Harrisburg. Pa. Nov. 2.-Republican
leaders of state prominence declared
before leaving for home to vote. theii
belief in the election of the Republi
can state ticket by a good majority
but admitted there was possibilit!
of Judge Won Moschzisker running be
hind. especially in a number OF the
interior counties.
Candidates Sisson and Stober they
predict will receive the usual on year
majority. the estimates ranging any
where from $4,000 TO 100000. although
few go that high.
Considerable apprehension has been
displayed in the last twentyfour hours
over the effect Of the activity OF Nun
son and his campaign bureaus in vari
GUS parts OF the state. Counties all
through the Susquehanna valley have
been flooded with literature In the last
two days and volunteer committees
have been at work.
State Democratic headquarters made
a last claim, declaring Munson would
have 10000 majority in the state, out
side of Philadelphia. and thar he
would carry several big central coun
ties. At headquarters they claim to
have letters from a score OF counties
where the Republican committeeman
have not bothered themselves about
the campaign because OF an alleged
lack of funds.
General apathy is reported all over
the state towards the state ticket
The general belief is that the con
stitutional amendments will be car
ried. with the possible exception OF
the seventh. which relates TO appoint
ment of election boards. This Is being
antagonized in the cities. In the coun
try districts abolition OF the February
elections is also arousing some opposi
tion. but is not believed to be strong
enough to defeat the proposition.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who WORK
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
! The best example Of this is found In
Quaker Oats. It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
End vigor, without taxing the diges-
szpn, and yet 1t is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
What they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands. fed
pientifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than II
fed en- almost any other kind OF food.
An of these facts were proved and
very interesting Information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
teesor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
Mar size packages, and hermetically
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot

WARNING

Since its introduction into the United
States, the sales Of Partisan Sage have
been phenomenal. This success has led
to many limitations similar in name.
Look out for them, they are not the gen.
uine. See that the girl with the Au-
burn hair is on every package. You
can always get the genuine at Cool
rick's Pharmacy.
Partisan Sage is the quickest acting
and most efficient hair tonic in the
world.
1t is made to conform to DR.. Sanger
bonds (of Paris) proven theory that
dandruff, falling hair, badness and scalp
itch are caused by germs.
Partisan Sage kills these dandruii
germs and removes all trace of dandruff
in two weeks, or money back; it stops
falling hair and itching scalp and pre-
vents badness.
And remember that badness is caused
by dandruff germs, those little hard
working, persistent devils that day and
night do nothing but dig into the roots
of the hair and destroy its vitality.
Partisan Sage is daintily perfumed
hair dressing; not sticky or greasy, and
anv woman who desires luxuriant and
oewitching hair can get it in two weeks
by using it. SO cents large bottle.
