New Hair Remover in
Demand, Says Druggists
(I'hfUrtlnf Hcninvea Hootn HIII! All!)
Since the virtues of phelactinc as a
hair remover became generally known,
druTeists in this country have been
having a really extraordinary demand
for this remarkable product. The fact
that it actually removes the roots—be
fore one's very eyes—as well as the
surface hairs, is of course mainly re
sponsible for its large and increas+ng
sale. The new method is not to be com
pared at all with the usual depilatory,
electrical or other processes. It is en
tirely safe, non-irrritating, non-poison
ous. ' odorless —and instantaneous! A
stick of phelactine, used in accordance
with the simple instructions which ac
company it, can be purchased anywhere
on a money-back basis, so certain is it
to satisfy and delight the user.—Adver
tisement.

TRAINING CAMPS
TO OPEN MAY 1
Pcnnsylvaniaßs Will Drill at
Madison Barracks and
Fort Niagara
The elimination of Plattsburg and
the other civilian training camps lor
this summer has caused considerable
speculation among men who had' tiled
applications for admission to the
camps. Provision had been made for
these men, and for officers of the re
serve corps, in the order issued yester
day afternoon by the War Depart
ment, announcing the location of the
officers' training camps. The differ
ence between the former Plattsburg,
Fort Oglethorpe, Fort Benjamin Har
rison and Monterey camps and those
that will be established next month
is that attendance at, camp this mim
mer implies an obligation to enter the
army in the capacity of an officer, if
such commission be granted at the
conclusion of the training period.
According to advices from Wash
ington, the camps will be ready May
1 and the bourse of instructions will
begin one week later. Pcnnsylvan
ians will go into camp at Madison !
Barracks, New York, where part of
Xew York State and the Tenth, Elev
enth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth,
Twenty-first, Twenty-fifth and Twen
ty-eighth Congressional districts of
Pennsylvania will be located. Fort Ni
agara, New York, a very attractive
location, will be the training ground
for the remainder of the Pennsylvania
contingent, including men from Phila
delphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
Recruiting for the Plattsburg
camps has been held up pending the
War Department's announcement, but
will be resumed in accordance with
the new provisions at once. Harris
burg will be well represented if the
interest shown in the training camp
Idea is any criterion.
The camp for the New England
States will probably be at Fort Ethan
Allen, and Plattsburg barracks will be
used for a part of the New York State
contingent. New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia will in all
probability send their quota to Fort
Meyer, Va., and the other States will
have camps at convenient and suitable
points. Transportation, subsistence
and uniforms will be provided for the
officers-to-be by the Government.

What effect the acceptance of the

choice and the distribution of the re
mainder will be made by Government
officials.

ager of Swift & Company here, when
Interviewed this morning, as to
whether the plans of the Chicago
packers would have any effect locally,

lion concerning the matter yet, but
that it was altogether likely that the
small companies will not be affected
greatly at present.
