'Beautiful, fluffy hair makes you look (years younger. Many a plain, un ieromising face is given an air of jbeauty and distinction because the lhair is beautiful and well kept. Women would do well to pay more to the hair. It is suggest |ed that the scalp be kept perfectly j clean and free from dandruff by (means of regular shampoo and I cleansing treatment with Parisian 1 sage. Parisian sage is a hair treatment 'which has been known to the pro- Ifession for many years.

Let her acquire the mercollzed wax habit, discarding make-ups entirely, and she will soon have the kind of complexion that women envy and men admire. It's so- easy to get an ounce of merco lizcd wax at any drugstore, use night ly like cold cream and wash it oft mornings. And the results are so re markable. Gradually the lifeless cuti cle peels off. In almost Invisible flaky particles. In a week or so there's a brand new complexion, clear, velvety, soft, of girlish color and texture. The treatment is so simple, harm less and so marvelously effective, the wonder is that every woman whose skin is withered, discolored, rough, freckled or pimpled, has not already adopted it.

Pbladeipbia& Reading Railroad TUESDA^EVENING/ known, the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce devoted all of Its efforts to helping win the war. The duty of the new administration was to aid, as much as possible, in the re adjustment and reconstruction work that was necessary to put the city, Btate and nation on a firm footing." "The Chamber of Commerce Is at all times equipped and qualified to handle effectively, any emergen cies which may arises. In this readi ness to serve alone may be found one of the organisation of this kind.' "The housing problem, probably the moat Important , Is a very diffi cult one. Undoubtedly the agitation on the part of the Chamber was largely the cause of the large In crease In building permits Issued this year. The problem haa not yet been solved for Harrlsburg. The housea i being built are neither sufficient in ! number or of the right kind to give us the answer. Much work remains for the new administration In this field. "One of the important matters started during the year and one which wus not included In the pro gram of work, is that of a federation of charities. Everyone will agree that there have been too many cam paigns for money, and we all know of a number now under consider ation. The plan under discussion by our Public Affairs Committee, and which it is earnestly hoped will be solved before another year, is to have one big .campaign, after ascertaining the annual needs of all Harrlsburg Institutions which find it necessary to go to the public for money. This would include institutions like the hospitals the Children's Industrial Home, Sylvan Heights Orphanage, Y. M. C. A.,Y. W. C. A., Nursery Home, Rescue Missions, Red Cross, Salvation Army, *id many others. The scheme is much like the war chest Idea in use at a number of places during the war, and the ad vantages are so self-evident that It Is not necessary to take the time to point them out. "One matter of great satisfaction to your Board has been the wonder ful gain in members this year. On January Ist there were 731 members, and to-day we have 976, a gain of 243, or 33 per cent. This gain, from which has been deducted the normal losses due to death, removal from the city and resignation, is particluarly gratifying in view of the fact that so many applications came voluntarily and shows that an increasingly large number of people regard it an honor and a distinction to belong to the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce and to participate in the work the Chamber is doing for the welfare of the community." "The Chamber of Commerce co operated with other organizations in Harrisburg in extending to the re turned service men a hearty wel come, opening opportunities, to en able them again to take their prop er places In the civil life of the community. "Early in the year the Chamber in co-operation with the State Em ployment Bureau and the United l States Employment Service conduct- | ed a census of the industrial enter prises of Harrisburg and secured from every employer the promise to r?}nstate his soldier ex-employes. A'Sa result the Chamber was direct ly instrumental In providing em ployment for seven hundred to one thousand service men. A meeting of all local welfare agencies also was held in the Chamber offices, through the activities of Chamber officials co-operating with represent atives of the United States Army, and arrangements were made for co ordinating all local efforts in behalf of the soldier unemployed, with the result that the question ceased to be an Issue at an early date in the pres ent year.

