$10,000,000 a Year Wasted on Trusses How 60 Days' Trial Protects You Against Throwing Money Away Away With Worthless Makeshifts Ninety-nine out of every hundred dol- \ l.'irs spent for elastic and spring trusses might about as well be thrown away. Close to ten million dollars a year j in this country alone—is practically wasted on such contraptions. And ell simply because nine sufferers out of ten trust to a mere try-on or "hasty examination Instead of first raali- J ins a thorough test. A Mere Try-on Is n Simre Tou can't possibly tell anything about a truss or anything else for rupture merely by trying it on. A truss or so-called "appliance" may seem alright at first and afterward prove utterly worthless. The only way In the world you can make sure of exactly what you're get ting- is by making: a thorough «lxty- ' •lay test without having to risk any money. The Only Thine (iooil Kmi'ish To Stand n 1111-Usr Test There Is only one thing of any kind for rupture that you can Ret on sixty days' trial- Only one thing good enough to stand such a long and thorough test— That is our guaranteed rupture hold er. We'll make one especially for your case—make it to your measure —and 1 let you try it sixty days— We'll practically leud it to you that! long—without asking you to risk a ' penny. If it doesn't keep your rupture from 1 coming out or bothering you in any! way, no matter bow hard you work or] strain—lf it doesn't prove every claim j we make—then you can send it back! and it won't cost you a single cent. Made on \pff Principle This guaranteed rupture holder the famous Cluthe—is so utterly different, from everything else for rupture that it has received eighteen separate pat ents. It is far more than just a truss. Made on an absolutely new principle. T'nlike everything else, it is self- ! rettulntinK Nclf-nd.lustini; instantly j and automatically protects you MRHinst I LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK, CROSS, FEVERISH Hurry. Mother! Remove poisons from little somach, liver, bowels. Give "California Syrup of Figs" at once if bilious or constipated. HUI Look at the tongue, mother: It coated, it is a sure sign that your| little one's stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at i once. When peevish, cross, listless, pale, i doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natu rally. or Is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs." and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you | have a well, playful child again. You needn't, coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative:" they love its delicious taste, and it al ways makes them feel splendid. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent' bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," j which has directions for babies, chil- ' ilren of all ages and lor grown-upsj plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun terfeits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind -with contempt. CONTROVERSY SETTLED The recent controversy between the Fink Brewing Company and the United ) States Revenue Department which has i been in the Federal court for some time has been settled. A SURE WAY TO END DANDRUFF There is one sure way to end dand-i ruff that has never failed. Dandruff ! is caused by a little parasite or germ j thnt burrows underneath the scalp t and feeds on the nutrition that should go into the scalp and hair. The onlyj way to kill dandruff is to kill the dand- j ruff germ. To do this, go to the drug ; store and get a small cake of; Vacuum, and dissolve it in a pint of hot water. Then apply to the scalp as a shampoo. In a short time your dandruff will disappear. For sale by f'roll Keller. A. M. Rlckert, Kauf man's Drug Store. W. F.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH S7IFL7OA'NEW ! WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ORDINANCE Municipal Circles Wonder' Why Measure Doesn't Mention Sewer and Other Things That members of Steelton's borough council will carefully study the pro visions of the ordinance granting the Pennsylvania Railroad Company the rig hi to construct a new freight spur from Harrlaburg to the Pennsylvania Steel Works and establishing three grade crossings, now before council on tbird ana final readings, before they vote in favor of the final passage of tlie measure, was intimated in mu nicipal circles this morning. As the ordinance now stands per mission is granted the railroad to es tablisn three grade crossings; the first at Franklin street with three tracks: the second at Conestoga street with three traeks and the third at l'rewiok street wiih one track. In return for establishing these cross- Inge. vliich residents or the West Side declare would make travel from this section to Front street rather danger ous, the borough receives nothing, as the ordinance now stands. The rather widely-discussed elimi nation ot the old canal nuisance is no' tissured by this measure accord ing to municipal circles, and neither does the ordinance say that any flewer will be built by the Railroad company to drain the upper end of town—now cared for by the canal— as a more or less widely discussed re port lias intimated. Of course, friends of the ordinance point cut, the measure doesn't say that the sewer will not be built at no expense to the borough it merely doesn't mention the sewer or elimina tion of the canal nuisance at all. And men closely identified with the best interests of the borough feel that the ordinance should be more explicit and say just what the borough will re ceive in return for the valuable rights it confers by the measure. So that is why councilnien are giv ing the measure serious study before passing it finally. Centenary U. B.

I Other recommendations given un der a heading "To Prevent Bank Fail ures" propose: To prohibit officers I from borrowing from their own banks; to prevent loans to directors except with the approval of the board; to require officers and em ployes to give surety bonds; to limit direct and indirect loans to one in dividual. firm or corporation; to pre vent or limit overdrafts; to require certificates of deposit to be signed by two directors: to prevent erasures on | the books of a bank: to limit interest I paid on deposits; to authorize the establishment of brandies in the ' Tinted States: to permit branches in | Alaskr and insular possessions: to ) authorize minimum interest charges ' —which ordinarily might be usurious j—on small loans and to authorize the i Comptroller to bring proceedings i against directors for losses sustained jby a bank through violation of the i bank act. j The report renews the Comptroller's recommendations of last year for other legislation, including the giv ing of authority to the Comptroller to remove directors guilty of persist ' ent violations of the bank act.

"It is time." says the report, "for all banks of this country to realize that the Federal Reserve act was framed to benefit not only the banks, but also the customers of the banks, that one of the great objects of the law was to decentralize the money of the country; to effect a more equit able distribution of capital and do away with the old system by which the resources of our banks have been so greatly concentrated In a few cities or sections, there to be loaned out largely on speculative ventures, while in oilier regions money needed so urgently for the legitimate purposes o* industry and of development has been scarce and oftentimes obtainable oniy. if at all. at rates injurious, if not prohibitory." Speaking of the Federal Reserve system Mr. Williams says the with drawal of reserve funds from banks in t lie large cities and their transfer to Reserve Banks has not caused the predicted "convulsion from which the whole country would suffer." "The business and commerce of the United States." he points out in this connec tion, "have not contracted.
