FooD FOR THE WASTE PAPER BALER

When persons get opportunity to see post ofice
waste paper baer in operation they occasionally do
at postal service exhibits, they learn often for the
first time what becomes of much of their mail matter.
They may not be especially pleased with the baler
the ultimate destination of their favorite magazines
and of other literature intended for them yet whether
they like it mot they viii have to sacrifice mail to
the baer as long they persist in being careless about
having such mail properly directed.
All matter given to Uncle Sam to transport which
is improperly addressed which does not in other
particulars meet the requirements of the postal reg
lations has the best of chances of finding safe lodge
ment in post office waste paper balers When the use
of the city directory is required in busy post office
to learn where secondclass matter is intended to 60,
and the baler is nearby it safe bet that the baler
will get the literature instead of the addressee limited
at on the wrapper.
Under new rules made by the Post Office Department
a complete address on piece of mail matter must
include 'ocal habitaton," that is street address
or post office box number, in addition to the name
of the recipient and the proper town and State A
post office box may not be local habtation, exactly,
yet the meaning of the regulation is plain. The pity
is if the public knows it must give complete addresses
on mail matter to insure delivery that the waste
balers OF the country should continue to consume SO
much improperly directed literature.
Even periodical devoted to the activities of postal
employees has recently found it necessary to call the
attention of its readers to the departments regulation
regarding complete addresses and to urge them to give
their full post office addresses when placing subscrp
tions that fewer of the magazines will go unde-
livered.
1t is manfesty not always ignorance of regula-
tions that gives food to the baler 1t is sometimes
nexcusable careessness.

why HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandruff causes feverish irritation
Of the scalp. the hair roots shrink,
loosen and then the hair comes out fast.
To stop falling hair at once and rid the
scalp of every particle of dandruff, get
25-cent bottle of Danderine at any
drug store, pour little in your hand
and rub well into the scalp. After a
few applications all dandruf disappears
and the hair stops coming out.-Adv.

Ole Bull's Pennsylvania Home

The State Historical Commission has
recommended that the site of the home
once occupied by Ole Bull, the famous
Norwegian violinist, in the wilds of
Potter county, be marked with a suit
able monument. Ole Bull was, perhaps,
the greatest master of the violin since
the days of the famous Paganini, than
whom there has never been greater
violin virtuoso. A poor boy in Norway
Ole Bull began the study of the violin
from love of it, after many diseour-
agements in preparing for his career.
His skill as a musician, his manliness
and grace of bearing challenged the ad'
miration Of the world. He made his
debut in Paris in 1888 and was hon
ored by the presence of Paganini and
that master was witness to the young
aspirant's triumph. Success came to
Bull and he made a great deal OF
money. Being desirous of sharing his
good fortune with his eountrymen his
idea was to establish Norwegian col
ony in Pennsylvania, to do which he
purchased a large tract of land in Pot
ter county. The colony did not flour
ish, his countrymen grew discouraged
and so many applications were made te
Ole Bull for assistance that his entire
fortune was lost in helping his country
men. He again took up his violin tt
repair his shattered fortunes, after
ward marrying an American lady ane
settling down in Cambridge, Mass, bu
retaining a summer residence neal
Bergen, in Norway, where he died il
1880. Almost all traces of his settle
ment in Potter county have disappear
ed, but the site of his "castle" is ye
known, and annually the descendant
of those who remained here instead o.
returning to Norway, pay tribute tt
the great violinist.

Bulls Last Appearance Here

In rebuilding his fortunes Ole Bull
made many tours of this country, gen
orally accompanied by vocal artists of
repute, and his success was great
wherever he went. In Harrisburg he
was great favorite, his last appear
ance here being in the old Opera House
at Third and Walnut streets, about
1878. His last appearance in Harris
burg previous to that was in old
Brant's hall in 1874, on which occa-
sion he was accompanied by Clara Bar
ton, a prima donna who shared honors
with the violinist. On that occasion
he responded to numerous encores, be-
ing exceedingly good-natured and oblig-
ing, and it was while responding to an
encore that he gave his audience a
treat that was highly appreciated and
has never been forgotten by those who
heard him and still reside in Harris
burg.

Feared He Would Miss Train

His last appearance in Harrisburg
two years before his death was marked
by little incident that took place the
day after the concert, concert by
the way that was heard by an audience
that filed every seat in the Opera
House. On the day following the COM
psny was to leave Harrisburg for Phila-
delphia on train that left at noon.
Ole Bull had gotten up early, had his
breakfast and then went out to look
over the city. Nobody thought any
thing Of this, as it was his custom, the
only misgiving being that he might
not turn up in time to catch the train,
for he was notoriously absent minded,
and somebody had to keep track of him
~ see that he was on hand. Eleven
o'clock came and no Mr.. Bull. When
11.30 came the others in the company
began to grow apprehensive and one of
the company was sent out to find him.
It was near noon when the messenger
arrived with the missing Ole and took
him into the Lochiel Hotel in tri-
nmph. The others in the company
crowded about him and wanted to
know where he had been.

"A bill has passed the house of
representatives in the state legis-
lature to eliminate all constables
in Chesterfield county and give
the work to the rural policemen.
The ndmber of policemen would
be increased so that one would
serve about two townships. 1t
is claimed that about $500
could be saved annually by this
method.
The newly elected magistrates
went to Chesterfield Monday to
file their bonds. Each had ap-
pointed his constable, and there
was a storm of opposition when
ii was learned that an effort was
being made to get the bill
through the senate and thus
knock several men out of the
jobs they had expected. Sena-
tor Lancy and both representa-
tives were there. Some of the
opponents of the bill got warm
under the collar and thought
and said just few things.
The bill was scheduled to
come up in the senate yesterday,
but Senator Laney promised to
have it continued until today.
The new magistrates and would
be constables went home and
started something. Letters and
petitions from all parts of the
county were sent in to MIR.

kill the bill when it comes up in
the senate.

of the bill, and personal motives
were aSCrlbed.

The opinion that the period of
Senator Tillman's usefulness in
the senate has passed is general
throughout the state, but he
occasionally makes move that
is more effective than the efforts
of many of his younger col
leagues. When he speaks the
others give attention. The build
ing of more and larger battle
ships for our navy has been
under discussion. Tillman
shows he is not crazy by taking
the stand that it is better to wait
and see what effect the war may
have on the construction of ships
for effective fighting.
The Washington Herald says:
Senator Tillman's plan to sus.
pend the construction of war
ships until the close of the war
is full of wisdom. If his advice
is followed, there will be fewer
archaic monstrosities afloat to
contribute to the absurdity of
Uncle Sans inefficient naval
armament. Six months of the
present war have served to mod
ify existing naval theories very
materially. Better wait, gentle
men, until the vaunted Dread
nought either does or doesn't.
