GRAY HAIR BECOMES DARK AND BEAUTIFUL Look years younger! Try Grandma’ recipe of Sage and Suiphur and nobody will knew. Almost everyone knows that Bage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- sd, 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 hothe, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any Irug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sul- your Compound.” You will get a large sottle of this old-time recipe improved »y the addition of other ingredients, it very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one mn possibly tell that you darkened rour hair, as it does It so nhaturally ind evenly. You dampen a sponge or joft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray bair disappears, and after another ap- tion or two, your hair becomes utifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger, Wyeth's Bage and Sulphur Compound is a deiightful totlet requisite. It s not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

Barry of 36 Cliff Street came very suddenly to a close Tuesday evening at 9.15 o'clek. Mrs. Barry had been a sufferer of late from heart disease but was about the house as usual early in the eve- ning and had noticed a pronounced smell of burning soot. Upon investiga- tion she found a large deposit of soot on fire in the chimney. The excite- ment caused return of an old aggra- vation of asthma and coupled with heart failure she passed away, with her children and husband by her side. Mrs. Barry was born in Willimantie 62 years ago and will be remembered by the older residents. About 38 years ago Mrs. Barry, who was Miss Kath- erine Moriarty of Willimantic, was united in marriage to James H. Barry in Norwich by the Rev Fr. Shahan. During the last four months she has suffered the loss of her two sisters and this has undermined her health. She leaves beside her husband, these children, Mrs. Tracy R. Burdick and Mrs. Eleanor Batry and a brother, Patrick Morlarty of Willimantie, Mrs. Barry's attention was always centered in her home and to them she will be sorely missed. Her legion of friends will miss her and will be sad- 1y shocked by her sudden, though very peaceful death. Mrs, B. ¥. Jones After an illness with pneumonia, Mary E. Clark, widow of B. F. Jones and mother of Rollin C. Jones of this eity, died Thursday, April 27th, at her home in_Collinsville. z — Mrs. Jones was born in New Hartford 76 years ago.

