LADIES! SECRET TO
DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back It's Color and Lustre with
Grandma's Sage Tea Recipe

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trout
blesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to- preparation i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, a large bottle.l lat little cost,
at drug stores. known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sim
full we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness.
BY darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, Compound, no one
can tell. because it does it so natural
ly, 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
all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, CLOS
sy, soft and luxuriant and you appear
years younger-Adv

Richmond Proud
of It's Live Wire
Chamber of Commerce

Richmond, Me-, Feb. 2S-T1e citi-
gems of Richmond feel proud of it's
Chamber of Commerce and those who
have seen it's working and accom-
plishment agree that they have a
right for such pride and satisfaction,
for the organization has taken hold
of matters that interest and are of
material concern to the town and it's
people and carried them through.
The officers have been and are hust-
lers, alive to the wants and needs of
the town and every individual mem
Der has made himself a committee of
one to see that something of benefit
to the town is accomplished, with a
committee of the whole that has
faced every requirement with earn
estness and determination not to
let go until the object had been at
tanned. The Chamber recently elect
ed a new board of officers, which in
Guides many of the previous board.
They are:
President, Harry E. Houdlett; vice
president, N. w. Hanson; secretary,
L. F. Roberts; treasurer, J. M. .'"r-

dan; directors. F. p. Peabody, N. r.
Pearson, w. W. Gardiner, H. L. Tarr
and W. F. Durham.
The new officers have so far held
two meetings, at which much work
has been laid out for the coming year,
a year that every citizen of the town
is determined shall be one of the
most prosperous in the history Of the
town.
The Richmond Chamber Of Com
merce takes pardonable pride in the
things it accomplished during the
past year. Some of these things
might not look of a gigantic nature
to an outsider, but every one of them
was for the betterment of the town
and the welfare of our people, In
cluded ar
Appointment of committee to in
vestigate the fire alarm system and
report at the 1921 town meeting;
change of location of the public Ii
brary to commodious quarters in the
town building, where the patrons are
far better accommodated; clean up
day of last May, "reaP job; in
stigators and hackers of a petition
to the Public Utilities Commission to
order the Richmond Water Co. to in
stall a filter system, the matter be-
ing now pending; hearty cooperation
and backing for the Exhibition and
Grange hall; valuable work in Sc
curing transportation for the pro-
ducts of local industries during the
car shortage.
The Chamber secured driveway
at Toothaker's wharf for the accom-
mediation of people on both sides of
the river. 1t endorsed to the limit the
project for securing the return of
steamboat service between Boston
and the Kennebec and still later took
up with and secured from the Maine
Central Railroad the stopping of the
milk" train at Richmond for the ac-
commodation of passengers to Port
land and way stations.
The passengers of the snow stalled
trains of just a year ago will not
soon forget the attention paid them
by the Red Cross and their assist
ants, Chamber of Commerce men and
the ladies', in looking after their
needs and wants for the "a hours
they were showed in here. and let
tiers of appreciation have not ceased
to arrive.
In addition to this partial list of
what the Richmond C. of c. has had
on it's hands, scores of matters might
be enumerated, all of value and ben
eft to the town. No matter has been
considered too small for attention and
none too large to tackle. That is one
reason why the town of Richmond is
regaining and holding it's old-time
position of Importance and influence
on the Kennebec.

