A Sure Way to End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glos sy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.—Advertisement ] Bringing Up Father $ # (fl) # (fl) By McManm ( "k " "> _ c s N s > HCLUO- WELL-I KNOW BELINDA ( " SHESIATE Don-t I , XOUREAFINE. 6EHNUA 1 1 WON'T LEAVE.

L. Adams Saves Life by Sticking to Fence; Wheels Touch Body Thrills are a part of the life of a railroad brakeman. Charles L. Adams of 2056 Swatara street, employed on the Middle Division of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, will vouch for this. He had lits first real thrill early yes terday when he was knocked from a moving freight train, and saved him self from being ground to pieces be neath the wheels by squeezing his body close to a fence. Adams, with his crew, was enroute east. At Lewistown Junction his train was to wait for orders. Brakeman Adams started to get off. Along the side of the track was a fence. When about to jump Adams' right foot caught between two palings, and he was thrown from the car. He fell be tween the rail and track fence. The space into which the brakeman squeezed his body was small, and he could feel every wheel touch his clothing. Adams breathed a sigh of relief, and a silent prayer when the cabin car passed him. Members of flie crew noticed the brakeman's sud den disappearance and expected to find him ground to pieces. They wera more than surprised when the Har risburger walking toward them re lated his experience. He escaped with a (ew scratches. New Advertising Chief For Pennsylvania Railroad E. S. STEWART E. S.

Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers, charging illegal dismissal.] Cannot Raise Men's Wages Is Official Statement Chicago, Feb. 2. A formal state ment of tlie View of the railroads as to the demands of the men for an eight-hour day was issued here yes-; terday by the Executive Committee of j the Association of Western Hallways. ! Thp statement asserts that the de- j manils are not in reality for a shorter day, but, In effect, a request for an advance in wanes which would cost the railways of the nation $100,000,000 ■ a year in wages alone. This is ex plained by the assertion that train men work between terminals, not by I the hour, and do not, as a matter of fact, expect to shorten their hours: of toil, but to be paid for overtime over eight instead of ten hours. The movement, says the statement, involves 300,000 men on 280,000 miles of line in the United States and Can ada. A strike, which the statement says has been Informally threatened by an element of the brotherhoods, 1 would constitute strial catastrophe the' American pub- \ lie has ever knewn.