BARNES, Republican Nominee for Mayor, Judge John Holyoke Barfies was an- nounced to be the republican nominee for mayor and a republ.can victory at the polls in June was predicted at an enthusiastic republican get-togeth- er dinner at the Wauregan house at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Among the 100 attending the dinner were a score of republican women and two of ths Speakers were women, Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell of this city, and Miss Alice Phelps of Hartford, who has spoken in some of the political campaigns in New York. The accomplishment of Mayor H. M. Lerou's administration in the past years were heaftily commended and when the mayor was called on to speak he voiced his warm tnanks for the cooperation of city departments and committees that had materially assist- ed in bringing about such results. Rev. C. H. Ricketts said grace at the opening of the dinner and Judge H. H. Pettis, chairman of the republi- can town committee, was the capable toastmaster. In his opening remarks he expressed his pleasure at seeing such a good gathering of the repre- sentative men and women of Norwich, which was naturally to be expected at & republican gathering, and he spoke of the primary things that the party has always stoo dfor, the liberty of the individual, subject to the weifare of the whole country. This it has al- ways stood for in the nation and the city, and perhaps never more so than in the past two years in Norwich. Accomplishments in Lerou Term After a well rendered duet, The Ris- ing Tide (Caldicot), by Mrs. E. A, Harris, oontraito, anq Eben Learned, tenor, with Miss Olive Linton as ac- companist. Toastmaster Pettis intro- duced Prosecuting Attorney Lee Roy Robbins to speak upon Mayor Lerou's administration. So much had been do- ing in the past two years, said Mr. Robbins, that it was quite a task to compress it all into a short talk. One of the first problems that confronted Mayor Lerou was the police pension fund that had lost jts source of rev- enue when the saloon license fees were 00 more. Mayor Lerou secured the con- sent of the police to put 2 per cent, of their wages into the maintenance of the fund so that the benefits that were paid from it might be continued. The gas and electric commission fur- nished another problem. In the past ten years there had been no more in- dependent body in the city. In one way or another they had become so independent that they didn’t feel bound to give information of their doings to the mayor, the common council or to the citizens. Distrust and even sus- picion, of them had grown up on the part of the citizens. Previously mayors had avoided this troublesome situa- tion and one had been told that it was none of his business what the gas and electric commission was do- ing. But in time the composition of the commission changed and when it got into difficulties in war times, it came to the people asking their sym- pathy. In his administration Mayor Lerou formulated a list of questions, which the gas and electric commis- sion answered, distrust was removed and better feeling has existed ever since, One of the meanest situations that ever confronted a mayor was the Jit- ney situation on Franklin square. The Jitneys and busses were crowding out the trolleys, locking traffic and mak- ing the square dangerous. But this was done away -with by ordinances that took initiative and spuni. When the federal government was unable to handle the saloon situation. the Iocal police made short work of it. Then as soon as we had gotten rid of the saloons we discovered that our city water wasn't fit to drink. There had been pilfering from the watershed and contamination of the water. In conse- quence 2 chlorinating plant was built and suits were instituted against the culpable party. Mr. Robbins spoke of the 12 inch water main that had been put throygh Water street, the conmnection of the city water with the Norwich state hospital and the four new pieces of modern fire apparatus that had been bought. The first had been talked of for many years, but it remained for this administrationi to give this pro- tection from fire to the business dis- trick. The line to the state hospital had given the city a good customer and had been of great benefit to the hospital. There had been consistent and per- manent improvement in the streets, North Main street, Water stréet, She- tucket street and two sections of West Main street, as well as an agreement with the state for the improvemerit from Preston bridge to Fox hill at small expense to the city. There has been unanimous approv- al, said Mr. Robbins, of the many ap- pointments that the mayor had had to make and his establishment of regu- lar office hours had been a pleasing innovation. The difficuit Mae Rich- mond case had beén settled in a satis- factory way and another financial matter that had been handled better than ever before was in asking bids on money that the city wanted to bor- row. This had been a busifiess méthod that had secured the loan at 4 3-4 per cent instead of a higher rate. Now this year the city is to close its fi- nancial year with a real, hard cash balance on hand to carry over to next year. Citizens and taxpayers all have reason to cengratulate themiselves up- on the accomplishments of the pres- ent administration. Mrs, Mitehell Speaks. Mrs. Frank A. Mitehell was introduced as the next speakbr Dby Toastmaster Pettis. In a brief, but interesting way, she told why shé Was a republican, say- he nad inhierited a love for the ¥ Idied it for its hie- 5 that the country has o e republican party more often than it Has < ihie other. She said children. She closed by reading a clever skit on politics written by Helen Rowland, wife of Frederick K. Noyes, of New York, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Noyes of this city. Some Republican History. Miss Alice Phelps, of Hartford, fol: lowed Mrs. Mitchell 1n a ten minute talk that gave an informing sketch of the hi tory of the rejublican party and its cardinal priniciples. Miss Pheips was an éntertaining speaker and used witty il- lustrations in the course of her talk, She pointed out thaf the essentials held by the republiean party at its formation in 1859 wers & strong national govern- ment, opposition to slavery and tariff for protection. Since the Civil war, Cleve- land and Wilson have been the only dem- ocrats out of the fourteen presidents in that time. The first democratic tarift appeared under Cleveland but it was a sectional tariff. In his second adminis- tration it appeared again and again was a sectional tariff -which he réfised to sien. It is a fhct that the tariff pro- tects the American standard of living. Miss Phelpe commended Mrs. Mitchell's advice that women should study the good points of thelr party and teach other women. Under Wash- ington the republican party made this country. Under Lincoln preserved it and it will be under republfean admin- istrations that it will be contlnued. Mayor Lerou Responds Mayor Lerou was called upon Ly the toastmaster, responding with words of praise for the republican town committee on the success of the get-togather. More of the spirit of get-together is needed in Norwich, in business, in civics, and in so- cial life. The mayor said there was glory enough to go round all the members of the administration and he acknowledged the loyal supizort he had received from all departments and committees. e had one thought in mind, he sald, to give the city & business administration to do what is best for all. His policy had been for permanent work on the roads and if this can be continued for another two years It will then be possible to take up the work of the side streets. There had heen much work to do on the trunk lines be- cause of what had been left undone the two years before. He thanked one and all for the suppor* that had been given him and predicted republiean victory in the city on June § Annotnees Jadge Barnes Candidacy Toastmaster Pettis called on Judge Barnes, saylng he had the pleasure of an nouncifig that the judge would be the re publican candiddte for mayor in the June election. Judge Barnés resnonded briefls, expres- #ing his pieasu e at hearing Miss” Pheips speak, and made some Witty references to local events and expressed confiderce in 4 republican victory at the city elec- tien. An orchestra played during the dinner hour. EDWARD MORRIS' RECITAL DELIGHTS NORWICH AUDIENCE An audienee of something oyer 200 fell quits in love with Edward Morris last night at his piano recital given in Slater hall under the auspices of the Norwich Music association. He had his audience with almost from the first bars of his opening number, Mendelssohn's Prelude in E minor. Repeatedly recalled to the platform, he was forced after his second Chopin group to respond With an encore, giving Chopin's Waltz in G flat major, and at the elose of the recital his audl- ence refused to budge from thelr seats until he had granted them two more en- cores, for which he played Beethoven- Rubinstein’s Turkish March and Liszt's Liekestraume. Mr. Morris is an artist with a simple, straightforward stage presence, quite guiltless of the affectalons and tempera- mental mannerisms so frequently di played by concert artists, and especially by performers on the piano. Mr. Morris’ work is eharacterized by pronounced sin- cerity; he mever for one moment con- descends to play to the gaileries, and one feels certain from the clean cut way in which he renders each phrase and detail that he plays the score with scrupulous accuracy and fdelity. His rendering of Beethoven's Minuct in E flat was ‘done with extreme delicacy, the dainty tneme s vae mmuce cEIng de- lightfully given. In Ecossaises, the last number of the Beethoven group, the con- tagious impetus and fascinating dash of the constantly récurring main theme was most pleasingiy done. His tempo in the Marche Funebre of Chopin’s Sonata in B flat major was timed just exactly right, his crescendo was most impressive, and the beautiful singing tone of the middle théme was most effective and soothing, but never overdone or muwkishly senti- mentai; aml the Presto (wind over the graves) played immediately, without in- terraption, after the Marche gained a significance wholly fmpossible when the movement s rendered as a separate and detached muriser. Of the second Chopin group. perhaps the Nocturne with its quiet and well marked rythm, and the Polonaise in A fiat with s dash and great crescendoes the most effective. Mi. Morris is instinct with rythmm and whether in nuance, variation or re- tarded passage, his rythmm is always clear and certain ciated with deilghtful distinctness, quite exceptional: the melody for an instant lost nor is i confused with subordinate themes or ac- companiments. Mr. Morris gave those in his audience an evening of great pleas- ure, and many complimentary remarks about the recital were overheard in the aisies as thé audience was rather re- luctantly leaving the hall. His phrasings, enun- are FOUNDRY CORPORATION HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING A. A.

