No announcement was made re- | .garding Mr. Hustis’ salary fn his new position. The Boston and Maine presidency has been currying an an- nual salary of $35,000, the same as Mr. Hustis has been recelving from the New Haven since last September. Old Railroad Man. \ Mr. Hustis, who is fifty years old and a native of New York, began his railroad career at the age of fifteen, as an office boy on the New York Central lines. In 1891 he was made trainmaster of the Hudson division and thereafter was steadily promoted to different positions. He was ap- pointed assistant general manager of the Boston and ,Albany railroad in 1907, becoming vice president in charge of the property two years later. He became a vice president of the New Haven railroad September 1, last, and since November 1 has been its president, Hustis Accepts Job, New York, July 8.—James H.

Until August 15. “Until August 15 I retain my pres- ent position as president of the New Haven and chairman of the board in the absence of Mr. Elliott, who is on a vacation. Until I assume the duties of the position to which I have been elected any further statement would hardly be in good taste. My relations with Mr. Elliott have been and are most cordlal and this step is not taken without much regret in sever- Ing my personal relations with him as well as with every officer and em- ploye with whom I have been asso- clated since September 1 last.” It is understood that no successor to Mr. Hustis is likely to be named for some time, if at all, as Mr. Elliott will in all probability act as president as well as chairman of the New Haven system, STRIKE 1S THREATENED.

If Hair Is Turning Gray, Use Sage Tea. Grandmother’s Recipe to Darken and Beautify Faded Hair. Here’s That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew- ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just an ap- plication or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thickness and lustre of your hair and remove dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with i and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another ap- plication it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abundant.
