streaked and scraggly, when it falls out badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots ehould be immediately vi- tolized and properly nourished. To do_this quickly, safely and at_little expense, there is nothing so effective as Parisian sage (liquid form) which you can get at Lee & Osgood Co. and all good drug and toilet counters. It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff— stop scalp itch and falling hair and promote a new growth or money re- funded. It's in great demand by dis- criminating women because it makes the hair so soft, lustrous, easy to ar- range attractively and appear heavier than it really is. A massage with Parisian sage is a real delight—easy to use, not sticky or greasy, and delicately perfumed—an antiseptic liquid free from dangerous ingredients and guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp. 1f you want good looking hair and plenty of it by all means use Parisian sage—a little attention now insures beautiful hair for years to come.—Adv. —_— LEGAL NOTICES.

The little boy smled in his sleep that night As he wandered to Twilight Town: And his face lit up with a heavenly light Through the shadows that drifted down, But he woke the next morning with tear-stained eye In the light of the gray dawn's gleam And out of the stillness we heard him cry, “I've lost my dream—my dream.” And he told us then, in his childish way, Of the wonderful dream he'd known: He had wandered away from the land of play To the distant land of the Grown: He had won his share of the fame and fight In the struggle of toil and men, And he sobbed and sighed in the breaking light, I want my dream again!” As the years passed by the Little Boy srew Till he came to the Land of the Grown; And the dream of his early youth came true, The dream that he thought' had flown; Yet once again he smiled in his sleep— When those near by might have heard him weep, “I want my dream—my dream.” For he dreamed of the Yesterdays of Youth, And the smile of a mother's face A hearth of old-time faith and truth In the light of an old home place He had wen his share of the fame and fight In the struggle and toil of men— Yet he sobbed and sighed in the breaking lizht, “I want my dream again!" —Grantland Rice.

GLADYS PECKHAM, Age 12. Lebanon. Clairvoyance. It any of the Wide-Awakes are planning to have i good time Hal- lowe'en night here is something that is especially enjoyable for that eve- ning of mystery, because it aiways proves mystifying to the uninitiated. Take some particular person who: un- derstands the game to play the role of | medium, and send her from the room, an empty chair being réserved for her next to the person who is in coliusion with her. When she leaves the room some word is determined upon by the rest of the party, for instance “horse,” end when the medium returns. her task is to tell what the word is with- cut any questions. She is summoned, sits down next to her friend, and while all present are seated in a circle, with jomned hands, the one who was n the room and hence. knows the word, spells it to the medium by tapping with a fin- ger upon the palm of her hand, the number of taps being equal to the number of the letter in scquence in the alphabet. .For instance, eiznt taps for the H, then fifteen taps for the U, ete. When the medium announces. the word successfully, those not knowing the secret cannot understand it at.all, and it is even more mystifying when it is explained that it is basec upon some peculiar mental action.

Probabiy the humming bird id noi rotice the children he was intenc only upen escaping from the narrow boun- Gasies of the living room to his be- loved out of doors. So he flew 10 the window, the brightost spot in the rcom, and there with his longz ~ will pressed against the pane, he -moved up and down, like a huze imprisoncd fly. With delight the children wateh- ed’his wings in motion so rapid as to loos like gauze. After a while - the mother found a way to free the unhappy prisoner. She brought a tumbler which sae placed over the restiess flutterer against the window: then--he- genily -inserted a sheet of paper between the tumbler and- the pane. But before she: released him she calied the family to take one long, last look at-the charming captive. His back was of a green bronze color and his throat was a gorgeous ruby color. Even more . wonaerful were the feathers which ciothed tie tiny bird, Humming birds are the midget birds —tinier than all others. So tender and weak are their feet that they can- support - the little bodies, and the birds spend almot all their time upon the wing. Gracefully they poise before the lily and the honey- suckie, while they sip the Haquid sweets. But like most birds they seek a varied diet: they gather smail in- sects and spiders, as well as nectar, from their favorite flowers. In the United Statss, east of the Mississippi, the ruby throat is the cniy humming bird, but he is famil- iar to almost every boy anl girl from to Maine to Florida and west great Father of Waters. Humming birds’ nests are fine materials and are skilfu the cealed by their resemblance to the branch on which they rest. In'each repose two tiny white eggs which are nearly_spherical.

