A Sure Way to
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (thiß is all you will need), up
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirelv de
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find all itching and dig- !
ging of the scalp will stop instantly, !
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, I
glossy, silky and soft, and look and '
feel a hundred times better. J

Following the Wise Men. "the Shep
herds who guard their flocks by night"
will also proceed to the manger and
make aboisanee to the charuoter repre

pageant will unwind the well-known
Bible storj' of the first Christmas morn.
The entire spectacle will last about
three quarters of an hour, and will

electric sign blazes forth the Christmas
spirit of "Good Will on Earth, and
Peace to Men."

BARRISBURG &B&4H TELEGRAPH
"High Spots" in Nation's
Critical Coal Situation
LIGHTNESS nights and deprivations as in war days,
coupled with an industrial shutdown, are in as a
result of renewal of war-time coal rules to avert a nation
wide fuel famine. This was the outstanding development in
the coal crisis to-day. Other features in the situation were:
Warning to the public by Attorney General Palmer,
against yielding to threats and indications of a fuel shortage,
to support claims for more than a 14 per cent, wage increase
offered the miners. A still higher cost of living, he *aid,
would be the result.
Kansas volunteers entered the mines in that State yes
terday and are working under military protection to relieve
conditions of want.
Few union miners, if any, returned- to work yesterday.
Reports from the coal fields indicated even more mines idle-
Efforts to reopen Pennsylvania mines in the Western
and Central districts failed.
Steady decline in the nation's coal supply goes on, with
the shortage and conditions of need increasing, especially in
the Middle West.
STILL HOPEFUL
MORE MINERS
WILL GO BACK
Government Officials Put
Faith in-14 P. C. Offer;
Wartime Rules On
NEW COAL RULES
IN EFFECT AT ONCE
New York, Dec. 2. —The East
ern regional coal committee
members said wartime restric
tions on the use of coal would
be put into effect immediately.
Railroad officials expressed the
opinion that no further drastic
curtailment of railroad service
was in prospect.
Washington, Dec. 2. Govern-,
ment officials were still hopeful to
day that the advance of fourteen
per cent, in mine workers' wages
would result in getting some of the
men back to work, especially in
view of the fact that coal operators
generally were backing up the offer.
But at the same time it was said
that a period of several days would
be required before the effect of this
could be determined. Members of
a mine operators' committee were in
Washington watching the situation
and preparing for a general session
Wednesday when details of applica
tion of the 14 per cent. Increase will
be arranged, but had no reports of |
work resumption.
Wartime restrictions on the na
tion's use of coal, more stringent
even than those applied during the
war, were ordered into effect yester
day to stave oflP-a fuel famine.
Moved by reports of diminishing
coal stocks and growing danger of
distress in numerous sections, the
government sought no compromise
with striking mine workers whose
walkout forced the emergency, but
asked for national determination
to endure privation and discomfort
until coal mining was resumed on its
terms.
Essential Consumers
Fuel Administrator Garfield, act
ing in conjunction with the railroad
administration, gave notice that
hereafter only the essential consum
ers included in the first five classes
of the war priorities list would be
supplied witji coal, and asked the
help of alh state and municipal au
thorities to make rationing effective.
The order, which made national
those restrictions already put into
local effect by regional coal commit
tees where the pinch of fuel shortage
has been felt, cuts off supplies from
all but transportation agencies,
which includes inland nnd coastwise
shipping as -well as railroads; Fed
eral and local government institu
tions and establishments, including
contracts; public utilities, including
newspapers; and retail dealers.
Railroad administration officials con
ceded that it meant widespread ces
sation of industrial operations, only
justified by the gravity of the situa
tion.
Curtail Electrical Signs
"It is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes,"
Dr. Garfield said, in giving public
notification of the step. "Public
utilities consuming coal should dis
continue to furnish power, heat and
light to nonessential Industries and
should consume only sufficient coal
to produce enough light, power and
heat to meet the actual urgent needs
of the people. Advertising signs
and displays of various kinds neces
sitating the use of coal should be
curtailed and no coal should be dis
tributed for such purpose."
Officials said that the terms of the
order as given were framed, to allow
the greatest possible variation in
local arrangements, so that emer
gencies could be met by .action best
suited to that result.
TRAPPERS REAP RICHES
Samnuc Lake, N. Y., Dec. 2.
Trappers in the Adirondack region, due
to the unprecedented high prices paid
for furs are entering upon a remarkable
Beason. Already trappers are making |
from 3300 to SSOO a week and some i
school boys here have made as much !
as $65 a week by trapping during spare j
time. Fur prices last year reached |
a high but this Iscason they |
will be 40 per cent, higher, it is antici
pated. Buyers are purchasing every
pelt offered and paying enormous prices.
One of the heaviest buyers in this sec- |
tion returned this week with an auto- ,
mobile load of furs for which he paid '
36.000.

