or chin, will be Interested In the follow
ing formula which has the advantage
of being simple and inexpensive, as
well as marvelously effective. It is not
claimed that one application will per
manently destroy the hair roots, but it
is claimed, and the claims are borne
out by actual tests, that one applica
tion completely removes the hair. If

ask G. A. Gorgtȣ, Harrisburg, Pa., or
any other leading-druggist to mix 4Vj

with 2% drams Zinc Oxide, and 1 dram
of Powdered Orris Root, and put In a

Middle Division Freight
Traffic Shows Increase
Freight traffic over the Middle divi
sion during January showed an aver
age daily increase of 130 cars. The

Lowest in Many Years
Officials of both the Pennsylvania

mistic and hopeful sentiments as to the
I future movements, admit their dis
appointment over the failure of the re
sumption and extension of industries to
be reflected in the earnings of their re
spective companies. The earning state
ments of both companies for Decem

First Sales of Wheat in
Chicago Touch $1.60 1-2
By Associated Press
Chicago, Feb. 2. —Wheat raced up
ward In price to-day, first sales show
ing a jump of as much as 3 % a bushel.
The May delivery touched $1.60%.
Extraordinary rises in quotations at
Liverpool excited wheat traders hero.
C. H. Canby, president of the Chicago
Board of Trade, said the Liverpool
prices were probably due to an ad
vance in war risk insurance and to
fear that submarine attacks would
hinder the arrival of British supplies
and make shipments from other coun
tries to Great Britain more difficult.

OBJECTIONS TO RUM
GROWING STRONGER
Nearly One-fourth of Daily News
papers of United States Exclude
Liquor Ads
Among the five hundred and twenty
daily newspapers in the United States
which will not accept any whisky, beer
or other alcoholic liquor advertise
ments are twenty-seven Pennsylvania
newspapers, two of which are pub
lished in Harrisburg, one being the
Harrisburg Telegraph.
These figures were compiled by the
Research Department of the Methodist
Episcopal Church with national head
quarters in Topeka, Kan. More than
2,000 papers were asked to give their
stand. Of these 679 replied. Only
179 will accept liquor advertising of
any kind and a large number of these
will accept only beer advertisements.
Three hundred and sixty papers are
editorial advocates of national pro
hibition, while 200 oppose. Three hun
dred and sixty favor state prohibition,
with 193 opposing. Local option is
favored by 397, with only 170 in op
position.
"A very large number of newspa
pers," continues the report, "declare
their editorial columns are neutral on
the liquor question, while a surprising
number of papers which accept liquor
advertising assert they are in favor of
national prohibition. The growing
tendency to bar liquor ads Is also
made apparent by the announcement
of many that they have recently adopt
ed that policy. The case of the In
diana Times, of Indianapolis, which
took this stand January 1, Is typical.
Some lHm't Appreciate Stand
"In answer to the question, 'Do you
editorially favor national prohibition?'
a great New York newspaper sig
nificantly says, 'We have not as yet.'
and another large paper which accepts |
whisky advertising declares 'We have
never taken a definite stand, but ex
pect in a few weeks 'to .come out for
state and national prohibition.' Quite
a number say their policy in regard to
liquor advertising Is not sufficiently ap
preciated by church people. Others
are waiting for public opinion to swing
in favor of prohibition."
"A number of papers declare tliey
are not taking on new liquor adver
tising, but are lining old contracts.
Many say, 'We do not solicit liquor ad*
vertising, but if the copy is not objec
tionable we accept it.'
Editors Favor Educational Work
"A number of papers call attention
to the fact that their columns aro
open to the temperance people, al
though editorially they are neutral. A
great many editors seized the occasion
to point out that only education can
bring about a state of mind which will
make national prohibition effective,
and they declare that sufficient edu
cational work has not yet been done."
"Some take advertising of whisky
only when they consider it medicinal;
others point to the fact that thev bar
even patent medicines with a large
proportion of alcohol. Others ask
double rates for liquor ads."
WHEN YOU WASH YOUR'
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much akall, which }
is very injurious, as it dries the >
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsitled cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaselesa. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store and a
few ounces will last the whole fam
ily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It'
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
It loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
