fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
Just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any, drug store a bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready to-use prep
aration, because it darkens the hair
beautifully, besides, no one can pos
sibly tell, as it darkens so naturally
and evenly. You moisten a sponge
or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it's natural color
is restored and it becomes thick.
glossy and lustrous, and you appear

GOVERNOR DECLINES TO
FATHER MORRISON BILL

Governor Marcus H. Holconrb en-
phatically disclaimed on Wednesday
the so-cal1ed Morrison bill which
would create school code providing
for the government of the schools by
the state board of education and the
commissioner Of schools and leaving
only unimportant details to the town
and district school boards, say the
Hartford Courant. Il have never read
il, or seen it." he said.
Members of the state board of edu-
cation appearing in different cities
of the state to discuss the now ia
nous bill, have given the impression,
perhaps unintentionaIly, that it was
tbs product of an idea conceived by
the governor A Courant man secured
all Interview with the governor for
the purpose of ascertaining if he had
any interest in it.
1T IS being publicly stated said
the reporter that a bill before the
| legislature commonly called the Nor
rison Bill is the governors bill, il
! that statement correct?''
! NO" replied the governor. 81 have
said that I believed our educationa
methods could, and should be i'm.
proved. Whether or not the bill t
which you refer was prepared because
OF any such statement, I do not know
but if it were, I was not consulted
with reference to its terms; it wal
never submitted to me for examina
ton and. in fact, I have never read ii
nor seen it, and I therefore reply t
your question that the bill you men
ton is not the government bill and IL
enc has authority to state that 1t is.
Reference to The Courant's file
shows that the governors letter t
the state board of education recon-
mcnded that "a complete and practi
cal plan for needed improvements 4
CUR school system" he prepared. Hi
letter contained nothing that woUl
warrant the assumption that he ha
anything to do with the bill drawn u
by Henry c. Morrison, assistant sec
rotary OF the state board of education
and now pending hearing before eth
committee on education.

senate: "Of course, the defeat of the
amendment is only temporary and,
while it is a disappointment, it is not
a great surprise, for the vote was
brought up without the request or
sanction of the National Suffrage as
section.
THE defat simply means that the
democrats have turned down any OBJ
/ portunity of securing the credit for
the passage of the amendment and
| that it will be introduced again in the
next congress when it must go back
| through the house. The house during
! this session had given the necessary
two thirds majority.
Here in Connecticut we shall go
on more determinedly than ever to
bring democracy into New England
We shall of course push the presi-
Dental suffrage bill which has been
introduced into the present state leg