Industrial Efficiency "The Chamber made an effort to bring about greater industrial effici ency, thereby reducing costs while maintaining a high wage scale, which In turn Increased production through lower selling price and In consequence employment for a greater number of people. ' "Employers of Industrial workers and otherH have been urged to main tain for their employes a fair scale of wuges, reasonable working hours, and facilities for recreation, both mental and physical. "The Chamber has assisted in the national effort to extend and develop our trade. Charles Lyons Chandler, foreign expert of the Corn Exchange Bank of Philadelphia, was secured to point out the possibilities of for eign trade relations at a luncheon meeting during the year. "The Chamber of Commerce Is preparing an authentic account of Harrlsburg's part in the World War, both at home and through Its men In service. The organization through the mail men completed a census which will place In their hands the record of every soldier, sailor and marine of Harrlsburg. The his torical committee of which B. M. Need Is chairman, Is preparing a history of the activities of all the war organizations at home, as well as the peace-time agencies which co operated in war activities. "The Chamber Is promoting the construction of a suitable memorial to the soldiers and sailors from Har rlsburg who served the nation dur ing the World War. A Chamber of Commerce committee, through co operation with Arnold W. Brunner, New York landscape architect who designed the plans for the Capitol Park extension and memorial bridge project, has completed plans for a dignified granite and bronze shaft topped with a flagpole, the whole surrounded by a granite open-air rest 7 station, and augmented by a park, to be situated at Thirteenth and State streets, as a culmination of the Capitol Park and Memorial bridge 'plans. A committee of 125 citizens is engaged In the task of carrying the project to completion. City Improvements "The Chamber has developed a plan for the partial solution of Har risburg's most serious and most difficult problem. More than two hundred houses have been erected in Harrlsburg since the first of 1918, largely, it has been conceded, through the publicity attendant upon the efforts of the Chamber's housing committee In showing how vitally new dwelling structures were needed In the city. A survey conducted under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce with the co operation of the Civic Club, dis closed the fact early last spring that only thirty-eight vacant houses ex isted in Harrlsburg. As a result of the survey, the Chamber Installed In the offices of the organization, a housing bureau with a capable housing secretary, who listed more than 1,600 vacant rooms, and as many vacant houses as there were in the city at that time, for the ben efit of home seekers. Since its In stallation, the bureau has been In strumental in placing 1,200 people in suitable homes, these Including everything from rooms at fifteen dollars a month to apartments at one hundred and fifty dollars a month. "The Chamber encourages the buiding of new, up-to-date office buildings, to supply new quarters for Harrlsburg's rapidly-expanding trade. The office building situation has been relie.ved greatly through the opening up for office tenants of the Keystone Building, formerly the Star Independent building, In South Third street, the construction of an eight-story office building from the old Board of Trade Butlding, and the installation of more than thirty of fices in the rear building of the Telegraph Printing Company. "The organization is urging the construction at the earliest possible moment in the most desirable lo cation of a public comfort station. Funds for the comfort station have been appropriated and action awaits the determination of a proper loca tion. Capable authorities are pro viding arguments in favor of the proposed location In Market Square and at the courthouse, and a refer endum of the Chamber membership will then be taken to determine the state of public sentiment regarding a location. "The Chamber of Commerce is ready to co-operate with the Har risburg Hospital authorities at any time in their proposed extension to the Harrisburg Hospital. "The Chamber of Commerce is endeavoring to secure the erection, at the earliest possible moment, of a well-equipped contagious disease hospital. At the expense of the Chamber of Commerce, Dr. John H. Stokes, of the Mayo Clinic, con ducted a cursory survey of the city and its needs, and made recommen dations for a contagious disease hos pital. Again at. the request of the Chamber of Commerce, a special committee of the State Health De partment drew up specifications and prepared blue prints for a proposed contagious disease hospital. These plants and prints were submitted to the city and county commissioners with