Don't Spoil Your Hair
 By Washing It

When you wash your hair, be care- full what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greasless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub. it in, about a teaspoonfu1 is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather. cieanses thoroughly, and finses out easily The. hair dries quickly and evenly, and fs soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosehs and takes out every, particle of dust, dirt and dan druff.

How Old Are You
 By Your Hair !?

You may be thirty in years. but if you are bald-headed gray. or your hair Is dry. brittle. scraggIy and ugly looking. people will surely take you to be many years older.
 When your hair becomes faded, dry, streaked and scraggly, when it falls out badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots should be immediately .vital- ize1 and properly nourished. To do this quickly, safely and at little ex- pense. there is nothing so effective as Parlsian sage tliquid f0rm), which you can get at Lee 6 Osgood's and all good drug and toilet counters.
 It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff- stop scalp itch and falling hair and [ omote 2 new grawth or money re- funded It's in grsat demand by dis CT 1inating women because it makes the hair so soft, 1ustrous. easy to ar- range atti actively and appear heavier than 1t really is.
 A massage with Parisian sage is a real delight-easy to use, not sticky or greasy, and de1icately perfumed- an antiseptic liquid free from danger Ous ingredients and guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp. If yeu want good looking hair and plenty of it, by all means use Parisianl sase-a little attention now helps insure beautiful hair for years to come

USE EARLIER MAILS IS
 ADVICE FROM POSTMASTER

Outgoing and incoming mails during the past week have been from 30 to so minutes late, due to weather condi- tions, which prompts Postmaster John P. Murphy again to call the attention of merchants to the advisabilHy of early mailing instead of waiting for the last mail of the day to get their letters of.
 For several days past mail sent from here on the no D. m. train, which is the one most used. has not connected at New London with the Boston and New York trains, and as a result the letters have not been delivered in those cities in time to have orders shipped on the day of receipt of the letteh. This shows to the merchants the de- sirability sending their mail on an earlier train. If. the Norwich mer- chants can get their important mail off on the 40 D. m. train they would be sure of having it reach it's destination in time

AT HEAD OF CLASS
 IN WEATHER PROPHETS

Herbert W. Lucas of Broadway, the local weather prophet, who was the only one to predict a cold winter, claims a place at the head of the class as practically all others were predicting a mild winter season. He refused to be swerved from his first forecast~that there would be plenty of ice and quite a lot of snow With. two months of winter left, Mir. Lu- cas claims he still has quite good margin for more cold weather yet
 He is anxious to have the Hartford Courant writer note how his prophecy made in October has been fulfilled MT. Lucas remembers that the Hart ford writer said the Norwich man must feel the winter in his bones or elsewhere and scoffed at the eonf- dence which. the Norwich prophet showed. A dozen or more weather prophets, says Mir Lucas, predicted a mild winter. but ' or inches of snow on the ground, r inch ice and zero weather for several mornings don't look like a mild winter to Mir Lucas, though it may to his friend from Hartford
