A Dreadful
Coal Shortage
The outstanding fact to-day is that the
nation is face to face with the danger of a
serious coal shortage.
The alarm hit the country .in all parts about four
weeks ago. It was then we had the first touch of
cold weather.
Householders in many cities went to their retail
ers to get coal, snd much to their surprise were in
formed that the entire order could not be filled.
Before the newspapers had hardly said a word
about it, gossip had carried the news to every part
of the country. .
This unprecedented situation is due to three
causes; scarcity of labor, car shortage, and indif
ference of consumers in not purchasing coal in sum
mer months.
Bituminous coal prices at the mines have advanc
ed 10 per cent. We predict a rise in Anthracite
before winter is an.
Don't delay getting enough coal on hand to last
until April, 101

CELERY CROP CUT
BY THE WEATHER
State Reports Show a Decline
in the Size of the Great
Autumn Staple
Discouraging reports oh the celery
crop have been received by the State
Department of Agriculture. The plants
are small and short on account of the
lack of rain during late summer.
The wheat crop for 1916 is estimated
at. 25,070,500 bushels, says the depart
ment bulletin. Early estimates placed
the crop a million and a half bushels
above the yield, which was very dis
appointing in the threshing. The
average production of rye this year Is
estimated at 16.9 bushels, against 17.2
bushels last year. The 1915 crop of
oats was almost a record one and
showed an average of 3 9 bushels to
an acre, but this year unfavorable
weather conditions have reduced the
average yield per acre to 31 bushels.
The crop is estimated at 32,571,000
bushels as against 43,095,000 bushels
last year.
The past season has been one of the
most unfavorable in years for potatoes.
With Incomplete figures the depart
ment estimates the average yield per
acre at 54 bushels as compared with
75 bushels last year and 106 bushels
the year previous.
Although the peach crop was just
slightly over half of that of 1915, the
average price per basket obtained for
the Pennsylvania fruit was 89 cents as
compared with 4 5 cents last year.

Invert by End of Week
Finishing touches are being added
to the Paxton creek invert operations
north of State street by the Stucker
Brothers Construction Company and
by Saturday evening, barring unfavor
able weather or other unexpected de
lays, the gap in the great concrete
gutter will be closed. And with the
completion of this job, Harrisburg's
big improvement program that includ
ed the construction of the river dam,
the river front wall and the creek
invert will be accomplished.
Uains and the difficulties that were
experienced by the contractors in con
trolling the water that frequently
flooded the operations, delayed Stuck
er Brothers Company to some extent
although generally speaking, pretty
good time was- made on the job.
The gap of nearly 100 feet in the
big gutter-drain was left thero last
year in order that the great water
mains to and from the reservoir might
be lowered.
GOLD FLOWING IX STEADY
STREAM
Xew York, Oct. 26. Bankers here
expert that the British treasury will
continue to export gold to this coun
try as fast as the government mints
can handle it. Since Monday of last
week gold valued at $26,000,000 has
entered the local assay office. Since
May 10 the total value of British gold
sent to the United States has reached
$230,000,000. The assay office, it is
understood, stands ready to receive
$15,000,000 a week for an indefinite
period. The British government, ac
cording to bankers, wishes to pay cash
for goods bought here, and while the
proceeds of the various loans have
gone further to meet this requirement
than the actual gold, still the British
officials want to supplement the loans
constantly with more and more gold.
THIS STOPS HAIR
FROM FALLING OUT
Ever try to count the dead fallen
hairs in your comb and brush? They
are nature's advance warning of fu
ture baldness and proof that the dan
gerous little dandruff germ is busy
on your scalp.
Ir. Sangerbund. the famous Paris
specialist, first discovered that dand
ruff and falling hair are caused by a
microbe. Then came the discovery of
the value of the real Parisian Sage
(liquid form) in destroying the dand
ryff germ and promptly preventing the
further loss of hair. The effect of
only three days' use of Parisian Sage
is simply marvelous, and the Ameri
can people have npw awakened to the
fact tha'. dandruff Is Just as unneces
sary as it is unhealthy, and that they
can be quickly rid of it and save
their hair by using a few ounces of
Parisian Sage.
Parisian Sage is sold for not more
than SO cents a large bottle at drug
and toilet counters everywhere. It
is an ideal, daintily perfumed liquid,
free from grease and stickiness, and
will surely cause hair to grow soft,
lustrous and really seem twice as
abundant.

FOODS INCREASE
UNDER WILSON
Families That Paid .*3OO Yearly
When Taft Was President
Now Pay $342
Washington, D. C., Oct. . -A
statement issued from National Re
publican Congressional Committee
headquarters says: Under the Wilson
administration and the Democratic
tariff law the cost to the people of the
United States, for fifteen articles of
food alone has increased in the last
four years approximately one-seventh.
An American family, under the Taft
administration, that spent S3OO per
year for these foods, is now paying
for the same articles, under the Wil
ison administration, $3 42 annually.
Figuring five persons to a family,
'this is an increase of $8.40 for every
man, woman and child In the United
: States, or the stupendous total of more
I than $800,000,000.
Under the Underwood tariff law and.
the Wilson administration the high
cost of living has Increased by leaps
and bounds.
Since June, 1912, tip to June, 1916,
according to the latest available gov
ernment statistics, there has been an
fijoumanZ
HARIIISBURI,, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1010.
I increase of fourteen per cent, in most
lot the staple foods.
Promises Not Kept
The Democrats have not kept their
promise, made in the Baltimore plat
form, to reduce the high cost of liv
ing. On the contrary every family in
the United States is paying higher |
prices for the principal articles of j
food, fourteen per cent, higher than it j
cost them under the Taft admlnlstra- !
j tlon and a Republican tariff law.
i In the Baltimore platform, on which
, Wilson was elected President, is the
I following plank:
The high cost of living is a ser
ious problem in every American
home. The Republican party, in
i its platform, attempts to escape
from responsibility for present
i conditions by denying, that they
i are due to a protective tariff. We I
' take issue with them on this sub- j
ject, and charge that excessive
prices result In a large measure
from the high tariff.laws enacted
and maintained by the Republican
party and from such trusts and
commercial conspiracies fostered
and encouraged by such laws? and
we assert that no substantial re- {
lief can be secured for the peo- |
I pie without import duties on the '
II necessaries of life are materially j
! reduced and these criminal con- ]
LI spiracles broken up.
i i A fourteen per cent, increasp in the '
i j cost of the principal foodstuffs is the:
! way the Democrats and the Wilson'
. i administration have kept this pledge i
• I to the people.
11 The following table, prepared by |
OCTOBER 26, 1916.
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
■ Department of Labor, shows relative j
prices of fifteen of the principal ar- i
tides of food in June of each year, I
! 1912 to 1916, inclusive. To form a
(basis for the table the price for June, !
j 1912, is placed at 100, and the price j
I for each succeeding year Is figured ac
cordingly by the bureau statisticians,
j A careful calculation of this table j
shows that with 100 as a basis fori
1912 the 1916 percentage Is 114, or an <
increase of fourteen per cent, iir the
cost of the combined foodstuffs since !
the declaration of the Democratic plat
form. Following: is the government
table showing the increased cost of
living under Democratic rule:

A Simple Way to
Remove 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 hnlr will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.—Adver
tisement.