a request for favorable action, at a luncheon meeting in the Har risburg Club, recently. The Cham ber of Commerce will co-operate with the city and county authorities In any action they take looking to ward the erection of such a hospi tal. "The Chamber has adopted the construction of a new Joint city hall and courthouse which will ade quately meet the present and future needs of the city and county and which will be in keeping with the standing of the community. "The Chamber of Commerce has been the Instigator of publicity which is preparing the public to take action in this vitally important matter. At present circumstances are such that it is impossible to take more definite action than to arouse public opinion to the stage where it will take aggressive meas ures to bring about the elimination of toll at the bridges. "The Chamber of Commerce urg ed the removal of poles and over head wires in the business district City authorities now are engaged in the task of removing overhead wires downtown, and placing them un derground. Where these unsightly wires have existed, measures are be ing taken for their elimination. "A committee has been especially active on this project and has adopt ed the building codes of Rochester, New York and Wilkes-Tiarre, Pa., as a basis for a code which is now being prepared for Harrlsburg, and which will 1 be submitted to the city council in ft short time. "Much helpful publicity has ema nated from the Chamber offices on this subject, resulting in the care ful consideration on the part of manufacturers, of ways and means for the elimination of unnecessary I smoke. The campaign has spread to other agencies outside of tho Chamber of Commerce, railroud of ficials, for instance, taking nn active Interest in smoke abatement. A I special committee of Pennsylvania | Railroad employes is engaged in combating the nuisance, with splen did results. To further create pub lic sentiment in favor of smoke abatement measures, the active Chamber committee on smoke abatement brought W. E. Porter, of Pittsburgh, chief of the Pittsburgh bureau of smoke regulation, to Har rlsburg to address a noon-day lunch eon meeting of the Chamber, and an evening meeting of manufactur ers and their employes, on smoko abatement measures. Manufactur ers have been personally Importun ed to utlllzo smoke abatement meas ures. "The Chamber In an advisory way has extended Its co-operation all through the year. The executive de partment of tho city government ha* kept In close touch with tho organi zation, and has referred numerous problems to the Chamber for solu tion. The Chamber has pointed out many projects worthy of official consideration, and has co-operated In municipal movements for the es tablishment of an aeroplane field, has recommended plans for a conta gious disease hospital, and other projects. "A committee from the Chamber membership has secured the co operation of Mayor Kelster, with the result that employes of the police department are aiding In the com pilation of a report on the result of the survey, which will be sub mitted In the near future. Schools and Welfare "A committee from tho Chamber is co-operating with school authori ties to secure a report of the re sults of the school survey conducted recently at the expense of the Cham ber. "The Chamber has co-operated with public school teachers In furnishing Information regarding the city, for use In classrooms. The civic gov ernment classes of Technical High School have used the Chamber's offi cial bulletin for classroom work In the study of municipal affairs. "The social center committee of the Chamber has extended Its sup port to Clarence E. Zorger, super visor of special activities in the school district of Harrisburg, in the establishment of social centers at the Camp Curtin and Edison Junior High Schools. "A committee on Americanization Is co-operating- with Mr. Zorger in securing an accurate census of the number of foreign-born employes of the manufacturing establishments throughout the city, in order that they can be reached for Americani zation purposes. "Consideration was given to this subject, and an increased approprla ton will be urged when the con sideration of the subject shows the immediate necessity for more funds. A community music committee from the Chamber after closing a busy summer season replete with community music, now in turning its attention to the winter work. During the summer two dozen band concerts and community singing concerts sup plied the need for community music in Harrisburg. Concerts were ren dered weekly at Reservoir Park, and twice monthly at Fourth and Seneca streets. All of these band concerts were featured by community singing, arranged through collaboration with the War Camp Community Service. Six band concerts concluded the sum mer program on Labor Day. The committee was active in securing the passage of a bill