SAGE TEA DARkENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old Time Recipe That Anybody
 Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its nat ural color dates back to grandmother time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A weIl-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 WNeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure. mitigation or prevention of disease.

speech. The meeting closed with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the Liberty chorus and audience.
 Attorney General George E. Hinman of this city appeared before the court os common pleas in Hartford, We'd nesday to oppose, in behalf of thu state, the petition for the discharge of Thomas Hefferon of Hartford, from jail in that city. The hearing was before Judge Edward l.. Smith under a writ of habeas corpus made out by Matthew P. Kelley. The judge held that the grounds advanced by MT. Kelley were well taken and ordered the discharge of Hefferon.
 The case was one in which the pro- bate court July. 1917, in Hartford, di- rected that Hefferon be committed to the Norwich state farm for inebriates for period of from one to three years. July ,. 1918. the trustees of the inebriate farm, acting under Sec tion 8, Chapter 33S of the legislative acts of 1915. issued an order that lief feron be committed to jail i'll Hartford county for 1S4 days; on the strengh of that order mittimus was issued and since July Hefferon has been held in jail.
 In support of his application for the T.. tended that the act in so far as it re- lated to the holding of Hefferon in jail, was unconstitutional. The pro- bate court which committed Hefferon to the Norwich state farm has no criminal Jurisdiction, that under the order committing Hefferon, the latter was not charged with a crime or of- fense and for the trustees of the state farm for inebriates to make an order that Hefferon be committed to Jail for lS4 days was judicial act; he argued that the legislature has no constitu- tional right to vest judicial authority in the board of trustees, and that lief feron was illegally held in custody.
 Attorney General Hinman contended that no judicial authority had been vested in the trustees, but that the commitment by the probate court inn pied an alternative sentence such as the legislative act in question contem- plated.

NORTH COVENTRY FfRE-
 STEVE TAYLOR SUFFocArEp

Steve Taylor. employed as a farm hand by John Anderson of Silver street, North Coventry, was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the Anderson home, causing the Anderson family to flee in their nightclothes, at o'clock Wednesday morning. The / origin of the fire is not known. When the family retired there was no fire ill the stove. for it had been allowed to go out during the afternoon, as re- pairs, were being made on the chim- ney. The house, on the lead that leads to South Coventry lis known as the Charles Loomis place.. The An derson family consisting of MT. and
 Mrs. Anderson, a daughter. age IA, and two sons. aged Is and 12. respectively,
 were asleep in the upper part of the
 house. Taylor occupied a room on the
 ground floor just off the kitchen, About
 5 o'clock Wednesday morning mem bers of the family heard a noise and it
 seemed as though Taylor was calling for help or assistance of some kind.
 John Anderson. the 12-year-old son,
 ran downstairs and as he opened the
 door leading from the stairs into the
 kitchen he saw that the room was full of smoke and, flames were eating
 their way up through the walls. He
 thought that he saw his father lying on the floor.
 Although other members of the fam fly had been awakened by the noise which caused the younger boy to run downstairs, the flames and smoke swept through the house so fast that | they did not have time to dress. The l escape by way of the stairs was cut ! off as the stairs led directly into the | kitchen and the only way they could | get out was to jump from the second story window. The house being of an | old fashioned type, the jump was not 1 far, and all escaped uninjnred. Run ming to the home. of a nelghbor, the
 telephone operator at the the Manehes- | ter exchange was asked to call all nV- ] ing in that vicinity and get them to give assistance. This the operator | did and while it was not possible to save any furniture or the house. by | the formation of a bucket brigade l they did succeed in saving the barns. | The loss will be almost total as there was only $500 insurance on both the building and contents destroyed. | While there was every reason to feel that the body of Taylor had been ] burned in the fire it was not until the afternoon, whe nthe fire had burned 1 itself out, that a search started proved i this to be true. The body was so bad 1 ly burned that it could net be reoog-
 rizedS and only part of itzwas recev- cred He evidently had tried to ex- tinguish the fire, was overcome by the
 smoke as the body when; found gave indications Of his2 having fallen face downward.
 | .Taylor was born in North Coventry
 and is survived by his mother, two | brothers and a sister. The body was
 removed from the ruins during the af- ternoon and the funeral will be held
 this Q'Fiday) afternooi with burial in 1 Coventry.
