HOW TO BE ri ! OF
CHR0vIC OAVD iUfF

The only way to be permanently
rid OF disgusting, untidy dandruff is
to correct its cause. Destroy the dan
druff germ and get rid of dandruff
for good by rubbing little of the
genuine Partisan Sage directly on the
bare scalp until absorbed. You will
surely be amazed at the result of even
one application.
Only few days massage with Par
isian Sage are needed to destroy the
germs that cause dandruff to form
The scalp becomes healthy, the hair
will grow better, show more life and
vitality, and you need never be
troubled by dandruff again. Faded
dull or lifeless hair is quickly restor-
ed to beauty by this simple treatment,
which is absolutely harmless.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
VIM. l.. Gokay and druggists every
where. 1t is not expensive.

It's far cry from the lighthouse
at Fairhaveh, N, Y" to Omaha, Neb..
but Helen Fitzpatrick, little girl
at the lighthouse, has found play
mates In that distant Western city
and actually plays games and enters
into competitions with them, This
was brought about by the Camp Fire
Girls, who admitted lonely little Helen
to their Camp Fire In Omaha, and
write her enthusiastic letters about
all must learn, and the honors for
which they compete.
AS life taught symbolism to the In
dians, so the sybollsm of the Camp
Fire movement Is teaching real life to
its girl members. For instance, Helen
Fitzpatrick learned TO press a skirt
and coat; to air and make bed; to
take care of a room, including sweep
ing, dusting, washing windows and
caring for flowers; to take charge OF
the pantry; to take daily care of two
kerosene lamps; to scrub a fioori TO
take care of q baby at least an hour
day; to bait hook, catch, clean and
cook fish; to make a bead-band, and
to make q ceremonial dress.
For each of these accomplishments.
the tasks being performed for stated
lengths of time, she was allowed to
put certain specified bead decora-
tions on her Camp Fire dress, and the
acquisition of all ten of them has
brought her the title of Wood Gath
erer, and many letters from her dis
tant playmates who have sent her
photographs of themselves in their
own earned Camp Fire dresses. The
Camp Fire Girls movement Is a sue
cessful way of making the simplest
domestic tasks seem attractive, and is
aimed exclusively at health and eff
ficiency in the home. One of the
Camp Fire Guardians" has described
it as "a new way to enjoy life"

Transfer Company Man Says Tanlac
Saved Him From Going
Down and Out
WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE

"Tanlac is the greatest tonic on the
Thompson St, Harrisburg, Pa, we'll
known Harrisburg Transfer Company
man.
Il was about ready to go down and
out for keeps and 1 can truthfully say
that Tanlac pulled me back from the
edge of the jumping off place"
II have to be out in all kinds OF
weather and the exposure had so
weakened my system that was all
run down and my blood was chuck
full of badness"
"My face was covered with big
nasty pimples and blotches, / had
hives all over my body and L had
chills and fever so bad that l felt that
1 would be racked to pieces"
II certainly was in rotten bad con-
dition and 1 was near desperate when
l heard about Tanlac."
1T sure did sound good to me and
I went to it quick. And it was all
1 hoped for and more for it fixed me
up right off the bat. l began to feel
better right away and now l feel as
if 1 had never had a sick day in my
life."
my chills and fever has gone
away; those blotches and pimples are
clearing up fast and the hives have
flew the coop. Just refer anybody
to me and I'll tell them that Tanlac is
the real medicine"
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here at
Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac
man is meeting the people and ex-
planning the merits of this master
medicine.

City dealers, with an amendment
pending In Legislature which would
compel them to sell all produce by
weight instead ef measure, are being
furnished with table giving the
weights per bushei of all commodities
by Harry d, Reel, city inspector of
weights and measures,
In compiling the table, Inspector
Reel included many articles not in
cluded in the food list, such as seeds,
nuts, grains, coal, coke, sand, lime
and other supplies. The present law
while 1t gives dealers permission to use
measures, requires certain weights for
these commodities, Tho amendment,
however, would mako II compulsory
to sell entirely by weight, This plan
has been favored by the State organi.

Inspector Reels table includes
weights for each bushel, half bushel,

S. P. c. A. Notes

One of the forms of work to which
the American Red Star Animal Relief
is '--~ed is care of the sanitation of
the shipping point, and the use of
erinarian of the United States army,
in a recent article in the National HUI
name Review, says:
The great curse to-day on the
Mexican border is shipping fever or
influenza. While / was buying horses
l could hear them coughing all around
me. We no doubt bought animals
coming down with this disease. Under
the contract system the animals are
rushed from different points to the
buying station for inspection. Though
some of the animals had been travel
ing several days, all were hustled from
the cars almost without food or water
and brought before us in an impov-
erished condition. The horses really
showed no symptoms of disease save
that they were gaunt, so we would
take them. The same night the horses
were started for San Antonio or Ell
Paso and given another three or four
days journey. BY the time they reach
ed their destination the animals were
simply poor wrecks-their whole sys-
tenn run down-subject to disease in
its most virulent form.
"The Slated cattle cars are not
proper to ship horses in. The animals
are frequently Drought direct from
pasture. The excitement and often the
temperature of the car causes them
to sweat profusely. This is followed by
q sudden chill when the train starts.
The effect is to make them very sus-
ceptible to throat and lung disease"
The modern mother quickly learns
to shun for her children the neighbor
who feeds them indiscriminately.
There are just as many good reasons
for not feeding another's dog. Before
thoughtlessly interfering with the diet
of some carefully reared animal ask
yourself If you are willing to pay for
the veterinary If the dog becomes iii
from mistaken kindness.
Tantalizing an animal is a thought
less habit that is unconsciously cruel.
A veterinarian of the United States
Navy says:
There are far too many people in
the world who play with dog for
their own amusement, without caring
whether the dog cares to participate in
the MAY, and actually are willing toj
enjoy themselves at his expense. They
tickle his ears or the pads of his
paws. they roll him over on the
ground when he wants to stand up.
and even offer him tempting morsels
which they have no intention of let
ting him eat, for the pleasure of see
ing the pleading look in his exaA.

AS undue summer exposure usually

such surface. There's nothing better for

is itself absorbed gently. gradually. so
there's no inconvenience. no detention
indoors Spread the wax lightly over the
entire face at bedtime and take it off
in the mornings with warm water. If
you will get one ounce of merCoHZed wax
a the drug store. use il for a week or
so. you may expect marked improve

is wholly in view your complexion will
