This minister is well known 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, iust get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), ap ply it at night when retirii.g; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the <inger 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 all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better —Adv. Sleeplessness Corrected by Internal Baths Mr. J. B. Barrows writes Dr. ('Was. A. Tyrrell, of New York, as follows: "t am still using the '.I. B. L. Cas # cade' once a week, and tind it most efficient for keeping me in tine con dition. It acts ns a sedative for tired nerves and has lieen a great help for sleeplessness. I have frequently' ahisen from bed and used it in tne middle of the night with satisfactory results." , , , The reason for this remarkable re -4 suit is because the functions cannot work properly when there is accumu lation of waste in the lower intestine. The ".1. 8.. I'. Cascade," by the simple process of properly applying warm water, eliminates all this waste and causes the functions to work smoothly and properly. Over half a million intelligent Americans are now using the Cascade with similar results. It is the invention of Chns. A. Tyr rell, M. D.. of New York, a noted spec ialist on internal bathing. It will be shown and explained to you by Croll Keller, 40. i Market street, Harrisburg, Pa., who will be giad to give yod an interesting booklet, by I>r Tyrrell, called "Why Man of To- Day Ig Onlv 50 Per Cent.

EVERY AMERICAN ACTS LIKE A HERO [Continued From First Pae.] stretcher on the journey from the front line to the dressing station. Twice in twenty-four hours an American company has assisted French troops in a neighboring sec tor to regain trenches temporarily taken by the Germans. The com pany was led by a captain who took his troops over the top in the face of violent machine gun fire ajnd artillery fire. Each time he suc ceeded in driving out the enemy and inflicting heavy damage and then strengthening the positions. Fighting: to the End A most pathetic story from the American lines is that a young cor poral who was wounded fataYly aft er fighting for four hours. A piece of shrapnel struck him in the head. He I had a grenade in each hand. Giving i them to his companion, he said: I guess 1 m done. Please write | to my mother and tell her how it 'happened. But here—take these I grenades and for God's sake don't waste them." The corporal fell in a faint and died in a hospital the next day with out regaining consciousness. Answering Politely At one point on this sector there were only fifteen yards between the opposing trenches. A day before an attack the Germans threw a note into the American trench. It read: "What are you? Canadians or Australians?" "Come over and find out," was the reply thrown back by an American soldier. The infantryman who related the incident added:' "I guess they know who we are now and they will not be likely to forget for sometime." Braves Heavy Fire One lieutenant in a listening post with a small party of men was cut off from the remainder of the platoon in Friday's attack. He tried to send up rockets to signal an American barrage, but the rockets failed to work. A. private then vol unteered to run back with the mes sage. He passed through three lines of barrage fire without being harmed and delivered the message. The American gunners laid down a bar rage immediately and saved the lieutenant and his party from the hands of a superior force of the enemy which was headed in their direction.
