How to Be Rid of Disgusting Dandruff ; The only way to be permanently rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to correct its cause. Shampooing merely cleanses the scalp for a few days, then the scales form again as : thick as ever. To destroy the dandruff germ and get rid of dandruff for good, part the hair and apply a little of the genuine Parisian Sage directly on the bare scalp, and rub it in with the finger tips for a few minutes until absorb ed by the scalp. You will surely be amazed at the result of even one ap plication. for your hair and scalp will look and feel 100 per cent, better. Only a few days' massage with Parisian Sage are needed to destroy the germs that cause the dandruff to form. The scalp becomes healthy, the hair will grow better and show more life and vitality, and you need never be troubled by dandruff again. Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly restored to beauty by this simple process, which is absolutely harm less. and will not stain the hair or make it greasy. Parisian Sage can be obtained from H. C. Kennedy and druggists every ; where. It is not expensive. : ' j!: : Vv' i Oi*v ury J Cleaning !

Methodist church in his sermon on "How a Great Man Lost His Soul." His sermon was one of the best he has preached since the opening of the i evangelistic campaign in Stevens! church, and despite the inclement! weather a large crowd attended the, midweek service. The evangelist gave a short account of King Saul, then comparing the lives of people of ; the present day with that of the great I ruler. He told the big audience that ! "the devil plays no favorites, has no scruples, and can be found behind I thrones, pulpits and in church pews, 1 as well as in gambling dens and in ! the streets."

High School Conditions i Worse Here Than in Any City Visited by Downes J Conditions in the Central High! school here are worse than in similar i schools in any other city visited by j ♦he special high school committee, ac- j cording to Dr. F. E. Downes, city j superintendent of schools, who has just returned from an eight-day trip j inspecting Junior high schools with I D. D. Ilammelbaugh, Harry A. Boyer I and A. Carson Stamm. President Stamm will probably give : a summary of the inspection trip to- j morrow at the meeting of the board, and a complete report will be pre sented later so that work can be start- < ed at once to improce high school conditions. Dr. Downes said to-day that Harris- | burg is far behind in the time devoted to special activities in the schools. ' such as vocational work, evening ! schools, manual and physical train- 1 ing. With the passage of the high j school loan last month, this need in the school system can be supplied, however, and the school board will ' act at once on the report of the com- i rnittee.
