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!

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.

Hurry. Mother! Remove poisons

Give "California Syrup of Figs"
at once if bilious or

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

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

GET IT FIRST—NOT LAST
j When a cold grips your system it is
Convincing proof that your condition is
| weakened—remember'that. It is risky
indeed to simply trust your strength to
throw it off, because neglected colds
have brought more serious sickness
than any other one thing, while weak
ening cathartics and stimuiatingsyrupa
are often depressing and dangerous.
The one best treatment for any cold
l —the one so often relied on when others
] fail.isthe powerful blood-nourkhment
in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the
very sources of bodily strength to sup
press the present cold and generate
i strength to thwart further sickness.
I Get Scott's first, not last—and insist
on the ge.nuine—always free from al
cohol and injurious drugs.

from the State hatcheries and numer
ous fishing clubs and organizations of
sportsmen co-operated in turning
loose the flsli and in making reports
on the manner in which they sur

The shipments of young trout made
in the last two months ran over 300.-
000, about 214,000 being "planted" in
November and 92,957 in December.
All of these fish were sent out tinder
direction of wardens with assistance
of members of fishing clubs.
According to department officials
the take of herring eggs on Lake
Erie was the greatest ever made and
the Erie hatchery has sent over 20,-
000,000 herring eggs and 1,800,000
white fish eggs to the Torresdale
hatchery, while the Union City and
Corry hatcheries have sent to the
Faifmount Park Aquarium In Phila

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.

Announced by Officials
Another big improvement program j
surpassed in magnitude only by the;
big extensions of last year has been j
announced by officials of the Pennsyi-j
vanla Steel Company for the Steelton!
plant, for the present year.
The program included the construe-1
tion of new 14-inch and 16-inch mer-.
chant mills, a new plant for sinter
ing the flue dust from the blast fur
naces and line ores and an extension |
to the present machine shop with the j
addition of more machine tool equip-'
ment. Xo. 3 blast furnace will be re- j
modeled and reconstructed, as an-1
nounced some time ago, and extensions!
will be made to the. blast furnace power,
plant. This will consist of one gas-,
driven blowing engine and one 3,000 j
kw. gag-driven electric generator. A J
2,400 horsepower boiler plant will also;
be built.
At the Lebanon plant the company)
will add to its ore concentrating and i
sintering plant. •
The improvements at the local plant
will entail the expenditure of many!
thousands of dollars and will give'work :
to many men. Completion of the pro- j
gram will mark another step towards
placing the plant on a part with the j
best equipped steel-making mills in

GROWTH OF BANK
IS UNPARELLELED
[Continued from First I'agc.]
$442.83 tthile the number of banks
iti< reased from 2,100 to 2,159.
| The Comptroller's principal recom
i mendation for legislation is for an
amendment to the bank law author
ising and directing the Department of
Justice to bring suits against usurers
upon information furnished either by
the Comptroller or through other
sources.
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.

says, there were 208 failures attribut
able to criminal acts, while injudici
ous or careless banking was respon
sible for 138 others.
"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. They
have expended to dimensions never
before reached."
