HAIR COMING OUT?. ]
Dandruff causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink,
loosen and then the hair comes out fast.
To stop fallipg hair at once and rid the
scalp of eveiry particle of dandruff, get
a 25-cent bottle of Panderine at any
drug store, i>our a little in your hand
and nib it into the scalp. After a few
applications the hair stops coming out
and you can't find any dandruff. —Adv.

REPOPULATION OF FRANCE
Problem Seriously Taken Up by Acad
emy of Moral Science
Paris, Feb. 15.—The problem of re
population in France is receiving the
attention of the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences. Figures were read
at a meeting of the academy Saturday
night showing that the number of births
annually in tine country during the past
twenty years fell from 8 60,000 to
750,000. It was estimated that if a
proportionate decrease continued for
another twenty years the future mili
tary classes would be 30,000 below the
classes of 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The question was considered so vital
that it was suggested that important
advantages be accorded fathers of fam
ilies-having numerous children and that
the idea be generalized that the nor
mal family comprises three children. It
was suggested also that the 'heads of
such families be allowed to share in a
proposed recompense.

THRESHERMEN WILL OPEN
CONVENTION TO-MORROW
Thriving State Organization, Which
Has Local* in 33 Counties, Will
Advocate Repeal of Certain Legis
lation
More thau one hundred delegates
from various parts of the State are ex
pected to be in attendance at tho an
nual convention of the Pennsylvania
Thresheruien 'a and Farmers' Protective
Association, which will open to-morrow
afternoon in Chestnut streot auditor
ium. This will be the second annual
convention of this thriving organiza
tion which now has locals in fifty-three
of the counties of the (State all of which
may be represented in the gathering.
l"he most important session will be
held 'beginning at 8 o'clock to-morrow
evening when Mayor John K. Royal
will make an address of welcome.
Among the speakers will be Congress
man A. K. Rupley, "Farmer" William
T. Creasy, Ira M. Hart, who is president
of the association; E. E# McCurdy, a
Lebanon lawyer; (ieorge A. Dechant, of
the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Com
pany; Ke[»reseutatives D. Spangler and
C. M. McConnell and J. B. Parker, of
the "American Thrcsherman.''
Some of tthe speeches will have bear
ing on the efforts the association is
making to have repealed that section
of the automobile law of 1913 which
places certain restrictions on traction
engines, and to have enacted a new
law which would impose less rigid regu
lations. It is contended by the associa
tion that the present law, which re
quires traction engine owners to pay a
license fee in addition to the tax re
quired by a law of longer standing,
practically imposes a double taxation
on traction engines, and it is the hope
of the threahermen to have this second
tax wiped out. There are some other
requirements of the 1913 law which the
association regards as unjust and which
it is hopeful of having stricken from
the statute books especially in view of
the fact that some of the regulations
have become inoperative under the rul
ing of the present State Highway De
partment.
The Tuesday afternoon meeting will
be taken up chiefly with addresses by
J. A. Rose, chairman of the executive
committee, who will discuss "What Our
Organization Has Done," and by J. B.
Parker, who will talk on "What Or
ganization Has Done For the Thresher
men of the United States."
The Wednesday session will be de
voted to the reading of reports, elec
tion of officers, addresses by represen
tatives of farm machinery companies
and discussion of various subjects in
cluding the insurance of threshing ma
chinery. At various times during the
convention there will be music by the
Farmers' Cornstalk Quartet and Par
son's Quartet.

SOAP IS BAD
FOR THE HAIR
Soap should be used very gparing-
I lv, if at all, if you want to keep your
| hair looking its best. Most soaps' and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than Boap or any
thing else you can use.
One or ( two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the" hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy Inther,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff j
and excessive oil. The hair dries I
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
, scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and a few ounces
will supply every membeV of the
family for months.
To Prove the
Quality of Coel
You must burn it, and after it's
in the cellar it's annoyitfg to dis
cover that it doesn't burn satis
factorily.
You avoid such risks when you
order
The Kelley Coal business is one
of the oldest in the city, and for
many years its fuel has been pre
ferred because of its uniformly
good burning qualities.
Any size or kind for any heating
system.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
1 If you want plenty of thiek, beauti
ful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do mueh good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces ot 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 and entirely destroy every single;
sign and trace of if.
You wilt find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp wilt stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. It is inexpensive!
and four ounces is all yoiKwill need, no i
matter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails. —Adv.

