DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful. glossy, silky hair, do by ali
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if YOU

this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; 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 com

every single sign and trace of il,
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. It is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need.

A comparison of merchandise ton
mage records on the Pennsylvania rail-

exception of 1909. In December, 1915.

which Is looked upon as indicative of
conditions on the entire system,
amounted to 754.72S tons. while in
1909 the tonnage in December was
7S6,156 These figures do not include
coal and coke.
In December. 1915. the increase in
tonnage over December, 1914, was 60. 4
per cent, the total for December, 1914,
being 456,190 For the year 1915 the
total tonnage was S.269,115, as against
7,SS7.962. representing an increase in
1915 of 11.9 per cent. Only three years
since 1905 show a total tonnage less
than that of 1915, these years being
1908. 1911 and 1914.
Tonnage figures for 1913 showed an
increase over 1912 each month of the
year until October. when there was a
decrease of LIS per cent. from the same
month of 1912. From October, 1918,
to April, 1915. the tonnage each month
was less than the same month of the

Nania, who addressed the Telephone
Society of Harrisburg at the meet
ing last night in the Board of Trade
oulldlng, returned to New York on
the night train.
Mr. Bethel said: NO one can
doubt that prosperity is with us
right now. Everywhere you go the
evidence is unmistakable. 1t is not
only the war order business. 1t is a
general revival through practically
all lines and it is with us at least un-
til the war ends and then no one
can tell what the necessary readiust-
ment will bring forth"
Mr.. Bethel stated that figures for
the year 1915 for the entire Bell Tele-
phone system were not yet available
when he left New York, but taking
the figures for eleven months and
estimating December. it is probable
that the gross earnings of the en-
| tire system for the year were about
S24O. 100000, as compared with $225,-
952,12S for 1914.

Philip Boileau-Artist.

As for the artists actual life, it has been as full of romance as any make believe could be. It is true that he proncunces his name like swallow with B. and not, as has been sug- gested, like some continental battle field, but by all rights it should be given with all the liquid and soft-spok- en grace of the most patrician of French accents. The artists father was a nobleman of France, no less in deed than M. le Baron Gouldree de Boileau, who had been consul general from the French government in Can ada and who was secretary to the French minister in Washington when he met and married one of the daugh- ters of Thomas H. Benton of Missouri. This was the artists mother, and it is through her that he claims kinship. and very proudly, too, he declares, with the Prestons of Virginia, and, through them, to a share in our own goodly inheritance of southern ideals and traditions.-Southern Woman's Magazine.

(By E. F. WHITE Mississippi Agricul- tural College)
 At this season of the year an ex- 1 traordinarily large number of young or chards are being planted throughout | the southern states
 All these young orchards should be headed back right now.
 Truly a stitch in time saves nine in this heading back operation, for it will save many cuts later on in the { life of the tree Peach and plum trees should be headed back to a single stem 15 to IS inches above the ground.
 Apple and pear trees should be headed back to IS to A inches from the ground.
 Care should be taken to make sure that six to eight healthy buds are left below the heading back cut, for the best of these will be the future major limbs of the tree.
 There are five reasons for having the trees close to the ground instead of trimming them up" skyward, where only an agile climber armed with an extension ladder can relieve them of their fruits. These reasons are:
 1. Low headed trees are more cas- fly pruned
 2. Low headed trees are more cas- fly sprayed.
 8. Low headed trees are more cas- fly picked.
 4. Low headed trees have fewer wind-fallen fruits from high winds. 5. Low headed trees shade the trunk of the tree against sun scald.
 If two-year-old trees are planted they should not be headed back to a single stem but their limbs should be cut back one-half
 Besides the five energy conserving reasons for heading fruit trees low, there is still another very important reason. It conserves ones religion. If you can stand on the ground while pruning, spraying, and picking you will find that your religion is far saf- CT than if you had to do these opera tions high among the whipping branches of the trees.
 This useless and barbarous prac- tice of heading trees so high that a giraffe cannot even pluck the lowest branches must have come down to us

PROTECT YOUNG APPLE TREES
Thin Wooden Veneer Wrapper Will Prevent Girdling by Rodents
 Screen Wire Alec Good.

Perhaps the best protection against girdling of fruit trees by mice and rabbits is obtained by using thin wooden veneer wrapper which has been soaked to keep it from breaking. then bent around the tree and held in place by a single wire about the middle, writes C. C. Wiggans in Mis- souri Valley Farmer. The wire stays in place better if passed through a hole near the outer edge of the veneer wrapper. The wrapper should be pushed down into the earth so mice cannot burrow under it, or they may be shut out by heaping soil up around the bottom of the case and tramping it firm. Coiled screen wire may be used in much the same way, but it is more expensive. The veneer wrappers do not usually cost more than half or three-quarters of a cent apiece, and can be secured from any orchard SUD- ply house.
 Punches of long grass, or split corn stalks, may give good protection against rabbits, but fail to keep mice from doing harm. Newspapers or tar paper wrapped around the tree trunk have been successfully used by many orchardists.
 Paint and washes do not give good results, as the rabbits sometimes seem to attack the washed trees more than the untreated ones
 Damage from mice should be avoid ed by the removal of all loose, trashy material from the neighborhood of the base of the tree trunk. If the ground has been fall plowed the under furrow slice has good nesting places for mice and the nearby trees are likely to sui fer, but if the ground near the tree is clean and well compacted little dam age will be done by these rodents.
