Though no campaign of a State-wide nature will be indulged in until the spring of 1916. regular Democrats will seek to strengthen their county organ izations for the contests foT local offi cers next year and to arrange for the nomination of delegates to the next Presidential election.

CAPITOL HILL BASIS FOR PHONE RATES BEFORE STATE COMMISSION Expert Telephone Men Heard but Ex perts in Rebuttal Will Give Their Opinion Before the Public Service Body at Next Meeting Expert testimony as to what should constitute a basis for telephone rates was introduced before the Public'' Serv ice Commission to-day by H. F. French, representing the Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh, and Assistant City So licitor Charles K. Robinson, represent ing the city or Pittsburgh. They placed on the stand Professor E. W. Bemis, who is a member of the Ad visory Board of the Interstate Com merce Commission in the matter of fix ing the valuation of interstate rail roads, and .Dr. Whitten, who was form erly statistician for the Public Service Commission of New York. These experts do not believe that the replacement value of a plant should be acepted as a basis for rates but seem more inclined to the thought that the cost of the property ought to receive more consideration. They do not think, however, that the replacement feature ought to be entirely disregarded, be cause the courts have been inclined to that view and it would be useless to disregard the attitude of these tribu nals. These experts were cross-examined by the attorneys for the Bell Telephone Company and it is expected that testi mony in rebuttal will be introduced.

For the lirst time in the memory ol' New York's newspaper photographers Mr. Rockefeller consented to pose l'or hia photograph.

"This wise diplomat is justly appre ciated in our country, in whose society he enjoys high and distinguished esti mation. It is not Strange, therefore, that the official news of his appoint ment should have been received with pleasure in all social spheres, and the congratulations, official as well as per sonal, of which he has 'been t'he object, show the ties o'f appreciation 'which Mr. Fletcher has won among us.

The ! popular ideas as to what are the most i digestible foods are all wrong or near ,ly so. In eating chieken, for instance, one imagines that he is sure of a rapid ' digestion, and yet chicken meat re | mains in the stomach, under normal | conditions, for foar hours. Duck, j which is generally supposed to be ; much more difficult to digest than j chicken, remains for only two hours. A hard boiled egg lasts for four hours which is much longer than the j average, whereas boiled fish remains ] for only an hour and a half. It is :t very common mistake to sup pose that well boiled beet' is very easily digested, while as a matter of fact it remains in the stomaeli for six hours, which is louder than any other common article of food. Tripe, 011 the other hand, remains for only one hour in the stomach and is one of the easiest of all food to digest. A period ot one ami a half hours is required for apples, celery, cheese and oysters, while twice this time is re quired by rye bread, onions, sausage or raw milk.—'Boston Herald. Father and Sou A certain Chicago 'business man is the father of a you'ilh of'a most literal tendency. Last, spring, when tlhe fa ther left for Europe, where lie was to spend the entire summer, he promised the lad that if 'ho were to attain a certain mark an ihis studies his reward would ibe a continental trip with his father. The prospect of such a trip stimulated the lad to such a degree that he at tained a mark even hig'her than that sett, him by his parent. 'He ealbled his father t'he one word, "Yes." It would seem, however, that the pa ter had forgotten 'his nfl'er, for after thinking over the message he eabled back. "Yes, what?" Then, in turn, the son was fierplexed. Finally, after due reflection, he cabled i 'bo 'h'is father, "Yes, sir.'*—Detroit Free Press. Something Suitable "When a statesman has something to say, let him say it," said a Con gressman.

TRY THIS IF yOU HAVE DANDRUFF Or Are Bothered With Falling Hair or Itching Scalp. There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys ] it entirely. To do this, just get about j four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid ] arvon; apply 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 entirely destroy every I single sign and trace of it, no matter I how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and look and feel a hundred times better. Jf you want to keep your hair look ing rich, <lo by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and niakew it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. You can get liquid nrvon at any drug sfore. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy lias never been known to fail. adv.
