Judge w. n. Seibert's sudden death

attracted statewide attention to one
of the smallest of the judicial dis

not wait until his return from Florida,
but will telegraph his selection.
Judge Seibert was a leader of the
drys and held the balance of power
on the Perry bench. The two asso-
ciate judges are divided and the Perry
license court comes next month. The
Juniata license court comes in the
week of the twenty fifth and as both

1000 LOaves Of Bread
Are Sold at Half Price

Carlisle should care if she does
not get her bread on time! 1t hap
pened yesterday No bread for
breakfast; no bread for dinner. The
bakers nearly went mad trying to ex-
plain that the 1000 loaves which
usually arrive at an early hour were
not on hand. No one could tell what
had become of the shipment Finally
at o'clock in the afternoon news
spread that the staff of life had ar
rived via Adams Express. full L.
600 loaves. And how the school chill
dren did their part, disseminating
the good news all over town. AS II
was too late for delivery the express
company put the whole shipment on
sale at five cents a loaf instead of
ten and in exactly forty minutes Car
lisle had bought it up, glad to take
advantage of the five cent rate.

Why, what do you mean?" asked
Helen in bewilderment.
We'll, something is wrong, there's
no denying that. My husband
doesn't like the general effect after
all the money l spent on it, too. He
says it doesn't look anything at all
Helen was silent, and Mrs. Frisby
ratified on quickly.
Il told him that we spent more
money than you and Mr.. Curtis did"
Helen smiled involuntarily, it was
such a typical remark.
Il realize that YOU have spent
more money than we have" Helen
returned quietly.
Mrs. Frisby did not understand
that she had been rude, and in fact
little vulgar; she did not know it
and so she simply looked at Helen
with wide eyes, and repeated, well,
then what's wrong?"
Helen looked around her and sud
denly made up her mind that mas
much as Mrs. Frisby had gotten her
over TO ask such question, she,
Helen, would answer it truthfully.
Whats wrong?" Helen asked.
We'll, in the first place, you have
spent the money for the wrong
things. 1t isn't always the expen-
sive thing that is the appropriate
thing. Your pictures are all wrong"
But, Mrs. Curtis" Mrs. Frisby
interrupted, II love my pictures"
You asked me to tell you," per-
sisted Helen firmly. "All that brio
a-brac is very bad"
But l bought them for real an
tique pieces"
But they aren't real" Helen went
on. And the entire lighting effect
is wrong here. There is such a blaze
of overhead light that your entire
room shows up too garishly. If you
had a few soft lamps with pretty
shades the entire effect would be
changed"
Il guess you're right there. My
husband says that he'd like a lamp
to read by, but | thought these crys-
tai hangings were beautiful
Again Helen sighed involuntarily.
She might tell Mrs. Frisby what was
wrong with her apartment, she
might even get her to correct some
of the glaring mistakes in decora-
tions, but no one in the world could
ever train Mrs. Frisby to think cor
rectly. and that was the real thing
necessary, after all.

CHAPTER MI.

CHAPTER MI.
1t was the night of the engage
ment dinner. The dozen people
seated about the Livingstone's table
We're talking very merry.
Announcement has been made OF
Dora's engagement to Milton Van
Saun, and had created just as much
surprise as the pretty young host
ess had hoped. She was not con-
fused nor embarrassed by the con-
gratulations showered upon her, nor
by the toasts drunk in her honor.
Nor was the prospective groom at
all self-concious as he responded
to some of these toasts.
Then when the various members
of the party began again to pay
attention to one another and to talk
of something except the astonishing
fact of the betrothal, Gerald Stew
ard turned to Cynthia Long, whom
he had brought out to dinner.
We'll" he remarked, that an
rouncement business is over, any
way! l would that the fuss of it
all if I were the happy man. But
Van does not mind it bit. 1 envy
him his sang froid."
Cynthia glanced across the table
TO Whefe Milton sat at Dora size,
chatting as calmly as if nothing
unusual had occurred.
Il think that kind of self pos
session is born to one, not acquired, -
Cynthia observed. Different peo-
pie take their experiences differ
emily. Now, there is Dora,
She stopped and her companion
took her up eagerly.
"Yes?" he said, what about her?
What We're you going to say"
"Only that she takes all her eX-
periences naturally, easily. They
do not seem to ruffie her gay Sc
renity-if one may use such a term.
She is the happiest girl have ever
seen. Perhaps it may be because
she has never had any real trouble" "
She was silent, yet the man beside
her did not seen to notice her si-
lence. His eyes were fixed on Dora
and he appeared to be studying her
glowing face.
Glad of a Respite.
Cynthia was glad to be allowed
to stop talking. She had found it
difficult to carry on a cheerful con-
versation this evening. 1t was her
first appearance at any social affair
since her great bereavement, and
she felt her trouble to be all the
stronger because of the contrast

