 Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell because it's done so naturally so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though at home is mussy and trou- blesorre. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to- use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients called 'sWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound You just dampcn sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears and after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant n -
 Gray faded hair, though no dis grace, Is a sign of old age and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance. get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready to-use preparation is delightful toilet requisite and not a medicine. It is net intended for the cure mitiga- ton or prevention of disease.

MATTERS INTERESTING WESTERLY
Pictures in Memorial Building Being Touched UpDeath of Dr. Lucy A! Babcock- P. Malon Dead Minister ial Association Hears Paper by Ashaway Pastor.

|. It is argued by some in Westerly that there is really no need for filling the vacancy on the police force. and that two men could police the compact part of the town one by day and one by night, and give just as much pro- lection as at present with chief and three men. As matter of tact the force is all too small now to cover the beats prescribed in regulations, and the wonder is how it is accomplished
 with one man short. Therefore. the
 vacancy should not only be filled. but there are many advocating an increase in the membership of the police de- partment in order that the town re- ceive adequate police protection. Still, the gentlemen of leisure con tinue to argue that the department
 could stand clipping. As all illustra- ton they cite that the membership of the town council is composed of seven
 selected citizens, when as matter of fact only five are serving the town. Councilman Larkin is an officer in the navy and Councilman Thorp is in the south for the benefit of his health, and the affairs of the town go on just the same as if the seven wise men set at the council table. These gentlemen
 of leisure go on and say that if five
 men can do the work of seven in the conduct of the affairs of the big town of Westerly, there is no valid reason why much smaller number could not
 do all that is now being done by the
 Westerly police department.

Hanover, N. H.. Feb. 27.-The Dartmouth five fell hard before the Princeton tossers last night, A to II. The Green was completely baffIed by the visitors teamwork and was forced to play a defensive game throughout.

 The home aggregation braced in the second period and through the aggressive work of Deane and Lar mon brought the ball up the court for baskets, only to have Finn and Horne slip away for scores immc- diately after.