The different parts of our flag are the field, the stars, and the stripes. its colors are red, white and blue. The red stands for valor or coura-s; white for purity, and blue for justice. On the: flag are forty-eight stars which stand for the fortv-eight states in the Union.. The thirteen stripes stand for the thirteen originai colo- nies. Our flag is often called The Star Spangled Banner, Old Glory, The Ban- ner of Liberty, The Starry Banner, {and Flag of the Free. We should love our flag «nd be true to-if, as it reminds us of the. blood which was shed for our country.

Barbara’s Birthday Cake. “Tt will need egs, a cup of sugar. some flour and other things,” mother said as she got the mixing bowi in which to make Barbara’s birthday cake. “It needs sugar, too, for the frost- ing, and please make very thick frost- ing, mother, dear,” Barbara begged. She was standing beside the kitchen table, watching, for she wae going to be six years old in just a few days. “I am afraid that the cake and the frosting together will use up all our sugar,” mother said as she came back. “l wonder,” she went on, with" just'a little bit of worry in her voice, “if we couldd manage with two eggs instead of four? Eggs cost 50 much now.” “Well, we have to make a birthday. cake, don't we, mother, because I al- waye cut it and share it?” Blrbu'l good deal of attention. said.

But when the day was almost over and it grew dark, Parbara began to wish that she could see the six pink lighted candles shining for her birthday.

We went gldiing swiftly down the incline and then landed into the water with a splash. There was a 1nan standing in back and I wondered if he ever fell out while steering. The next dav I visited Rocky Potnt. 7t was_ almost like Crescent Park, al- thoush the bathing was not as good. The best of all was my trip to New- port. .1 went on the steamer and it Was a very nleasant ride. There was excellent .bathinz. On mv way back it Was slightly fogzy and we had to be very careful because of the Ger- man submarines. I stayed there a week visiting vari- ous places of interest and also the theatres. Saturday 1 returned home at six- thirty. NELSON HULME, Age 15. Baltic. Dorothy's Vacation. Dear Uncle Jed: Now that I am back in achool, 1 think I will write you a letter about my vaeation. I will begin at_the beginning, away back in the - prehistoric days of the summer, when I helped with the hay- ing. It was rather fun, but it was iard work, too. It wasn't especially exciting. In'fact, I didn't fall off the hay load once. We saw some espe- cially big spiders and some especially long snakes. My manner of dressing was considered nothing short of bar- barous. We had splendid weather and finished in two weeks. The next excitement was fishing_at Crystal lake. It was a perfect day (at least, 50 I was told)—cloudy, you know, and the ripple was just right. We started early and fished till noon with-no luck at all. - After ‘dinner we all . felt better and went at it again. We girls had never fished before and, of course, we had to overcome our eympathy for the worms, and the fish in case we caught any. We had an unusually leaky boat, which needed -a We soaked our shoes for a while and finally aban- to! and he must Mave feen Mmteligent, tbo, for at least he knew when a hook was properly baited.. ‘The other girls caught some, too..

Have you done a great deal of war work? We ‘had a war garden which we worked in once a week. Then we had cannings every week which we at- tended with very creditable regularity. We .picked a good many huckleber- ries, and played tennis, knit and went on picnics and did lots of silly stunts such as going two miles after dark for_pink pond lilies. ‘Well, s0 much for my vacation. I'm sure I've never had a. more busy or happy one. DOROTHY E. HORTON. Pomfret Center. The Poor Little Rich Girl. Dear Unicle Jed: Not having written to the Wide Awakes in a great while, T thought thev might like to hear about my trip to Watch Hill this summer, We left Plainfield about .9 o'clock and went to Jewett City and thence to Voluntown and over Pendleton Hill to Westerly, and from Westerly to Watch Hill. half past 10, and we called at .the Missquineut Inn, an Indian name which means silent waters. There were a great many wealthy people from New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Washington, and among them was a little girl from New York with her nurse. "She was worth mil- lions which her mother left her when she died. She died when she was baby. Her father was over in France in the United States army, and she received a letter from him every weel but her nurse was so stri and with no mother or father to. love her, they called her “the poor littie rich girl.” We visited the beach in the after- noon and went in bathing and had a vel pleasant time. We stopped at the Japanese souve- nir store and bought a few souvenirs and then started home after having had a very good time and a nice auto ride arrivng home about haif past 6.

