There was harely a quorum present at the meeting and it was thought at 11 o’clock, when Councilman Re left the chamber foi short time, that it might be necessary to postpone ffirther action because of a lack of a quorum. The second ward- er soon returned however, and things continued until after 1 0 p. m, U der the head of unfinished Alderman Paones: moved that tabled Litke case be taken up. several months Litke has been striv- ing to ha his name cleared on the records of the lice commission. The commissioners, after he had left the service, he had never beon given had been discharged for the good of the service, he had never ben given a hearing and no serious charges had ever been preferred against him. Al- derman Paonessa then introduced a resolution in which he said that the council does not’ wish to interfere with the business of the police com- mission but in this case at least it feels that it is justified in giving some advice and making a suggestion. The resolution explained that Litke volun- tarily left the police department on June 30, having resigned voluntarily on July 27. He was automatically discharging himself, according to the | alderman’s interpretation of the char- ter and ordinances, when he acept- ed other employment. Yet on July ¢ the police commissioners met and in acting on the Litke case had it re- corded that he was discharged for the good of the service. Inasmuch as on July 5 the policeman was no longer in the city’s employ the commission- ers had no jurisdiction over him and no action regarding him could be tak en. The resoluton concluded by ask- ing the police hoard to change their records. The resolution was unani- mously passed. Municipal Adventures Discussed. Municipal adventures were once more discussed and under this head comes the arguments on the slaught- er house, the proposed municipal wood yard and the municipal farm committee. The special committee on uring a vood supply for the city recommended the expenditure of $5,- 000 to buy 500 cords of wood at $8.25 per cord, f. 0. b. New Britain. B0 , deputy fuel adminis- trator, plained that this a good figure and he expressed the opinion that there will be a coal shortage here this winter and today the city is short 6,000 tons of coal. Mr. Kil- and the committee advised the purchase of this wood and sug- gested that it be held for use in an emergency which would arise if there is @ bad fuel shortage this winter. Mr. Kilbourne explained that the fuel situation is undoubtedly bad and | there may be a coal shortage of from il at St. Luke's hospital in Jackson- | ville, Fla.

He said the schools are in a bad way for coal and their present supply will hardly carry la- ter than February. The schools might use this wood to advantage in case it was not sold otherwise, Mr. Kilbourne said. There then ensued a long debate on the wisdom of the cit ygoing into the wool business and | discussion was at length ended when it was voted to postpone action until the next meeting and in the meantime to try and see if some compromise ac- tion can not be taken. It is the hope of the council that the coal and wood dealers will see fit to handle this situation themselves. Alderman Curtis introduced anoth- er resolution calling upon the Muni- clpal Farm committee to immediate- ly sell all fixtures and utensils on hand and to then submit a final finan- cial statement to the council.

The facilitles at the slaughter house are inadequate for handling the large volume of work done there.

It is also suggested that the slaughter- rafged. This report called forth much discussion but the recommendation was adopted. Grade Crossing Discussion. The ancient matter of grade cross- ings in New Britain is again brought into the limelight. Councilman Wells recommended that the railroad com- mittee take up the alleged complaint that oftimes the gates at the Elm street crossing are lowered at mid- night and kept down for several hours. He said that Sergeant John- son of the police department had told him that on at least two occasions he had been compelled to raise the gates himself in order to let the patrol pass, and on investigation he had found the gate tender asleep.

On motion of Al- 'man O. F. Curtis the health de- partment was authorized to draw rom its unexpended balance of §8 )00 an amount not to exceed $3,000 to combat this plague any Want & 'y Boosts. The first of the annual petitions for 1 increases were received when a ition with about 20 names on it ceived. From the tax collec- or's office came a petition asking hat the colle s salary be raised romn $2,200 to $3,000, the deputy col- ctor from $850 to $1,200 and the clerk from $700 to $1,000.

The chamber of 'commerce has asked a new ordin- ance prohibiting anyone not regularly engaged in business in the city from having public auctiens after 6 o'clock in the afternoon. A fine not to ex- ceed $50 is recommended. The board of public works is in- structed to report at the next meet- ing on the cost and advisability of opening up the triangular section of land at the junctior of East, Dwight and Jubilee streets as a highway. At present this is in the form on an undeveloped park. The land is owned | by the Connecticut company but the council members seemed to feel that 1 it should te made into a highway as mensure against ac- a danger- a precautionary ous one.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don’t Stay Gray! Here’s a Simple Recipe That Anybody Can Apply With a Hair Brush. The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’'s time. She used it to keep her hair benatifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. by asking | Com- | pound is a delightful toilet requisite | I did 2 “Dicky, you must beliecve me. not ¢ pen your desk.
