The big stock was generally, disturbed, clothing, shirts, neckties, ‘gloves, sweaters, raincoats,| shoes and ‘other articles were strewn bout and all.was confusion. Investi- gation was made by Mr. Sutcliffe and Louis Solomon, #e proprietor, who ar- rived soon after the storé was opened. While the exact quantity and nature the stock stolen could not be fully ed, it 18 known that five ‘full sults of clothes or overcoats were tak- en, as there were five empty hook racks that held . suits or overcoats n‘n the store was closed Friday night. Two full trays of cuff links, dozen sets, received Friday, were from the show case trays and besides Cheney tles, gloves, gar- llars, armlets, &ic. Two pairs sizes 7 and 7 1-2, one pair other tan, were aiso o , flannel shirts and am- derwear were taken. = As two suit “edses are also missing, it is presumed mt. after fitting themselves complete, burglars packed the rest of the booty In the suit cases.

The ladder was first placed sgainst the window nearest Canal street. but as it did not yield readily, though the sash was cut a knife, the base of operation was ed to ‘the other window.

In his will he desired that he be mot buried in Westerly, but as it was a desir® and not a request, the executor determined that it was' best that the be buried in the family plot | at River Bend.

Entrance to the office building was made through the cellarway. There was about $100 in cash in pay envelopes taken by the burglars, but a tin box containing money was not disturbed. It is evident that the watchman was so timed as to be quite a distance from the office when_the safe was blown open and that he was probably shadowed while the safe crackers were at work.

To Darken the Hair and Restore Nat- ural Color. It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although It is possible to do both. Our grand- mothers understood the secret. They made a “sage tea,” and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandfothers in using “sage tea” for their hair and are fast following suit. The present genefation has the ad- vantage of the, past in that it can get a_ ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy. As a scalp tonic and color re- storer this preparation s vastly supe- Tior to the ordinary “sage tea” made by our grandmothers, The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's S: and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand- Tuff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and healthy, ~gives the hair strength color and beauty, and makes it grow. ¥ Get a 50 cent bottle from your drug- gist today.
