The council, the chief governing
body Of the League, cannot. take
action without unanimous decision Of
It's members and since the United
States will have representative in
the Council our interest will be pro-
tected there. We hear 1t said that the
League is formed for the benefit Of
Great Britain or Japan or some other
one nation. This is not true. All the
nations will gain by it. not only the
great nations such as the United
States, Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy, but the little nations which
in the past have been oppressed by
their big neighbors. The international
court will give an opportunity for the
settlement Of old grievances which
have long troubled the peoples Of the
world
It has been said that the League
will interfere with the Monroe Doc
trine, but the League Covenant ex-
pressly protects this Doctrine. In fact,
through the Covenant the Monroe Doc
trine receives recognition throughout
the world and its principles become
forever established.

CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL
AND CASTOR OIL
Give Fruit Laxative when cross,
bilious, feverish or
constipated
California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels

Look back at your childhood days
Remember the dose" mother insist
ed on-castor oil. calomel, cathar-
tics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what
they do. The children's revolt is
well-founded. Their tender little
"insides" are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only de-
licious California Syrup of Figs"
It's action is positive, but gentle.
Millions of mothers keep this harm
less fruit laxative" handy; they
know children love to take it; that
it never fails to clean the liver and
bowels and sweeten the stomach, and
that teaspoonful given today saves
a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See
that it is made by California Fig
Syrup Company" Refuse any other
kind with contempt.

How to Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandruff

If you have dandruff you must get
rid of it quick-it's positively dan
gerous and will surely ruin your hair
IL you don't.
Dandruffy heads mean faded, brit
tie, scraggly hair that finally dies
and falls out-new hair will not
grow-then you are hairless and
nothing can help you.
The only sure way to abolish dan
druff for good is to destroy the germ
that causes it. To do this quickly,
surely and safely, and at little ex-
pense, there is nothing so effective as
Partisan sage, which you can get
from Kennedy's Drug Store and good
druggists everywhere. 1t is guaran-
teed to Danish dandruff, stop itching
scalp and falling hair, and promote
q new growth, or the cost, small as It
is, will be refunded.
Partisan sage is q scientific prep
aration that supplies all hair needs
an antiseptic liquid neither sticky or
greasy, easy to apply. and delicately
perfumed.
If you want beautiful soft, thick,
lustrous hair, and lots of it by all
means use Partisan sage. Don't de-
lay-begin tonight-a little attention
now insures abundant hair for years
to come.-Adv.

Red Cross to Combat New
Disease Among Members

The members of the local chapter
Of Red Cross who attended the meet
ing in Philadelphia last week have
returned with full directions to COM
bat new disease that seems to be
spreading among members at large.
The state officers describe the d.
sease as follows:
The disease is known as M

Is a sense of lassitude-a feeling OF
whats the use?" It's all over.
Why should I work?" The epi-
demic is not widespread: but an et-
fort must be made to stem 1t In ad.
vance. Gold feet" Is a marked
symptom. Another indication or the
presence of the disease is forgettul-
ness-that some of our boys are stiil
over there. The victim of the d.
sease generally Is unable to con-
centrate the mind on knitting. ana
the sight becomes impaired, so that
she can't sew. The ears too become
affected, so that they cannot hear the
appeals of hundreds of thousands or
refugees who must be clothed, fed
and housed. Heart fails to beat as
it used to, and in the advanced
stages of the disease it turns to stone.
To combat the disease vaccine is
recommended of equal parts or u

and a peck of "pep." The disease
has not reached Steelton.

BURN HOUSES FOR FUEL
By Associated Press

Warsaw, Feb. 25.-Forty bounds
of wheat -four is being sold at Mos
cow for 500 rubles and sugar is SO
rubles a pound, with both commodi-
ties virtually unobtainable. Starv-
ing horses which fall in the streets
are stripped of their flesh before
they are cold. Money is of little
value and pearls, diamonds, Jewels,
fine bronze clocks and paintings
bring little when traded. Thefts in
these lines are, therefore, frequent.
In order to get food, q trader must
offer clothes. Women refugees from
Moscow were recently held up at
Smolensk. it is said, and their cloth
ing was stolen, but the soldiers dis
dained to take a beautiful pearl
necklace, so that its owner was able
to sell the necklace here.
Intense cold prevails in Moscow
and fuel is so scarce that wooden
houses in the suburbs of the city
have been torn down for fuel. Fine
furniture has also been used for the
same purpose. Stores have been
closed by merchants by the Soviet
government has taken over some of
the larger places of business where
only Bolsheviki are served. Flower
shops and hairdressers do a good
business, about thirty of these places
being open. Leon Trotzky, the Boil
shevik minister of war and marine.
who is fastidious about his personal
appearance and has a special girl
manicurer, patronizes them.
Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevils
premier, who is considered ouite
mad by some of his colleagues. is
the only prominent Bolshevik left
who appears to live an austere life.
1t is related that his automobile pot
stalled in a snow drift and at this
moment footpads appeared and ap-
propriated the drivers fur coat.
They also demanded Lenine's, but he
explained: 81 am Lenine," but the
thieves restorted: ''That is all right
We know you don't object. so long
as we are comrades" and then they
made off.
Russia is beset by all kinds OF
diseases. typhus being particularly
prevalent. Vodka substitutes are be.
ing used and have a weakening eff

Kerosene and benzine are report
ed to be common drinks. The first
thing that marauding soldiers on the
Polls frontier demand is liquor. They
appear never to be sober. The large
number of deaths in Moscow has
led to a decree making the under
taking business q state monopoly.

BILLS AREPASSED

Stops Business

Bills providing for payment of
liquor licenses on the monthly in
stallment plan were passed finally in
the. House to-day as they passed the
Senate after criticism by Mr.. VIII
liams, Tioga- who contended that
they were discriminatory because
they made no provision for licensees
who had already received their Ii
censes and paid the whole sum for a
year. Mr.. Williams. who is dry
leader. said that the bills should be
amended to care for every license
holder instead of only those to be IL
censed after the bills become laws.

to 2S and on the whole bill III to
IS.
