How to Be Rid of Dangerous Dandruff It you have dandruff you must get riG of it quick—it's positively danger- ous and will surely destroy your hair if you don’t. Dandruffy heads mean faded, brit- tle, gray, scraggly hair that will not grow—then you are bald and nothing can help you. The only sure way to abolish dand- ruff for good is to destroy the germ that causes it. To do this quickly, surely, and safely there is nothing as effective as Parisian sage, which you can get at any good druggists such as The Lee & Osgood Co., Who guarantees it to keep away all dandruff, stop itch- ing scalp and falling-hair, and stimu- late a new growth, or the cost, small as it is, will be refunded. Parisian sage is a scientific prepara- tion that supplies all hair nu&;——nn antiseptic liquid, neither sticl or greasy, easy to use, and daintily per- fumed.

He had designs on the prize awarded last Sunday at the Norwich Fish and Game outing at Gardner Lake for the largest fish brought in for the day, but his plans were foiled by a snapping turtle. Here are the facts, as the fisherman tells them. 2 While on a fishing excursion at the lake Saturday hé caught a two and a half pound bass. After he landod tie fish he decided that he would ring it in for the prize at the fish and game outing the next day. So he“safe- ly” meored the heavyweight in a tiny pool for the night. When Be weént to the pool Sunday to get the bass, lo and behold, the fish was gone. “A snapping turtle Stole it” he says and when asked how he knewsit was a snapping turtle that dined on his -prize, he comes -bLack, “Belcause I saw his tracks around the pool.” — e WAS LIEUT. GOVEENOR QUALIFICD TO PRESIDE? The question has been raised at Hart- ford whether* Lieutenant Governor Charles A. Templeton was qualified to Préside at the meeting of the board of control Tuesday when Governor Lake Was in the state, and in fact in the capitol, when the board was in session. Some time ago Attorney General Frank E. Healy gave an opinion that the lieu- tenant governor could not preside at the board's meetings when tha'" governor ::l noi prevented .from occupying the Licutenant Governor Templeton did not know that Governor Lake was in the State. He hadibeen dcting governor at Governor Laké's réquest since the gov- ernor left on his vacation in the begin ning of this month, and he had no oc- casion to think that the govertior would be at the capitol on Tuesday. It i6 possible that the situation may in- Volve the validity of the action taken by ‘the board of comtrol, and that to make it valid withdut a questisn ratifi- cation at the next meeting of the board may be necessary. Only routine mat- ters were considered at the board’s meeting. —_— ‘COLLECTIONS FOR STATE HOSPITAL INMATES $175,637.27 Collections on account of inmates at the Norwieh State Hospital for the In- €ane for the vear endinz June 30th last amouated to. $175,637. accord- ing to the annual réport of Raymond E.
