BABRISBURG UfiSAl TEUEGRXPH O'NETL SAYS OUR STATE DID JOB Declares Pennsylvania Made a "Dry" Nation Possible i J. Denny O'Nell, ex-highway com ! missioner and a "dry" crusader for j years, last night issued a statement |on the "dry" amendment, saying , Pennsylvania made it possible. "Pennsylvania has played the big i gest part in the movement to make a dry nation. Few persons seem to know that if it had not been for Pennsylvania that we would not have an amendment to the National constitution obliterating liquor from the country. Pennsylvania is fur nished more votes in Congress to submit the amendment than any | other state in the Union because without 18 congressmen from this i state the resolution submitting the amendment would not have passed. ' We played a wonderful part speak ing from a state standpoint, and 1 have little time or patience for those who go about speaking in a belittling sense of so wonderful a Common wealth. "In France it was the 2 Bth Divi sion that held the line and stopped the Hun on his onward rush toward Paris and in the dry fight it was Pennsylvania that held the line and stopped liquor in its onward rush to our children. "In their effort to keep this state wet the liquor forces spent money and fought like demons and while we kept them continually engaged here where they dumped their money and resources to fight other sections of the Nation—the south and west enrolled in the dry column. "The fight is over and the amend ment approved, Pennsylvania, it is hoped, will join the ratification ranks to-morrow. It means saving of money to taxpayers in general—we shall need less policemen, less offi cers and officials, less judges of the courts, less .jail room, fewer asylums for the insane—in fact, it is the dawn of a real constructive era. Its economic feature of this question is too great for short discussion. Mil lions will be saved." Reds Control Greater Part of Eastern Ukraine Uondon, Fob. 4.—Bolshevist forces now are masters of almost the whole of eastern Ukraine, including the important centers of Kharkov, Pol tava, Ekaterinoslav and the Konetz mining region, according to a Hel singfors dispatch to the Mail.

O'Brien, who has been a barber in New York City for many years, made the following statement: "Gray, streaked or faded hair can be immediately made black, brown or light brown, whichever shade you desire, by the use of the following remedy that you can make at home: "Merely get a small box of Orlex powder at any drug store. It costs very little and no extras to buy. Dis solve it in four ounces of distilled or rain water and comb it through the hair. Directions for mixing and use and gold bond guarantee come in each box. One box will last you I for months "It is perfectly safe, it does not rub off, is not sticky or gummy and leaves the hair l'luffy. It will make a gray haired person look twenty years younger." Half of French Army Lost 1,500,000 killed in battle and an equal number seribusly wounded is the enormous sacrifice of France in the world war. This constituted about half of the men she put into the field a larger ratio of her 36,000,000 population than any other nation gave. America owes France a large debt of gratitude for this heroic outpouring of her life's blood that liberty might live, and also to the peasants of France who discovered a perfect remedy for stomach, liver and intestinal ail ments which is reported to have re lieved incalculable suffering, pre vented many surgical operations and saved thousands of lives. Geo. H. Mayr, a leading Chicago chemist, imports the ingredients and sells this remedy in America under the name of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. It is a simple, harmless prepariyion that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appen dicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. H. C. Kennedy, Clark's Drug Store.