Dr. Roberts introduced Mr. Cramer, If we get our bearings there 1s no doubt but that we will complete the Work we undertook to do two years ago, sald Mr .Cramer. The speaker said he had been troubled by the attitude the People hive taken in regard to the pro- hibition law adopted two years agn, We undertook a big job, he said.

Tha Most unsightly thing we can have is a & foundation with no bullding on it. The prohibition supporters wrote into ths Constitution the 18th amendment. Then they lagwed. mistaking the foundation for the building. From an economie standpoint we ware spending an enor- motis sum of money for Intoxicating Ii- quor and had Investéd in the Business countless millions of dollare. In view of this I desirn to sugmest that whenever ¥on attempt to tear up by the roots a| principle that has fastened it=elf deeply Into the personal. the political, the economie history of a people. you have tindsrtaken a difficult job. Tt is a work which ecannot be done in a day or In a year. nor in five ears. You cannot change the eurrent of history and changs It over night; you cannot et millions of men, who have heen headed in one direecs tion, to face about and move in an op- posite direction. without some diffienity. A second mistake which ovr people made and from which we suffered a most as grievously as from the first mis- take, was that most people felt that what enforcement neceseary to make this principle efféctive should be done by the federal government. Possibly 90 per cent of our people—and in the be- ginning. 90 per cent of our local officers —ware of the opinion that the entire n tion should be policed from the city of Washineton and tha hootlezgsrs and moonshifiers éliminated therefrom, This can never be done. The sentiment of th people for ohed!- enca tn the laws could be so strone that thers would be ne crimes committed. The conditions In citles ean be made much better than they are by creating a senti- merit for obedience to the laws. The federal government will never un- der the sun be able to®nforee the prohi- bition law alone. No man at Washington can police this country -and _drive the bhootleggers out of husines When T was natienal prohibition director, how many men @id T have under me? T had 1,000 men and the people expected ma o Po- Tice 110,000.000 people with 1.000. For the 18 monthe T was in office there was hardly a local officer who was willing to give any help. In enforcing the pro- hbition law you don't meed to look to the officers. but to the ‘people. The peo- ple must get back of It. At the close of Mr. Cramer’s address Rev. Dr. Roberts introduesd Dr. Ernest V. Claypool, superintendent of the Anti- Saloon league in this state. Dr, Clay- "pool told briefiy of the need of ‘Christian use of the ballot by the men and wo- men. He announced that a two-day convention will be held at New Haven May 8 and 9, called by 200 clergymen of | the state. to decide upon a more agsr: sive programme in connection with the Anti-Saloon League of America. Claypool made an earnest appeal for contrfbutions for the furtherance of the work and subseription cards and en- velopes were circulated among those present. SEGRET OF CURE FOR RICKETS IS DISCOVERED That rickets is a preventable disease was explained Tuesday by Phillp S. Platt, C. P. H., direetor of the New Ha- ven Health Center, in an address be- fore the section on “Health” at the Connecticut Conference of Social Work, in session at Stamford. = “Rickets—one of the most common and most serious diseases of infants—has at last been shorn of a large part of the mystery that has surrounded it in the past,” sald Dr. Platt. “Within the CONG.

On the second day of the five-day conclave there was a parade with 20,000 In line and almost every band was either a Knight Templar or Shriner band.

Still it is @ fact that direct outdoor sunlight acting upon the skin prevents the de- velopment of those metabolic distudb- ances which result in the condition we call rickets and which we think of most often as those deformities of the bones which are due to excessive softness (lack caleium). As though to make our work of prevention (and cure) doubly certaln, recent discoveries have revealed that precisely the same effect as that ob- ‘ained with sunlight may be obtalned by cod liver oil. Consequently publie health and social workers must hence- forth include Tickets among the entire- Iy preventable diseases.
