Elaine was quite i'll indeed.

nedy advanced.
"Why-what is the matter?" asked
Craig anxiously,
Doctor Hayward shook his head du-
biously, but Kennedy did not notice
him, for, as he approached Elaine, she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed it a letter and handed 1t to
him
Craig took it and read:

morrow you will be worse. The next
day you will die unless you discharge

most as if of garlic, in the room 1t

about him curiously, but said nothing.

at him.

asked rs he sick, too?"

lowing Craig with her deep eyes,
Craig reached down and gently
pulled the collie out into the room
Rusty crouched down close to the
floor. His nose was hot and dry and
feverish He was plainly i'll.
How long has Rusty been in the
room?" asked Craig.
"All night" answered Elaine. Il
wouldn't think of being without him
now"
May take Rusty along with me?"
Craig asked finally
Elaine hesitated Surely" she said
at length, only be gentle with him."
"Of course" he said simply II

cover the trouble from studying him. :"
We stayed only a few minutes

The New York police are mystified by a

arrangement that seemed to contain

end was an eye-piece, as nearly as

the little incision he had made, will

Quickly Craig made one test after

HOW TO GET RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get perma-
nently rid of either oily or dry dan
druff is to remove the conditions that
cause it and then keep the hair and
scalp in a permanent, clean, healthy,
vigorous state so dandruff will never
return. This beats shampoos or head
washes which merely drive away dan
druff for a few days at most H. c.
Kennedy and a number of other bet
ter druggists in this vicinity are now
strongly recommending a harmless,
inexpensive and quick acting prepar-
alton called Partisan age that they
say is guaranteed to act directly on
the cause of dandruff and which al
ready has become known far and wide
as safe and efficient treatment which
cannot possibly injure hair or scalp.
Here is a test worth trying. Get a
package of Partisan Sage. Rub a little
of 1t into the scalp with the finger thus
and see for yourself how the dandruff
disappears, the hair stops falling out,
the itching vanishes. anda new and
vigorously healthy appearance comes
over the hair. Good looking hair is
half the battle in any man or woman s
personal appearance and nothing hurts
the hair more than dandruff. Try a
little Partisan Sage and begin at once
TO be rid of it.-Advertisement.

MUSCULAR BACKACHE

The muscles of the back do the
heavy work of the body. When they
are overworked or i'll nourished they
ache and people who are looking for
trouble begin to worry about their
kidneys.
Backache may be due to lumbago,
which is rheumatism of the muscles
of the back, but more backaches are
caused by overstrain, overwork and
muscle starvation due to thin blood
than by anything else.
DR.. williams Pink Pills build up
the blood and sufferers from backache
would do we'll to try this treatment
before giving way to worry over a
.fancied organic disease. Rest and the
tonic treatment with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will correct most forms of
ibackache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or
dance too much and sleep too little,
better habits and q course of treat
meat with DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are all that are needed to drive away
the pains and aches that are warn

JUST WHERE IS
SPRING TODANCE
Fountain Will Probably Be
Placed at Front and State
Streets

The dance of eternal Spring" after
all, may not edify and uplift an eager,
watchfully waiting public until next
Spring.
OF reasons, there are several. The
probable cold weather crouch of the
weather man is the first; the question
of q harmonious decision of all the
members of the newly created city art
commission is another; the view City
Council may take of the commits
sion's recommendation may be an
other.
The commission consisting OF Park
Commissioner NJ. Harvey Taylor,
President E. S. Herman OF the City
Planning Commission. NJ. J. Kast, of
the Southern Pennsylvania Chapter
Of American Architects. Mrs. William
Henderson, of the Civic Club, and j.
Horace Mcfarland, Municipal League,
went over all the talked of sites yes
terday afternoon with Giuseppe
Donate, the sculptor. And then il
was agreed that another meeting
would be held next Monday afternoon
in the park office to decide upon a
recommendation.
The fact that at least fifty feet of
space will be necessary to include the
fountain, the basins and the bal
ustraded enclosure which the sculptor
has in mind, eliminated all but two
sites. These are the park at Front
and State street and the slopes OF
Reservoir. Other points considered
included the grass plot in State just
Off Second, Twenty first and Market
streets. Harris Park, and the slopes
of the old entrance to Reservoir at
Walnut and Eighteenth. Mr.. Donate
declined smilingly but firmly to say
what he considered the best point
That the sculptor favors the River
Front Park with the State Capitol in
impressive background, as the more
desirable site, is generally believed.
