Albert Kelsey will not onlv tell about that to night in Fahnestoek'Hall ,but he'll demonstrate in a way that ! will appeal. Mr. Kelsey who iviii give an inter esting picture-talk for the benefit of! the Pure Milk Society, of Harrisburg, I lias brought along the necessarv para phernalia. " j One whole trunk full of curios, in-! j eluding blankets, vases and jars, some j queer hats and sandals and other ar-' ticles of wearing apparel and a censer ! of 300-year old incense taken from well of an ancient temple, was sent on j here by Mr. Kelsey yesterday to be i used in decorating the stage 'so as to I give the real local touch. And among | other things was a curious woven grass hammock. This will be strung on the 1 stage, and Mr. Kelsey in the course of I his talk will show how the Indian mother puts her baby or babies in the ! hammock and gentlv swings the heir or, heiress to by-lo land. Much interest centers in the pre- i liminary remarks that Governor Brum- 1 baugh is expected to give in introduc-! ing Mr. Kelsey. The Governor it is thought will likely tell of what Phila-I delphia has done for its own soeietvj for providing milk for babies while he , was school superintendent of the Quak ' er City. Very few tickets may vet be had for the picture-talk and /hese can be bought at either the Y. M. 0. A. or the ! Gorgas drug store.

Just as a plant without air and water withers and dies, so will the hair go if not given proper nour ishment. The scalp must be perfectly healthy and free from dandruff, as the scalp is to the hair what good soil is to plants and flowers. If your hair is not pretty; if it is loosing color, too dry, matted, falling out, or if the scalp itches and burns, you can easily overcome all of these conditions by using Parisian Bage, which supplies every hair need. It soaks right into the hair roots, stim ulating them and furnishing the nourishment that is needed for the hair to grow not only long and heavy, but fluffy, soft, lustrous and gloriously radiant. You can get a bottle of this inex pensive. yet delightful and helpful hair tonic from H. C. Kennedy or any drug counter. Improvement be gins with the very flrst application. Besides stopping the scalp irritation it removes every bit of dandruff. The use of this unequaled tonic will surely give yoifr hair new life and beauty.—Adv. "Twittering of the Birds," Ruth Tjan dis; piano trio, selected, Walter Miller, Lila Spencer,' Hilda Famous; piano duet, selected, l,ila Spencer and tHilda Fa mous. MRS.
