RERNHARDT AFFLICTED WITH
 A MALADY OF THE BONES.
Is Giving Occasional RecitaIs While |
 Sitting in a Chair.

Paris. Dec. 23. 2.16 p. m.-Sarah Bernhardt. a report of whose danger ous illness was denied yesterday, now Is said to be afflicted with a malady of the bones, which Is obscure and per haps incurable. It does not prevent her from giving occasional public reel tations while sitting in a chair. These performances are artistic and effective.
 Madame Bernhardt talks of her American tour and is going ahead with the arrangements. Nevertheless, she appears to be doubtful whether she ever will be in health and strength to undertake the trip. She does not get on very well with an artificial leg. She has received probably every variety of artificial leg, presented by the maker or by friends. She says she intends to try them all, and then use the one she likes best. But in reality she does not trust herself to any model. She seems to lack courage for much practice.
 A specialist on this subject doubts if she will ever walk easily. She now uses two canes and is assisted by two persons on entering the theatre.
 Notwithstanding her present condi- tiCn, Madame Bernhardt shows re- markable patience and constant good humor, even Baiety. She laughs and jokes. tells amusing stories and Is the wit of any gathering about her.

CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY
 INCREASES CAPITAL STOCK,
From s2o,ooo,ooo to sso .ooo, ,ooo-Vots to Take Over General Motor Co.

New York, Dec. 23.-Stockholders of the Chevrolet Motor company today authorized an increase of the capital stock from s2O, ,OOO. 900 to ssO,oO0, 900 and empowered the directors to ex- change Chevrolet shares for Gener- al Motors shares na basis of five Chevrolet for one of General Motors.
 The vote to take over the General Motors company was not altogether unanimous, some shareholders ex- pressing doubt as to the advantage Of such action. It is known that certain banking interests of this city and Boston, which financed the General Motors company a few years ago, are opposed to control by the Chev- rolet, but they were greatly outvoted at today's meeting.
 Chevrolet shares. which are traded in on the curb, closed at 147 today while General Motors, which is listed nthe stock exchange and is one of its most prominent features. closed at 465. a decline of 93 points from its high record price early in the month. Recently General Motors declared a cash dividend of 50 per cent. on its SIG. 5O7, 400 of common stock.
 The Chevrolet company is controlled by interests which organized the Gen eral Motors company, but which re- tired from the latter company when it was refinanced.

months in every conceivable manner
that human ingenuity could suggest.
DR.. Hume, it is said, has igven his
seances throughout England, Germany
and France and is now making tour
of the United States attracting wide
spread attention. He courts fullest in
vestigation and conducts his opera
tions and experiments in the strong
est light surrounded by committee.
In the seance at the Gennett Sunday
night he will give his famous "dema-
terialization" test which has involved
great deal of comment among sc1en-
tific men, Questions written and re-
tanned by the interrogators will re-
ceive full and intelligent answers. ST.

There will be other manifestations OF
his power and the affair promises to
arouse the keenest interest in the sub

You Can't Brush or

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy 1t entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon :;
apply 1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
It in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most II not all Of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy, every single sign and
trace Of It, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work-adv.

current at the smallest cost. That
means if the Light, Heat & Power
has plant which Is not as efficient
as the city plant and watered stock
figures into it's plant valuation, it will
have to bring it's plant up to the eff
cheney of its competitor and squeeze
the water out of it's valuation if it de-
sires to compete with the city on a
basis profitable to itself. Under no
circumstances, however, would the
commission authorize rates which
would not net the plant used as
