WRINKLES ALL

Read What A Grandmother SAYS
About Usit, the Wonderful
Skin Treatment

THE bottle of Usit has completely
cleared my face of the horrible
wrinkles that were such an eyesore
to my five daughters, and even my
grandchildren have their say about
Grandmas wrinkles. 1t is a Godsend
to wrinkle suffering humanity"
1t really seems to make no differ
ence whether wrinkles are due to ad-
vancing years, or other causes. When
Usit is regularly applied for a reason
able time they disappear, the skin
regains it's former smoothness, plump.
ness and color and the youthful ap-
pearance returns. Usit is such a splen-
did skin treatment that every woman,
old and young ought to have a bottle
on her dressing table always. 1t not
only banishes wrinkles but it keeps
the skin soft and velvety, supplying
just the nourishment required. Rough
skins are made smooth; sallow, dry,
faded compilations get back their ma
tural freshness from its use, and it is
also a fine treatment for freclIles,
blackheads and many forms of eczema.
Gorgas, the druggist, and all other
first-class dealers can supply Usit. 1t
is not a cream or paste, but q pure
nut-oil liquid. always put up in bot
ties. The formula for this truly. Won
derful preparation came from Egypt
where it has been in use by famous
beauties for centuries. Usit is very
daintily perfumed, guaranteed not to
cause hair-growth, and the first few
applications will make such differ
ence in the looks of your skin that
you will be delighted. 1t is only me-
cessary to use it at night before re-
tiring.-Adv.

COME
ON SPECIAL TRAIN
FOR GRAND OPERA
Gallo and the San Carlo Com
pany Back in City; Have
Had Great Season

The San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany. one of the most widely known
organizations of the kind in the coun-
try, which will appear at the Orpheum
Theater tonight, tomorrow afternoon
and tomorrow night, arrived in Har-
risburg to-day aboard a special train.
Fortune Gallo, impresario and man.
ager of the company, expressed him
self as delighted with the reception
the San Carlo artists had received at
the hands of the people of Johnstown
York and Pittsburgh.
Crowded houses everywhere" he
said as he alighted from his Pull
man; the most wonderful season we
ever had. The West was quite mad
about the San Carlo this year. The
people crowded the theater every
night. Our singers received ovation
after ovation. We have had larger
audiences this year than ever in our
long history. We were delighted with
our success last season: it has been
nothing compared with this"
Mr.. Gallo and the San Carlo COM
pany played in Harrisburg last season
under difficult circumstances and in
the most dismal weather of the win
ter. Nevertheless, they were received
by large audiences and made an eX-
cellent impression. The company car
ries its own orchestra in addition to
chorus and soloists. some of whom are
men and women of international repu-
tation. The San Carlo has high stand
ing among the musical organizations
of the country.

Am I happy? I should smile, for
I've found my health again after a

Tanlac.
"I was afflicted with catarrh of the
stomach and that is no fun l can tell
you. Drop, drop, drop all the time
and every drop adding to your misery.
Finally my stomach became so poison
ed that my food wouldn't digest and
for ten years L have suffered untold
agonies.

hardly drag myself to my work and
the days seemed so long and tedious l
though the whistle would never blow.
Then one day l saw testimonial
in the paper from William P. Yantz,
and as 1 know him to be a man of his
word I was convinced that Tanlac
would help me, too, as indeed it has.

Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here at

man is meeting the people and ex-
planning the merits of this master
medicine.

Editor Journal of American
Architects For Ittner

Charles II. Whitaker is the editor OF
the Journal of The American Insti-
tute of Architects, which is the organ
of that important organization. Mr.
Whitaker is himself an architect OF
ability, but is now devoting his time
to the Journal. He has lived all over
the world and is familiar with the
best architecture in Europe. His col
lection of prints of great cathedrals
and other architectural features which
have been brought into prominence
through the destruction of some OF
them by Germany is unique.
Mr. Whitaker travels all over the
country meeting architects, and it is
probable that no other man in the
country knows as many architects as
does Mr.. Whitaker.
Answering a Municipal League let
ter of inquiry concerning the work OF
Mr.. William b. Ittner, of st. Louis, he
writes as follows:
Mr.. Ittner's school work in the
city of st. Louis has given him a
reputation which l have never
heard qffuestioned He has also
done a great deal of work all over
the country, all of which l believe
came to him through the reputation
he made in the schools for the city
of st. Louis. OF course, l cannot
give, from the personal experience
his ability, as judged by such an
experience. [ know Mr.. Ittner
very well. and | know that the
reputation which he enjoys is based
upon his work. / dare say that he
has enemies and critics, as L never
knew any successful man who did
not have them, but in a matter of
this kind 1t seems relatively easy
to get at the actual facts because
his buildings exist, are in daily use,
and have had the test of service.
