Gettysburg Would Like to
Have Modern Union Station

Gettysburg, Pa, July %. - An
nouncement that the Western Union
Telegraph Company will abandon
the rooms occupied by them for
years at the Western Maryland
Railroad Building and will move
their quarters to another building
on the first of August has caused
some questioning as to what dispo-
sition is to be made of the old
Western Maryland Station. When
the government took hold of the
railroads during the war the two
stations in this place were merged
and q union station made of the
building belonging to the Philadel-
phia and Reading. Prior to this
there had been a little talk that the
two railroads were contemplating
such a move, to include the erection
of a modern union station. Now
that the one place is to be aban-
doned entirely the question is again
raised as to whether Gettysburg is
to be improved in its railroad IA
cilities to the extent that when the
railroads are turned back to their
private owners this much talked of
station will be erected.

How Old Are You
BY Your Hair?

You may be thirty in years, but If
you are bald-headed, gray, or your
hair is dry, brittle, scraggly and
ugly-looking, people will surely take
you to be many years older.
When your hair becomes faded,
dry, streaked and scraggly. when 1t
falls out badly and new hair can
not grow, the roots should be i'm
mediately vitalized and properly
nourished. To do this quickly, safe
ly and at little expense, there is
nothing so effective as Partisan sage
Qiquid form) which you can get at
Kennedy's Drug Store and all good
drug and toilet counters.
It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff
stop scalp itch and falling hair
and promote new growth or money
refunded. It's in great demand by
discriminating women because it
makes the hair so soft, lustrous, easy
to arrange attractively and appear
heavier than it l.ally is.
A massage with Partisan sage is a
real delight-easy to use, not sticky
or greasy. and delicately perfumed
an antiseptic liquid free from
dangerous ingredients and guaran-
teed not to color the hair or scalp.
IF you want good looking hair and
plenty of it h. all means use Pari-
sian saga little attention now in
sures beautiful hair for years to
come.

DISTRICT CHANGE
BELIEVED GOOD
York County Tobacconists
Discuss Revenue Office
Order

Meunt Wolf, July 23.-Much differ
ence of opinion exists among deal
ers and manufacturers OF tobacco
and cigars in York county as to the
effect upon their business which will
result from the abolishment of the
Ninth Internal Revenue District on
August 1. Many of those concerned
believe the merging OF the Ninth dis
trtct with that of the First, with
headquarters at Philadelphia, is q
step which will be beneficial to the
general trade. These men assert
that the passing of the Ninth" is
the best thing that could have hap
pened. They say that for years they
have sold their goods under Difficult
tiss incurred by the presence of the
stamps of the Ninth district upon
their commodity. as at one time the
Ninth district only manufactured the
cheapest grades OF cigars. Although
this is no longer true, the presence
of the stamp of the district upon
the goods brings doubt TO the buyer
as to their quality. When their pro-
duet bears the stamp OF the First
district. they say. their statesmen will
no longer meet with some OF the
troubles which they now experience.
AS il is now understood, the York
revenue office will continue in exist
ence. but will receive its stamps from
the Philadelphia office of the First
district, instead of the Ninth dis
trict's office. now at Lancaster.
