LONG CAR STRIKE

Insist Men Must Yield or For
felt Labor Support

Wilkes Barre Pa, Dec. 12.-Ohicers
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea have demanded that the trolley
strike carried on in Wilkes Barre for
the last fourteen months be speedily
ended. These demands have been serv-
ed on the striking carmen, and it is
pointed out that If a settlement is not
reached at once there can be no fur
ther guarantee that the labor unionists
who have so Loyalty supported the
strikers will continue to do so.
The mine workers point out that the
strike has been carried on at great
sacrifice to all laboring classes, and
that 1t has reached the point where it
is a burden that will not be further
endured.
Have Peace Offer
The mine workers have backed up
their demand with the submission of a
peace offer that has been procured from
the company. This offer has been
by all labor crafts. The mine
workers claim it is the best peace set
tlement that can be obtained and that

Sixty more are to go on the extra list.
The wage basis will be on the terms

In emphasizing the burden caused
by the strike. the mine workers point
out that many loyal unionists have suf-

Combing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
cruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it 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. If 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 dan
druff 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.

You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never

Personally, 1 never use butter in
baking, having learned. that the can
ned shortening with the salt added is
a perfect substitute. Also, when eggs
are called for, excellent results are
obtained by using fewer. Where it
says three, | often use two; where two
use one, etc. l mention Royal bak-
ing powder only because it happens
to be the kind l have always used but
any other brand would do as WELL
A delightful extra bite to have on
hand for late suppers during the holi-
day week is nut bread. The regular
receipt calls for English walnuts but

saving the pennies.

OF course Christmas would not be
