COLUMBIA FIREMEN
M ELECTRIC CO.
Protest Against Transfer of Rights
and Privileges to New
Corporation
Columbia, Pa., March 11. —At a
regular meeting of the Columbia Fire
men's Relief Association the directors
of that body went on record as op
posing the transferring of the rights
and privileges of the now defunct Co
lumbia Electric Light, Heat and Power
Company to their successors, the Edl-
Bon Electric Company, and the asso
ciation will ask each of the' live lire
companies of Columbia to take similar
action.
When the Columbia Electric Light,
Heat and Power Company began busi
ness in Columbia over a quarter of a
century ago,- they placed an' electric
light over the entrance of each fire
house and made no charge for the
same. These lights were allowed to
burn all night and were a great aid
to the firemen when called into ser
vice at night. When the Public Utili
ties Commission of Pennsylvania
sprang into existence they ruled that
corporations could not furnish any
thing for nothing. The Edison Com
pany forthwith cut oft the free service
at the fire houses.

FRAIL, WEAKLY CHILD
Made Strong by Vinol
So many cases like this are coming
to our attention for the benefit of
fathers and mothers of veak, sickly,
ailing children in this vicinity we pub
lish the following letter:
Mrs. J. P. Weatlierford, Litchfield,
111., says: "We have had an invalid
cfelld for tho past nine years and un
til we began using Vinol, we some
times thought there was little hope
for bim. He would have terrible
coughing spells at night, and they
would leave him so exhausted. We
tried everything, but to no avail. At
last some one suggested that we try
Vinol and we noticed a change in
him from the very first. The cough
ing spoils ceased and he gained in
strength right along. We would not
be without it and would advice par
ents, who have frail and weakly Chil
dren to try Vinol."
This is because the child needed
the strengthening cod liver elements
and the tonic iron that Vinol con
tains. No oil, delicious' taste. Chil
dren love it. We give back your
money if Vinol does not benefit. Geo.
A. Gorgas, Druggist, Harrlsburg, Vinol
is sold in Steelton, Pa., by T. Prowell.
P. S.—For rough, scaly skin, try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it. —Ad-

IF HI IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken anil Beautify
Faded, Lifeless Hair
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
h-cr a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wispy and scraggly, just an ap
plication or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a 50
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy," ready to use.
This can' always be depended upon
to bring back the natural color, thick
ness and luster of your hair and re
move dandruff,' stop scalp itching and
falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because It darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can toll it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through the hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and
atter another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy,
lustrous and abundant. Advertise

Purified Blood-SOLVES
Most of Sickness Problems
People who have been poulticing
and anointing for years and years
marvel at the way S. S. S. does the
work.
When you come to realize that the
skin and flesh beneath are composed
of a network of tiny blood vessels you
i solve the mystery.
j There are wonderful medicinal
I properties in S. S. S. that follow tne
course of the blood stream just aa
| naturally as the most nourishing food
; elements.
Thousands know it to be really a
remarkable remedy. It contains one
ingredient, the active purpose of
which is to stimulate the tissues to
the healthy selection of its own es
sential nutriment. And the "medi
cinal elements of this matohless
blood purifier are just as essential to
well-balanced health as the nutritous
elements of the meats, grains, fats
and sugars of our daily food," said a
well-known physician.
Not only this, but If from the presence of
eoue distributing poison there Is a local or gen
eral Interference of nutrition to cause bolls,
carbuncles, abscesses, and kindred troubles.
S. S. 8. so directs the local ./Cells that this
poison Is rejected and eliminated from their
I presence.
I Then, too, S. S. S. has such specific stimula
tion on these local cells as to their
mutual welfare and a proper relative assistance
to each other.
Not one drop of minerals or drugs Is used In
Its preparation. Ask for B. 8. 8. and just
insist upon linvtng It. And If you iVslre skillful
advice and counsel upon any matter concerning
the blood and skin, write to the mcllcal depart
ment, The Swift §pcclflc Co., 312 Swift Bldg.,
Atlanta. Oa.
Do not allow some zealous clerk to larrup the
atmosphere In eloquence over something "Just as
good" as 8. 8. 8. Beware of all substitutes.
