OLD oentlsmsn Was Able to Enumersts
Few Advantages Il Possessed
over the City.

The married daughter and her
family had come from their home in
the city back to her fathers farm for
a visit. After supper one evening
she began to try to persuade father
TO move to the city so that mother in
her old age would not have to work
so hard, Il don't have any lamps to
clean or any wood TO carry or any
water to carry a quarter Of mile"
boasted the daughter. "When |
want a light, all have to do is to

want heat just pull chain"
yes" agreed her father, "and
when we want meat all We have TO do
is to whistle up chicken, when we
want roasting ears or potatoes we
just walk to our garden, but when
you want good square meal you
have to ride 80 miles out into the
country TO get il. So for all parties
concerned guess we'd better stay in

Beginning last Friday, Canad-

this action is to stop speculation in

returning to this side could pass

NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Double it's
beauty in just a few
moments.
"Danderine" makes your hair
thick, glossy, wavy and
beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an APP
plication of Danderne you cannot
find u single trace of dandrum OIL
falling hair and your scalp will not
itch, but what will please you most
will be after a few weeks use, when
you see new hair, fine and downy at
growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. 1t goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ems them. Its eXhilarating, stimu-
lating and life-producing properties
cause the hair to grow long, strong
and beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just molsten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw IL
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is
amazing-your hair will be light
fluffy and wavy, and have an APP
pearance of abundance; an incom
parable luster, softness and luxuri-
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that il has been neg
lected or injured by careless treat
ment-that'S ail-you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
you will just try n little Danderine

In the Realm of Nature
MESSAGE FROM THE REMOTE PAST
Harrisburg Natural Society

Several weeks ago there appeared Il
statement in our local papers that the
imprint of a shell in a rock was dis
covered on the Little Mountain short
distance below Marysville and that one
of our local geologists declared that
perhaps 5O,OOO.OO0 years ago the little
creature that inhabited this shell was
leading it's joyous life in the ancient
sea that possessed this part of the
earth. While the writer admits that
this little crature may have lived so
long ago, many authorities will place
the time at half that number of years.
Even in these days of stupendous war
figures it is a very long cry back to
the days when this part of the world
was a great sea teeming with life and
when the rocks that compose our beau
tiful mountains and charming valleys
were simply sands, pebbles and muds
in this body of water.
During the Paleozoic era n seashore
extended where now the Blue South
Mountains rise. Westward was an in
terror sea. Where now we find the
Cumberland and Lebanon Valleys and
the mountains of Central Pennsylvania
were the waters of this sea. Into this
body of water We're laid down sedi-
ments layer upon layer, consisting Of
gravel, sand. clay. together with lime
and other substances. These materials
We're brought to the sea by rivers. or
We're taken from the shores by the ac-
tion of the waves and carried out to sea
