who heard me / think understand my
position, but those who did not
wish to state in this letter what it is.
1t is the same stand | took two years
ago as a candidate for governor, and
what | advocated during the three

fewer offices, boards and commissions,
and reduction of taxes. | stood at
all times in the assembly for econ

travagance and unwarranted appro-

l am a candidate for the state senate
at this time, because l believe my
vote for lower taxes is needed more
there and would be much more effec-
tive than in the assembly. The trou-
BILE with the senate has been, it has
stood for high appropriations and
high taxes. If enough senator's can
be elected who will take a decided
stand against extravaganza, taxes can
be lowered. We are all interested in
having our taxes reduced, therefore
| think / can honestly say your vote
if cast for me for state senator will
be a vote for your own personal in
terests. My vote in the senate will
always be to lower taxes.
cannot impress upon you too
strongly the great Importance of turn
ing out at the primary election. So
many voters neglect to do so. They
think there is plenty of time TO vote
for a man at the November election.
But they may never have that oppor-
/ tunity, for if a man does not receive
the nomination, his name does not go
on the ballot and they cannot vote
1 for him in November. He must get
the nomination first at the primary
You see then, who it is so essential
to go to the polls Sept. 5. Don't fail
to do so, and get your neighbors and

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 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.
BY morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
/ times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
\ and four ounces is all you will need
r." matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails

The removal of elective officers from
the class under the liability act will
affect thousands of men.
After the Crooks. - Game Protec-
tor Kinter B. Rodgers has returned
from Crawford county where he and
other game wardens investigated the
bounty frauds that have brought that
county into prominence. Evidence
shows they say, that bounty claims for
about $4,000, being held up by the
State, are not legal and that they
were secured by Il series of connivan-
ces between hunters and justices of
the peace. Most of the men involved
in the fraud made clean breasts of
the affair, Mr.. Rogers says and gave
the game wardens all the information
in their possession. 1t now rests
with the officials of Crawford county
to decide whether the violations of
the law shall be followed by prosecu-
tions.
State Agents Busy. - Thirty-four
of the eighty-five prosecutions ordered
by the dairy and food division of the
State Department of Agriculture dur
ing January were for violations of the
cold storage law provisions relative
to eggs. In most cases stored eggs
were sold as fresh and the require
ment that a placard must be used to
announce wholesome cold storage
food was ignored. In some cases
eggs unfit to eat were found. Nine
teen other violations of cold storage
laws were prosecuted, including the
arrest of nine persons for selling cold
storage smelts which were not pla-
carded. In one case a man was sued
for storing beef beyond the legal limit
and then trying to sell it. Agents of
the department also brought prose-
cutions against three milk dealers for
selling milk below the standard of
fats and in a number of cases it was
discovered that fruits, dried figs,
candies and other foods were not up
to the State requirements In Warren
county a man was arrested for selling
sausage which contained no pork at
all, only raw potato flour and water.
COnstables Out. - The city police

compensation law The constable is
an elective officer, the policeman is
appointive. This is the result of the
new ruling of the State Board and is
being announced to municipalities.

pany has arranged to place cash

were all informal and the speakers
included III. n. Mcconnell, general

ager; John Ostertag, II. w. Stone and
L. l.. Ferree. The discussions were
all upon matters pertaining to the
operation of the big system.

the program although the big item
was the electrically prepared luncheon

things. Demonstrators from the
Westinghouse Electric Company

DR.. Zimmerman declined to discuss
these new demands or the instructions

cisely, but he left no doubt that the
whole crisis centered on Secretary
Lansing's demand that Germany dis
avow the sinking of the Lusitania as
an action contrary to international
law. The under secretary declared
repeatedly that Germany could not

tually would take the submarine
weapon out of her hands. He as
serted again and again that If the
United States desired to drive matters
to breach Germany could go no
further to avoid it and that the breach,
with all its lamentable consequences,
must come.
Regrets Stand
The most regrettable phase of the
situation, he asserted, was that there
existed no really important reason for
breach, no conflicts OF interest be-
tween Germany and the United States.
Germany, he said, was counting on re-
ciprocal development of trade with
America after the war. These hopes
would be dashed, or at any rate their
development would be hampered
greatly, if breach were to come now;
but Germany would do no more.
DR.. Zimmerman evidently believes
German now has in the submarine
highly effective weapon for use against
England. When reminded that seven
experts had disagreed previously on
this point, he replied:
Yes, L used to think that way, but
now L have changed my mind"

Will Act Soon. - Members of the
State Workmens Compensation Board
are receiving numerous letters and
suggestions on the subject of the
daily wage determination which was
argued at the conference on Wednes-
day and it is likely that the question
will be disposed of very shortly. Many
of the letters urge that the board
stick to the letter of the law and that
the act be given a trial, pointing out
that the next Legislature will afford
opportunity for making changes. The
board is scheduled to meet Tuesday.
Retail OIeo Licenses. - Forty-nine
retail licenses to sell oleomargarine
in Harrisburg were issued by the
Dairy & Food division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture during 1915.
There was one wholesale license and
one clearinghouse license issued in
the city during the year. In Dauphin
county the total number of licenses
was 20.
Twelve Arrested Here. - Twelve
Harrisburg grocers were recently
prosecuted by the Dairy and Food De-
partment of the Department of Agri-
culture for selling dried peaches con-
tanning sulphur dioXide. Nine paid
fines of $50 each and three others
paid the costs of the suits. Two coffee
and Chicory cases were recently ter
minated with fines of s25 being paid.
One was a case of selling a mixture
containing cereal and the other for
selling a coffee compound misbranded.
Will Save Much. - Decision by the
State Compensation Board that jurors

had been taken to get rates for insur-
ing jurors and plans were under con-
sideration to take care of witnesses
when the revised ruling was issued.
