SOAP IS BAD
FOR THE HAIR
Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all. if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes tlie hair brittle,
and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsilied cocoanut
oil (which is pure and greaseless),
is cheaper and better than soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it In. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsilied cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.

work along scientific and classical
lines, but also furnishes facilities for
technical instruction. Woodworking,
drafting, electrical and iron working
courses are prepared for boys, and
domestic science and kindred branch
es for the girls.
The building, while built by the
town, is following lines laid out in the
will of the late Charles L. .Lamberton,

HUNTINGDON HAS
POST OFFICE ROW
Lesher's Ambitions Appear to Be
Bitterly Opposed Among the
County Seat's Folks
Huntingdon, Pa.. Jan. 11.—The sub
ject now uppermost In the minds of
the citizens of Huntingdon is the ap
pointment of a postmaster to succeed
Howard E. Butz, Republican, whose
term will expire February 5. Several
candidates are in the .field and the
town has been well canvassed for en
dorsements oy petition and letter.
The candidate most bitterly opposed
Is Joseph G. Lesher. acting chairman
of the Democratic county committee.
Lesher claims that he was elected
chairman at a meeting of the county
committee a few months ago, but this
Is disputed Tsy his predecessor, J. Mur
ray Africa, who insists that he. and
not Lesher, received a majority of the
legal votes cast in convention and that
he was therefore elected county chair
man. Notice of contest was served on
Lesher by Africa soon after the con
vention, but no action has yet been
taken by the State committee in the
matter.
When Lesher announced his candi
dacy for the post mastership he said
he would have the endorsement ot
Congressman Frank L. Dershem, of
this district. But the congressman
has repeatedly declared he has not yet
ondorsed any candidate for the ap
pointment, although he expected to do
so soon. He will act this week, it is
believed. The opposition to is
pronounced. Among other things, It Is
urged that he has no Just claims upon
the appointment, as he has been a
resident of the town only a short time,
having moved hero recentlyfrom Sny
der county. It is charged, also, that
in becoming a candidate for post
master Lesher is acting in bad faith.
Democratic leaders in Huntingdon and
Huntingdon county, especially those
who have been actively identified with
the movement of the "reorganized"
Democracy, are openly opposed to
Lesher and doing all they can to pre
vent his appointment.
Among other persons named as can
didates for the postmastership, real
and supposed, are John C, Dtinkle,
Peter Oerlach. G. W.Miller, D. F.
Mobus, W. S. Herncane and John C.
Gillam. Some of these have circulated
petitions: others have not.

OFFICIAL TRADE MIRK
Harrisburg Trademark Issued By
Chamber of Commerce.
Harrisburg. Pa.
THE HEARToAJ^y/pisTßißUTiow
mm— Baaaa
"Harrisburg, the Heart of Distri
bution," will be called to the attention
of every one receiving correspondence
from Harrisburg business houses
through the use of a trademark design
being fuurnished to members and
printing houses by the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce.
Electros of this trademark can be
had on application at the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce in the Kunkel
building. Following a meeting of the
executive committee at the Harrisburg
Club this statement was made:
"That Harrisburg can rightfully
claim to be 'The Heart of Distribution'
is shown by h statement received by
Secretary E. L. McColgin from Wil
liam J. Harris, Director of the Cen
sus. Washington, which states that a
special estimate made after measuring
the districts taken in by six different
circles gave the following result as of
April 13. 1910:
Radius,

50 981.000
100 6,294,000
200 20,100,000
300 27,584,000
400 36,80ti,000
500 43,592,000
"Harrisburg reaches the above pop
ulation by direct freight and passenger
service.
"The Chamber of Commerce desires
to have every business man in Harris'-
burs print the trademark shown on
his letterheads, envelopes, advertising
matter, labels, etc. They advise that
it will cost nothing extra and it will
show to the world that local people
realize to the utmost the distinctive
advantages of the city for business. It!
will perhaps induce interests who
could transfer business here when
serving the population mentioned
above to get in touch with the Cham
ber of Commerce.
"The. Chamber, therefore, requests
that when printing is ordered arrange
ments be made to include the design.
On a letterhead it can be placed where
the date line comes: on an envelope

DIXON DISCUSSES
CARE OF THE SKIN
Commissioner Makes Some Very
Plain Statements in Talking
About Our Cuticle
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon. State Com
missioner of Health, calls attention to
the necessity for taking good care of
the skin during the winter months
as well as in other times. The com
missioner discusses the skin in one of
his weekly health talks says in
part:
"Few people pay sufficient attention
to the care of tlio skin. A certain
number of both sexes devote no little
time to the care of that portion which
appears above their collars, but few
understand the real importance of the
functions of the skin.
"We breathe through the skin. A
considerable volume of oxygen Is ab
sorbed by the body through the pores
of the skin. These poisons are elimi
nated through the glands of the skin,
passing off in perspiration.
"The skin is one of the body's ther
mostats that automatically regulate its
temperature. If the heat grows exces
i clve the blood vessels in the skin dilate
| and permit the circulation of an
extraordinary amount of blood near
the surface. This permits the radiation
of the heat from the blood and the
corresponding cooling of the body and
stimulates a more active combustion.
"When the body is exposed to cold.
If the skin Is properly performing its
functions it will contract and drive the
blood away from the skin to concen
trate Its warmth near the vital organs.
"The ends of the nerves which give
|UB our sense of touch are located in
the skin. In order that these various
functions may be properly carried out
it is essential that the skin be well
cared for at all times. If the pores
are not kept thoroughly clean the poi
sonous excretions instead of being ex
pelled are reabsorbed by the blood.
Such a condition also prevents tlie
skin from absorbing oxygen, as It
should do when properly performing
its functions. Then, too, there ia the
