Try Sena; ma's Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and Nobody Will Know Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, 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 was mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old-time re- cipe improved by the addition of oth-~ er ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it 80 naturally and evénly. You damp- en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at. a time; 'by morn; ing the gray hair disappears, and af- ter another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years youn- ger.

As the result of a motion intro- duced at a meeting of the Board of Education, held on Thursday night, which marked the final meeting of the year, Kingston may have a supervised Mayground for the children. The matter. was special' committee, composed of Trustees Elliott, Anglin and Maec- donald, to bring in a report. The resolution was seconded by Trustee Macnee, and had the hearty endor- sation of all the members present. The question of supervised play- grounds has been a pet subject with Trustee Macdonald for some time, are very few places in the city where the "kid- dies" can play, and he feels that it would be a good thing to have a supervised playground) at one of the scheols, and if such Is established he asks that the base- ment of the school be given over for the use of the children at the same time. Al the larger cities have these playgrounds, and they have been 'a great success. Trustee Anglin was strongly in favor of establishing the play- ground, and stated that he would be in favor of having it located on the north side of Princess street, as this section of the city has but very few places where the children can play. As a result, the children were being continually warned to keep off the streets, where they were found playing, and this he regarded as a warning for them tq get off the earth. Trustee Elliott spoke of the great advantage resulting from such play- grounds. He said that a playground of this character had been estab- lished at Brockville, and had been extremely helpful. He learned at the recent meeting of trustees held in 'Toronto that there were four hundred games which could be put on to good advantage on these grounds. Chairman Henderson was also of the opinion that there should be a supervised playground for the children during the summer months. Trustees Macnee and Campbell moved that the committee already named take up the matter, and the motion was carried without any fur- ther discussion. Trustee Macdonald stated that he would be satisfied to have the playground located at any one of the schools. : He had in view Vie- toria school. Secretary Maedonald notified the members of the financial standing of the board. There is an overdraft of $4,000, but half of this amount is covered by the fees to be collected from county pupils attending the Collegiate Institute but under the new method for the. collection. of these fees the money will not be secured until next year. There is really an overdraft of $2,000, and this has been caused by the high price of coal and the money voted for the superannuation fund for the teachers. The secretary was given the power to draw om the bank for the n ry a t to tide over the year. : Reports of Committees, A report of the property com- mittee, submitted by Trustee Monk, 'was adopted. It recommended that the salaries of caretakers of schools 'be increased as follows: Frontenac and Macdonald, from $600 to $700; Louise, from $300 to $350; Cataraqui, from $250 to Ho: Sydenham, from $225 to 'Caretakers of the Collegiate In- stitute and Victoria school to be al- lowed $26 per year for snow shovel- Mag, the caretakers to be respon. sible for the clean of the street as well as the ground walks. referred to a The report of the management committee was also adopted.

Praise for Chairman. Following the meeting of board, the retiring chairman, J. R. Henderson, passed around the cig- ars, and the trustees spent a half hour or so in a social manner, Mr. He: made an ideal chairman during the year. He has given able service in the carrying on of the business, and on motion of Trustees Mills and Elliott, a vote of thanks was tendered to him for the manner in, which he had pre- sided at the sessions, and for his splendid service. While the members of the board were paring tbe - the retiring h + Trustee Metga) whe quite recently took unto ist a ! the : capacity Forage: better half, was asked to fake the chair, and Trustee Elliott seized this opportunity of extending the congratulations of the board to him. Both Trustees EMiott and Macnee praised the work of Mr. Henderson in neat addresses, and at the close the members applauded. The work of the board during the year has been carried on in t _harmon- ious manner. Mr. derson, in re ply, thanked the m rs for the manifestation of their appreciation of his service. He remarked that the work of the year had been car- ried on in a most harmonious man- ner, and stated that the duties of the chairman had been made very light, owing to the strong support he had been given by all the mem- bers and the officials. Mr. Henderson remarked that it was not his intention to seek re- election on the board wext year, In retiring from office he had but one regret, and that was the fact that he had not the time to go into the work of the board as i should be gome into. He pointed out that some time ago there had been an agitation to reduce the membership of the board to nime members, and he regarded this move as a great mistake, as it would mean lessening the number of citizens in the work of the board. Tribute to Officials. The board, on motion of Trustees Elliott and Cohen, also placed on record its appreciation of the valu- able service rendered by the offi- cials, Inspector J. Russel Stuart, Secretary John Macdonald and An- drew Lanigan, messenger. Trustee Elliott stated that every- one regarded Mr. Stuart as a most efficient inspector. He was one of the best Kingston had ever been blessed with. The schools had never been in better condition than at pre- sent. . He expressed regret that the city lacked departments in which work of a more technical character could be taken up. y ol he members d a after wing very heartily in 'the singing of A James Craig.

London, Dec. 13.--The Petro- grad correspondent of The Times attributes to a responsible source the statement that during the infor- mal conversations between the Rus- sian and German representatives at BresteLitovsk regarding the armis- tice on the eastern front the Ger- mans indicate that the following points were likely to be included in any of their peace negotiations: Germany to have control of the Russian wheat market for 15 years. All German goods to be admitted to Russia duty free. No territory now occupied by the Germans to be surrendered. The correspondent says the Bol- sheviki were disappointed by the reserved attitude of the German ne- gotiations and their lack of sym- pathy with political idealism. Other causes contributed to their depres- sion, but it is stated they are de- termined to conclude an armistice at any cost if the latest appeal by the Russian commissionaries to the Allies fails.
