It is absolutely necessary to be in good health.
A vast number of women neglect the very
foundation of all beauty—the general health.
To really look well, you must really feel well.
Beauty is nature's priceless gift to women, but
to possess it they must first take care
To Have a
Wealth of Health
There is an easy way to make the charm of
sparkling eye and unclouded brow—of spotless
complexion, rosy, smiling lips and vivacious
spirits—your very own. .
You can quickly correct conditions of nervous
headache, chronic indigestion, unaccountable
lassitude, depression and frequent functional
irregularities. These conditions that tend to
extinguish attractiveness, and render brightness
and gaiety of mind impossible, are usually pre
ventable. To attain and retain the true bloom
of health what you need do is to systematic

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."

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. It is
reported that a Soviet government
has been established at Kharkov,
the president being M. Rakovsky,
one of the signatories to the Brest-
Litovsk treaty with Germany.
Mifflin County Prisoners
Supported Themselves
I.CTrlirtown, Feb. 4.—Mifflin couhty
prisoners worked a total of 1056 days
during 1918, earning their board,
fifty cents per day, and enough mon
ey to buy shoes, clothing and tobacco
for themselves and families. Sheriff
M. A. Davis declares their health a/.d
habits were improved beyond an esti
mation of dollars and cents by their
open air work.
Barber Gives Recipe
For Gray Hair
Mr. A. E. 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,
