No Trouble to Rid
Tub Skin of Hairs
(Style's Dictum.) I
Science is greatly interested in a pow- |
ricr known to druggists as dclatone, the
discovery of which is due to Professor von j
K,ih!dcn. When a little is mixed with
water to form a paste and applied tu the
hairy surface for two or three minutes,
then rubbed off, you will find the hairs
arc gone. This way of ridding the skin's
surface of superfluous growths is fast
gaining popularity because of the absence
of pain.
Dclatone is especially valuable because
of its antiseptic qualities and for the rea?
son that rarely is the second application
necessary... While dclatone costs u dollar
an ounce, it is worth ve al times its i ost
lo rid the skin of objectionable hairs.

Terrible Plight of a Pennsylvania Man
Reported by a Prominent Citizen:
j ' About two years ago my hair, beard
and mustache started to como out in
spots. These spots were entirely bare of
hair.
Seeing PARISIAN SAGE advertised,
I purchased four bottles, and after using
, two of the bottles, the hair came in until
; now I have as good a head of hair as I
had before this trouble started.
1 can truthfully recommend this prcp
, station to any one for what it is recom?
mended for. Sam Galder, Jamison City,
Col. Co., Pa. Oct. 11, 1911."
Please bear in mind that PARISIAN
SAGE is not guaranteed to grow hair on
bald heads.
In Mr. Galdrr's case the hair root was
not dead, and there is no good reason
why PARISIAN SAGE should not do
just what he writes it did.
"The next time Mr Galder came into
my store after purchasing the PARISIAN
SAGE," writes the druggist who sold
him, "his appearance was so changed I
did not know him."
PARISIAN' SAGE is without doubt
the most efficient hair grower, bcautifler
and dandruff cure in the world, and peo?
ple who arc wasting time with ordinary
commercial tonics should wake up.
PARISIAN SAGE will banish dan?
druff, stop I dling hair und itching scalp;
will put lifcj lustre and beauty into failed
hair, or money back. It is a most de?
lightful and refreshing tonic for men,
women and children. Large bottle 50
cents at Tragic Drug Co.'s and druggists
the country over.
briefly. Mr. Bunks urged Its passage
at once. In view of the fact that a bill
must be offered to Bubmit the propo?
sition to the people. On a roll call,
the amendment was egreed to by a
unanimous vote.
Full* to Discharge Committee.
Mr. Monoure moved to discharge the
Committee on Roads and Internal
Navigation from further consideration
of Mm bill to require a full train crow,
with additional brakomon on longer j
trains. .Mr. Spo&sard thought this a ?
matter for th0 cointnlttoe. Mr. Ohulk
ley said the committee had passed the
bMl by Indefinitely. The motion was j
lost.
The House agreed to the Senat* |
Joint resolution requesting the Gov
errior to appoint three delegates to at?
tend Ute meeting to be 'held in liar- j
rlsburg, Pa., February HO and 21. to

nut blight.
On a question of personal privilege,
Captain .lohn a. Curtis said he wished
his constituents and the House to
know that he was not a party to any
agreement fixing a time for discussion
of the Jordan prohibition enabling act. :
The Attorney-General reported that
the proposition to Issue ehort term I

