FEW FOLKS HAVE
 CRAY HAIR NOW
WeII-known local druggist says every body is using old-time recipe of
 Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color asd lustre, 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 improved by the addition of oth- CT ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives, it an appearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a youthful ap- pearance to the hair. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- ventlon of disease. Adv.

HUNDRED TON STEAMER SAVES TIME AND CASH
 FOR THE CRANE COMPANY

It was learned today that the Crane Go. has now in operation between this city and New, York a small steamer cf approximately 100 tons for the pur- pose of bringing to Bridgeport small purchases made in the metropolis and returning to New York with some of the smaller articles produced by the plants in this city
 Superintendent of Traffic Miller said today that while nothing on the scale of a private ship company had as yet been attempted, the Crane Co. was obtaining satisfactory results from the operation of the one small steamer It has proved both a saving in time and money and the idea may expand in the near future.

GREAT AUX EXTINCT.
 SAY NATURALISTS

Eggs of any kind are expensive enough nowadays, but those of the great aux are so highland not on account of the war either-that only a millionaire could afford to buy a dozen. Indeed, it is doubtful if there are more than that many in the world.
 The great aux was a sea-fowl that in former days had it's most impor- tant breeding place on a rock called Funk Island, thirty-two miles off the Newfoundland coast. Whalers pro- visioned their ships with the birds (which were so fat that they are said Ito have been utilized as fueD, and )fshermen stole their eggs by whole sale.
 In consequence of such depreda- lions the species became extinct about seventy years ago, and today to represent it there are only a few stuffed specimens and skeletons in museums. Also a few eggs, one of which in 1859, fetched $9O at auction Since then, however, they have gone up. In 1882 one was sold for $550; al other egg, in 1895, was knocked CCwn at $S25. Four years later one brought S1,5O0, and in 1900 the price quoted for a specimen was $1,- 6TS.
 The Smithsonian Institution pos scsses an egg and a barrelful of mis- cellaneous aux boGes-the latter col lCcted by scientific expedition which it sent to Funk Island for the pur- pose.
 One day a few years ago a scientist connected with the Smithsonian hap rened to be in London and, passing 2 | tGXidermists shop, be saw a stuffed | great aux in the window. He nearly | dropped with astonishment
 But just as arrangements for its i purchase at a great price were or , the point of being completed, the dis 1 covery was made that the bird was z ''camouf1age," made out of odds ant ends of ducks, geese and other barn. yard fowls.

Japanese Youth
 Enters U. s. Army

It is well known that, during the recent days of draft registration. there were many aliens who refused to claim exemption on the ground of etheir nationality. One of the most interesting cases Is that of Japanese resident of California, who is now a private in a machine gun company at Camp Lewis, Washington. AL though not a citizen, he was satisfied to enter the National Army with the double aim of fighting German au- tocracy and winning American clti- Eenship.
 In a style somewhat reminiscent of Wallace Irwin's famous Japanese schoolboy correspondent, he writes:
 T became American soldier since Aug. 30. This is rather astonishing news to you. As you know, this gov ernment required registration of ali male population for recruiting, both natives and aliens. Any Japanese who registers stating he will fight for Japanese government is exempted from military service here. But when I registered last year, I could not say so. It may sound queer for Japanese to enter the American army but Is not Japanese government fight ing against Germany? My enlistment here can bring same effect as my ser vice in Japanese army. If l say would rather enter Japanese army, i would not be so pleasing to American But on the other hand, if I answered I am willing to fight with them, doe: @ not give them satisfaction? I an unmarried; hence I will be U. s, cit izen if allowed; first showing I an worthy of 1t by fighting for them."
 The writer also expresses higF praise of the way in which the United States government takes care of tho families of its soldiers. Stating that he hopes to be in France by December he concludes: ''There may be dan ger, but certainly also pleasure. w. must die anyway sooner or later. Le me die for some just cause"

STREET AND ORPHANAGE
 NAMED FOR PRESIDENT

Lucca, Italy, Nov. s-An ancient thoroughfare which for four hundred years has encircled this city on top of the Lucca wall has been officially renamed as Boulevard Presidente Wilson," in recognition of American aid extended to Italy in the war. The boulevard Is so wide that twelve horses can be driven abreast in it. The fertilization beneath it was built when Lucca was the capital of feudal duchy and has been a famous relic for centuries.
 On the same day an American Red Cross orphanage, also built on top of the great Lucca wall, was dedicated. This curious site was selected for lack of an available location in the town. The building is cunning adaptation of the Luccan style,-painted to con form with the wall and set with an cient panels and Latin notices. The orphanage was erected by the Ameri- can Red Cross in fifty days to house a group of soldiers children orphan ed during the war.

