PAY ATTENTION
TO THAT LITTLE
BALD SPOT

Here's good news at last for men
and women whose hair is falling, who
are getting bald, or prematurely gray
and whose scalps are covered with
dandruff that nothing seems to keep
away and whose heads itch like mad
H. C. Kennedy has secured the local
agency for Partisan Sage, simple,
harmless hair treatment that is so cer-
tain in it's tonic action on the hair and
scalp and so sure of giving the limit of
satisfaction, that they sell it with offer
of money refunded IL it does not abolish
dandruff, stop itching head, and not
only check excessive loss OF hair but
stimulate a new growth
Partisan Sage is delicately per-
fumed liquid, antiseptc and scientih-
cally prepared, which when massaged
into the scalp goes right down to the
hair roots, where most hair worries
begin, and furnishes the famished
roots with the nourishment that is lack
ing to make the hair grow better and
show more life and vitality. Partisan
Sage not only stimulates hair growth
but beautifies ii so that ii is a favor
ite dressing of women who take pride
in beautiful hair that can be easily ar
ranged and appear much heavier than
ii really is. A large bottle is ineXpen-

WILL NOT GRANT
SPRING COALCUT
Dealers Declare Usual Fifty
Cent Reduction Will Not
Be Made

Because of an unusually heavy de-
mand for coal, Harrisburg dealers
will not grant the usual April / re-
duction of fifty cents ton to con-
sumers.
An official of the Wallis Coal Com
pany stated that while no official an
pouncement has been made regarding
the price of ccal this spring, he does
not anticipate any change in the
domestic coal market. although steam
coal would be uncertain in price as
it has been all winter. The usual
fifty-cent reduction, made to stimulate
buying will not be granted this
spring owing to the large demand,
was the belief of a majority of deal
ers.
Heavy Orders on Hand
j. B. Montgomery, one of the
largest dealers in the city also be-
lieves that the spring reduction will
not be made owing to the heavy de-
mand. He stated that the operators
at the present time have more orders
than they can fill within sixty days.
The United Ice and Coal Company
was of the same opinion, while Nc
Creath Brothers, John III. Gates and
other prominent dealers were uncer-
tain.
Several Philadelphia concerns have
announced that the fifty-cent reduc-
tion will not be granted, owing to the
fact that operators have not made
the usual April l reduction.

Washington. March 6. - The Senate

mine their party program and choose
a majority leader. Senator Martin, of
Virginia, was unopposed as a candi-
date.
Thirty-seven senator's have signed
an agreement to support cloture rule,
but most Republicans and perhaps a
few Democrats are expected to op-
pose it.

GERMANY HOPES PLOT MAY
INVOLVE JAPAN AND u. S.

London, March 6. - The German
governments plan for involving Mex
leo and Japan in war with the United
State, in event of hostilities between
Germany and America, was defended
in an address before the Reichstag
by the foreign secretary, DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman. as quoted in Reuter-
dispatch from Amsterdam. Replying
TO objections raised by a Socialist
member to the Mexican proposals, DIR.
Zimmerman said:
I'VE were looking out for all of US. in
the event OF there being the prospect
of war with America. 1t was a nat
ural and justified precaution, I am not
sorry that, through it's publication in
America, 1t also became known in
Japan.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-03-06

For the dispatch of these instruc-
tons a secure way was chosen which
at present is at Germany's disposal.
How the Americans came into pos
session of the text which went to
America in special secret code we do
not know. That these instructions
should have fallen into American
hands Is a misfortune, but that does
not alter the fact that the step was
necessary for our patriotic interests.
Least of all are they in America
justified in being excited about our ac-
ton. 1t would be erroneous to sup
pose that the step made a particularly
deep impression abroad. 1t is re-
garded as what it is-justifiable defen-
sive action in the event of war"
