To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all yoii will need), apply it at night when retiriug, use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Bv moroiug. most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis | solve, anil entirely destroy, every single I sign and trace of it, no matter how I much dandruff you may have. ou will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will ho fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silkv and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.—Adv. BOUNTIES FOB SOLDIEBS i Prices England Hr.d to Psp in the Past for Army Ret raits i At one lime the system of offering l huge money bounties was quite a fea ture o f army recruiting in Great Brit- I ain. Prior to the peninsular war, how -1 ever, the amount of the bounty had I been reduced considerably, but the waMage in human material caused by , that war raised the bounty and troui 13 pounds to 16 pounds was a | common price right up to '"Waterloo year." when it dropped to 7 guineas. I The stress of the Crimean campaign ' also caused the war office authorities to open wide their purses, and so we find that iu 1555 the price of a caval ryman was 10 pounds, while an infan tryman received 2 pounds less. All manner of rases were tried to tempt men to remain in the service, and they were even offered money for every spent she!! (sixpence for n large one and four pence for a small one) that they brought to the commanding officer of ar-1 tillery. Even in recent years war has force 1 us to offer amnio money prizes to keep military units up to strength, certain reservists receiving 20 pounds each for rejoining the co'ors in 189S, while soon after the South African war the short service men were tempted to remain serving by the offer of from 10 pounds' io 15 pounds each.—Dundee Adver t iser.

MUST KEEP UP IBE SERVICE ■ J Railroad Must Do Business Until It Sur r renders Charter and' State Ac i cepts the Same r t i The Public Service Commission in 1 an opinion handed down to-day practic ' i ally decided that a railroad is bound to r furnish reasonably adequate service on its line until suc.h time as the duty im r postvt upon it by its charter sha.il have r j been surrendered and the surrender ac : cepted by the Commonwealth. Daniel I S. Brandt and otluv residents of East * Berlin complained to the Commission that the Fast Berlin Railroad Company r refuse*! to furnish to the public either j; freight or passenger service over its , | line, which extends from Kast Berlin I to Beriiu .lunotion in Adams county. < | At the hearing before the Conimis ! sion it developed that this railro&i be ' j gaii operation in 1576, and continued until September 9. 1914, when a re ; eeiver who had been appointed by the' J Court of Common Pleas of Adams conn- 1 ; ty, sold the francliiisc to WLMiam G. | r i Irfas. There was no dispute between the; I; parties as to the fact that the operation ■ has been a financial failure, and the I respondent contended th.it for this re:i-| j! son the company had a right to cease 1 exercising the franchises conferred upon j ' it by the State. ' The Commission points out that the' granting of the charter to the companv j 1 :id not give to it a mere license which i ' it can surrender without the consent of; the State. When a railroad charter is j 1 ; granted, the company secures the right! I to construct the line mentioned in the I charter, and when it has exercised that) ' right it enters into a eoiitract with the I ; ■ Sta* o to operate the line until such time ' | as the State has authorized it to discon ;! tanue the operation. It is true that tlieJ State may look uoon a non-user as a 1 j forfeiture of the rights granted and pro jceed to declare the franchise null and void, but until such action is taken, the j company is bound bo perform the >:erv ice which it undertook when it con structed its line under the powers giv en it by its charter. Iu other words until either the State has forfaited tin charter, or the company has surrender-j , ed the same, the contract-between the l and the company must be carried' i out according to its terms. The order of the Commission is that j ; the East Berlin Railroad Companv I | shall, ou or before February 1, 1915,' j resume service over its line, until rucii i time as it shall be relieved from that I i duty in accordance with the laws or'; ( this State.
