MAGICIAN OFFERS FINE JLLUSIONS Leon and Company Mystify Audiences at Majestic Theater Magic 1* featured on the Majestic program for the first three days of the week. Leon and Company pre senting a serie% of interesting and mystifying illusions. Unlike a num ber <)f similar vaudeville offerings, the | usual card passes and sleight-of-hand work is omitted, the company pre ferring to present five or six sensa tional tricks. The leader of the com ( pany claims to be the originator of the illusions and charges another ma gician with having used them without his permission. The disappearance of a woman .after she has been set on fire, and her reappearance on another part of the stage in a glass tank tilled with water, is the illusion which is offered at the close of the act. The other offerings on the bill are fine also. Gear. Marks and Company open with a comedy skit in a clothing store, furnishing fun by mistaking a model for a buyer for a big firm. Kinso is a clever entertainer in a Japanese giggling turn, winning ap plause during his act. Farrell Taylor Company, presenting "The Africa Duke." give a musical i offering in an unusual manner. Last night they were applauded for niin-1 utes, but did not give an encore. A! harp solo, saxaphone solo, by Beatrice I Diamond, and a trio of two saxa- i phones and an accordion, are some of! the musical features. Claude and: Marion Cleveland follow with a line of comedy patter and songs. MAX ROBERTSON'. Washing Won't Rid Head Of Dandruff ■ The only sure way to get rid of. dandruff is to dissolve it, then you | destroy it entirely. To do this, get i about four ounces of ordinary liquid j arvon; apply it at night when re- I tiring: use enough to moisten the I scalp and rub it in gently with the j linger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning. j most if not all. of your dandruff! will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. Yon will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy,' lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and' look and feel a hundred times j better. Tou can get liquid arvon at any] drug store. It is inexpensive andi never fails to do the work.

SUGAR RATIONS ANNOUNCED TO CONSERVE SUPPLY Manufacturers of Sweets to Have Limited Quantity For Their Products If the sugar supply is to meet tho heavy demand of the fruit-preserv ing season, conservation measures more stringent than before, must be applied to the dally consumption, ac cording to announcement by the food administration to-day. For this reason, grocers are for bidden to sell sugar in quantities greater than two to five pounds to town trade, or five to ten pounds, rural trade. Any violation of this rule by any grocer, regardless of the amount of sugar he may have on hand, will bring drastic retributive action by the food administration. As a sugar conservation measure the service in public eating places of sherberts and water ices and their commercial manufacture is strictly forbidden. The sugar shortage is real and acute and it is imperative that family consumption for ordinary uses be kept down to at least twenty per cent, below normal, for it is only in that way that the home preserv ing requirements of the nation may be taken care of. Effective May 15 The food administration will ra tion sugar to all manufacturers of foodstuffs using sugar, with the ex ception of those listed in a small preferred class. The manufacturers supply will be cut down to 80 per cent, of that amount used prior to November 1, 1917. Firms which started in business or expanded their plants after that date will be cut to 5b per cent, of their production after April 1, 191S, will be cut off entirely. These rules will become effective May 15 and were adopted in order to secure a sufficient supply for home canners and the commercial manufacture of Jams and other food stuffs regarded as essential. Producers of non-edible products will be forced to go entirely without sugar, as a survey of the stock on hand and that which will be avail able during the year has shown that careful conservation measures must be adopted. Candy Hard Hit The candy and soft drink trades will be affected by the new regula tions, but it is believed that in the manufacture ofof candy substitutes such as nuts, can be used without appreciably reducing quantity pro duction. Included with the confectionery and soft drinks in the rationing sys tem are condiments, soda water, I chocolate, candies, beverage syrups, flavoring extracts, chewing gum. cocoa, sweet pickles, wines, cereals and invert sugar. Manufacturers of essential food stuffs will be permitted to buy suf ficient sugar to meet their full re quirements. In this class are some preserves and packers of vegetables, catsups j and chili sauce, fruit and milk, man ufacturers of jam, jelly and preser ves, tobacco and explosives, apple butter and glycerine ,ice cream, (not including sherberts and water ices), druggists (for medicine) and pro ducers of honey. Ice Cream Preferred Ice cream is put on the preferred list, it is announced, to assure con ! sumption of surplus milk supplies, ' and thus encourage dairy Interests to I maintain production. Tobacco was placed in this class largely because | the amount of sugar used by tobac | eonists is almost negligible, the chief source of sweets being molasses. | These definite classifications pro tect the patriotic manufacturer who i has been observing the request of | the food administration against com ! peditors who have taken advantage iof the sugar shortage to increase their profits. TO AID RED CROSS Maxwell Hite. auctioneer, in an nouncing for to-morrow the begin ning of a series of public sales of household goods to be held each Wed nesday. agrees to give one-third of his commissions derived from such sales during May and June to the local Chapter of the Ked Cross.

They would sacrifice the future for the present. If we permitted unrestrict ed fishing in the waters of the state a few people would be greatly bene fited for the moment and thousands of tons of fish would be lost to the future, because it has been our ex perience that It takes about one season of unrestricted fishing to un do the work of many seasons of building up the fish supply. I am unalterably opposed to letting down the law, even though it could be done, which it could not except by legislative enactment and I do not believe that will happen." It looks as though the petition circulated by Brua C. Keefer, Federal food ad ministrator for Lycoming county, who wants the public to be permitted to take fish from the Susquehanna and Mononguhela Valley waters by nets, seines and spears will not get very far. All the fishing and angling associations of the state are with j the fish commissioner in this mat- i ter.

Austrian Premier Stirs Czechs by Proclamation By Associated Press liondon, May 7. —The latest de velopments in the Austrian situation apparently can be summarized as "concession to the Germans and threats to the southern slavs," says a dispatch from The Hague to the Daily Mail.
