Simple Way To
End Dandruff
There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that ig 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 (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

J Railroad Must Do Business Until It Sur

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';
