Seward, GRAY HAIR BECOMES _ DARK AND BEAUTIFUL Look ysars younger! Try Grandma’s recipe of Sage and Sulphur and nobody will know. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble- some. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened vour hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush’ with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully, dark, thiek and glossy, and you look younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Campound is a delightful toilet requisite.

RETURNS AT DAWN UNANNOUNCED Guardsmen Back From Bridgeport— Expect Orders Soon, Where, No One Knows. Their home-coming unheralded. the Thirteenth company, Coast Artillery corps, Captain F. E. Withey, return- ed here Wednesday morning at 2.30 on a special train from Bridgeport. The command had been absent abont one month. The return of the company was a big surprise to Danizlson people as a whole, although there had been un- verified rumors during Tuesday night that the company was expected back. The men were looking fine and fit and the weeks of guard duty they have been doing scems to have hard- ened them and given them an even more soldierly bearing than when they went away. After detraining, the men went di- rectly to the state armory. In_ due time the company was dismissed for the night and as many as possible of them went to their homes. This was impossible for the out of town mem- bers of the company. During the forenoon the men as- sembled for roll call and in the aft8r- noon were dismissed and allowed to g0_to thele homes. ‘There is hardly a man in the com- pany who does not feel that the stay here will be brief. Orders are ex- pected in a day or two that will again take the company away, but where no one here know: The guesses on the proposition range all the way from =ome of the forts in the New London district to Panama, and one guess is as good as another. It seems probable, however, that the company will go out the next time for assignment at some coast artillery post. This theory is based on thetx- tended preparations that are being made to protect gistal points of im- portance. During the month the company has been away its members have been in the service of the state. When the command goes out the next time it is expected promptly to be mustered into the federal service, as is being done with other state troopbs called out within the last few days. The prospect of service under war conditions is expected to stimulate in- terest in reeruiting. ‘The company now numbers over 70 men, but many more men are needed to bring the command up to war strength, now made 150 men to a company. A doz- en re¢ruits this week shows that there is interest in the service here. and that a sufficlent number of members may be secured without drafting, which ean be resorted te if necessary under a recently enacted state law, all names on_ the military enrollment of Killingly being subject to such a drawing.

Second In Department and Price $3,041—For Providence Street Sec- tion. The common council of Putnam has decided in favor of the purchase of G. M. C. fire truck, equipped with fire apparatus furnished by the American- Lafrance company. ~This will be the second automobile fire truck in the city’s department and will be located in_the Providence sfreet section.