EXTENSIVE SHUTDOWN
NOW IN PROSPECT

crease ordered by the F'ederal gov
ernment and acceded to by the oper
ators.
In Wyoming new labor troubles
threatened to decrease the small
amount of coal being brought out.
Except for brief shutdowns at the
beginning of the strike and twice
since, the mines in that State gen
erally had maintained operation.
Members of the railroad brother
hoods in Kansas to-day were jx
pected to act on a resolution adopted
last night to request authority to re
fuse to handle coal mined by non
union workers.
Curtails Production
Under the sweeping order of Fuel
Administrator Gartleld, limiting de
livery of fuel or power only to essen
tial consumers in the first five classes
of the war priorities'list, curtailment
of production was in prospect in fac
tories turning out boots and shoes,
brass and bronze manufactures,
clothing, machinery, (except where
specifically exempted); iron and
steel, Jewelry, marble and stone
products, musical Instruments, paper
goods, (news print excepted); rubber
goods, (newsprint excepted); rubber
wood manufactures, sheet and metal
products, leather goods, mattresses,
paints and varnishes, photographic
supplies and mtscellanaeous non
essentials.
Theaters and Churches
Theaters, motion picture shows
and all other places of amusement
faced complete shutdown. Churches
and schools also were included In
that category, although efforts were
being made to postpone closing
schools as long as possible.
Bakeries, except those producing
! only bread; also fell under the ban,
as did confectioners and certain
packing plants.
In some of those industries, how
ever, an immediate shutdown might
be forestalled, if the regional coal
committees permitted them to oper
ate until their present supply of
fuel was exhausted.
Many operators to-day believed
that work in the mines soon would
be resumed under inducement of the
increased wage scale and the gov
ernment and public appeal. On the
other hand, John L. Lewis, acting
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, declared the gov
ernment must redeem "its pledge to
the miners of a thirty-one per cent,
increase." Lewis said the situation
was unchanged as fnr as the miners
were concerned. He would not pre
dict the next move to end the tie-up.
Little Suffering
Despite low temperatures that
have spread over the west for the
last few days, little actual suffering
because of the fuel shortage to-day
had been reported. In Nebraska,
where near zero weather prevailed,
Kilgore had been without coal ten
days. Western Kansas, also without
coal several days, to-day was to ob
tain an emergency supply, the first
taken from the strip pits of that
State.
Suspension of all trnffic over the
St. Louis and San Francisco Rail
road lines out of Oklahoma City to
day was said to be only a matter of
hours unless coal were supplied.
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers of America
in a statement issued at Springfield,
111., declared the strike will be settled
only by agreement on a 31 per cent.
Increase.
The Public Utilities Commission of
Illinois, issued an order forbidding
further use of electricity for street
signs and show window illuminations.
Earlier in the day 30 evening schools
and 63 community centers were or
dered closed by the Board of Educa
tion.
Kansas City business houses opened
at 9 a. m., and closed at 4 p. m.
Schpols were closed and amusement
places not allowed to open.
According to railroad officials In
Oklahoma City, suspension of all traf
fic over the St. Louis and San Francis
co lines out of that city Is only a
matter of a few .hours.
At the Hanna, Wyoming, mine, 450
men struck, and at Hudson, Lander
and Gebo 600 additional men refused
to report for work. The 14 per .cent,
increases, which they deem insuffici
ent is the cause of the new strike.
