Says Fine For Sore
Burning, Inflamed Feet

Don't worry when your feet smart
and burn and ache and feel sore all
day long. You can easily get rid of
the agony and distress by drawing out
the Inflammation with Petersons
Ointment.
II know a hundred men," says Pet
erson, 'who tell me that after trying
the many things advertised for sore
feet that the only relief they found
was in a 25 cent box of Peterson's
Ointment.
"Rub it on freely before going to
bed, first washing the feet with soap
and hot water, and I'm sure you'll
sleep sound and wake up in the morn
ing with feet almost as good as new
and soreness all gone.
Sore feet is a common, yet pain
full ailment that can be readily con-
duered by the use of Peterson's Oint-
ment, which has cured thousands of
Eczema, Piles, Running Sores and
skin diseases. Every druggist i'm
America is authorized to refund your
money if Peterson's Ointment doesn't
do as advertised"
Note: BY sore feet Peterson means
inflamed, smarting, burning, aching
weary feet, and not corns, bunions OF
callouses.-Advertis

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff ut
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
YOU destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
5 1t 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
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will f1nd all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Adv.

Morris Fink, brother of Mrs. H.
T. Beard, 32 South Second street,
is with the Two Hundred and Thirty
Eighth Battalion, Canadian forces,
located at lnvernessshire, Ovimore,
Scotland.
A letter to this effect was received
by Mrs. Beard recently. Mr.. Fink
is known in Steelton and was born
in Annville.
He is fighting for the allies because
he thinks every American should en-
list. He enlisted at the outbreak of
the war because he wanted to help
the allies defeat Germany, before il
was necessary for the states to take
hand in the turmoil.
Served With United States
He served with the United States
during the Spanish American War
with the Twenty Eighth Pennsylva-
MIA Volunteers. He served the entire
term and won laurels as a sharp
shooter with this company and as
the colonePS orderly. After the war
he resided at San Francisco. He
later moved to British Columbia
where he enlisted at the outbreak
of the struggle. He answered the first
call for volunteers. The company
in which he is serving is composed
of men who are six feet or more in
height.
Now in Hospital
He has been in the hospital for
five months and is slowly improv-
ing. Friends in Steelton some time
ago sent him a carton of tobacco.
He says that the tobacco they get
over there tastes like rotten wood
and thinks Americans should keep
their> boys supplied with the weed.
His father who was born in Ber-
lin fought in the Civil War. Mr..
Fink has a wife and two children
living in British Columbia.
