As a result, it adds, "the whole of the \yorking classes of Belgium are threat ened with slavery, starvation or death."

THIS STOPS HAIR FROM FALLING OUT Ever try to count the dead hairs in your comb and brush? They are na ture's advance warning of future bald ness and proof that the dangerous lit tle dandruff germ is busy on your scalp.

MUST BE REMOVED FROM RIVER WALK Ice Is Melting Away, but Dirt and Debris Cling to Concrete $25.00 KKWARD 1 e A reward of $25.00 will be paid | to anyone who will furnish infor | mation that will lead to the arrest n and conviction of the party or _ ! parties guilty of maliciously tear . ing down side walls, bridges,, . benches, etc., at Tulip Spring, Wildwood Park. E. Z. GKOSS, Commissioner. P Park Commissioner Gross will tind u 1 his hands more than full with the - j disappearance of the mountains of ice e | along the "front steps" of Harrisburg. . j Along the lower walk thousands of " ! tons of ice forced in during the re it;cent flood is piled high and its re - j moval will be due solely to the hot g j rays of the sun. As a result of this 0 | there will be enormous quantities of i debris and dirt that must be removed | without delay and this will probably , have to be done with the assistance iof the Department of Public Safety „ ;and the use of tire hose. It is thought - i that a tire engine upon a Hat along - I the steps would be the most effective s i way. to dispose of the rubbish. ° Incidentally the riprapping of the " | slope will then be the next, thing in e j order and it has l>t>en shown .by the - high water .that " t'e or no damage n j would have res'. had the slope *! been treated as is now proposed by "• j the Department of Parks. i It is also understood. that Commis | sioner Gross will give full attention las soon ;u possible to heavy planting - jof the slope in order that the erosion from the top of the embankment may jbe checked. It is said that lines will | be marked along the river park be - ! tween Maclay and Division streets for | the filling out of the Park strip be -1 1 yond the western curb line. Huge Dump at lioas Street n 1 Much will necessarily have to be - | done during the Spring to put the - j park along the river in shape and it - | is expected plans will be formulated r iat once by those in authority. r j Commissioner Gross and Assistant - i V. Grant Forrer are making efforts to '■ ! learn who has been dumping debris, e ashes and refuse over the river bank ) at Boas street. Huge piles of rub -3 bish which have been dumped there i must be removed by the Park de e j partment, and prosecutions will re y j suit if the offenders are caught. e I To Arrest Vandals t j Although some of the dirt was put s j there with snow from the city streets, e | Assistant Forrer declared persons have i been using the place as a public dump' i | for all kinds of rubbish. Workmen at Wildwood park re e ( ported that the platform, sidewalks, ? J also guard rails on the rustic bridges s i and other improvements at "Tulip e j Spring" had been destroyed or great -1 ly damaged. Repairs have been - started, but, according to park offl - cials, it will require several days to - complete them. A number of bench -1 es at the top of the ravine were thrown into the stream running from ' the creek, and large stones hurled on top of them. • The Park department issued a warn ing against vandalfsm of this sort and arrests will be made if necessary. Park officers do not know who destroyed the benches and small bridges.

An Effective Laxative For Growing Children Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Highly Recommended as a Family Remedy. In children the slightest irregular ity of the bowels has a tendency to disturb the entire digestive system, and unless promptly remedied invites serious illness. The experienced mother knows that by training her children to regularity in this respect, and when occasion arises administer ing a mild laxative, she will have lit tle need for the doctor's services. Mrs. Leo Weigand, 3251 Central Ave., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa., whose two boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown in the illustration, writes that she has 1 found Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a most effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself, and that she will always keep it in the house to use when needed. Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts easily and naturally, with out griping or other pain or discom fort. I is pleasant to the taste so that children like it, and is equally effective on the strongest constitution. Deaths and Fanerals SKl!Vll'h'S I'Olt >1 IIS.
