POSITIVE RELIEF ' FOR CONSTIPATION The progress of modern medical •Clencf is. perhaps, no more force fully evident than in the simplify ing of many of the old time reme dies of past generations. For in smihf. the harsh cathartics and violent purgatives used by our fore fathers to relieve constipation are BOW know n to be not only unite. >s sary but really* harmful. Constipa tion can be more effectively relie\ - ed without the discomfort and pain these old-time remedies oc casion. A combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is most effec tive. yet mild and pleasant. It's absolutely free from opiates and narcotics and equally as desirable a remedy for the tiniest babe as for rugged manhood. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. IV. I*.

It doesn't do much good to try to Urusfc or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply It at n.jrht when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gent ly with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all. of your 6<iadruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will complete ly dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find. too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and fee! a hun dred tiroes better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It inex pensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff >nu have.

Germany Notifies American Shipping to Avoid French Coast By Asscciated Press Washington, Feb. 4.—Germany to day notified the State Department that American vessels should avoid ■ the north and west coast of France. The State Department does not re gard flic notice as a formal declara tion of blockade by Germany of the French coast. It is said that the mere presence of German submarines or the planting of German mines would not constitute a blackade, which, accord ing to long established principles of the State Department requires the maintenance of a fleet of wa'rships suf ficient to prevent any intercourse with the blockade port. Thereforr. the department regards the notice as similar to one issued by the British government and to a pre ceding notice from the German move ment regarding the waters of the North Sea, both of which recited that mines had been sown within specified limits and that the waters would be unsafe for passage of neutral shipping except under pilotage. Technically, the waters of the north and west coasts of France there fore, are to be regarded as within tho war zone. Russian Aviators Drop Bombs on German Trains By Associated Press Petrograd.

Violate Blue Laws Two trainmen and four trackmen, employes on the Middle Division, of the Pennsylvania llailroad, were yes terday lined $lO each and costs by Squire E. E. Miller, at Port Royal, for violating an old blue law prohibiting working on Sunday. The prosecutor v.as Lawrence Wert*, a former shop employe, who was asked to resign last Spring, when. It is said, he manifested considerable interest in the Brother hood of Federated Railway Employes. The total tines and costs amount to about $l5O.

The question was also raised by counsel for the railroad company, that the prosecu tor failed to specify whether the train men were running trains witli loaded cars or perishable freight: or as to the necessity for the trackmen to work. Tlie railroad company's detense was that the trains on which the men work ed were loaded with perishable freight and it was necessary to keep them moving, one of the trains Including one or more cars loaded with cattle. As t • the trackmen being at work, it was also claimed by railroad officials, that these were called out to remove snow from the tracks, which is compulsory because of orders from the Public Ser vice Commission to keep the main line open and in operation.

FEBRUARY 4. 1915. TWO THOUSUD NEW M'CHDK CONCERT Delightful Concert in Which the Artist 1$ at His Best in All Irish Songs The John McCorntack recital last night marked the second large concert to be held in the Chestnut street audi torium. The audience greatly remind ed one of the concerts last winter bv jPaderewski, when that artist gave hi* I recital under the same management. [John MeCormack, celebrated Irish ly | rir tener, last night's artist, was as sisted by Donald Meßeath, violinist. So much has been told of Mr. McCor mack's voice that it was not only con isidcred a race opportunity 'tor Har ris burg to hear him. but was a chance Itaken advantage of by some two thou sand people of this city and vicinity. Mr. MoCormaek's program from the ■ standpoint of construction was excel lently balanced, although it might he I said without detracting from his work I in these numbers that his more popu lar work was done in his encores with I which he was particularly generous. Mr. McCormack's voice is a beauti- I fully, sweet, resonant. Ivrlc tenor; pure and without that touch in the lower register of the baritone quality which is so often found in a tenor voice. Mr. McCormack's most popu lar and best received selection was the ! group of ancient Irish songs, after ! which lie demonstrated his real popu i larity in a series of encores which started with the song written for him j- —"I Hear You Calling Me," and end ing with the Irish love song—"Believe IMe If All Those Kndearing Young Charms." It was in this group that Mr. MoCorniaek endeavored to sing Xevin's "Rosary." but to the disap pointment of the aiuyence was pre sented from doing so oy the interrup tion of a few in the audience who evidently had strayed into the hall | evidently under the impression that a | burlesque show was in progress anil who behaved accordingly. The con ! duct of both artist and audience un- Uier the ciivumstances was admirable, j Mention of Mr. McCormack's recital I would not be complete without note of his beautiful rendition of the plaintive | old song "Mother Machree." Nor I would it be proper to omit praise for the perfect accompaniment of Edwin | Schneider, whose work at the piano i was equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind heard in Harrisburg ill recent years. Mr. Mcßeoth, as a supporting artist, was excellent, but unfortunately lie changed the numbers of his progarni.
