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 linger tips. By, morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or lour more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter i>ow much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and l your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glos-I sy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred tlmeß better.—Advertisement How to Relieve Catarrhal Deafness or Head Noises If you have catarrh, catarrhal deaf- i ness or head noises caused by catarrh, or it phlegm drops in your throat and I has caused catarrh of the stomach or ' bowels you will be Kind to know that these distressing symptoms may oe en- i tirelv overcome in many instances by the following treatment which you can I easily prepare in your own home at lit- i tie cost.

WOULD PERMIT COUNCIL TO FILL VACANCIES [Continued From First Page] existing vacancies or any that may occur after the passage of the amend ments. Provision is made that the j appointments remain effective only until the first Monday In January j following the next regular election, at I the regular election voters will be ! given the power to elect commission i crs to fill the vacancies, thus saving the heavy expense of a special elec tion. In case of a tie yote and the vacancy is not tilled within the time limit upon petition of ten or more qualified elec tors the court of common pleas may make the appointment. The amendment if passed will save Dauphin county at least $6,000, as the four commissioners to City Commls sioiner Harry F. Bowman, whose death leaves a vacancy in the City Council of Harrisburg. Resolutions were introduced auth orizing officials of the Law Commit tee to call to the attention of the Leg islative Keference Bureau the need for an amendment to the Clark act to provide registration of electors for any special elections that may be cal led in a city of the third class. To Eliminate Non-Partisan Clause Mayor Miles B. Kitts, of Erie, told the solicitors that he had learned of a move to eliminate the non-partisan clause from the Clark act, referring to candidates for Council; and that it was also rumored that a bill will be introduced providing for the district ing of cities so that each of the four commissioners will represent (certain wards, while the Mayor will be voted for by the entire registered list of electors. Many Changes Suggested A lengthy amendment to the Clark act, similar to the one which was vetoed in 1915 by Governor Brum baugh, was presented at the meeting and favored, with minor changes. This amendment provides changes in many of the sections of the original act, the most important of which are: Lengthening the term of city com missioners to four years. Giving council power of local self government when not inconsistent with the Constitution or laws of the State. Providing for uniform tax, rates in case of annexation. Initiative and referendum provis ions not to apply to annexation pro ceedings. Advertisements for supplies shall not be required except where the amount exceeds $250. Additions to trades and businesses that may be taxed. Regulations for removal of obstruc tions and for trimming and care of shade trees. Providing for construction and maintenance of municipal boat audi bathhouses.. Giving the mayor power to commit prisoners to city or county prisons not exceeding ninety days, instead of thirty dayß as heretofore Fixing terms of city clerks, city so licitors, city treasurers, and city con trollers at four years. A committee including City Solicitor James A. Gardner, of New Castle- Mayor Kitts, of Erie; F. I'. Schoon maker, Bradford and Ira L. Stratton of Reading, was named to select a member of the Legislature to present the amendment, for action. Fox on Committee Solicitor Fox, M. C. Rhone, of Wil liamsport, and Mr. Schoonmaker were named to draw up a bill on the amendments providing for filling va cancies in Council. These committees will work together. The committee favore{ a law pro viding for State registration of plum bers, and passed a proposed amend ment giving cities more power in plumbing inspection work. Another plan sanctioned was that of serial bonds for Indebtedness, pay able In less than five years Instead of adding money for this purpose to sinking funds. During the remainder of the morn ing session proposed bills restricting bill posting were discussed. ALL FURS REDUCED FRED B. HARRY Successor to ~ H. iC. DODGE 17 N. 3rd St. JANUARY 30, 1917. Q KDWIiV CLAPP A\l) STETSON MIIOES FOll MEN The Shoe Is Beyond We and other shoe stores have spoken lately about the sharp rise of leather. The news columns of the press like wise have noted that fact. But the gravity of the situation has not been realized by the public—they took it as part of the general ripe in the cost of living. The matter is more serious. The price of the better grades of leather has tripled over prices before the war and is still on its skyrocket course. Shoes as a result jump in price over night, often SI.OO a pair, and no one can predict the end. The truth is our leather and hides have gone to foreign countries by the millions of dollars' worth, while all Europe has an embargo against us on leather, and South America can get no shipping. So these normal sources of supply of much of our leather are cut off and our domestic leather—not enough under ordinary conditions —is being exported. So we consider it proper to speak of this to the public tney can form as good an opinion of the outcome as any shoe man.

He also endorsed Sena tor Polndexter's proposal to place all postmasters under civil service.

The President told Senator Poindex ter, author of an amendment to the legislative, judicial and executive ap propriation bill, adopted by the Sen ate, which would extend the civil ser vice requirements to all postmasters, that ne tavored the change.

The Folly Of faking Digestive Pills A Warning to Dyspeptics The habit of taking digestive pills after meals makes chronic dyspeptics of many thousands of men and women because artificial digestents, drugs and medicines have practically no influence upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach contents which is the causa of most forms of indigestion and dys pepsia. The after dinner pill merely lessens the sensitiveness of the stomach nerves and thus gives a false sense of free | dom from pain. If those who are sub ject to indigestion, gas. flatulence, belching, bloating, heartburn, etc., after eating would get about an ounce of pure bisurated magnesia from their druggist and take a teaspoonful in a little water after meals, there would be no further necessity for drugs or medicines because blsurnteil magnesia Instantly neutralizes stomaefi aciditv. stops food fermentation and thus in sures normal, painless digestion bv en abling the stomach to do its work without hindrance.
