Grocer Promptly
Don't Make Him Wait
He depends upon the incoming
money which his customers owe him to
meet HIS bills—
He PAYS HIS bills promptly.
He must meet HIS obligations in
order to remain in business.
His profits are SMALL.
Don't drive your grocer out of busi
ness by making him "carry you on the
books" indefinitely.
Pay your grocer PROMPTLY and
REGULARLY.
Your grocer renders you a great
service.
He maintains full stocks to give you
a wide selection.
He has to pa}/ big prices for paper,
twine and delivery.
Try to give him your "entire day's
order" at one time so that he won't have
to deliver a small package to you two
and three times a day.
Do you realize that the delivery of a
small package costs more than the
profit on that package?

POLICE FORCED
TO TAKE PART
IN VARE ROW
Philadelphia District Attorney
Declares Department Is
Discredited
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Oct. 4.—Further
sensational revelations in tho investi
gation into tho factional contest
which culminated in the killing by
New York gunmen of a policeman on
primary election day, September 19,
were promised when the hearing of
Mayor Smith and eight codefend
ants, charged with conspiracy to'
commit aggravated assault and mur
der In connection with tho row. was
resumed in municipal court to-day.
More than a score of witnesses
have testified during the hearing to
the alleged activity of tho police,
backed by the mayor, to secure the
nomination of Isaac Doutsch, the
Vare leader in the Fifth ward, as a
candidate for select councilman;
testimony of other witnesses has
tended to connect Stato Senator E.
H. Varo and his brother, Congress
man William S. Varo, with the caso,
and one witness named Senator Vare
as the man who was to furnish tho
money to bring tho gunmen here for
election work In tho ward.
A number of witnessos are yet to
bo examined and It was announcod
that the hoarlng may not bo con
cluded until to-morrow.
District Attorney Rotnn announced
that additional arrests probably
i would be made to-day.
Police on Trial
Prior to the opening of the hcar
rng to-day, Congressman John R. K.
Scott, a supporter of tho Vares and
acting for the police department, ap
peared before Judge Martin in com
mon pleas court and failed In an
other effort to have Samuel G. Ma
loney released from the parole plac
ing him In the care of James Gay
Gordon, counsel for Isadore Stern,
who Is prosecuting Mayor Smith.
Scott declared that the District
j Attorney talked as though ho was
j representing Maloney instead of the
i people.
Mr. Rotan flared tip and exclaim
| ed: "You represent a discredited po
; lice department."
Judge Martin here interrupted the
i personalities and asked the District
j Attorney what objection ho would
| have to Malonoy going before the
•1 magistrate. Rotan replied that the
! police department, or at least a large
' portion of It, was on trial and that
i lie did not want the commonwealth's
\ witnesses terrorized or Intimidated
| by the police.
Split Graft
I Tho first witness called was Her
; hert Harris, a policeman, who said
the was transferred from the Fifth
I ward to a West Philadelphia district
because he would not turn In for
I Isaac Deutsch. Harris testified
j Deutsch told him that he was boss
! in the ward. Lieutenant Bennett told
| him to work for Deutsch because
| Carey had been "wiped off tho map."
Harris also said he found a Greek
I openly selling liquor on Sunday. This
j man, Harris said, admitted ho was
paying $75 a month for protection
and that It was being split three
| ways. Harris added that he was later
accused of taking a dollar from the
| man and was threatened with being
tried by tho police board, but was
never called. He denied taking the
j dollar.
Another policeman transferred be
j cause ho would not support Deutsch
| was Thomas K. Foster. He testified
I that Deutsch told him he had seen
! the mayor, thrown his hat in the
J ring and had the works behind him.
j Thirteen more policemen were
j called and all testified they had been
| transferred from the Fifth ward
j station to other districts because they
{ would not support Deutsch. Eight
j nave similar testimony yesterday.
Three firemen also testified they
j were transferred from their home
listricts to others because they would
not support Deutsch.

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
I fails to remove dandrufif completely
■ and that Is to dissolve it. This de
'istroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en 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 com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffv,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It Is inexpensive, anil
four ounces Is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail. —Adv.

Lincoln Forges Ahead With
#3O; Other Ruildings Are
Rig Contributors
Mlbs Alice R. Eaton, head of the
local War Library Campaign, Is very
much disappointed with tho small

Wlerman, $10; Story League, $31.85;

Eby, $10; David Kaufman, $5; Paul
Johnston, $lO.
Of the million dollar fund which
Is being contributed by tho nation,
$350,000 has been contributed by tho
Carnegie Foundation. Miss Eaton
deeply appreciates tho energy of the
schoolchildren who are enthusiastic
over the fund. One little boy bitter
ly regretted the absence of his father
Who would give him the. money to
help tho soldiers read. The Lin
coln building was tho blue ribbon
contributor, with S3O; Vernon build
ing contributed $11.49; Forney build
ing, $11.31; Woodward building.

Supports Liberty Loan
Paul Ijittlefield, general secretary

to-day issued a statement that un
der the act of 1917, corporations
may Invest surplus In liberty Ix>an
Bonds without asking consent of
tholr stockholders, which he says
makes It lawful for boards or exe
cutive committees to make such
investments at once.
The statement says: •
"All Pennsylvania corporations
should Invest as large an amount
of their surplus funds as possible in
the new Liberty Bonds.
"An act of assembly approved July
B, 1917, expressly authorizes cor
porations Incorporated under the
laws of Pennsylvania to invest all
their surplus funds in bonds of the
United Htates Government issued for
war purposes, without obtaining the
consent or approval of the stock
holders. This makes It lawful for
boards of directors and executive
