ONE WONDERFUL NIGHT

 Well " resumed the woman who had been away on a vacation, 4one night especially was wonderful! We had accepted our hosts invitation to help him get the next days supply of meat. The place where they got the meat was fifteen miles through the canyon, and we had hesitated a little, for the machine was beginning to feel the effects of age and rough roads, and we were running out of arniea and our aireushion was on the way to be repaired But the air-the mountain air-was so invigorating 1 that l told my husband we would risk it and go.
 We made the first part of our trip without any hap or mishap, got our meat and started on the return. It began to grow late. We slowed our selves away on top of the meat boxes and prayed for a safe trip.
 We rambled along at a good clir and l was busy remembering the road over which we had come and tried not to worry. You know what noun tain roads are-they are lined with g i frightfully high stone wall on one side and with nothing whatever but a precipice on the other

 Because they have taken this course ought not to mean that the 1nvesti- satfon win be stopped The very fact that they have dropped the price as they have shows that they have been getting more than they were entitled to and it is entirely proper that they should be made to disclose how long

pARKEN GRAY HAIR,
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally That Nobody
 Can Tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre. or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulph- UT in the hair. Our grandmother made up 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 other ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, talk 1 ing one small strand at a time By morning the gray hair disappears;
 but what delights the ladies with | Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is that, besides beautifully
 darkening the hair after a few ap- plications it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is delightful toilet requisite
 to inlpart color and youthful ap- pearance to the hair. It is not in. i tended for the cure, mitigation ol

PARTISAN DEBATE BLOCKS SENATE ADJOURNMENT

Washington. Oct. 28.-Peace nego- tiations and President Wilson's state ment asking his fellow eountrymen to return a democratic congress in the November elections were the vehicles of a partisan debate in the senate to- day which continued throughout the session and blocked plans for adjourn ment of congress tomorrow over the elections.
 The discussion, which was opened by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, re- publican, and former secretary of state, with an attack on the presidents S appeal to the electorate, became gen. eral among the dozen senators pres ent. Republicans sharply criticized the president for carrying on peace discussions with the central powers and for enunciating terms and princi- pies of peace Senator Knox said the president $ appeal raised the question whether the will of the president or the will of the | American people is to determine the policy of this country in ending the
 war, while Senator Poindexter of Washington, republican, said the pres ident assumed more authority than is given under the constitution in fixing peace terms. The Washington senator SJ i Germany than to bring about an armistice.

THE WEAR ON THE ROADS.

There is nothing unusual in the de- mand which is being made out in Ne hraska for the giving of more -atten- ton to the roadbuilding problem so that when the highways are construct cd they will be of such g character as 10 be able to handle the heavy loads which are being carried over them and stand up under them.
 What is botherlng Nebraska is by no means confined to that state. It Is problem which has confronted prac- tically every state in the Union tc some degree or other ln keeping with the development of the motor trucks Ii is nothing out of the ordinary to- day to see automobiles carrying great heavy loads not only in cities but be- tween cities and through states fo; that matter where only a few years ago such transportation was entirely confined to the railroads.

 When anyone applies for work in the camps or among the troops of the United States in France or war ser vice, as a Y. M. c. A. or Knights of Columbus scantonment assistant, the war department insists that the ap- plicant's own record be perfectly clean as patriot.
 Has the subject any relatives or personal friends or business conpec- tions in enemy countries?
 Has the subject affiliated directly or indirectly with any organization or propaganda opposed to the position taken by the |, $. in regard to the war or with known or suspected agents of the enemy? Has the subject or his close rela- tives expressed approval teither be- fore or after the war by the U.

MEN WHO SHOULD BE ELECTED.

Every voter in the state of Connec- ticut has reason to stand loyalty back of the administration which has been :Tiven by Governor Holcomb. He tele- eraphed President Wilson directly af- ter relations with Germany were sev- cred You can depend upon the loyal support of Connecticut" and he has worked indefatigably to see that this commonwealth should do its part even IS he said it would. At the same time keen business judgment has been used in the conduct of state affairs and in the handling of its finances. While ne has had the interests of the state in mind he likewise has had proper con- sideration for the pocketbooks of the people.
 And while the voters of Connecti- cut have reason to stand back of the governor and those on the ticket with him, those of Norwich should give the same generous support to the repub- lican candidates who can be relied upon to uphold the governor through the legislature in his businesslike and efficient conduct of state affairs.
 For state senator Albert J. Bailey is thoroughly qualified having had the experience of two terms In the gen. eral assembly. while for representa- lives George E. Fellows and Charles W. Burton are men thoroughly in touch with Norwich needs and capa- ble of giving it the representation which is needed at Hartford
 It is a well known fact that Con- gressman Freeman has stood Loyalty by the president in meeting the na- tional crisis and it is important that he should be returned in the interest not only of the districts but the na- tion's welfare in the next two years while the highly satisfactory lservice Of Sheriff Brown calls for his reten l ton in office.
