Carlisle Officer Sends
Remarkable Picture From
Battlefield of Verdun
Carlisle, Pa., May 28. —This pho
tograph cost a human life, being one
of the few extant which have done
so. In addition it portrays real war
and is distinctly unique in that it is
probably the only photograph in ex
istence that shows the actual explo
sion, with effects of concussion, of a
lyddite shell used under actual battle
conditions.
Two British officers engaged in ad
vance photographic work essayed to
photograph the terrain on the actual
battle front beside the Bois de Pretre
on the Verdun front. As a plate was
about to be snapped a lyddite shell
struck beside the photographer and
his assistant. The explosion in
stantly killed the camera operator,
but the camera, protected by his
body, was imbedded in the ground.
The jar tripped the .camera' curtain
and exposed the negative while in
the operator's hands. The assistant
was blown back by the explosion and
is shown on the lower edge of the
picture. He was picked up later and
carried to safety. v
Six weeks afterward the imbedded
camera was discovered and the ex
posed plate protected and developed,
with the result seen.
The photograph was sent home by
Lieutenant Stuart, of Carlisle, who
is in the ambulance corps in France.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff
-
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvoit; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the sca'p
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this to-night, and by morning,
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be pone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign 'and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have,
j You 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 better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
