WEST SHORE
Juniata Service Company
Explains Lighting Failure

Marysvillc, Pa, March 20. - In
answer to alleged poor lighting SER
vice in Marysville, the Juniata Pub
lie Service Company, of Newport,
which furnishes current to the bor-
ough, declares the incidents cited
are isolated cases.
At the times mentioned, officials
say when the clock which controls
the Marysville current. was wound,
small shaft became reversed and
the mechanism disorganized. Work
men were at once detailed to make
the necessary repairs, but this re-
quired considerable time and the
mishap occurred late in the day, so
the Marysville subway was without
light that night. The officials add
that one man is detailed to replace
broken or burned out lights through
out the town and this is done as soon
as the matter is reported by coun-
ell or the street commissioner.

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it, This des-
troys it entirely. To do this. just
get about four ounces of plain. Or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to mois-
ten 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
completely 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 hundred
times better.
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.

Navigation Co., Lansford, and in a
number of Western Pennsylvania
cases.
Last Word Given.-Members OF
local draft boards have been warned
that records of boards which nave
not completed all lists of registrants
called for must remain forever un-
finished as they have gone to WASH
ingtcn. Boards have also been IN
formed that the business VIII De
finally closed at all offices on March
81 and that no vacations can be
allowed before that time.
Order RcfuScd.-The Public SerN-
ice Commission has refused to issue
an order restraining the Bessemer
and Lake Erie railroad from re-
moving wires of the West Penn
Power company where they cross
the tracks of the railroad in West
Deer township, Allegheny county.
The commission in its statement
says that it does not pass upon the
necessity or propriety of the con-
struction of the crossing and that
the power company has not made
formal application as required py
law. II suggests that the crossing
which has been constructed be al
lowed TO remain so that consumers
will not be inconvenienced and that
formal application be submitted.
Inspections Start.-The first in
spection of charitable institutions
not under State control which are
asking for appropriations were
started to-day by four sub-commit-
tees from the House committee on
appropriations. One group went TO
Chester and vincinity, another to
Beaver, New Brighton and that sec
ton. a third to Bloomsbury, Sha-
mokin, Sunbury and other places
and the fourth to Williamsport. The
general appropriation committee
will continue inspections next week
and take up the general appropria-
ton bill next month.
After the Wart.- State Depart
, ment of Agriculture agents have
been sent to the Freeland district to
work with the agents of the United
States Government and State Col
lege in the fight against the potato
wart. They will organize the work
of following up the quarantine es-
tablished.
Mcclure Decision Issucd.-In a
decision by the late Public Service
Commissioner Harold NJ. Mcclure
and since his death adopted by the
Commission and issued to-day the
demurrer of the New Street Bridge
company, of Bethlehem, in the COM
plant filed against ii by the Lehlgh
Valley Transit company, is over-ruled
the case ordered for hearing. The
proceeding grows out of the fixing
of a higher rate by the bridge
company, which the traction COM
pany claims is unreasonable. The
decision holds that the parties to
the contract are public service cor
porations and that the contract
comes under the supervising power
of the State delegated to the COM
mission.

Buy Coal Before May

1t is part OF the Kelley service
to keep customers informed as
to the condition of the coal
market.
From our analysis of coal
conditions, lower prices are
hardly possible until the wages
paid mine workers are lowered
and the present wage-scale is
certain to be maintained indefn-
itely.
In Our judgment, it will be
the part of wisdom for the con-
sumers to lay in next winters
supply before the 1st of Nav,
1or prices will undoubtedly be-
gin to gradually advance and
continue their ascent monthly
until Fall, when coal prices will
average Soc a ton higher.

Not a Pardon From

The State Board of Pardons did
not recommend one pardon of the
list of applications presented to it
at the March meeting held here yes
terday. This is the first time on
record that no pardons have been
favored. Only two cases on the list
were held under advisement for de-
termination at the April meeting.
Five cases were continued without
argument at request of attorneys.
All petitions for rehearings were re-
fused and all of the cases on the
held over list ordered held over
again.
Members of the Board stated that
there was no special significance in
the refusals, but that the pleas were
rejected because they were cases
without merit.

It is strange how long people will try to
endure tender. burning. aching or perspir.

ure. Any good druggist or foot doctor will
tell you that these troubles can be easily

ton penetrates the pores and corrects the
cause. A package of the genuine Cal-o-cide

will be worth many dollars in foot comfort
Each package contains powerful little plas-

CHTNRS MOST HOLY TEMPLE
Enclosure Within Which 10 Altar OF
Heaven for Centuries conseerat-
ed to Use Of Emperor.

The TempIe Of Heaven In Pekin Is
Chinese temple without idols, temple
sacred to the use OF Chinese emperors ;
and finally. a temple chat is not one
building. but a park several miles In
area, with wonderful pagOdas and
affairs scattered among its groves.
The Temple Of Heaven has been for
centuries as IL Is now. There Is RED
tiled wall incIosing a grove. and within.
a yellow tiled wall inclOsing another
grove, with blue-roOfed temples In I'M
expected places. In the most secluded
spot is the Altar Of Heaven, the tenn
pies holy of HOLES.
The Altar of Heaven Is a series OF
broad terraces and steps OF white mar
BILE. leading TO a circular platform OF
marble. On this elevated platform, IN
der the open sky. the emperOrs Of the
old Chinese empire knelt twice a year
TO offer sacrifices TO the spirit OF
heaven. On lower steps Of the altar
knelt the cOurtierS. while the emperor
went through traditional rites and Of
leTtu IIuNtI~ ANU i'ii~ VI N'@bS ''i''
This Altar Of Heaven Is said by the
Chinese 10 he the center Of the earth.
In proof of this the SiGhtSeer Is today
allowed Ia stand on the top Of the
altar. the place 81 long reserved for
empcrorS only. and tap the marble so
that he may note the hOllOwneSs OF the
earth below.
Since the last living representative
Of the dragon prayed for prosperity at
the Altar Of Heaven. the temple has
become neglected and moss grown. A
president Of China offered 10 sacrifice
for the people at the emperor's altar,
but the spirit Of old China was strong
er than he calculated. The Altar OF
Heaven Is still uRtended.
