Dangerous Prank

Trifling with Uncle Sans
business is highly venturesome
and the venturer generally has
the joke turned on himself.
e. M. MagilI married the dau-
ghter of Aug. Cant some months
ago. There were several who
aspired to the young lady's
hand, and unless it was one of
them who wrote the letter, a
copy of which is below, Magill
cannot guess who undertook to
trick him.
This is the letter he received
last week:
Kansas City, Mo.
C. M. Magill
Kind Sir:
According to law you are here
by notified to be prepared to join
the U. S. army at K. c. on Aug.
the 2lst, 1917.
Please give this your atten-
ton.
Yours truly,
U. S. Officer,
K. C. Mo. !.
Magill turned the original over
to Jess Richardson, Secty. OF
the examining board and by him
+it was forwarded to army head
quarters for action.
Magill in the mean time with
his wife are pursuing their farm
ing business but little disturbed
by the probable efforts OF a
jealous rival to send the young
husband abroad and affordiDg
an opportunity to win the affec-
tions of a desirable young widow.

Pennsylvania Oil
Nears So Mark

PITTSBURGH. Jan. 5-Pennsyl-
vania crude oil advanced TO within
5 cents barrel of the goal for which
producers have been contending for
many years when the principal pur-
chasing agencies announced an advance
Of 10 cents to $295 at the opening of
the market. Other grades were ad-
vanoed as follows:
Mercer Black, cents to s25s; Corn
ing. S cents to $3.50; Cabel. s cents to
2H; Somerset, s cents to $40; Rag
land, , cents to 81 cents.
Refiners say that, the rapid increase
in price has not brought them a grea,
deal OF oil. although there are large
quantities above ground. Producers,
they say, are marketing as little as
possible and they do not expect a rush
of oil until the s. mark has been
reached.

mists as "lefthanded, both inside

ment for treatment He said he
was a laborer and had no home

history of surgery, The heart was
on the right side; the liver on the
left; the appendix was on the left
side, the spleen was on the right
side. ThA stomach was turned
around completely On the left lung
was three lobes the right lung had

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty OF thick,
beautiful, glossy silky hair do by all
means get rid of dandruii, for it will
starvc your hair and ruin it you don't.
1t doesn't do much good TO try TO
brush or wash it out The only sure
way TO get rid of dandruif is TO dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, &c, about four ounces OF ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring: use enough to mois,en the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most il not all, OF your
dandruif will be gone and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of IT.
You will find. too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundrcd times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need no matter
how much dandruif you have. This
simple remedy never fails
