Just a few applications will prove a revela- tion if your hair is fading, streaked |or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and | Sulphur recipe at home, though, is | troublesome. An easier way is to get a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage [and Sulphur Compound at anj drug | store all ready for use. This is the | old-time recipe improved by the ad- dition of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful. we all desire to retaln our youthful appearance and attractive- ness. By darkening yvour hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound, no one can tell. because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or sofe brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another ap- plication, or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delight toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, midigation or prevention of dis ease. Plainviile News| DEMOGRATS ANGLE FOR A GANDIDATE Leaders Fear Nomination for Rep- resentative Will Go Begging GALL CAUCUS FOR MONDAY Few Names Even Suggested—Will At- tempt to Pursuade Castle to Make the Run—Assessors Name Wheeler For Chairman. Members of the democratic town committee in toda the call for the party caucus to be held in the Town hall Monday evening admitted that they were at sea regarding the probable selection of their candidate for representative. There are as yet no candidates in the field but the com- mittee hopes the opportunity to make a bid for Plainville’s seat in the gen- eral assembly will not go begging. Joseph T. McCarthy’s name has been mentioned in connectiin with the nomination but the leaders amdit that issuing they have no assurance that he would | accept. Two years ago Mr. McCarthy declined to make the run and his friends declare that he would be un- willing to change his attitude at this time. An effort may be made to pur- suade H. A. Castle, chairman of the town committee, to take the nomins tion. He is regarded as the democrats’ best bet. That he would make a cap- able representative is admitted by the citizens in general regardless of their party affiliation. He would also poll a good vote no matter what choice was made by the republicans although the G. O. P. majority here makes the fight exceedingly difficult for the nominee of the followers of Wilson. The caucus will make a nomination | for judge of probate and Jjustices of the peace in addition to selecting its choice for representative. Machine Favors G. O. P. While the idea of substituting ma- chines for the Australian system of voting at the coming election origin- ated with democrats and socialists, the belief is held that if any party bene- fits are to b> Gesived from the change the republicans will be favored be- cause of {he normal majority which they hold and the fact that men un- familiar with the intricacies of the me- chanical apparatus which is to be used are liable to refrain from split- ting. Voting straight is a very easy matter on the machines as the opera- tor simply has to pull his party lever after entering the booth, and in other places it has been the rule that at least until the apparatus is in use for two or three elections split votes are comparatively few. As the number of republicans in Plainville is tar in excess of that of other parties, the G. O. P. should Lenefit most by straight voting. Con- sequently the outlook for the demo- cratic candidate for representative is not made any brighter by the intro- Guction of the machine. Unless Plainville voters learn how to manipu- late the machine with speed not ex- bibited in other places where th ap- paratus has been installed, or the re- publicans show a tendency to turn towards democracy, the throwing into the discard of the Australian ballot is bound to work towards the advantage of the G. O. P., this vear at least. Assessors At Work. Electing Frank T. Wheeler to serve as chairman, the board of assessors has made preparations to begin its ac- tivities in connection with the com- piling of the grand list for this year. The board will start at its work at once and the property owners will be called on to file statements of their taxable poss lists must be in the hands sessors by November 1st, tax- payers who fall to comply with the law losing the opportunity of appeal- ing to the board of relief in addition to having to pay on a ten per cent. increase for their negligence. The personnel of the board was not changed by the recent election, Mr. Wheeler, L. B. Tucker ad O. H. Rob- ertson continuing members. The boarq is not necessarily bi-partisan. Mr. Robertson is the only democratic member. He was elected on the re- publican ticket, the leaders of which party having expressed willingness to have him re-elected because of the excellent work he performed as a member of the board last year. Since the advent of the Rockwell- Drake company property owners have been inclined to place an in- creased valuation on thelr land owing to the demand for building lots. Whether the assessors will take a cimilar view is a matter for the future to take care of, the members of the board having taken no move yet in that direction. There is of course some speculation as to whether texpayers in filing their lists will Foost the valuation of their property t. compare with declarations made to prospective purchasers. Unless human rature has changed within year, however, not a great many of the land owners will take advantage of the opportunity to voluntarily in- crease their annual contribution to the town treasury. Extend Pavement Soon. Although the selectmen have not teen officially advised as to when the state highway commissioner and the Connecticut company acting in con- junction, will begin the work of ex- tending the permanent pavement area to the end of Whiting street, it is sald that an effort may bhe made to get the improvement started this fall. Owing to the scarcity of labor the original plan of having the pavement laid during the summer had to be given up and the possibility of hav- ing to delay until spring is also now sdmitted. The trolley people plan to put in new ties under their tracks and make some changes in the location of the rails before the paving contractors | begin their part of the improvement, The expense is to be borne jointly by the state and the trolley .company although the town may contribute | towards having the pavemet extended from curb to curb, providing Com- missioner Bennett is able to convince the selectmen of the advisibility of mking the improvement more com- plete.

This harmless blessing will digest anything you eat without the slight- est discomfort and overcome a sour, gassy stomach In five minutes. Tell your pharmacist to-let you read 50-sent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why It makes indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relleves at once such miseries as belching of gas, eructations of sour undigested food, nausea, headaches, dizziness, constipation and other stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion and dys- pepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the comon every-day cures ad- vertised that they have about made up their minds that they have some- thing else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of nervousness, gastritis, ca- tarrh of the stomach or cancer. This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach poison, which putrefy the digestive tract and Intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with nause- ous odors, A hearty appetite with thorough digestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the stomach, is waiting for you as soon as vou in conquered. decide to try Pape's Diapepsin. of | shoes at I ' | | | the formula plainly printed on these | 1 83.50. | Prices CONGRESS ENDS, x., Oct. lz—ine annue congress ol the American frison as soclauou ended 10aay.
