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*. Caldwell, 452 Wash
ington St., Monticello. Ills.

To-night! Clean your bowels and

Sour Stomach
Get a 10-cent box now.
You men and women who can't set
feeiing right who have headache.
• oated tongue, bad taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bili
ous. nervous and upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or
have a bad cold.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets. or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep:
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases: take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and poi
son in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will straighten
you out by morning—a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet: liver and bowels regu

forget the children. They love Cas
carets because they taste good—never
gripe or sicken.—Advertisement.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
If you want plenty of thick, beauti
ful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
»:et rid of dandruff, for It will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
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. This simple remedy never
fails.— Advertisement

Middietown Car Co. Gets Contract
For Fifteen Pressed Steel
Tank Cars
I Local mills shared in to-day's or
|ders lor new steel business when the
Pennsylvania Steel company secured
an order for 4.000 tons of steel rails
from the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road and the Middietown Car com
pany landed an order for steel cars
from a South American railroad.
These orders indicate a gradual re
turn to former conditions in the iron
an-:l steel industry. The order ob
taiued by the Middietown Car Com
pany is for fifteen steel tank cars for
-.he Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Producti
company, of Brazil. Car company offi
cials are much elated over the booking
of this order, which, although small,

Railroads Buying
In speaking of the increasing oper
ations in the steel business the Iron
Age. in its review to-day declares
that there were 160 blast furnaces In
operaUon February 1, an Increase of I
14 over the number in operation a|
month ago. Speakinc of the increased
buying by th*- railroads it says:
"The feeling in the steel trade this
week is better, and the larger com
panies look for a further moderate in
crease in output in the next six weeks.
"The increased ability of the rail
roads to get money and its further ac
cumulation are factors in the situa
tion of which more is heard. Rail
buying Is still far from normal, but
each week adds to the total. The
Chicago & Northwestern has placed
27.000 tons: the Nickel Plate, 2.500
tons: the Erie, over 30.000 tons. of.
which 22.000 tons went to Pittsburgh '

CIVIL SERVICE IN
STATEPROPOSED
Governor Invites Submission of
the Bill Outlined by Phila
delphia People
Governor Brumbaugh to-day in
formed representatives of the Penn
sylvania Civil Service Reform Asso
: ciation that he was in favor of a prac
! tical civil service law for the State
t government and invited them to sub
! mlt a bill to him. The bill will be
drafted by Monday and be gone over
by the Governor, and the Attorney-
General. after which a further talk
will be held.
The association was represented by
T. Henry Walnut, former state legis
lator from Philadelphia, and Stanley
W. Root, tho secretary, who outlined
their ideas to the Governor, evoking
from him a statement that he was
much interested and believed in a biil
which would meet requirements and
be safe and sane. He discussed his
own ideas on the subject, referring to
his message, and pointed out what he
thought should be done on Capitol
, Hill. The Governor also referred to
, his proposition to reorganize the De
partment of Agriculture under charge
! of a commission and to establish civil
service in that branch of the govern
ment for a "tryout." It is understood
counties and third class cities will be
given the option of taking civil service.
Messrs. Walnut and Root agreed to
submit their bill at an early day and
the Governor said that he would then
Incorporate his own ideas and cut out
those which he did not lind prac
ticable, if there be any.
Civil service bills have appeared in
several recent sessions. Last session
Representative G. W. Williams, of
Tioga, sponsored one and there was a
disposition to take it up although
pressure of work and lack of time
prevented the details from being
worked out.
The Governor said to-day that prog
ress Is being made on a workmen's
compensation act and it will be ready
for more discussions next week. To
day he had conferences with a num
ber of state officials about bills. It is
understood that the local option bill
will go in next week and that it will
be in charge of Mr. Williams. The
child labor bill prepared by the Penn
sylvania Child Labor Association is
also about ready.
IlighwayCommlssioner Bigelow spent
some time with the Governor talking
over roads.

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.

Railroad to Appeal Case; Port
Royal Justice Says Employe?
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 tines were paid by the
railroad company and notice was
given than an appeal would be made
to the court. The men lined were:
J. C. Swanncr. Altoona, freight con
ductor on high class freight train.
David Speece, Harrisburg. conductor
on hiirh class freight train.
Augustus Pfleger. Port lloyal, track
foreman, and the track hands.
Wert* nrnlshen \ times
Wert* furnished a list of names to
Squire Miller. On twelve cases, the
costs, amounting to $l6O, were placed
on Wertz. Eight of the men proved
they were not at work on Sunday. 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.

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.
He was best heard in the "Mediation"
from "Thais." by Massanet. but in all
of his numbers, as in this one, the
beautiful quality of his tones and his
interpretative abilities marked him as
lan artist of no mean ability,
j Fred Hand and Clarence Slgler, tin
jder whose direction the concert was
igiven, were heartily congratulated on
! his success.
Beauty Prize Winner Tells
of Care She Gives Her Hair
! Of unusual interest to women and
perhaps of as mueh admiration to
men, is the wonderful health of glor
ious hair that crowns the beauty of
Hiss Mary Cranston, one of the Keith
stars appearing: at the Orpheum this
week. Incidentally .Miss Cranston has
won three beauty prizes and in each
instance there is no doubt but what
her hair helped much toward winning
her the honor. »
Ladies who attend the Orpheum this
week will likely be delighted to take
a tip from Miss Cranston, for to see
her hair is to make every lover of
glorious tresses interested as to the
methods of care she pursues.
When seen in her dressing room at
the theater this morning. Miss Crans
ton was asked about her hair.
"Would you like to see my hair?"
she said, shaking the wonderful gold
en mass down over her shoulders. "I
do it up so simply that 1 never need
a mirror, and the oftener I have it
around where the wind can blow
through it, the better I am pleased.
"I always wash my hair thoroughly
once a week, and just before the
shampoo, 1 rub a small amount of
vaseline into the scalp.
"I use plain castile soap for wash
ing. and in the last rinsing water I
squeeze the juice of half a. lemon.
This is my own idea, and there is
nothing in the world so good for im
parting luster to the hair."
