When you darken your hair with Bage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troubie- Nome, At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-toruse prep- aration, .mproved by the addition of other ingredients -called “Wyeth's Saga and Sulphur Compound.” You just dampén a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair dis- nappears, and, after another applica- tion or two, your hair becomes beau- tifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. Gray, faded hair, though no dis- grace, is a =ign of old age, and as w all desire a youthful and attractjve appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. this | | i i 1 i { | Walter : SPON {the home of Mrs. Harold Upson.

He was brought to trial in town here at the instance of the state authorities, and was found guilty when the evidence was presented, and giv- on the ahove fine, Of the costs $20, however, were remitted, because it was known that Mr. Martindale had teen an experienced driver, and had jhown no carelessness or recklessness ‘n driving the day of the accident. The LaGoy Case The second case, that of George .aGoy, was also one wherein the driv- P — S, T '-'-_E 'r had a slight accident and was later ound not to have an operator's li- cense. He figured in a slight accident in November, when in backing his car out of a driveway on West Main street, he- collided with another car. As matters, seemed to have been set- tled by the parties concerned, the town authorities took no action in this ~ase, but subsequent investigations by the state police resulted in the dis- covery that Mr. LaGoy had no opera. tor's Jicense and at their instance, he was brought to trial. He also receiv- ad a fine of $25 and costs, $20 of which was remitted for the same rea- sons as Mr. Martindale. Prosecutor Willlam Foren presented the state's case, Pythians to Celebrate Pythian lodge, No. 47, K. of P., will hold what is planned to be the big- gest Christmas celebration ever held in Plainville on December 30th. A magnificent tree will be erected in the Community theater and will be trim- med with all the usual trinkets used at Christmas. Al the children of Plainville, re gardless of race, creed or color, are invited to attend the celebration, The Pythian Sisters are making and filling stockings and one of them will be given to each child present. They will contain a toy, candy, nuts and fruit. The committee in charge har also a big surprise in store for al! present, but these plans are being kept absolutely secret. The management of the theater has donated a rip-roaring comedy to the committee as a starter for the enter tainment which is to be held in con- {Junction with the tree and Santa Claur in all his regalia has promised to be present to distribute the presents. his is one of the main reasons why the Pythians are ho!ding the celebra- Jtion on December 30th, so that old santa wiil have a chance to rest up ufter the strenuous days of delivering ltoys all over the world. Other fea- tures for the entertainment of the kid- dies are being p'anned, and the little tots will want for no fun while the festivities last. The exercises will be- gin promptiy at 6 o'clock in the eve. wing, and one of the clergymen of the town will be invitad to speak. The committee expects about 500 little wuests. In the evening, the local lodge wii! hold another celebration of a more private nature, when it will entertain the grand lodge officers in the lodge rooms. At the same time, the grand iodge .officers of the Pythian. Sisters will be present to join in the festivi- ties. This is entirely separate from the celebration for the kiddies, A donation banquet will be served to the Knights and their. wives or sweethearts and: to- the sisters and their husbands or beaus. An enter- «ainment of varied acts will be pro: sented and talks by the grand lodge ind local officers will be given. 'This is the gala day for local Pythians and it is expected that the entire member- ship will turn out for both occasions. Chimney Fire The local fire department was called out ahout 2:30 o'ciock Sunday morn- ing to extinguish a chimney fire in McNally's garage, more famillarly known as “Mack's” garage. When the fire eaters arrived, they found the chimney a mass of flames, but quick work on their part kept the damage !down. The fire was sald to have been caused by the soot from soft coal used | in the stove. Happy Four Dance The Happy Four wil give a private «dance in the Grange hall on Thurs- day evening. It is planned to have about 25 couple present, and a jolly JAme is expectéd. - Various costumes Iwill be worn by those attending and this is expeeted to be one of the so- cial events of the season.
