BONFIRE SPARK SETS FIRE
 TO LOAD OF COTTON WASTE


 A three and one-half ton Federal truck owned by the Max Gordon corporation and carrying 45 bags of cotton waste caught fire on the Jewett City road at point known as the Shetucket siding and was totally destroyed shortly after 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon.
 The driver of the machine, Andrew Brodusky and helper, Joseph Verneshe- skie, had been to Moosup, where they had loaded on to the truck the 45 bags of waste, securing it with chains and ropes. They started home with the load and when near Round Hill had passed a bon fire beside the road About quarter of a mile beyond the fire the driver sud- denly turned and saw his load was ablaze. He immediately turned his truck into the bank beside the road and with %j helper tried to cut loose the load. They sue eeeded in cutting the ropes that held the load but were unable to get off the chain as the cotton was blazing so fiercely they could not get near the truck
 They tried to put out the fire with sand but were unable to make any headway and it was only a short time before the truck was a total wreck. The local fire department was summoned but the dis tance being so great it was not thought advisable to send the apparatus away from the city.
 The blazing truck and cotton blocked the highway for some time, traffic being unable to get past owing to the intense heat. The heat was so great that the chassis of the truck was redhot and twist ed out of shape. The gasoline tank of the machine exploded during the. fire and shot blaze for several feet
 Nothing remains of the truck but the motor and two front wheels the rest be- l ing demaged beyond repair. The truck was partially covered by insurance. NIT Brodusky stated that in all probability z spark from the bonfire which he passed started the blaze on his truck.

How ts Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick
 and Lustrous- Few of us get bald in day, and we all have ample warning when our hair IS thinning out
 Parisian sage is a most efficient hair invirorator. but to quickly stop any fur ther loss of hair and promote a new growth it must be rubbed into the scalp so the starved hair roots can really ab- sorb it and get the vital stimulation so badly needed.
 You win surely be delighted with the first application. for your hair and scalp should look and feel 100 per cent. better.
 Parisian sage is not expensive. It's a scientific preparation that supplies hair needs-a clean. non-sticky, antiseptic liquid that Is sold by Lee & Osgood and at good drug stores everywhere with guarantee to give you perfect satisfaction or money refunded.
 Good looking hair is half the battle in any mans or wonnan's personal appear ance. Neglect means dull. thin. dead-look- me hair. and finally badness, while a little attention now should insure thick and lustrous hair for years to come.
 No matter what your hair troubles, try d rarisian sage massage tonight-you will not be disappointed.
