chance. Realizing in part his splendid
opportunity. no attention was given to
the meager pay. but he worked hard
every day and was always on time.
He did not idle away his time in hav-
ing what the boys called "a good time"
but took his rest at night and gave full
satisfaction to his employer. The re-
suit of this faithfulness was that at the
end of two years his salary had been
raised and his responsibilities corre-
spondingly Increased. He advanced
from messenger to individual book
keeper. and at the same time he as
sisted In various other kinds of clerical
work. including meeting with the clear
ing house force each day and making
reports to Il. q. Dun & Co. and Brad
streets Mercantile agency.
After several years work on indi-
vidual ledgers Mr.. Glover was made
reconciling and statement clerk and
held this position until August. 1872
when he resigned his position and took
up work with large advertising house
at Louisville. Ky. and remained with
the company one year. As there Is al.

TRY THIS If YOU
HAVE DANDRUFF
Or Are Bothered With Falling
Hair or Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary 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
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in I
stantly, and your hair win be fluffy.
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and
look and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing rich, do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair
so quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes it fall out, but it makes it
stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and
lifeless, and everybody notices it. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug store.
1t is inexpensive, and four ounces is
all you will need. This simple rem
edy has never been known to fall

FRONT PLATFORM
RIDING MUST END
State Public Service Commission
Issues Order Against the Prae-
tice in the State

Riding on the front platforms of
closed cars of electric railway lines
has been prohibited in a general order
just issued by the Public Service Com
mission following investigation of COM
plants made to it that cars in some
communities were being so crowded
that motormen had difficulty in op-
Grating brakes. On open cars the num-
ber of passengers to be allowed on
front platforms must be strictly linn
tied to the number that can be con-
veniently accommodated upon and do
occupy the front seats. The order
also requires that persons occupying
front platforms are to be forbidden to
distract the attention of the motorman
by conversation or in any other way.
Charges that the full crew" act of
1911 has been violated by the Erie
Railroad at Dunmore, the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad between Harrisburg and
Marysville and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western at Bangor, have
been filed with the commission by Will
liam G.. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen.
The question of whether a contract
between a traction company and q
property owner for free transporta-
ton in exchange for a right of way
conflicts with the public service COM
pany law has been raised before the
commission by NJ. S. Mcknight, of
Dubois. This question will likely be

FLOOD DANGERS IN

Attention to the Heavy Snow

The State Water Supply Commission

floor warning service showing that the
snow in Pennsylvania varies from 2 to
4S inches on the level and that the
streams are in many instances bound
with from 6 to IL inches of ice, the.
lower part of the Allegheny, the Mo-
nongahela and the Ohio being the only
large rivers not frozen. The con-
ditions present potential flood posi-
bjlities which may result seriously and
cause tremendous loss" says a state
ment issued to-day by the commits
sion. Similar conditions prevailed in
the winters of 1902 and 1904. when
the greatest floods since 1889 occurred
in Eastern Pennsylvania"
The reports of the commission show
that the depth of snow on the ground
at the end of February is unusual

SWEENEY BACKS
INSPECTION LAW
Says Its Enforcement Has Meant
Much For the Consumers Of
Food in the State

James Sweeney, chief of the bureau
of standards, declares in the annual
report of his bureau for 1913 that the
enactment of laws providing for in
spection of weights and measures and
establishing standards for commodi-
ties has saved many dollars to the
people of Pennsylvania. There is a
decided improvement over conditions
in 1911" says he. THE consumers
were compelled to accept the COM
modify from the dealer regardless Of
any deficiency which might exist in
weight or measure" Nothing but
prosecution was open to consumer
who wishes redress. and even then
the case was usually lost and costs
imposed upon the plaintiff because no
standard existed whereby to prove
any charges. Now things are differ
ent; report to the local sealer brings
an investigation, which results in pun
ishment to the dealer, If guilty, with
no cost to the offended consumer.
Considerable attention Is paid to the
advocacy of experts of selling all com.
modities by weight and abandoning
measures. Chief Sweeney says he has
discussed this with many merchants
and that 'the great majority believed
it to be a good thing, but were very
reluctant to try the experiment by do
ing away with measures" He received
letters from many merchants COM
mending tho proposition and quotes
one from q tea company which does a
general grocery business and which
for years has sold all dry commodities
by avoirdupois weight on scales, in
Guiding such articles as potatoes, dried
beans, etc. I'VE have been doing this
for years. the manager wrote to Chief
Sweeney "and know that 1t Is most
satisfactory to our patrons" Mr..
Sweeney continues that the practice
has been found satisfactory wherever
tried and that 1.-THE opposition to the
change is caused by the natural preju-
dice to be found against the changing
of method to which for many years
the people have become accustomed"
Inspections made during 1918 by
local officials total as follows: Plat
form scales, 2,526: computing scales,
scales, 367: weights. 1857; dry meas
ures, 49.002; liquid measures, 21,S07;
milk jars, S,37S; yard measures
1S,500; oil pumps, 1904. The total
was 2s2. sol. of which 170,515 resulted
in approval on test, 1910 in adjust
ment and 24.676 in condemnation.
Commenting on these figures, Mr..
Sweeney points out that the demand
of the public for some sort of conf
modities regulation was not ground
less. When you consider that out of
202,501 tests in various parts of the
State nearly 16 per cent. did not meet
the lawful standards" he says, "you
have ample and sufficient evidence
that the public has the same right to
insist on sixteen ounces to the pound
as it has to claim 100 cents on the dol
lar" He points out too. that de-
ficient weights and measures do not
necessarily imply dishonesty on the
part of the dealer; the sealer is usually
welcomed by the dealer and the latter
ordinarily corrects defects gladly.
Mr.. Sweeney's report also contains
several pages of statistics of toler-
ances, weights equivalents, etc.

Zion City, ILL.,, Feb. 2S.-Bells rang
and whistles blew at hourly intervals
to-day in Zion City in celebration of
the anniversary of the purchase of
the Zion City estate from the Federal
receivers three years ago. Bands of
elders and believers went to the main
tabernacle and joined in praise SER

celebration came at Tabernacle No. 2,
the small open structure across from
the F. B. Cook electrical works, where
tobacco smokers and followers of Will
bur Glenn Voliva have many times
clashed.
When the elders reached Taber-
nacle No. 2 they found the steps
drenched with liquid which they said
had the appearance of tobacco
juice" They also declared that guam
titles of hot tar marred the floor of
the little building.

Sharp Attack Made on
Employment Bureaus
By 4Ssociated Press

New York, Feb. 2S.-A sharp at
tack on government employment bu-
reaus, many of which have been es-
tablished throughout the country in
an effort to solve the problem of the
unemployed, was made to-day by Will
liam M. Leiserson, at the second days
session of the national conference on
unemployment. Mr.. Leiserson is su-
perintendent of a public employment
bureau in Madison, Wis.
Officials of these bureaus" said
he, have either mismanaged the Of
fees SO that they have to be discon-
tinued or else they have performed
the duties perfunctorily and in a
wholly ineffective manner" There
are, according to Mr.. Leiserson, pub
lie employment offices in eighteen
States and sixty cities. AS a whole
he stated, they had been manned
without merit and their work was
crude and ineffective.
