A Scalp Massage
Is Great—Stops
Loss of Hair
GIVES NEW HAIR GROWTH
Hair grows dull, brittle, dies and falls
cut because the hair roots shrink and
become lifeless from lack of nourish
ment or are destroyed by the dandruff
germ. The dandruff germ also attacks
the pores of tho scalp, causing it to be
come hard and dry, so that it presses
upon the delicate blood vessels beneatn,
thus shutting off the blood supply to
the hair roots and starving them.
People who are fast losing their hair
and who wish to avoid baldness can
get best and quickest results by a spec
ial form of scalp massage now being
strongly advocated by many of our best
specialists.
A hair vitalisser is first made by mix
ing 2 oz. of Lavona do composee with <<
oz. of pure Bay Rum and then adding
one-half dr. of Menthol Crystals anil i.
little perfume if desired. This mixture
should be well shaken and then allow
ed to stand over night when it will be
ready for use in combination with a
real scalp massage.
The best way to massage the scalp is
to first apply the above tonic directly
on the bare scalp. Then, raising both
hands to the head press the linger tips
firmly against the scalp and using a
circular motion, gently move the scalp
over the bony surface beneath. This
liberates the scalp from the skull ana
loosens the compressed tissues between
so that the blood nows freely to the
balr roots.
The formula given above contains in-
EiQdients Which quickly destroy tht:
dandruff germs ana its food properties
are rapidly absorbed through the pores
of the scalp. In a few days a wonder
ful improvement is noticed. Dull, short
brittle hair becomes bright, long and
glossy, the hair stops falling out and in
a few weeks a new growth of tine silky
hair will be noticeable on bald and
thin spots.
The above preparation is highly rec
ommended and is absolutely harmless
as it contains none of the poisonous
wood alcohol that so frequently has
been found in liair tonics.—Advertise

THE PULLMAN COMPANY
C° nVen l enCe * the
Pullman Company it is not only possible
to secure in advance accommodations in a car never crowded
beyond its normal capacity, but it is possible to enjoy,
while traveling, comforts and conveniences usually associ
ated only with the most modern hotels in larger cities.
By building its own cars the Pullman Company has
been .ble to test every innovation which might add to
the convenience of its passengers. Constant ventilation,
comfortable temperature, electric lights, electric fans, modern
plumbing and other distinctive features of the Pullman car
have been provided in spite of the difficulties arising from
the natural limitations of car construction, and the fact
that these conveniences must at all times be available
while the car is moving from place to place.
A brief comparison of the early Pullman car, with its oil
lamps, coal stove and almost entire lack of conveniences,
with the modern steel-armored sleeping or parlor car,
sanitary, electrically lighted, automatically ventilated, steam
heated and supplied with every comfort and convenience
that ingenuity can devise, testifies to the progress which
has been made by the Pullman Company in fifty years
of continuous service to the traveling public.

STATE BOARD SAYS
IT WANTS FACT
Suggestions of Lack of Lia
bility Must Be Supported by
Positive Testimony
The State Compensation Board, in j
an opinion handed down to-day by i
Chairman Harry A. Mackey and con- j
curred in by tho other
makes plain Its attitude regarding ap
peals from awards of referees which
are based upon the contention that the
person injured or killed was engaged
in Interstate commerce. An award of
compensation to Julia M. Conrad
against the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway by Referee W. B. Scott, of
Philadelphia, is confirmed and an ap
peal dismissed. The opinion, written
by the chairman of the board, is in
part: "Where the defendant is a rail
road company and seeks to avoid re
sponsibility under compensation law
by entering a defense that the claim
ant at the lime of his injury. was en
gaged in interstate commerce and that
state legislation has no Jurisdiction,
then these suggestions become matters
of defense and must be substantiated
by positive testimony. The defendant
under such circumstances must meet
the same burden of proof as is de
manded of a claimant in the presenta
tion of his claim. In this case it is
admitted that the injury was sustained
by the deceased while engaged In the
course of his employment for the de
fendant within the State of Pennsyl
vania. It is also perfectly evident that
there would be no question about the
claimant's right to compensation were
it not for the suggestion that both he
and the defendant at the time of the
injury were engaged in interstate com
merce. The defendant having made
this suggestion as a defense and not
having established the same, it must
fall."
The Board has no authority to read
into the Compensation act "what may
be urged as equitable provisions" de
clares Commissioner John A. Scott in
an opinion rendered to-day in refusing
to graduate compensation in the case
of Dominick Spadea.

