DILLSBURG ROAD
TRIES NEW CAR
Electric Storage Battery Being
Used Instead of Trolley Sys
tem to Carry Passengers
Dlllsburg, Pa., May 3.—A trial is
being made this week of an electric
car on the Dillsburg branch, using
a storage battery Instead of a trolley.
The car is equipped with heavy
storage batteries and will travel
about eight miles or more and then
the batteries are recharged. The ear
when in service needs no current ex
cept that stored in the batteries and
can travel on any ordinary railroad
track. If the car proves a success,
as it is hoped it will, there will be
no need of an overhead wire and
the poles supporting the wires can
be dispensed with. The bonding of
the rails will also be unnecessary.
This will eliminate a great expense
as the life of the poles is not very
great. On Wednesday the car made
several trips through to Harrisburg.

■ The New Home Treatment
For Ugly, Hairy Growths
(Boudoir Secrets)
Here is a simple, yet very effec
tive method for removing hair and
fuzz from the face, neck and arms;
Cover the objectionable hairs with
a paste made by mixing some water
with a little powdered delatono.
Leave this on for 2 or 3 minutes,
then rub off, wash the skin and the
hairs have vanished. No pain or in
convenience attends this treatment,
but results will be certain if you are
sure to get real delatone.
