DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAR {Tse Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobobdy ‘Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for westoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grand- mother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and at- tractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this siraple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date nowaday, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition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 depended 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 another ap- plication or two, it becomes beautifully FOX'S i NOW SHAME ‘Rice to prove his statement. NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, MAYOR AND COUNCIL KILL CHANCES FOR TWO PLATOON, JUST NOW ANYWAY Mayor Vetoes and City Fath- ers Fail to Over-Ride His Action, Thus Effectually Smothering Measure. During the heated argument that followed the presentation, last night, of Mayor O. F. Curtis’ veto to the two platoon system for the fire depart- ment, Alderman John F. Gill of the First ward moved for adjournment and his motion was carried. The council having failed to over-ride the veto, no vote having been taken, the veto is legally sustained, and unless new elements enter into the c: or the council passes it again, there will be no double platoon for the de- partment this year. This was the opinifon expressed last night by Cor- poration Counsel John H. Kirkham when the matter was put before him by members of the council who thought their action had allowed the matter to stand neither approved nor disapproved. Paonessa After Mayor. Alderman A. M. Paonessa had called upon the mayor to tell whether or not he had respected the 10 day :lause in vetoing the measure. At the suggestion of the mayor, Alder- man F. R. Gilpatric in the chair, ruled the alderman out of order. The chair’s decision was downed on an appeal to the council. Corporation Counsel Kirkham'at the request of the council interpreted the ordinance to give the mayor 10 days and no more in which to act on the measure. Alderman Paonessa then asked the mayor when he received the resolu- tion and was referred to the city clerk who imparted the information that it was September 22. The al- derman then charged that the mayor stated in the afternoon that he had not vetoed the plan but would last night. He called upon Councilman During the disagreement the motion to ad- journ, which is not debatable, was put and carried. Disagreement Drawn Out. At the close of the meeting Al- derman Paonessa took Alderman Gil- patric to task for his ruling from the chair. He charged that the third ward alderman’s rulings were all wrong. In another group, Councilman B. C. Morey questioned whether the mayor had respected the ordinance or not and in several other groups of two or three members the question of what effect adjournment had on the measure was freely discussed for more than half an hour. The veto as presented by the mayor, follows: Mayor Reads Veto. “In regard to the change of ordi- nances to be put into operation for the installing of a two platoon sys- tem for which I shall present ., veto. I will state that I am a friend of the two platoon system and think ‘that it would operate for the benefit of the department. It would create a better morale and make better living condi- tibns for the firemen, especially for the married ones, and it should be put into effect as soon as the financial condition of the city will permit. As a member of the common coun- cil I voted several times for the in- crease of the salaries of the firemen. Up to the time of the opening of the war a permanent man was get- ting $2.60 a day as against $5.50 a day at the present time. The better- ment of the buildings and improved apparatus for the department always received my support, but as mayor of the city I have to take into consider- ation the wishes and welfare of the whole community, and it is my duty to consider and use my judgment as to what is best for the city as a whole, not for any certain class or any cer- tain department, and I cannot con- ceive why a reasonable person should not look.at it the same way, when thousands of people are without em- ployment, other thousands only on part time and people with large fam- ilies are not able to earn enough to secure food for their families, let alone clothing and rent. Under these conditions to place a burden of $75,- 000 to $85,000 .more a year on the public, in my opinion, is unfair and something that I cannot be a party to. Has Changed Mind. It has been thought from some re- marks and what has appeared in the papers that the proposed ordinance would be allowed to become a law and such at first was my intention. I thought it could only be temporary as the necessary steps to annul it are even now partially completed. The reason was that there were some doubts in my mind as to whether it would be proper for me to veto it, but in looking over the charter carefully it is now very clear to my mind, from a moral and legal standpoint, that it is right to do so. The city meeting is only a certain function that is pro- vided for in the charter and its pur- pose is to pass or reject or amend pro- positions, such as appropriations, real estate purchases pr sales, and approval or rejection of ordinances which your honorable body passes and it is peti- tioned to pass upon. Enumerates Reasons. The actual veto contained the fol- lowing reasons for his action: First—That on account of the severe business depression " at the present time the taxpavers, and that means in effect everybody that is a consumer, cannot afford to be taxed $75,000 to 000 per year in addition to other heavy burdens that they have to care for at this time. This increase would mean practically a matter of $5 per year for every family in the city of New Britain. Second—That no definite plan for the change in the department and the regulations therefor has yet been pre- sented and the department will cer- tainly require a new system for its operation if this plan be put into ef- fect. Third—That war wages should not MONDAY EVE. At Tabs’ Hall be paid to new and inexperienced men Fourth—That the ordinance passed would not provide a sufficient force to man the department efliciently at all times. Fifth—The pay for firemen should be based upon what would be expect- ed under normal conditions for future Want Gutters Cleaned. Residents of Osgvod hill reported that the gutters of that highway have not been cleaned in three years. They requested an annual cleaning. This and other matters of a somewhat sim- ilar nature were referred to the board of public works. A cesolution was presented recom- mending the issuance of $400,000 in school bonds. The matter was ap- proved by the board of finance and taxation and the calling of a meeting of the city meeting bond was advocat- ed. The resolution was adopted. A second resolution recommended the acceptance of the appraiser’s re- port on the State Normal school for $116,102, minus depreciation of 2 per cent. agreed upon. 'Che city is to con- tract for the purchase as soon as the state agrees to the figure. The reso- lution was adopted. Will Issue Street Bonds. Favorable action was taken on a resolution for the issuance of street bonds to the amount of $50,000. The vote will be reported to the City Meet ing board for ratification. The council similarly approved a resolution to transfer funds to the amount of $20,000 originally appro- priated for street pavement to the board of charity. The council accepted the suggestion of the finance board that moneys re- turned from the state after the depor- tation of Spaniards be turned over to the board of charities. About $10,000 is involved. Approval was voted the payment of $1,380, $132, $150 and $14 to steam- ship lines in connection with’recent deportations. Payment of $1,100 on a contract for the layout of South End park and $3,000 for land purchased of Charles Smith, having been made, approval was voted. An ordinance to increase the bond of police and fire board chairmen from $1,000 to $2,500 was adopted. A resolution disapproving the draft- ing of an ordinance ruling bootblacks Off the street was voted. Will Buy Automobile. The water board petitioned for the right to buy a Ford car for $513. Chairman W. B. Rossberg explained the need for a car. Alderman F. R. Gilpatric moved that the request be granted and the motion was carried. Chairman W. F. Brooks of the park board, appeared in the interests of a resolution to contract for the service of a landscape architect in laying out the Stanley Quarter Park at a cost of $5,700. On Alderfman Gilpatric’s .mo- tion, the contract was approved. The park board asked power %o buy land for the extension of the South End park at a cost of $11,760. The three parcels considered and their costs are: August Herreander property, $3,750; Egiles Tinti property, $3,750; Assunta Maiella, $4,200. The council voted power to the park board to buy despite objections of Al- derman George H./Wells. Reports of the common council anent the laying of cinder and flag walks in various parts of the city was voted. May Reduce Salary. A recommendation was received that the salary of the health superintend- ent be reduced from $3,500 to $2,500. It was referred to the salary commit- tee. Favorable action was taken on a resolution to transfer §10,000 from the emergency to the ncidental account. The salaries committee was ordered by the council to look into the matter of cutting the pay of new men to be appointed to the fire department under the two platoon plan, which later fail- ed of passage.
