HOW TO GtT RID OF CHRONIC DANDRUFF The only sure way to get perma nently rid of either oily or dry dan druff is to remove the conditions that cause it and then keep the hair and scalp in a permanent, clean, healthy, vigorous oTate so dandruff will never return. This beats shampoos or head washes which merely remove the dan druff for a few days at most. H. C. Kennedy and the better druggists everywhere arc now strongly recom mending a harmless, inexpensive and • luick acting preparation called Pa risian Sage that is guaranteed to act directly on the cause of dandruff and which already has become generally known as a safe and efficient treat ment which cannot possibly injure the hair or scalp. Here is a test no one should fail to try. Get a package or Parisian Sage. Rub a little of it into the scalp with the finger tips and see for yourself how the dandruff disappears, the hair stops falling out and all itching imme diately ceases. Kven one application usually gives the hair a strong, healthy appearance. Nothing hurts the hair more than dandruff, so begin using Parisian Sage to-day and be forever rid of it. FARMERS LOSING MUCH FERTILIZER Stale Authorities Call Atten tion to Lack of Economy on Farms Nowadays Farmers of the State are declared to be losing, throwing away or other-1 wise not getting the use of thousands of dollars worth of valuable fertilizer every month by agents of the Slate Department of Agriculture who have been engaged in looking up the ferti lizer situation since the European war dislocated the potash situation. Some of the investigations have been made in Dauphin, Cumberland arid York counties and show a failure to realize the value of stable and farm manure. 1 J. T. Campbell, soil and crop ex-: pert of the State Department of .Agriculture declares in a bulletin just issued that farmers ought to stop worrying over the shortage of Eu ropean potash and look after what they lose at home. Mr. 'Campbell writes in this bul letin:— "On many farms the liquid manure of the farm livestock goes down through the floor of the stable or is otherwise lost to the land and with it i-oes immense value to the farmer. Crops taken from the field remove more or less potash while crops fed to animals give off the potash largely through the urine. If the liquid ma nure is not returned to the soil, the potash supply of the soil suffers. "If concrete watertight floors were constructed in the barns and enough of litter used to absorb the liquid, or concrete or watertight pits or reser voirs provided adjacent to the stables nnd barns, and the resultant manure were intelligently applied to the soil, there would not be a great need for additional potash. "Most farmers have an exaggerated idea of the need of more plant food in the soil. What is needed more is a j knowledge of how to make use of the plant food already in the soil. Some : experiment stations are conducting a lot of experiments to show what can be done with chemical fertilizers and practically doing northing to show us how the soil fertility can be maintain ed or restored without the expense of using chemicals and by going on in nature's own way." Daniels Modifies Naval Wireless Censorship Rule By Associated Press Washington. March 2.—Changes in i the naval wireless censorship regula- \ tions were announced to-day by Sec- \ rotary Daniels. A strict interpreta-1 lion of the regulations as they were made when the government placed naval censors ut Sayville and Tucker- 1 ton prohibited the censors from pass-, ins for publication In the United States the German official statements if they made reference to "movements or locations of war or other vessels of belligerents." This operation to prevent Ger-1 ninny's statement of the result of naval operations being received di-! rect from Germany, although they were received by cable via London nrter having passed through the British censorship. Count Von Bern storff. the German ambassador, at the direction of his government made a formal inquiry after the American censors had suppressed the German wireless account of the sinking of ■ the British cruiser Arabic. The regulations as now modified by Secretary Daniels provide: "The re striction as to movements of war or other vessels of belligerents shall not apply to messages received from belligerent shore radio stations. It applies only to Germany, as Great Britain is using the cables. TO STOP TERRIBLE" RHEUMATIC PAINS Get a box of true Mustarinc in the original yellow box lor about 25 cents at druggists.

