died at the University Va. hospital,
ESept. goth, 1918, where she had
gone for treatment, being accompan-
led by her husband and oldest son,
]. c. who is student at that 1nsti-
tuition. One very sad feature connect
ed with her death was that herbaby
boy was deprived of being with his
mother inner last hours and who
was not aware of the seriousness, OF
his mothers condition until notified
few hours before her death, then 1T
was too late to reach her bedside.
She was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George Gwin near Goshen, Va.
and is survived by her Father and
Mother three brothers four sisters,
husband and two sons.
Mrs. Lightner had been in failing
health for several months. 20
many friends outside of-the immci-
late family, the announcement IF
her death came as surprise. The
serious state Of health was not ser
orally known. She was a woman Of
culture and refinement and alive;
Her life proved that she Wcs .

Fifty cities and towns in CO1necti- cut furnished a total of volunteer re- cruits for the army during March ac- cOrding to figures made public today by Major w. A. Mercer, commanding the Conne2t 2ticut recruiting district. New Haven led the state with 42 re- cruits, Bridgeport second with f, fol-
 lowed by Hartford with 33 Waterbury 25 and New Britain ranking fifth with 16. Approximately 200 men volur- teered during the month. Only 5% were rejected. About 100 delayed their going until this month. Major Mercer declared that the past month was highly successful for recruiting. All the volunteers were outside the draft as no registered men have been permitted to volunteer since Decem- Der IS, last. In February 210 recruits were forwarded to the recruit depct. a total of 455 recruits for the last two months.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color,
 gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a hoGvy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just few applications will prove revela- tion if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- blesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This Is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other In gradients.
 While wispy. gray, faded hair is not sinful we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness By darkening your hair with wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. no one can tell, because it does 1t so naturally, so evenly. You just dampsn a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking enc small strand at time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
 This preparation is a delightful toi- let requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

DENIES ROBbING
 CHURCH ST. STORE
Alleged Burglar Claims Stranger
 Asked Him to Sell Suits

l Edward William, 19 years old, ! whose home address is given as East l St. Louis, was charged with burglary at the Boston Clothing store at 63 [ Church street last Thursday night. 1 He pleaded not guilty in police court l today and had Judge w. F. Mangan ! for his lawyer. With the case of the prosecution incomplete Prosecutor l k1ett asked for an adjournment until l tomorrow to permit bringing in other ! witnesses. It was ordered. The war l rant charges William with theft of six suits of clothes valued at $7O and two sets of furs valued at $23. Abra- ham A. Kaplan of the firm of Feld man & Kaplan, owners of the store, identified clothing exhibited as part of his stock. He recognized the clothing by his private marks. He said entrance was made by forcing the back door.
 Detective Sergeant Andrew J. Richardson testified that Williams
 was arrested in Hartford, Monday
 night He talked with the prisoner,
 ho claimed that he (Wiliiams) was
 in this city last Thursday and he so
 licited a man at the depot for sum
 of money to purchase food. The
 stranger made a proposition to him.
 If he would sell clothing which was
 contained in two suit cases he (the
 etranger) would give him all over $b
 received for each suit. Williams
 claims to have accepted the proposi-
 ton and went to Hartford. In Hart
 ford he met another young man, but
 the police have not been able to ap-
 prehend the second man in the case.
 On cross-examination, Judge Man gan brought out the fact that two men who had seen the thieves going away from the clothing store on the night of the burglary called at the police station to see the prisoner and were unable to identify him. The detective said he did not expect that they would identify Williams, as it was dark at the time of the burglary and the wit nesses did not get a good look at the strangers seen coming from the alley way. A woman also called at the po- lice station to see the prisoner, but the witness said he did not know about her. Prosecutor Klett here asked for a continuance until tomorrow to sum 1 mons the Hartford policeman who made the arrest, also the patrolnlan l who received the first complaint of the i, burglary and who made an investiga- l ton at the time.

The trouble took place at the freight depot 3 couple of days ago. O'Brien said that Lavery struck him in the eye with bale hook, causing a wound that bled for eight hours. A wound was also inflicted on his head. The trouble grew out of the fact that Con- stable George Stark was around look ng for Isavery. Judge Meskill i'm posed fine of $15