Hurd, chairman of the boycott committee of the society. 4 legal committee is to undertake the protection of American made goods in case German importations are offered as substitutes.
 A resolution was adopted protesting against the action of the War Trade Board in permitting the consignment of 1000 cases of German toys and china to be brought here recently on Holland-American. Line steamship.

Rheumatism Goes
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints
 Vanish When Rheuma Is Used


 At last real remedy for rheuma- tism. And good one it must be when Hartigan's drug stores and good druggists everywhere sell it on the no-cure no-pay basis.
 Rheumatics should hail the news with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy and has a rec ord of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga, says about it:
 ''I had sciatic rheumatism for two years, and tried every medicine offered for rheumatism. Tried many doctors, was treated at one of the best south ern sanatoriums, and if I improved any I did not realize it. I am 8 con- ductor on the Central of Georgia Rail- road, and had secured a pass to Hot Springs, Ark, to take treatment. About that |, time I saw Rheuma advertised and concluded to try it. l abandoned my trip, took three bottles, and now feel as well as ever. l am going to make everybody I see who has rheu- matism try it. I would not take hundred thousand dollars for what Rheuma has done for me. I would rather be dead than live as I was be- fore the use of Rheuma."
 If you have rheumatism in any form, don't delay-try Rheuma today. A large bottle sufficient for two weeks treatment, is not expensive, and your money back if it does not give you quick and joyful relief.-Adv.

rooms hired where games were in- dulged in.
 Education Replaces Athletics
 Gradually came the realization that they must work for their own build ings, and in 1916. after many years of struggling to maintain their organiza- ton, and during which time the ath- letic idea had been supplanted by the educational one, and dramatic and literary clubs formed, the property at $40 South Main street was purchased as 8. club room and educational cen- ter. The building was formerly the Naugatuck railroad offices ana was renovated to be used as a club room and school.
 On January 1, 1917, the Polish Falcon Trade school was established. this idea having been planted in the minds of the men who negotiated for the purchase of the old railroad office building. The board of directors con- sisted of Peter Knap, now president of the organization; K. Krolikwinisky and B. Ziolkowski, all of this city.
 In the early days, finances were at same means were used to obtain mon- ey to carry on a trade school.
 Must Be Americans
 But that was not all These Polish leaders demanded that the Polish peo- pie become good Americans. They asked that they be grateful, loyal and patriotic to the country that had given them freedom, and had even given them the means of helping their op- pressed brothers in Europe. So a class in civic was formed in addition to the teaching of English to the Fo- fish people. They were taught Amer icanism.
 Frank Siara, of the American In- ternational College at Springfield, Mass, who was one of the first in- structors of the trade school, took on the added duties of teaching both Eng fish and civics. His efforts were met with laudable success, and today MT. Siara says that every member of the Polish Falcons will be an American citizen within a short time. 1 The trade school progressed rapidly. Machinery was bought as fast as funds could be obtained. Prof. Matuszko- witz of the Bridgeport Trade school, noted instructor in mechanical engi- neering, was obtained to teach the young men of the school one evening l a week. MT. Siara continued to teach the trade school and the classes in English and civicG.
 Efforts were made to obtain more machinery and E. P. Bullard of the Rullard Machine Tool Co.,, announced that he would not only help the Fall cons out in tie matter of machinery, but would give the young men who were at the school work to do. as1@ when they had completed their courG@ would see that they obtained employ | ment.

HAVE GERMANS ADOPTED NEW
 GOVERNMENT?
If Claims Made Are True It Is One of Greatest Revo-
 lutions in History.

Germany claims to have democra- tized it's government. If so, one of the greatest revolutions of history has taken place over night. The mighti- est despotism the world ever saw, suddenly disappears. In its place we have a democratic monarchy con- forming to President Wilson's de- mands. It takes a shell game artist at a county fair to do anything SC neat.
 Great revolutions like these, if au- thentic, are attested by indisputable evidence. Any constitutional change in the United States is the subject of long debate in public assembly, and is finally agreed to by vote attested and put on record by the lawful au- thorities. English liberties date back to Magma Charta. You can find an original copy of it in Lincoln cathe- dral today.
 When has any proclamation of ab- dication of his imperial power been made by Emperor William II of Ger many? Under the German consti- tuition, he has the power of making defensive war" AS he can set uI LHe SidlAH lHdl any war IS NSleiLSlNe, this practically gives him the right to make war anytime he wants to Where and when has he abdicated | this power? Let him come forward and present a signed proclamation giving up the right.
 Under the German constitution, the Fede9l Council can authorize 2 the Kaiser to make an Offensive war; As this body does not represent the people, the Council must formally by attested vote renounce this right, be- fore the first step toward democrati 1 za1on has been made.
 The claim set forth by the Ger
 man government that 1t has placed
 sovereign power in the hands of thu
 people is too transparent to deceiv'
 a class of school children.