NEWS OF STEELTON SOARING PRICES; BIG CONTRACTS Steel Boom Continues Un abated; Week of Heavy • Buying in Pigs Soaring prices in practically every product of the steel trade and the booking of some large orders, includ ing several railroad rail orders and j bridge contracts, are features of the I week in '.he iron and steel industry, according to to-day's review by the ; Iron Age. Says this journal: "Steel prices are rushing up at a j furious pace and in the past week con ditions have grown more excited. !' Manufacturers as well as buyers con sider the present level dangerous, but some of them had the same view weeks ago. Now they generally pro- I test that they are creatures of a slt ! uation the end of which none can i predict. | "It has been a week of heavy buy ! ing in many quarters, notably In pig 1 iron and old material. More than 200,000 tons of steel-making pig iron has been closed and the Steel Cor poration nlone has bought 100,000 tons of steel scrap in the Pittsburgh and Chicago districts. "Railroads see that S3O open-hearth i rails are the cheapest product on the list and at least three systems have placed orders as far ahead as 1917. tho total thus far for that delivery being about 70,000 tonr. "Shipyard buying is at a pace never before known, and already the leading steel interest has booked 110,000 tons of steel for 20 vessels that will be under construction in the second quar ter of 1917, largely for foreign owners. "Similarly there is figuring long ahead for steel for bridges and build ings. The American Bridge Company has taken the contract for a bridge for the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad over the Allegheny river at Oakmont, Pa., that will tequire 10,000 to 12,000 | tons and will be a year in building, i A bridge at Steubenville. Ohio, for the i Laßelle Iron Works will take 5,000 j tons. A bridge over the Ohio river at ' Louisville. Ky„ just let, calls for 5.000 I tons. In the Last fully 15.000 tons in structural contracts has been let this week and nearly as much is about to be closed. Quick decisions have been made on some work to avoid higher prices. Buy Boa Is for Deliveries "New rail orders include 33,000 tor.s for the Southern Railway, of which 30,000 tons goes to Ensley 5.000 tons for the Wheeling and Lake Erie, (5,500 tons for the Baltimore and Ohio and 3.200 tons for the C., H. nnd D. The Russian rail contracts went to three mills and the total is about tio.OOO tons. It is understood boats have actual!}* been bought to insure delivery of these rails. "Pittsburgh reports the offering of 100,000 tons oi bars for shells, which mills have been unable to consider. Considerable, foreign requirements have come up for large squares and blooms for forging. But efforts of foreign ! buyers have lately concentrated on i barb wire for the second half, and 50.000 to 100.000 tons is before the I mills. j "Activity in steel-making pig iron, along with heavy buying of steel scrap, shows the larger steel companies' need of outside material. One Pittsburgh interest bought 35,000 tons of basic and 35,000 tons is under inquiry in that market. Cincinnati sales of basic amounted to t>o,ooo tons and a large block is pending there. An Indiana steel company bought 20,000 tons, and j in eastern Pennsylvania 12.000 tons : was taken, while Buffalo reports a j good sized basic sale."

CHIEF DYNAMITER ON HONOR ROLL Emanuel Bare Who Tore Away Hills Retires After Long Service Emanuel Bare, chief dynamiter on | the Baltimore division of the Penn sylvania railroad, was retired yester- I day. His home is Mt. Wolfe where lie will rest after 46 years of thrilling | experiences. During his career he has j handled many tons of dynamite and i lias been a big factor in making room j for track and other improvements. He entered the service of the rail road company in 1869 as a track la j borer. For 17 years he worked in this ( capacity and witnessed many changes |and improvements on this section of 'the Pennsylvania system during this j time. In 1886 he was made a track foreman and was given charge of the dynamite work on the Baltimore divi sion between Baltimore and Marys ' villc. He remained in the capacity of track foreman for only a short time, his duties becoming so heavy that his entire time was devoted to dynamite work. Only at one time did he figure In an I accident. This was on a subcontract at Middletown Ferry, when an Ital | ian got into a blast and was thrown for some distance by the force of the j explosion. His injuries were only slight and he was removed to a hos pital. Worked at Ix-moyiie I The veteran railroader was in j charge of the work of removing the , rock from the cut at Lemoyne, along i the west bank of the Susquehanna river. When there was danger of a por tion of the roof of Howard's tunnel, south of Brillhart, giving way. Bare I was put in charge of the work of dy | namiting out the rock preparatory to ! arching the tunnel. Much of this work, wus done at night, so as not to interfere with the schedule of pas senger trains. I The last big job was the supervi sion of the removal of a large bank of i limestone rock by the State, located |on the company's property near Le | nioyne.

According to these figures 1597 cars 1 were accepted up to 3 o'clock. The I number of cars awaiting removal now number 10,976. of which 3876 l are in tlie city un.d 0100 outside.