DISEASE GERMS
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Samuel G. Dixon, M. D., LL.
D., Commissioner ot Health
There are many thin'gs in the world
which our five senses unaided would
nrvfr apprizes us of. There are sounds
too delicate for the eair to hear, odors
which we cannot smell, flavors which
we fail tQ recognize, movements and
vibrations to which our nerve centers
do not respond and innumerable objects
in nature which we cannot sec.
Even the bravest man shrinks from
danger which is unseen. The deadliest
enemies of mankind arc absolutely in
visible to the nuked eye. Tuberculosis,
cholera, typhoid fever, the plague, .yel
low fever and many other of the die
eases which claim a igreater munber of
lives than have ever been sacrificed in
war are ca-used by those invisible
enemies which scientists call bacteria
or miscro-oranisins. Commonly these are
referred to as disease germs.
Bacteria are minute organisms the
of which are only some ten or
twelve thousandths of an inch in length.!
Not all bacteria are harmful but those
which are responsible for disease wheu
introduced into the human or animal
economy multiply with startling rapid
ity and give off poisons which cause
sickness and death. Millions of these
organisms could be contained in a single
drop of water.
There are three very common ways
in w'hich disease germs are carried from
person to person and introduced into
the system—fingers, food and insects.
Foods which are eaten raw and milk
and water are those most likely to
transmit infection. Thorough cooking
destroys t.he bacteria and unless the
food is infected by being handled aft
erward, it is safe.
Our finders are continually coming in
contact with articles touched by ot hers
and may be so contaminated with hu
man excretions from those diseased.
The intestinal discharges of those suf
fering from typhoid fever contain the
germs and here unclcanlincss is respon
sible for the transmission. Many epi
demics of typoid fever have been traced
to a single case on a dairy farm where
the housewife acted as nurse and milk
maid.
Insects alone are responsible for the
transmission of the germs of certain
diseases. Yellow fever and malaria for
example are each carried by a siugle
variety of mosquito from the sick to
the well.
GET BANDITS BY GUN PLAY
Police in Long, Exciting Chase of Auto
Robbers
Pittsburgh, Feb. 15.—Fallowing ex

Law Should Stop Sale Of
Elastic andSpringTrusses
Such Misery-Causing Makeshift* Are
the Ruptured Man's Word Enemies
trusses—like sliown
are almost sure to
shorten your life
It's h'ird to make them holil, even
when drawn so tight that they scarcely
give e minute's peace. They are simply
a curse to wear.
And because they nearly always let
their victims get worse all the time,
they are yearly forcing thousand# of
people into risking their lives by un
dergoing operation.
These unscientific makeshifts cause
so much misery and such a shameful
waste of money that the law should
put a stop to their sale.
Don't Buy Anything for Rupture
Without tilling It n Thorough Teat
There's only one reason in the world
why you or any one else ever gets
saddled up with good-for-notlrlng
makeshifts —•
It's simply because you trust to a
mere try-on or hasty examination in
stead of first making a thorough test.
A truss or so-called "appliance" may
aeeni all right when you first try It on,
and afterwards prove utterly worthless.
The only way you can ever make sure
of exactly what you are getting Is by
sixty da>s* trial —a thorough day-after
day test.
And there's only one thing of any
kind whatever for rupture that you can
get on such a long trial—
Only one tiling good enough to atand
?uch a long and thorough test—
That's our "-uaranteed rupture holder.
Only Thing Good Enough
To Stand A Htl-Day Teat
We'll make you a guaranteed rupture
holder—make it to your measure and
lot vou give It a thorough 60-day test
without asking you to risk a eent—
If It doesn't Ue«p your rupture from
coming out or bothering you In any
way, no matter how hard you work or
■train—lf It doesn't prove every claim
we make —then you can send it back
and It won't cost you a slrtgle penny.
