HOW TO CIT RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get perma-
nently rid of either oily or dry dam
drun is TO remove the conditions that
cause it and then keep the hair and
scalp in permanent, clean, healthy.
vigorous state so dandruff will never
return. This beats shampoos or head
washes which merely remove the dan
druff for few days at most H. C.
Kennedy ana the better druggists
everywhere are now strongly recon-
mendtnS harmless. inexpensive and
quick acting preparation called Pa
risian Sage that is guaranteed TO act
directly on the cause of dandruff and
which already has become generally
known as a safe and efficient treat
ment which cannot possibly injure the
hair or scalp.
Here is a test no one should fail to
try. Get a package or Partisan Sage
Rub little of it into the scalp with
the finger tips and see for yourself
how the dandruff disappears, the hair
stops falling out and all itching imme-
diately ceases. Even one application
usually gives the hair a strong. healthy
appearance. Nothing hurts the hair
more than dandruff. so begin using
Partisan Sage to-day and be forever
rid of it.

FARMERS LOSING
MUCH FERTILIZER
State Authorities Call Atten-
ton to Lack of Economy
on Farms Nowadays

Farmers of the State are declared
TO be losing, throwing away or other
wise not getting the use of thousands
of dollars worth of valuable fertilizer
every month by agents of the State
Department of Agriculture who have
been engaged in looking up the ferti-
lizer situation since the European war
dislocated the potash situation. Some
of the Investigations have been made
in Dauphin, Cumberland and York
counties and show a failure to realize
the value of stable and farm manure
]. I. Campbell. soil and crop en-
pert of the State Department of
agriculture declares in a bulletin just
issued that farmers ought to stop
worrying over the shortage of Eu-
ropean potash and look after what
they lose at home.
Mr.. Campbell writes in this bull
letin:-
on many farms the liquid manure
OF the farm livestock goes down
through the floor of the stable or is
otherwise lost to the land and with it
Goes immense value to the farmer
Crops taken from the field remove
more or less potash while crops fed to
through the urine. If the liquid ma
nure is not returned TO the soil, the
potash supply of the soil suffers.
''lf concrete watertight floors were
constructed in the barns and enough
of litter used to absorb the liquid. or
concrete or watertight pits or reser-
Noirs provided adjacent TO the sta bles
and barns, and the resultant manure
were intelligently applied to the soil,
there would not be a great need for
additional potash.
Most farmers have an exaggerated
idea of the need of more plant food
in the soil. What is needed more is a
knowledge of how to make use of the
plant food already in the soil. Some
experiment stations are conducting a
lot of experiments to show what can
be done with chemical fertilizers and
practically doing northing to show US
how the soil fertility can be maintain
ed or restored without the expense of
using chemicals and by going on in
natures own way"

Businessmen Plan to
Help Embargo Troubles

Fearing a shutdown of many of the
largest industrial plants in Philadel-
phia unless businessmen speedily take
from the Pennsylvania Railroad the
freight consigned for them, traffic
managers of several representative
firms held a conference yesterday to
urge haste in claiming and unloading
cars consigned to them.
Plans were made to send letters to
all industrial manufacturers asking
them to cooperate by unloading
promptly freight consigned to them.
Indications that satisfactory pro-
gress already is being made in clear
ing away freight were furnished by
figures given out by the Pennsylvania
Railroad late yesterday afternoon.
According to these figures 1897 cars
were accepted up to o'clock. The
number of cars awaiting removal
now number 1896. of which 5S76
are in the city and 5l00 outside.
