Thousands of men and women are growing hairless every day and don know the reason why. This is indeed a pity, because loss of hair usually comes from neglect.
 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 invigorator. but to immediately stop any further loss of hair and. quickly start new growth 1t must he rubbed into the scalp so the starved hair roots can readily absorb it and get the vital stimulation so badly needed. You will surely be delighted with the first ap- plication, for your hair and scalp should look and feel very much better.
 Partisan sage is not expensive. It's scientific preparation that supplies hair needs-a clean, non-sticky, anti septic liquid that Is sold at drug stores everywhere with guarantee to give you perfect satisfaction or. money re- funded.
 Good looking hair is half the battle in any mans or woman's personal ap- pearance. Neglect means dull. thin lifeless hair and perhaps badness while a little attention now helps in sure thick and lustrous hair for year. to come.

 Functions of the Body
Sulpherb Tablets Boon To Woman
 kind Who Suffer.

Not only a boon to womankind but to men, women, boys and girls, Sul- pherb Tablets have proven to be the simple, mild but most effective, in the overcoming of conditions primarily due to constipation and inactive kid neys. Women suffer periodically, and at such times suffer in silence, when if they could only know that the sul- phur, cream of tartar and herb ex- tracts in Sulpherb Tablets would surely bring relief, there would be millions made happy and free from headaches, backaches, languor, con stipation, pirnples, eruptions, etc, due to :. accumulated poisons in the body. Mrs. E. Phelan, 1ss Cambridge St., Boston, writes: "In reading your good advice to others have found relief. was troubled with. back aches, headaches and dizzy spells so I started to take your Sulpherb Tab lets which gave me great relief May your good work go on, etc."

SENATOR HARDING REPLIES
 TO PLUMB PLAN LEAGUE

Washington, April 15.-The Plumb Plan League made public tonight letter from Senator Harding oI Ohio, answering questions propounded by the league as to how his campaign for the republican presidential nom- -ination was being financed and as to his attitude toward compelling pub lication of campaign expenditures.
 As to rumors of large expenditures Senator Harding said he could say nothing "dependably" as to other presidential candidates. and added:
 If I may judge from the nature Of widespread organization in my own state of Ohio, I would say that the rumors of excessive expenditures are not without foundation. l think my self it is a very great misfortune that we have drifted into a political system which makes it possible to pur- sue such a re- e-convention programme.
 The senator said that in fairness to those charged with abnormal eX- penditures," he was impelled to say that he knew of nothing such as we ordinarily denominate corrupt" about them. Of his own campaign he said: q do not know precisely how much has been expended to date. but at the Nst conference I held with my manag- CTS we contemplated an expenditure approximating seventy-five thousand dollars. I do not ersonally know of single contribution to this fund in | excess of one thousand do1.d1s, ex- cept that subscribed by brother-in
 law. who was good enough to send S1
 q check for two thousand. I do not
 believe we have a single corporate
 subscription from any source. Thirty thousand dollars of the fund already
 raised was subscribed by my friends and neighbors in my home city oi Marion. Ohio. I am expecting to make
 a contribution of five thousand dollar:

ARREST WOMAN WHO SOLD CLOTH
 STOLEN FROM GLEN WOOLEN MILL

were loading up an automobile with cloth stolen from the mill, the Nor wich police have kept persistently at work on the case with the feeling that they would run across the trail of the thieves and the cloth that the men got away with. About a week ago they got knowledge of family that had bought some woolen cloth and this line of search unearthed yet other families in the city where cloth had been sold until eight pieces in all were discovered and it was learned who had made the sales.
 Thursday afternoon the net was closed with the arrest of Mrs. Lum- brella and the various lots of woolen cloth were recovered from the fam | flies who were holding them.. In one case a pair of trousers had been made from the cloth, but in the others it was still in the original pieces. | Officer Ralph Diveto arrested Mrs she was at work, and she. was brought
 to police headquarters and questioned by Chief George Linton.
 After the questioning she was locked
 up in the woman's room at police i headquarters.
 The location of the stolen c.ost | stands to the credit of the Norwich 1 police as reward for their persistent
 work in following up the woolen mil burglary as the men who robbed the
 mill got away without leaving any
 trace of who they might be and it i.
 by keeping everlastingly at it that tht
 local officers have been able to picl up the trail that seems likely t
 solve the mystery about the thieve!
 and possibly bring them before tn, court for prosecution.