THEIR MARRIED LIFE
Copyright by International News Service

Helen shivered as she gained the
warmth of the apartment. 1t was
one of the coldest days of the winter
and she had become thoroughly
chilled through while shopping.
Did any one call up, Mary?"
"Yes, ma am. Mrs. Frisby called
up and she wants you to come over
this afternoon
Helen flushed Indignantly. Friend
ly as she had tried to be with Mrs.
Frisby, the more any one did for
that small person, the more was eX-
pected. Helen had begun her cam
paign by trying to treat her nicely,
but Mrs. Frisby, disliked by the 9TH
er women, Immediately pounced on
Helen as her own particular friend.
She had a gushing personality, talk
ed foolishly and said whatever came
in her mind. She was a silly, vapid
little woman, extremely sensitive,
and it was difficult to please her un-
less one wanted to be at her beck
and call.
Helen determined not to go over
to the Frisbys, but the more she
thought of it the more her con-
science told her she ought to go.
Perhaps Mrs. Frisby really needed
her. OF course there was the
chance of it being something alto
gether trivial, but then, the distance
wasn't far, Helen reflected, and she
might las we'll go.
Mrs. F'risby herself opened the
door and smiled.
"Oh, my dear, I just knew you
would come. l wanted so much to
talk to someone, and l would rather
have you than anyone else
Did yo uwant me for any partic-
ular reason? / just got home from
shopping, and my maid said that
you had told her it was important"
"Oh, yes, it is. My dear l had the
most awful argument with my hus-
band last night. You know how
much he admires your taste and
Judgment, and l just told him that
was going to ask your advice"
But 1 couldn't advise you con-
cerning an argument between your
self and your husband" protested
Helen.
"Oh, but you must" said Mrs.
Frisby, that's why l asked you to
come over in the first place, you
simply must. You see if l hadn't
really needed you to come here, I
should have come to you, but
wanted you to come over to ask you
serious question. What is the mat
ter with this apartment"

CUMBERLAND TO
BE DRY IN 1918
Legislators Will Be Chosen
Who Will Be Favorable
to the Dry Amendment

Cumberland county is to be in
the dry column this year, no matter
whether Republicans or Democrats
win the legislative seats accredited
to that district in the lower House
of the General Assembly. Sentiment
in favor of the ratification of the dry
amendment is strong and Repub-
hcans, who look for a large enroll
ment of voters, say that there will
be two Republicans elected. The Re-
publicans are pretty well divided as
between Senator William C. Sproul
and Highway Commissioner j. Denny
O'Neil. The Senator has many friends
in the county and will poll a hand
some vote, while O'Neil has strength
ened himself by his visits and hopes
for more support by judicious use of
appointments from the Capitol
some of which are due.
There is a chance that there may
be two ministers on the Republican
legislative ticket, as the Rev. T. j.
Ferguson, of Silver Spring, a former
member, and the Rev. A. P. Stover
of Carlisle, are favored. DIR. S. A
Kirkpatrick, of New Cumberland,
and Ray E. Holmes, of Enola, are
also talked of, while friends of the
sitting Democratic members, e. A.
81
Horace e. Barner, of near Shippens-
burg, are stirring about for them.
The usual Democratic fight is eX-
rected to result. James II. Millhouse,
of Camp HILL who was urged to run
for the Republican nomination for
the House and who would have been
supported by men of all parties in
November, has declined to run.
The Cumberland Democrats are
awaiting the word from National
Chairman Vance c. Mccormick, and
wondering why it does not come.
They do not take 1lSindly to a west
ern candidate. The Democrats are
taking quite an. sinterest in the Re-
publican contest and specializing on
the way the Republican leaders are
going to line up. They believe the
bulk of the Republican organization
will be found for Sproul

Sure Way TO Get
Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub it 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 find too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail-AdV.
