Dandruff Surely Destroys the Hair v. , Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in genUy with the finger 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. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

E. Beidleman, candidate for L..' eu " tenant Governor, as the best friend labor has ever had at the State Capi tol, at a dinner tendered him at Wilkes-Barre last night. Senator Beidleman started his tour of the anthracite fields and will spend the balance of the week in the upper end counties. He was at Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre yesterday. To-day he will tour the Wyoming Valley and to-morrow goes to Scranton and vi cinity. No candidate has ever received a greater welcome than the Senator got from the various labor crafts last night. The Central Labor Union of the Wyoming Valley, which takes in all the crafts, united with the min ers' chiefs in showing him that the laboring force believes itself indebt ed to him and intends to repay him with the best vote it can, May 21. When he entered t.he dining room there were rousing cheers. He was referred to as being on the side of every labor bill that labor in general has advocated in the past ten years. The miners paid tribute to him as being responsible for bringing about the passage of the Catlin bill, which placed mine workers under compen sation the same as other laboring men. There were several speeches from union leaders, who had been at Har risburg during the different sessions and each ,of the men declared that Bei'llfman's record was such that every labor man should not only vote for him, but take off his coat and work for him. Senator Beidleman made a short speech in which he declared that he had been fair with labor and that, if elected to the office to which he aspires, he surely would have no cause for changing his views on the labor question. Following the din ner he went to Nanticoke, where he met many Republicans and received a fine reception. United States Government Hopes to Cut Losses in Train Elimination Washington, May 14.—■-Director General JVlcAdoo yesterday ordered curtailment of transcontinental pas senger schedules from Chicago west, effective June 2, to save 11,728,000 train miles a year, by eliminating competition and cutting down run ning schedules. The curtailment, with reductions previously made, are expected to re sult in a saving of about $18,000,000 a year. Under the new arrangement the Santa Fe will be the principal road carrying passenger traffic from Chicago to Los Angeles; the Chicago and Northwestern, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific to San Fran cisco; the Burlington and Northern Pacific to Portland, Ore., and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul to Seattle. Fast trains will make the trip to all four Pacific coast terminals in seventy-two hours and secondary trains in seventy-eight hours. Extra fares now charged on a few fast trains will be eliminated. Mail schedules will be rearranged to establish a parity for all the ter minals and intermediary commer cial centers, so that the new plan will not discriminate against any city. The reductions are to be ef fected mainly by taking off a num ber of local trains and adding their traffic to the through trains, whose length and running schedules conse quently will be increased. The public will be adequately served under the new arrangement, said a railroad administration an nouncement, but probably more up per berths will be sold. A similar curtailment is now be ing worked out for southwestern territory. About 35,000,000 train miles already have been saved in the eastern district. Railroad Notes Harry u.

GRAFT AND CRIME HAVE FREE REIN IN ALL GERMANY Religion Loses Hold and "Might Makes Right" Doc trine Grows Daily WaHhtnKton, May 14. Germany throughout is graftridden and seeth ihg with profiteering scandals. Crimes, both against person and property, go unchecked and the tide of juvenile delinquency and adult immorality make new high records dally. Religion has lost its hold upon even the elemental minds in the rur al district and the doctrine of "Might Makes Right" rules in every village. These are high lights In a remark able report that has come to the Gov ernment detailing existing conditions in Germany. The Information comes from a source that is a guarantee of its veracity and authority. It is of the most complete character and comprisel detailed reports dealing with exact conditions in Austria- Hungary is in course of preparation. The German report includes stat istics of suicides, defalcations, bur glaries and other kinds of robbery, assaults, murders, illegitimate births, food hoarding and graft. It con cludes with the deduction that the evil Nietschean philosophy of Ger many has come to roost and that the war-weary country, harried in bat tles on foreign fields, faces disorgan ization and anarchy at home. People Pnyl f Piper The plain people ol Germany, tax ridden beyond all precedent in his tory, are paying the piper. Until re cently, they paid without much mur muring, but the terrific battle losses sustained on the western front com ing in connection with the ferocious attacks by some of the bolder news papers upon the grafters have bred in the people a sullen, smouldering anger that threatens dally to break the barriers of autocratic restraint. These crimes against the people by the profiteers of Germany are symp toms of the social disorder In the larger communities. There men and women of criminal instincts, released from the overawing influence of the strong men who have gone to the trenches, are taking the laws into their own hands. They have proved entirely too powerful for the aged and infirm men who comprise the present police forces. These lawless spirits, knowing the example set by the profiteers, are running riot, preying upon the weak and taking what they please. Most appalling of all the statistics are those showing the astounding in crease in the suicides of children. While the Kaiser, his cabinet and medical advisers have been exerting all their suasion in an "(Tort to in crease the birth rate of the empire, the hapless children of ages ranging from 8 to 18 have been killing them selves by drowning, hanging, shoot ing, suffocation by gas and other routes leading away from the dread hardships and harsh discipline of life in Germany to-day. Tragedy Stalkn Through Streets A widow receives an allowance of 25 cents a week from the old age in surance fund, but widows of soldiers, and they are everyhere in Germany, receive an added amount. They are being urged and the urge Is virtual ly an imperial order that they might forget their grief at the death of their husbands and must somehow anyhow bring into being more chil dren for the glory and defense of Germany. Tragedy stalks through the streets, sits at every table, Germany to-day is like a wounded rattlesnake that, striking venomously at its foes, turns and buries its poisoned fangs in its own flesh.
