NORWICH FUEL SITUATION ACUTE;
 PRIORITY ORDERS MAY BRING RELIEF

The coal situation in Norwich is rapidly becoming acute and unless
 there is some relief within the next
 few days the city faces 8 coal fam
 inc that might result in the closing down of several of the industrial plants located within it's limits. Local coal dealers when asked
 about the supply they had on hand at their wards were all agreed that the bituminous coal upon which the many industrial plants of the city de- pend for their power, was the worst since the great coal famine of last fall when the coal miners of the
 country stopped work at the mines. One of the local dealers, the Ed ward Chappell company. stated Wed- nesdsy night that they had at pres weeks supply of anthracite coal which should in normal times carry them to March when a new supply could be obtained, but under present conditions it seems unlikely that this supply can be obtained and if after the bituminous coal has been used up, the local factories use the hard
 coal, the city will be practically with out coal of any Kind. This same view of the coal situation seemed to
 prevail among other coal dealers.
 One of the biggest handieaps faced by, the Norwich coal dealers is the condition of the Thames river. The river is frozen solid from Cen traf Wharf nearly to Mentville and if any coal could be obtained and c4rried to that place it would take some time to break up the ice in the | river and tow the heavy coal laden barges to the wharves of Norwich
 dealers. This method of bringing n ify Sa- Ia h
 ried out as the chances of receiving
 supply of coal over any railroad is slight, due to the practice of the | railroads in seizing all coal that is now beins sens Gut from the mines. Many protests against this seizure have been enterod by dealers but to
 no avail, and if the practice is cet!- tinued much longer it wall greatly e. danger the retail aEd domestic supply of Norwich as wei. as other New 1 England cities.
 Relief Through Priority Orders. However, relief may be secured 1 within the next few daysAas an order
 issued by the railroad administra : ton has been issued giving priority | to all coal shipments to New Eng land. In special dispatch from The | Bulletin Washington correspondent I railroad administration today netifiei | Congressman Lonergan that for 72 i hours all New England coal ship ments shall have priority and the
 right of way over foedstuffs ship
 ments in an effort to relieve the coa,
 famine in this section"
 With these orders in effect it is possible that ears of coal that have | been ordered by local dealess may a. rive in the next few days and thus
 relieve the situation here and tide ths
 local companies over until the rivel
 breaks up and coal may be received
 by tidewater.

ROBIN HOOD" AT DAVIS
 THEATRE DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

Reginald Dekoven's Robin Hood" as played by the Boston English com pany at Davis theatre on Wednesday evening proved as much Of a success as when first played by The Boston ians back in the early sos. The opera which is one of DeKovens master pieces has lost nothing by age and up to date humor introduced by Ber- tram Goitra as the Sheriff o6 Noting ham and William Northway as Friar Tuck, found favor immediately with the large audience. Local theatre go- CTS responded immediately to the musical and comic appeal of the pro- duetion and evidenced their pleasure and approval by applause that is sel- dom noted in this city.
 The role of Robert of Huntington afterwerd Robin Hood was portrayed by Ralph Rrainard, leading tenor of the American Saeiety of Singers, new

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what yeu wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampeos contain too much alkaG. This dries
 the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Mulsiffed eocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and an tirely greaseless). is much better than anything else you can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure- the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
 and scalp thoroughly. The lsther
 rinses out easily, and removes every
 particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age. You can get Mulsifed eoeoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It l is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family l for months

Thamesville for lack of heavy oil that is being used as fuel to generate power. This oil which is being sup piled from the oil wells of the coun- try has not run short but owing fo the difficulty of transporting it from the wells to the cities at distant points many plants that use this fuel for power may be forced to close down until new supply has been received.
 The Irons.des Board Corporation which took over the American Straw board plant at Thamesville last July did away with the old system of generating power by use of hitumin- ous coal and installed a power gene rating system dependent upon oil
 When the coal famine of 1919 forced many local plants to cease opera tions this company managed to keep going but today with its supply of oil practically used up it has been forced to close down.
 A statement issued by members of the company Wednesday was to the effect that there was plenty of oil in the country but as transportation by rail had been cut off and the frozen condition of the river made ship ] mert by oil tankess impossible 1t is impossible to say when the needed supply of oil can be obtained and the plant reopened for operations. The company normally uses about three cars of oil every two days and | as the supply at the plant is used up | 1t will take several carloads before the plant can be opened for opera ton.
 The Shore Line Situation. Conditions relative to receiving a new supply of coal at any of the power plants of the Shore Line Elec- | tric Railroad Company were about
 the same Wednesday night as they l were Monday. the water power from i the power plant at Dayvilfe showing l signs of increasing during the next few days rather than decreasing as l was first supposed would happen af- l ter the mills began operations Mon day morning.
 1 The warm weather of Wednesday 1 did much to aid to the water power at the Dayyille station and unless a | sudden change in tempera ture is ex- i perieneed the power should increase to send their blows through to Will
 limantic on the Willimantic- Norwich 1 line.
 The coal situation remains the same as earlier in the week, none oi 1 the coal ordered by the company hav- ing escaped the embargo of the rail
 roads who have taken over all avail
 able supply for their own needs. Al
 the present time there is about 1f
 days supply of coal at the Montvilie
 power plant and unless coal arrives l before that time is up it might be-
 come necessary to suspend operation | over the entire system. The com pany have two barges of coal order ed and latest information of theil
 wherea bouts was that one of then had put into New Haven harbor aftel having sprung a leak while the sec. ond. barge of coal had put up al
 Bridgeport some time during the day
 Wednesday. These two barge load.
 when they arrive at New London vii

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA TO DARkEN HAIR
she made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to bring back color,
 sIess and youthfuIness.

Common garden sage brewed into . heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove. a revela- tion if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home though, is treu- blesoma. An easier way is to get 9 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- gredients.
 While wispy. gray, faded hair is net 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 it so naturally. so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning ali gray hairs have disappeared, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

 KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
# your Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots Of wates
 and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore. don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean. by flushing them with mild. harmless salts which removes the boay's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active
 Drink lots of water-you can drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn ing for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lem on juice. combined with lfthia, and has been used for generations to. clean and stimulate { elogged kid neys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure; makes a delightful efservescent lithia- water drink which everyone should take now and then to keeI their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drink ing, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and baclsache.
