1 Try This If You
Have Dandruff
L 'J
There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en
tirely. 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
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
bow much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and vonr hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glo»*y, silky and soft and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
•tore. It is inexpensive, and four
ounce* is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.

"About eighteen months mo I began to

months later there appeared

It became wane and worse
until It Itched and burned so
much that I scratched aad

unbearable and at times I
lost much sleep. The dan
druff scaled off so It could be

had to do something. I had lost half of it.
I "I used treatments for about three
months without any relief. Then I was
recommended by a friend to use Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and after using them
only one week I noticed a wonderful change.

The action in taking a reeess over

but at no time hn i this issue been re

lay the legislative body are child l:.bor,

The measure was introduced in the

, met with but little opposition un.til it
got to the Senate committee where it
r now re»ts. The intention was to take
i some action at the meeting of the com

Franklin county, moved that it be re
ported favorably. This was objected to
' by Senator Datix, of Philadelphia, who
i wanted to know why there was such
haste in the disposition of the measure.
, He wanted a public hearing on the bill
. and he moved that the consideration of
• the measure be postponed until all
( sides, both the ouffragists and the antis,
i could be igiven an opportunity to dia

URGE EVANGELIST DULLER
TO CONTINUE THE SERVICES
He Will Preach Again To-night at Me
cbanicsburg Tabernacle but He Has
Not Decided Whether to Acquiesce
to Popular Demand
Median icsburg, Feb. 17.—Evangelist
Miller will preach again in the taber
nacle this evening. He is being urged
to continue the services the remainder
of the week, but it is not certain that
he will do HO.
Last evening the Miller party were
again the recipients of a number of
gifts. An interesting one was h mini
ature "fifth wheel" adapted for use a.s
a paper hohler, made by the Wilcox
Fifth Wheel factory men especially for
Mr. Miller. Mrs. Bowman was the re
cipient of an umbrella, presented by
the women's executive committee, wom
en personal workers and women ushers.
The opening prayer was offered by
the Rev. Mr. .lamis«on, of York. Just
beforA the sermon Professor Holigatt
sang very effectively: "Sewing the
Tares When It Might Have Been
Wheat." Deep solemnity prevailed as
the evangelist spoke with great earnest
ness from the text in Jeremiah 8:20,
"The harvest is past, the summer is
ended, and we are not savm.' *
Evangelist Miller paid: "Mighty
God, help these people to see that this
text applies now. The sun is not
quite set, the sheaves have not quite all
been gathered. Mighty God, bring
them now!" Almost before the evange
list had uttered the last words of his
appeal, tile first penitents were coming
up the aisies; aukl the last came after
the benediction had been pronounced.
There were sixty-three in all.
Before Mrs. Bowman's Bible, lecture
yesterday afternoon, a woman's union
Bible class was formed, to carry on the
work after the clwe of the Miller cam
paign. The following organization was
effected: President, Mrs. J. S. Weaver;

First Carrier Pigeons
The sport of pigeon flying dates back
100 years, although the Egyptians
trained pigeons to serve as messengers
4,000 odd years ago, aud their example
was followed by the Assyrians, the'
Chinese, the Greeks and the Romans.
The firrt pigeon race was organized in
Belgium in 1818, and two years later a
•bird was flown iom Paris to Verviers,
w«here its arrival was hailed by a pro
cession with braes bands. In England
the first pigeon race waa held in 1875
from Newcasrtle-on-Tyne to Bex>hill. The
sport caught on rapidly, especially on
Lancashire and Yorkshire, and such
long distance flights as from Manches
ter to San Sebastian (700 miles) have
been achieved.—London SStawdard.
