J LAN TO GET COUNTY "DRYS" TO THE POLLS Jsts Being Prepared to Insure Big Vote at the Primaries As March 20 is the last day for letting on the voters' lists, in town ships, towns and boroughs outside )f third class cities, the Anti-Saloon League, under Dr. E. V. Claypool, s now concentrating all its efforts n the upper end of Dauphin County. Personal appearance is not neces sary when one does not live in a hird class city. Notification to the issessor is all that is needed to qual ify for the primaries and general ?lectlon. Dr. Claypool, in speaking of prep arations for a sterling conflict with :he booze forces observed that Pennsylvania would have been clean ed up twenty years ago if the inde pendent voter had been willing to soil his hands in the '.'mire of dirty politics." The political machine, he said, "seeks the man who can be controlled and not the independent ,-oter. If the latter would only make lis full strength felt vould win handily. Dr. Claypool laid special empha lis upon the fact that many voters ire each year disfranchised andi •obbed of any part in the selection >f candidates, because they have 'ailed to enroll in any political party ind hence could not express a choice is to the candidate. Under such circumstances, Dr. "Maypool added, it is perfectly easy for political machines to nominate their own stamp candidates forj vhom the independent voter is then isked to vote, if he votes at all. Washing Won't Rid Head Of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of iandruff is to dissolve it, then you iestroy it entirely. To do this, get ibout four ounces of ordinary liquid irvon; apply it at night when re iring; use enough to moisten the icalp and rub it, in gently with the inger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning.: nost if not all, of your dandruff vill be gone, and three or four more ipplications will completely dissolve ind entirely destroy every single i lign and trace of it, no matter how nuch dandruff you may have. You will lind, too, that all itching ind digging of the scalp will stop it once, and your hair will be fluffy, ustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and ook and feel a hundred times >etter. You can get liquid arvon at any Irug store. it is inexpensive and lever fails to do the work.

SHELLEY WRITES OF Y, M. C. A. In a Letter to a Friend He Says Association Service Is Very Valuable Another letter has arrived from Carl B. Shelley, a Steelton boy In France, addressed to John D. Nay lor, 2121 South Second street. Steel ton. The tremendous value of the T. M. C. A. service is emphasized by Shelley. Apologizing for his long delay in writing, Shelley tells that he has pounded out eight this particular day, giving the censor some job. "By the number of letters received from Steelton," he says, "we feel that we have not been forgotten by the folks back home. Letters are the one thing that keep a soldier' in good spirits. I believe that if we could live on water that we would prefer mail to grub." "Last night about 9 o'clock we had some excitement; Zeppelins were reported overhead. We could see and hear them and they did not bother us. So we should worry." Plenty of Recreation "Believe me the Y. M. C. A. is a wonderful thing. I do not believe the people back can appreciate its value to a soldier's life. There is a hut about five miles from here and we walk over very often. They al ways have good speakers. Sometimes we can buy American tobacco and cigarets and they always have good things to eat on sale. They have a library, billiard room and places where we can write., They furnish us with all the paper arid envelopes. The Y. M. C. A. deserves the un stinted support of American's entire population. The Red Cross is an other wonderful institution, but un less one has been wounded and treated by them one cannot realize its value. Keep up the good work at home and we will try to do our part. "It is too bad I cannot tell all my adventures; we have had so many, flirting with death, but so far have come through. Next time, maybe, we shall not be so lucky, but why worry, as the French say.
