but will be open from 6:45 a. m. until 12:30 in the afternoon. As far as can be learned none of the other places of business will observe the holiday, the stores and factories having decided to keep open.
 Take An Afternoon Off.
 Instead of the strike which was said to have taken place yesterday among laborers who are employed by the Connecticut & Rhode Island company, the contractor this morning stated that the men merely took an after noon off. According to his statement the men were back at work this morning.
 It was rumored that number of the Portugese workmen had quit the job yesterday, striking for better con- ditions and more wages, and that the contractor was undecided to whether he would be able to finish the work. The foundation for the reports seem to be imaginative as this morning the work was running as smoothly as it has been for the past three weeks and the men are of the

opinion that they will have the ce- ment laid by the end of the week.
 Officials of the company are also of the opinion that the new highway will be opened for traffic by November 1. The cement has been laid as far as Pierce street and, when finished, will have to stand for several days be- fore the top dressing Of amiesite is laid.