Father Went Away
From Portland

New York, Feb. PSI intend to
find my father l am confident that
he is alive. The fact that | have
been kept apart from him for 3S
years makes it all the more impera-
tive that l go to him now" said Mrs.
Amos Benedict Filler, a widow at q
local hotel. She was before her mar
riage Miss Anna Sutherburg, and
spent the first 81 years of her life in
the belief that she was Miss Gertrude
Lawson daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Lawson of Providence and
Watertown, N. Y.
X my father is John F. Sutherburg,"
she explained. HE disappeared from
Pc. tland, Me-, in 1885. l found out l
was foster child quite by accident.
A sister of my foster mother told the
mother of a girl who was to become
my schoolmate. In 1901, when was
81, the mother of that girl told me.
81 at once demanded the truth
from my foster parents. Don't think,
please, that 1 do not love and rev.
erence the memory of my foster faith
err. l loved him dearly and he loved
me. But from 1901 up to the time of
his death in 1911 he would tell me
nothing about my real father. My
foster mother, who is at present liv-
ing in WATERFOWL, n. Y. has told me
nothing about my real father beyond
the fact that 1 was legally adopted"
Mrs Filler said that since her mar
riage in 1905 she has carried on an
exhaustive search of every New Eng
land state and city in the hope of
finding out something definite as to
John F. Sutherburg.
In Providence she found a record of
her birth and her parents full names.
Her mother was Mary Louise Smith
of Worcester, who died when the
present Mrs. Filler was born. From
Mrs. Macley. mother of her school
chum, she learned of a sister, now
Mrs. Walter Fox of Brooklyn, the
wife of an insurance official.

T0DAY's BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair So frequently if it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving teaspoonful of canthrox
which can be obtained from any
druggist, in cup Of hot water.
This makes full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
1t to all sthe hair instead of just
to the top of the head This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand Of hair, chemically
dissolves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in it's action,
as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created. you will. find the
scalp is fresh. clean and free from
oandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and a soft fuffiness
mat makes 1t seem very heavy.-Adv.

FEDERAL RESERVES REVIEW

Orderly liquidation of commodi-
ties continues and price reductions
arc reaching the consumer in in
ereasing measure almost daily, par
ticuIarly with respect to food and
wearing apparel"
So begins the monthly review of
the business situation in New Eng
land by the Federal Reserve Bank.
It also finds that whereas there Is in
certain lines less buoyancy than last
month, there is an unmistakable con-
fidence due to the conviction that the
passage of time is bringing the coun-
try nearer to some sort Of an adjust
ment of trade relations with Europe,
likewise a source of qualification
that "as month follows month dur
ing this period, no general business
disaster or widespread distress has
yet occurred to shake the economic
structure"
Two important conditions prece-
dent to the laying of enduring foun-
dations for the future stability of
business" are noted, namely, liquida-
ton and deflation, which have been
orderly, and an increasingly salts
factory banking situation with re-
serves augmented and loans decreas-
ing"
There has been a slight slowing
down in the descent of commodity
Wholesale prices; some of the large
steel manufacturers are quoting
lower prices. but there is almost no
exception to the general recession of
commodity prices throughout the
world
Retail merchants are generally
experiencing little difficulty in OBJ
tanning sizeable stocks of goods at
low price levels, but there is develop
ing q tendency for some wholesale
prices to slightly advance upon re-
newed activity" z
Retail trade in ;, Boston during
January was practically on par with
that Of year ago, while the amount
OF business done by stores in other
representative New England cities
shows considerable falling off. There
has lately developed some scarcity
of large amounts of certain wholesale
goods of fine quality at rock bottom
prices and merchants accordingly find
it necessary to follow up to some ex-
tent in order to insure prompt de-
liveries"

States was III per cent greater in
1920 than in 1918, according to in
complete returns received by the

mate is based upon a comparison of
the output of 11S identical mills, rep
resenting about Al per cent of the
total consumption in these states.
Should this percentage of increase
hold true for the remaining mills
the total consumption for the past
year would equal 6,1s0,000 cords, and
exceed the previous maximum of 1917

Organized labor very properly
raises it's protest against the ruth
less persecution and slaughter of
labor unionists in Soviet Russia"
No A hour law over there. Work or
be shot, is the Soviet way Of getting
done what little work is done. And
yet, organized labor will do well to
bear in mind that, these conditions in
Russia exist because the industrial
workers set out to rule, as they are
now trying to do in this country.