I have one war The Busy Bee. Dear Uncle Jed: Let us watch the husy bees as they pass to and fro.from their hive. First of all we see soms half-dozen around the door. They are there to warn oft intru- ders. If we approach too near the ront of the hive, one of these sentries will dash forward with an angry buzz, ang, if.we do not wisely step out of the way and take the hint, the brave little soldier will soon roturn with help from the guardroom to enforge the command. There are three substances required in the hive, polien or bee-bread, the 1000 of the young bees; wax to make the combs; and oney for support of the community The bees that are passing and re- pairing the Sentries are not all laden alike. Some of them have little Yel- low ‘or Ted tufts on their legs, others hive nome. But all that return are lnden. Those With tufts on their iegs have been collecting pollen from flow - ers. Thé honey-gatherers carry their storés in_their tliroats. To _understand how the pollen is carried, we should examme a bee's hind leg with a microscope. The upper joint is flattened, and its edges are surrounded with stiff hairs, which form a sort of hasket. \Wnen a bee enters a fower, it takes a plunge into the. pollen. The pollen is brushed down into the little basket, till a good sized ball is formed. 1f the bee cannot complete its load in one flower, it will atways scelc out another flower of .the same kind. It will not mix the pollen of two different kinds_of flowers. The honey-gathefer and' the wax- gatherer draw in the sweet juices from flowers by thelr trunks. The trunk serves as a mouth. The liquid passes through this into the throat, and is thus carried to the hive. We had two hives of wild nees that we had got out of tress, but they all died. CLARENCE HATHAWAY, Age 14.

The arrest led to the discovery that the automo- bile in which the sailors arrived had been stolen in New York city, Oct. 17. Chief Brown communicated” with the Neéw York police department, report- ing the recovery of the stolen automo- bile and awaited patiently for instruc- tions from that source.

This case has been discontin- ued. ¥ As they were about to be committed to the Kingston jail, information came from New York that an officer’ and the owner of the automobile would be ir.

The detective explained 1na: the de- v in action was due to the difficul getting Mr. Holt to come to West- erly and identify the car. He is em- rployed in war work in Washington and would prefer to remain in Washing- ton rather than to lose time and_mon- ev, 100, in making the trip to West- eriy. According to the detective, Mr. Holt did not seem to mind the loss of the car, and came with reluctance to_recover his property. The sallor lads say they sold the spare tire, val- ued (at $6¢ at a New'London garage for §3. Detective Husser said the car had heen previously stolen last Augusr and the thief is awaiting sentence. At that me the engine number, and other numbers of identification were ciuuncu 2nd that some time was spent in sat- ving the police department whether the ‘car held in Westerly was really Mr. Holt's car, althouzh it more. the correct registry ‘number plate. The car was readily idertied by Mr. Holt, and the cases azainst Love and Johnson, ‘in_the Third district court were discontinued. With Mr. Hoit at the wheel, and Detective Hussey and the two sailors as passengers in the stolen cdr, start was made from West- eriy for New York at 8 o'clock \Wed- nesday mornin: Chief Brown {ried to collect the cost of feeding the sailors for a week pending action by the New York po lice department, but the detective did rot know of any fund available iut that purpose. The wealthy cne manufacturer made no_ offer to make ¥o0d the expense. It is cases of this kind where the fund created by the arrest fees allowed officer: the state is resorted to, and when not ade- quate the feed bills are settled from the private funds of the officer who happens to be on day duty during the feeding period.
