touch of indignation. He served no

Wolgast- -Ritchey Bout Is
Called OFF For Monday

Lancaster, Pa, Sept. "a. - The
Johnny Wolgast-Jule Ritchey fight,
as scheduled for the Frank Erne
club for Monday night, September
20, has been called off from the
Wolgast end. Wolgast made state
ment saying that he was willing and
anxious to fight Ritchey. but he pre-
ferred to meet the lillian before
the West End Club. He promised
to box julie before that organization
as soon as he was in physical trim
some time ago. He feels that it
would be a breach of faith to fight
Ritchey before the Erne club first.
Should the issue not be decided be-
fore the West End crowd, he will
willingly clout with julie at the Erne
club later on.
The original date, next Monday
night, was set back by Ritchie
claiming poor physical condition.
The new move should give both he
and Wolgast ample time to be fit
for the coming scrap.

There Is a time when music has

what induces q man to take up the

a grave question whether we have
not been overprogramed. Life may

pated' time, instead of the gentler

FamO Kills SebOrrhea
1t Stops the Dandruff Disease and Grouos Ne.u Hair

Science knows now that Seborrhea
causes falling hair and finally,
badness.
Seborrhea Is the bacillus of dan
druff.
Famo actually kills this germ that
kills the hair.
The formula of Famo came from
one of Detroit's largest Laboratories,
after two years of constant research.
It worked scores Of authenticated
cures of Seborrhea, before it was
even given a name.
If you have dandruff, you have
Seborrhea.
Famo eradicates the dandruff. It
penetrates the glands of the scalp
that feed the hair.
It grows hair by making and keep
ing the scalp and hair healthy.
Sebcrrhea is a disease as deadly
to hair as is Pyorrhca 10 the teeth
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-24

And unless you use Famo to kill
the Seborrhea germ, your hair is
making losing fight.
Everything about Famo is better.
Everything in it is helpful to the
hair-helpful toward a healthy
scalp, toward the growth of beauti-
fully glossy, luxuriant hair.
Famo contains not q trace of alco-
shol, which dries out the natural oil
of the hair.
Famo actually postpones the com
ing of gray hair by keeping the
scalp healthy.
Thousands of hair shops testify to
the extent of the scourge of Sebor-
rhca.
This appalling sacrifice can be
stopped tomorrow by Famo.
Try a bottle today. The first treat
ment will remove the dandruff.

And you will be amazed at the

Begin to use it regularly this very

FOND ~RECOLLECTIOMS

Former Governor Edward C. Stokes who is once more in the
height of his glory s chairman of the Republican State Committee,
pulled off his personally conducted" convention at Trenton Sat
urday and everything ran true to form, IN accordance with n IDEAS
and principles of an era in politics that has passed.
It was as if the former governor had made up his mind to have
one more good, old fashioned political gathering before he was re-
tired permanently and he seized the advantage OF being state char-
m q TO crafty his ambition. 1t must have made the former govern
mr. think of the old time Methodist camp meeting with which he Is
so familiar, but which has given way, in these modern ana progress
i've days, to the new order OF things.
And the former governor would have his little joke, too. AS he
mounted the rostrum amid the acclaim of the assembled multitude
He told the delegates that the gathering revived patriotic memories
of the old days when the people had a voice in the affairs and the
voters had a right to say what the platform should contain we
have taken too much power from the people and 1t Is time II was
restored, - he declared.
And how that little joke must have been enjoyed by those other
old timers present-those who remember well the all night session
at the Trenton House Immediately preceding the convention day,
when the late General Sewell or his successor, David Bard, or even
former Governor Stokes himself, having received their cue from the
Pennsylvania railroad, with which they were closely identified IN
those days, would pick out the candidates to be nominated and
write the platform to be adopted.
Yes, 'them was the days"
The only voice the people had in the affairs then was to
cheer for anything and everything that the bosses presented to the
assembled delegates, the majority of whom did not know what it
was all about, but they could cheer when the rest did, and so the
party ticket was made.
AS for having taken too much power from the people, why,
in those days the people didn't ever have the selection of the dele
gates to the convention, let alone have a part in the naming Of the
candidates and writing the platform.
Yes Saturdays convention brought back to mind those old
days and former Governor Stokes was made happy. 1t was kind
of the boys from all parts of the state to take a day off and give
the former governor this treat, and, from all accounts, they, too, en-
joyed ii.
Now, after this little excursion back into the past it is to be
hoped that the Grand Old Party, as it used to be called, will arise
from its lethargy, shake off its old traditions and come up abreast
with the spirit of the times, for the world edo move, and politics
moves with it. One day for such reveries is about all that can be
spared during critical times lie Sese.

Public Opinion
THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF
SANDER

6LANDEfS
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
There are but few people who arc
competent to testify as to the cause
and effect OF SANDER. That Is at cas-
the experience among some Of the
legal profession.
1t has been said centuries ago that
IL a man loves peace. he must not be
inquisitive, and listen to ta~le-bearers.
Many things innocent in themselves,
are made injurious by misconstruc-
ton. 1t Is good caution not to believe
anything until we are very certain of
it. 'for many probable things prove
false and a short time will make evil
dence Of the undoubted truth"
The most cowardly thing of all Is
to condemn a friend unheard or
without letting him know his a~ccuser,
or his crime. It is a common thing
for a slandered to say do not say 1
told you so, il o do. I will deny it,
and never tell you anything again."
BY means of which a false accuser
escapes his just punishment. Let us
not be too credulous. Some people
tell us stories to deceive and injure;
others tell us what they hear without
disclosing the fountain from which
it came. Hence, some OF the dearest
of friends have been separated.
There is no person living who has
not the Ill will of somebody. The
truth is that every person has a fall
ing and tina to sift out the bad points
without considering the good ones is
enough ia defame the character OF
the best of people. We all ~transgress.
but we do not all do 1t in the same
way. That which we blame In others
is often found in ourselves. There
is no man so fierce against calumny as
an evil speaker. We carry u neigh
bors crime in sight. and we throw our
own over our shoulders"