in the Legislature legalizing the appropriation of public funds for band concerts, and secured from City Council an appropriation of SSOO to augment the committee's fund of S7OO, for free concerts. "The industrial committee has in vestigated the feasibility of the con struction of a belt line railroad en circling the city between Middletown and Rockvllle, and a decision on this question can be expected within a reasonable time. "The Chamber of Commerce advo cated the improvement of all high ways leading to and through Harris burg, to make Harrisburg the hub of the best roads in the East. "This is being accomplished rapid ly through the aggressive leadership of the new administration of the State Highway Department. The Chamber has aided in making Harris burg the hub of Pennsylvania's rap idly improving highway system, by placing on every road leading to Harrisburg, for a distance of 50 miles signs directing motorists to the Capi tal City. "The Chamber through Its manu facturers' council has done much to aid Harrisburg's manufacturers. Help ful discussions resulting in increased production hae taken place at meet ings of the council, and they have furnished the common meeting ground for manufacturers with prob lems to solve and suggestions to make. "The 44 Cigar Company has been established here as a result of the Chamber of Commerce's effort and will employ 200 persons. Inquiries from many prospective Industrial ac quisitions have been answered, and in their study of local conditions, outside manufacturers have found the Chamber of Commerce ever ready to aid them in their quest for fac tory locations. Outside manufactur ers presumably looking for local sites, but really looking for capital, have been investigated, and a num ber of undesirable and poorly fi nanced enterprises have been kept from taking Harrisburg capital from the city. Capably managed concerns have been kept in touch with Har risburg's attractions and advantages, with the 'yiew of locating here ulti mately. "A thorough and comprehensive survey of the Harrisburg district to possibilities for industrial develop determine accurately Harrisburg's ment, has been mad eby the Industrial committee. An up-to-date record of all sites and buildings available for manufacturing purposes has been maintained at the Chamber of Com merce offices through the activities of the industrial committee. Domestic and Umport Trade "The Chamber of Commerce has en couraged home trade and endeavored to bring about a close relationship between retail, wholesale and manu facturing Interests of Harrisburg. Representatives of all these interests have worked together on commit tees for the common welfare of all, and for the advancement of the city. The doctrine of the buying of home products has been preached and prac ticed effectively, with beneficial re sults. "The Chamber of Commerce en deavored through the year to create a larger Interest in foreign trade among the manufacturers of the Harrlsburg dlatrlct, and brought Charles Lyon Chandler, in charge of the foreign trade department of the Corn Exchange Bank. Philadelphia, to make an address on the subject early In the year. "The Chamber organized a retail merchants' council, which has served as a clearing house for afTalrs of di rect Interest to the merchants. The council succeeded in eliminating the obnoxious Liberty Bond advertise ments so distasteful to the govern j ment, whereby consumers were en couraged to dispose of their bonds by being allowed par value at retailers' establishments. The council secured a prize of $75 at the State Retail Merchants' convention, at Scranton, In August, for the second largest In crease in membership during the year. It conducted a Merchants' In stitute at which Frank Stockdale, re tall counsel and merchandising ex pert, taught the principles of good merchandising to all the merchants of he Harrisburg district. Publicity find Advertising "The Chamber has advertised Har rlsburg as the capital of the State and an the retail, wholesale, manufactur ing. transportation, financial, and ed ucational center of Central Pennsyl vania. through much newspaper ad vertising. several magazine articles in such magazines of 'national circu lation as The American City. The American Contractor, the Medical Journal. Good Roads, an dothera; through the circulation of booklets descriptive of the manifold adyant ages of Harrisburg. of which 10,000 > were printed, and through the dis tribution of circulars, of which 10,- 000 also were printed. These' book i lets have been trsued to conventions with their programs nserted,, and . thus have been disseminated through i every part of the country. I "Through the convention commit- tee. seven conventions, aggregating 14,000 delegates, have selected Harrls burg for their nfeetings. This means prosperity to all of Harrlsburg's ho tels, and also means business for the