Worth Thinking About.

The Milford Journal says: "We uu- derstand there will be an article in the warrant at Milford's annual towu mest- ing providing for the watering of priu- cipal streets during the summer months at the expense of the town and abutters. This is emphatically a move in the right direction, aod ws hope the article will receive favorable consideration. It is only what is being done hy very many other towns of size and importance in the state. Not only will it provs a great public convenience, but it is sn estab- lished and undeniable fact that watering of streets is a matter of public economy, since it keeps the highways compact and saves the money of the taxpayers being blown away in the form of dust. A street will remain in good condition much longer when watered than wilsu unwatered, to say nothing of the in- creased satisfaction guaranteed tlie

public.

In every sense, this proposed new de- parture in Milford should receive the ap- proval of the town which it deserves."

to be not only a record of the life of Miss

Field, but a running commentary of the current events aud interesting incidents of thirty of forty years of history.

That Miss Whiting has adequately per. formed her task goea without saying, but one cannot say how she has done it. To know that one must read it. But one may try to characterize it by saying that her own individuality so sweetly domi nates the individuallty she describea that one hardly knows which to most admire. The very spirit of exquisite poetry, the airy delicacy of her most re- Hned perception miogles with the rich erudition and the solid culture which turns every sentence to grace.

Ayer's Hair Vigor

What does it do?

It causes the oil glands in the skin to become more active, making the hair soft and glossy, precisely as nature intended.

It cleanses the scalp from dandruff and thus removes one of the great causes of baldness.

It makes a better circu- lation in the scalp and stops the hair from coming out.

It Prevents and.I! Cures Baldness

Ayer's Hair Vigor will surely make hair grow on bald heads, provided only there Is any life remain- ing in the hair bulbs.

It restores color to gray or white hair. It does not do this in a moment, as will a hair dye; but In a short time the gray color of age gradually disap- pears and the darker color of youth takes its place.