ALBANIAN WOMEN
EAT DEAD HORSES
Appeal For American Fdir
Play Made by Balkan
Relief Fund
While the people of the United
States have been sending thirty mil
lion dollars' worth of relief to Europe
and Turkey, two hundred thousand
women and children in Albania have
died of starvation.
While each woman and child in
Belgium has had plenty to eat, wo
men and children in Albania have
gnawed at the carcasses of dead horses
in the streets.
William Willard Howard, of New
York, who has returned from his
trip to this hunger zone of Europe,
predicts that the entire population of
Albania will die of famine and pesti
!enee unless helped. He says that in
Albania corn is tifty dollars a bushel,
Hour eighty dollars a sack, and
macaroni live dollars a pound.
"The tragedy of Albania,' says Mr.
Howard, 'is that a nation is dying of
hunger while the people of the United
States, laden with gifts for the rest of
Europe and for Turkey, pass by on
the other side.
"Thirty millions of dollars have
been given by the people of the
United States for relief work of
various kinds in Belgium, Poland,
Armenia, Syria and the warring
countries of Europe, while two hun
dred thousand women and children in
Southeastern Europe have starved to
death unheeded and uncared for. Not
one woman or child has wied of hunger
in Belgium; two hundred thousand in
Albania.
"Is it fair—is it human—that the
innocent women and children of Al
bania, who never did anyone any
harm, should be trampled under foot
and left to perish, at a time when all
others are fed ?
"Is this American fair play?
"Having appealed to deaf ears in
high places 1 now appeal to the plain
people—to fair-minded men and wo-
I men who would not let even a dog
starve to death, no matter what rus
! breed. I want to go back to Albania
I with a shipload of food. I have ar
ranged for a ship-—a new American
ship Just launched and lilted for sea.
The shis is ready and waiting.
"A number of distinguished gentle
men in New York—mostly clergymen
and editors of newspapers—will co
operate in an appeal for a relief cargo
for the ship. The treasurer selected
to receive contributions is the Rev.
Frederick Lynch, D. D., editor of The
Christian Work and secretary of the
Carnegie Church Peace Union. Con
tributions in any amount —from the
price of a loaf of bread upward-—may
lie sent to the Balkan Relief Fund, TO

Reported Arming of All
British Merchantmen Liable
to Endanger U. S. Relations
Berlin, Oct. 17, via London, Oct. 19.
(Delayed)— The Kriega Zcitung. the
evening edition of the Lokal Anzelgcr,
publishes a report that the British
have ordered the arming of all mer
chantmen and says that as a result
Germany may be forced to take up a
sharper submarine campaign with
consequent endangerment of German-
American relations. It continues:
"If it is true that England actually
intends to arm all its merchantmen
with heavy and therefore far-carrying
guns and thus label them plainly as
warships intended for attacks, it can
not be avoided that whether we wish
to or not, we must give a sharper ten
dency to our submarine campaign."

Loss of Bremen Is Now
Conceded by Ranking German
Diplomats at Washington
Washington, D .C., Oct. 19.—Loss of
the German submarine merchantman
Bremen virtually was conceded to-day
by ranking Teutonic diplomats in po
sition to be familiar with the move
ments of the vessel. The Bremen is
now one month overdue.
It was admitted that German offi
cial?, not only in this country, but in
Berlin, were without Information as to
the fate of the Bremen. All they know
is that she set out for America from
Bremerhaven and tliat she should
have arrived at an American port soon
after the middlo of last month. It is
regarded as doubtful that accurate in
formation concerning the fate of the
vessel will bo available until after the
close of the war, if then.
The disappearance of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the United
States, it was said. There appeared to
be reason to expect that another sub
sea freighter, either the Deutschland
or some other, would reach an Ameri
can port some time within the next
month.
German officials in Washington do
j not believe the Bremen could have
| fallen into the hands of the British
unless she had some accident to her
machinery. They pointed out that,
unlike naval submarines, merchant
submarines avoid all localities fre
quented by shipping, and therefore are
not open to the same risks.
When the Bremen was a week over
due no anxiety regarding her was felt.
The Deutschland was just a week over
due when she came through the Vir
ginia Capes and the weather conditions
then were much Jietter than those
which have prevailed during the last
month and a half. When the vessel
was two weeks overdue anxiety was
apparent in various Teutonic quar
ters and word of her arrival was anx
iously awaited .
Since then hope that the submarine
might be safe lias dwindled each day
and to-day she was spoken of as hav
ing been lost.
Reports that the Bremen had- ar
rived safely in New London. Conn.,
were published in newspapers in many
countries two weeks ago. At New
London a dock had been especially ar
ranged for the reception of the craft.
