12 DR. DIXON CLOSING DECK SERVICE Notable Record of the Pennsylva nia Commissioner of Health, Who Is Reappointed T>r. Samuel G. Dixon, whose nomi nation as commissioner of health, was sent to the Senate last night by Gov ernor Rrumbaush. was to-day con firmed by that body. This is Dr. Dixon's fourth appointment to this responsible position and within a few days he will have completed ten years of service in this office which is of such vital importance to the welfare of the people of the Commonwealth. Dr. Dixon was appointed by Gov-1 ernor Pennvpaoker on June 6. 1905. shortly after the passage of the act of assembly creating the State De- : parttnent of Health. He was reap pointed March 1. 190", by Governor Edwin S. Stuart and on March 1. 1911, j hy Governor John K. Tener. I'nder his able direction the Pennsylvania Department of Health has achieved first place among the public health organizations in this country and the work which has been accomplished has attracted attention at home and abroad. At the present time the de partment has between three and four thousand employes and its activities reach to every section of the State. In the campaign against tuberculosis, which ten years ago was the chief • ause of death in Pennsylvania, one hundred and fifteen tuberculosis dis pensaries have been established and three great State sanatoria at Mont Alto. Cresson and Hamburg have been constructed under the supervision of Dr. Dixon. In ten years tuberculosis has fallen from first to second place as a cause of death in this Stat? and the rate is steadily declining year by year. Four thousand deaths and forty; thousand illnesses from typhoid fever j was the annual toll exacjed from I Pennsylvania's citizens ten years ago. ■ To-dav this has been decreased more ' than 75 per cent, and although in the' meantime the population of the State ! has increased more than a million, the I number of deaths from this cause is t only one-fourth the former figure. During the past year the death rate of 15.9 per thousand inhabitants was the lowest in the history of the State. More than seventy-eight thousand peo ple are alive In Pennsylvania to-day. who would have died had the death rate of 1906 continued. Of these cS.- 916 lives. 40.52S have been saved by the reduction of four principal dis eases as follows: Typhoid fever. IS.- 56:.: tuberculosis. 11.924: diphtheria. 4.MS: whooping cough. 4.091. During these years 1.767.000 babies have been born in Pennsylvania whose births have been recorded with all the facts concerning them, in the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Department ~f Health. Since its establishment the Pennsyl vania Department has served as a model for numerous other States that have desired to profit bv the methods which have been here inaugurated. ) For Sallow, Wrinkled, Freckled, Pimpled Skin If you have anv cutaneous blemish, don't use paint, powder or anything else to cover it up. Too often this only emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disfigure ment with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradual ly remove freckles, pimples, black heads. moth-patches. Mil OH nets, red or yellow blotches, or anv surface erup tions. The atTected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day. until thr clear, soft, youthful and beautiful sit in beneath is brought wholly to view Ask the druggist for an ounce of mercolized wax and us# this like you use cold crtim. Re/iove In the morning: with soap and w/.ter. Many who have 'ried this simple and harmless treatment re port results. If bothered with wrinkles or crow's feet, a w.J-h lotion made oy dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel will prove re markably effectual.

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT 1 SIMPLE, SAFE tXU RELIABLE WA People who are over-burdened with superfluous fat, know only too. well the discomfort and ridicule that over stout people have to bear If you are carrying around live or ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are unnecessarily weakening your vital or- i gan« and are carrying a burden which ] destroys the beauty of your figure. There is no need of anyone suffering from superfluous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in a simple, safe and reliable way, without starvation diet or tiresome exercise, spend as much time as you can In the open air, j breathe deeply and get from any good druggist a box of oil of korein cap gules; take one after each meaT and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself once a week so as to know just how fast you are losing weight and don't leave off the treat ment or even skip a single dose until you are down to normal. Oil of korein is absolutely harmless. Is pleasant to take, helps digestion and is designed to consume the excessive fatty tissue by increasing the oxvgen carrylng power of the blood. Even a few days' treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight, foot steps become lighter, your work seetn easier and a lighter and more buovant feeling take possession of your whole being. Every person who suffers from su perflous fat should give this treatment a trial. There is nothing better.—Adv. | J3cddt/u/e r IRTrlialTt Optical Store Ejes Examined. I.ease* ftrnnad.