retail stores, besides constituting healthful advertising for the city. "The Chamber has strlved to crs nto a spirit of co-operation between the people of the city and the rural communities. It has encouraged and aided In the activities of the Dauphin County Farm Bureau by contributing fiee of charge, office space and meet ing plaues, and with flnancal contri butions periodically toward the sal ary of the clerical staff of the Farm Bureau office. More than 15,000 worth of produce were raised on the Chamber of Com merce war gardens. "Hundreds of Harrlsburgers out side of the Chamber members have been Interested in civic betterment through the Chamber's activities. In the campaign to make Harrlsburg a model city from the standpoint of sanitation and health, 17 public wel fare organizations were enlisted In the campaign for cleanliness, and one of these, a woman's organization, en listed In turn the services of 16 other organizations of women In a child welfare campaign. Many citizens not represented In the Chamber are work ing on & soldiers' memorial cam paign, and have aided In the welcome home project. "In an effort to enlarge the mem bership to Include every representa tive citizen of Harrisburg, 243 new members had been secured by Octo ber Ist. "The Chamber of Commerce In stilled in the members of the Cham ber of Commerce a realization of the necessity of unselfish service In or der that success in the varied activi ties of the organization may be ob tained. That this has been done, is evidenced by the fact that approxi mately 600 members have served in bringing about the consummation of the various projects undertaken. "Through the June Joy Jaunt re ception to the Legislature,the annual picnic, and other meetings and out ings, a feeling of friendship and in terest has been created, so that every Individual knows he Is needed. "The members have worked to gether in harmony for a bigger and better Harrisburg. Health Projects "The Chamber of Commerce Is car rying to a successful conclusion the suggestion of Colonel Edward Mar tin, Chief of the State Health Depart ment, that Harrisburg he made a model city from the standpoint of health and sanitation. Through Its ef forts. a health committee composed of representatives of 17 organizations Is carrying on an aggressive cam paign for better sanitation and other health requisites and In this campaign the committee is receiving the active co-6peration of city and state offici als. As one phase of the campaign, a Child Welfare Committee composed of representatives of 17 women's wel fare organizations, is carrying on a child welfare campaign under the su pervision of ihe State Health Depart ment. Two permanent health centers for the free distribution of hygienic advice and medical service has been established. Plans for a contagious disease hospital are under consider ation by city and county commission ers, und the public consciousness has been awakened to the duty of perfect ing the sanitation of the city. A campaign committee has raised 24,- 000 to complete the work, and the city will have a hegtthful environ ment that will be the model of other Pennsylvania municipalities when the work of these health committees fin ally is finished. "A committee of 125 citizens un der leadership of William Jennings, arranged a great open-air reception and celebration In honor of the ex service men of the community. The event was highly successful, a me morial and welcome home service, pa rade. dinner, dances and many other 'projects having featured the pro gram. "The Chamber of Commerce con tributed 1500 toward the Klpona cele bration. "The Chamber of Commerce saved business men of Harrisburg thous ands of dollars during the year, by investigating hundreds of financially unsound soliciting propositions, and refusing permits to the canvassers. "The Chamber of Commerce launch ed a move which has as Its goal the incorporation Into the city limits of outlying boroughs, with the ultimate object of increasing the city's popula tion to 125,000 persons. "The Chamber took an aggressive stand against government ownership of the railroads, as making for In efficiency and stifling Individual ini tiative. Congressmen from the state were urged to throw their influence against nationalization of the trans portation systems. "The Chamber co-operated with the city officials in steps to provide a mu nicipal airplane field. A special com mittee, of which William Jennings, representing the Chamber of Com merce. is chairman. Is now taking steps to secure the plot at the cor ner of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Mnclay streets, belonging to the State Hospital for the Insane. "The Chamber of Commerce fur nished office apace for the prepara tion of the last Liberty Loan cam paign, and for finishing up the work. Chamber members furnished the nu cleus and guiding genius to the cam paign."
