SLEIGHING !X ERIE COIMV Sport Was Fine There a Few Days Ago, Water Commission Learns Some unusual conditions of climate and streams have prevailed in Penn sylvania during the last week, as shown by the reports of the State Water Sup illy Commission, from its stream gaging stations. lAt Williams' ort. where the West branch of the Susquehanna river is I 1.000 feet wide. it was frozen over, but jis now partly open. All the way up the West branch there are intermittent | stretches of frozen ami open water. On the Driftwood branch of the Sinnema honing creek, one of the large tribu taries of t.ie West branch, there is snow and i.e. Most of the other tributaries were frozen but some are now open. On the North branch of the Susque hanna, the main river has slush ice, while some of the tributaries have been frozen, but are now mostly open. In that section of the State. Tunkhannock creek was probably hit the hardest with the cold snap, where there are two in.-hes of snow and the stream is frozen three-quarters of an inch thick. On the Ohio watershed the main riv ers. including the Allegheny, Monon gahela and Youghiogheny rivers have had shisih ice. while some of the tribu , taries have been closed tight. In the eastern part of Erie county on the j North branch of French creek, the stream has been frozen and good | sleighing existed a few days ago. South west of this point, near the center of the State, on Clearfield creek, at Dime ling. ice conditions have prevailed and the thermometer registered eight de grees below zero. On Tionesta creek, in Forest eountv, ] a large tributary of the Allegheny, | there is snow and ice. Slippery Rock and Connoquenessing creek?, large trib j utaries of the Beaver, are frozen over in some places. These conditions do not prevail on the lower Susquehanna and its tribu taries belo>w Sutftniry, nor in the Dela ware basin, where moderate weather has j prevailed.

PAID HHJH FOR vol K TI'RKEV? Well Cheer Up—lt was All Due to a Misunderstanding Washington, IV -. 2.—The Depart ment of Agriculture issued this state ment yesterday. "The turkev industry of the United States has been hit a heavy blow by misunderstanding of the quarantine de clared for the foot aud mouth disease in cattle, according to poultry experts of the Department of Agriculture. "Misunderstanding of the quaran tine, it is declared, prevented many shipments in some quarters, and caused heavy Thanksgiving shipments in others, demoralizing the market. "Studies of the Thanksgiving tur key markets in New York, Boston und Philadelphia, indicated that turkeys were somewhat scarce, and as a result, prices ruled high on a very firm mar ket. All that saved a great scarcitv was the fact that there were a quantity of turkeys in excellent condition held over in cold storage from last Decem ber. This somewhat relieved the pres sure." The misunderstanding caused many families to go without turkey Thanks .giving, but it has left more turkevs for Christmas. It is predicted that the Christmas turkey will not be as high this year as it was last. GIRL SLEEPER WAKES UP AGAIN Doctor Uses Hypnotism This Time to End Long Nap Xewcrk, X.

This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about 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 dis solve ami entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. \ou will find, too, that all itching anil digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, aiid look and feel a hundred times better. It you want to keep your hair look ing rich, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destrovs the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, artd everybody notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. Adv. days' visit to his mother at Gettys burg.
