The question Of revenues is one that

Governor Sproul thinks the taxing

question will he one that will be given

HE added there should be some method
devised by which there will not be the

suggested that 2 state tax court might
accomplish this. At the present time ia \
cases are heard in the Dauphin County

there because the principles involved de-

Try This If You
Have Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fans 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, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of your
daTdruff 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 in
stantly. 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 sim
plefremedy has never been known to

BURLESON IN LOSS
Illinois Wins Over Him In Tele-
phone Rate Fight.
Injunction Made Permanent
Against Charge Increase.

Chicago. April 9.-The state of Illi-
nois won a victory over the federal
government here today when Superior
Judge Foell made permanent an in
junction granted last February re-
straining the American Telephone and
Telegraph company and Postmaster
General B -.Ieson from increasing tele-
phone rates in the state.
The decision is the first S.ven in a
number of suits in various states
where the increase rates were tested
in the courts. In making the injunc-
ton permanent, Judge Foell affirmed
the exclusive right of the state in
regulating telephone rates.
The temporary injunction was
granted on request of Attorney Cen
erai E. ]. Brundage of Illinois the day
before the new rates were to go into
effect all over the country.

GIVE TO SALVATION ARMY
Lyndon, Maple Hill, sBeloit and Au-
burn Want To Contribute.

Subscriptions of various kinds and
amounts are coming for the Salvation
Army home fund from various small
towns in all parts of the state. Today
contributions were received from citi-
zens of Lyndon, Maple Hills and Be-
lott, and an offer of one from Auburn.
The Auburn subscription is to be
made in the shape of a special MEM
oria1 for the Auburn boys who entered
the service of the United States in the
war A committee headed by John C
Madden, veteran of a long series OF
war drives, made an offer to the Sal
walton Army campaign committee to-
day to furnish one of the rooms in the
new home as a memorial to the Au-
burn men. In connection with this
offer. the committee has requested a
special meeting for Auburn with Ad-
jutant Houser and q few of the army
lassIes and a number of Topeka spell
binders as the honor guests. This
meeting will probably be held some
time next week-if the rains permit.