ALL OWUeJGISTS
LEGISLATIVE COMMEN T
By LEWIS H. MACHEN
THE PANAMA EXHIBITION.
I The conciso and forolblo addroos or
; ex-Govornor GlUotto to tho two houses
i of the Loglulaturo ln:it evening may
bear fruit In an np;iroprlntlon for a
Virginia exhibit ut the Panama Ex?
position in San Francisco in 19 16. Vet.'
among the Qnunolera in the General
Assembly tho matter Is hot buing taken
very seriously. The demands now j
being mado upon the Slate Treasury,
and its somewhat depleted condition,
make it unlikely that any considerable
appropriation will bu made for the .
exposition at this session.
A bill Is pending in toe House, of I
Delegates which proposes an appro?
priation of $76,000 for that object. It
is not believed that over u third of
that amount will bo oonsldored neces?
sary, and a part of thut may bo ap?
propriated at this session and tho re?
mainder at tho sosslMt of 1914. It is
barely posslblo that this Legislature
may leave tho whole matter to be J
dealt with by tho next. i
It would be bettor, no doubt, if tho
State is to have an exhibit at the
exposition at nil, that tills Legislature
Should glvo Its sanction to thy protect
and supply a sutllclent fund to make
all necessary preliminary arrange?
ments, it is due to California that all
of the States Ir.tcndiiu; to exhibit at
San Francisco should lei it be known
at once. Virginia's example would be
a potent stimulus to othsr States, and
it would gratify the pride of most of
our citizens to know that our Btato
would be worthily represented ot tho
exposition.
When Virginia was holding- Its expo?
sition at Jamestown, California sent
an exhibit tit an expense which Is said
to have amounted to $25,000. In ml
fairness, it would seem that Virginia
could do no less for tho California ex?
position.
The exhibit that Virginia had at
Jamestown was a most valuable and
attractive one. It has been kept prac?
tically intact and been added to, until
it is estimated to be worth morrj 'ban
J100.000. Virginia, therefore. Is hotter
prepared to make a finer shoving at
San Francisco at a amallor expense
thsn nearly any other State. Of ..ourso.
tho transportation, care and manaijo
nient of tho exhibit will cost unite a
neat penny, but there can be no doubt
thnt It would bo worth the expendi?
ture In advertising vnluo alone.
For BOmo years therms has been a i
noticeable "back East" movement
among Western people seeking Invest- .
menl In agricultural lands. There is
R sentimental attachment In tho Wist
tp Virginia, and a tlrst-class exhibit
at the Panama Exposition would have;
a good effect In directing the atten?
tion of prospective farm buyers lo nur.
great and only partially developed re?
sources.
THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
I vanr people not members ot the
I Finance Committee <>t one ot. ths ?
j branches ot tue Legislature have any I
cleat1 idea ot the. amount of difficulty j
Involved in distributing approximately
I {13,000.000 of the State's revenue |
1 which accrues during the two years |
; that elapse from one aieutln^ of tho
I Legislature to another. A mere list!
of tho items of appropriation will cover I
nearly fifty printed folio pages. A list j
, of the Items demanded Would prob
I ably extend over twlco thai amount of
space, and would ?g?r:'s;:l4 an alto?
gether Impossible sum.
The whole problem Is to cut the gor
ment but of the available cioth, and
It Is a diniculi. und not always a j
thankful, one for those whose busl- 1
. tiees it Is to do |t, For many nights I
! past ((subcommittee of ten from tho
membership of the Senate end tho!
House have 'been wrestling with this i
problem. The full committees of .
twenty-seven member* will revise tho
tentative bille, and tho Senate und j
I House will then endeavor to amend tho
\ work. The Ideas of the two houses
' arc sure to differ, and these differ?
ences must be udjustcd by a conference
committee, whose work will not bo
completed until the closing days of the
session. When the appropriation bill
is passed the real work of the Legis- i
ifcture la practically at an end.
The Finance Commit tee- endeavor I
to glva n full hearing to all the m
I :orests affected, and a pretty ledloua
I tlino they hnvo of It. The financial
i needs of all of the State's Institutions
I are set forth with great vigor by
I their representatives, and In some
! cases a much larger amount is asked
for than there Is any hopo of getting.
> Tho trimming and paring process must
bo done by the committees In a way
' which seems rather cruel to the parties
Interested. Ttiesc operations often
j cause loud cries of anguish, which are
echoed on tho floors of the two houses
i v. hon the bills aro reported Number?
less assaults arc made upon the con- i
elusions of the committees while the
bills aro under discussion. The mem?
bers of the committees must defend
.heir action, and. In the main, their'
views prevail, though a few conces?
sions lire occasionally found to be
necessary, which the committees may
even make allowances for in advance. \
Tho appropriate bills come Into tho
two houses at their busiest tlino. when
many pet measures arc about t<> he
reached on the calendars. These, c,f
course, must wait, and for two or three
previous days the battle rages over the
multitudinous provisions of these king
bills. It is not likely that they will
be reported this session until about the
first of March, and then the pot will
boll furiously until at '.east some pro?
vision is made for the hungriest.
