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.

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. I

best record in the city in the sale of
| the stamps." Over *I,OOO worth of

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.

ning of a series of public sales of
household goods to be held each Wed

versaUon on this
subject with a Telegraph representa
tive recently he said: "The people
who believe that the law should be
set aside so that fish by the ton could
be taken from the streams in nets
and seines are not conservationists, to
put the matter verymildly. 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
