COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
driea the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
common mulsifled cocoanut oil
(which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than soap or
anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out eas
ily. and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly «nd
evenly, and it leaves It fin*- and
silky, bright, lustrous, MufTy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut
oil (1- must be mulsifled, plain co
coanut oil will not do) at most any
drug store. It is very cheap, and a
f«w ounces is enogh to last every
one In the family for months.

MAJOR BENT, FORMER i
STEEL HEAD, IS DEAD
[C<)ptinue<l from First Page.] j
and took took an active part in the'
affairs of the old Harrisburg Light,
Heat and Power Company. He was
also a heavy stockholder in the subsi-|
diaries of the Harrisburg Railways I
Company, and a director In the Steel->
ton National Bank and the Steelton j
Trust Company.
Mr. Bent was a member of the First;
Unitarian Church of Philadelphia. In
Philadelphia club life he was a promi
nent figure, being connected with the
Philadelphia. Art, Engineers. Corinth
ian Yacht, Merion C>»cket and the Au
tomobile clubs of that city.
The Major was also an active mem
ber of the Loyal Legion of Philadel
phia.
Surviving Major Bent are his widow,
who was Miss Mary Stern Felton, of
Philadelphia, and three sons. .Felton,
Stedman and Quincy Bent.
Man Who Maile Steolton
In Steelton. Major Bent Is looked up
on as the man, more than any other,
perhaps, who made the town what It j
is to-dsy. Among the old steel work
ers his death is the only topic of con- I
versation.
When Major Bent was at the head
of the Steelton plant, it was a different |
sort of a corporation from what it is,
to-day. The human element predomi- j
nated. It was a frequent occurrence j
for a laborer to walk into Ma.lor Bent's
private office and tell "the Chief" not'
only the story of his difficulties around j
the plant but of his personal troubles'
as well. And the Major always gave |
the right advice, says the steel :
workers. And the Major had a habit- !
.of over-ruling his department headts j
frequently.
Many men in Steelton. whose hairs j
are now gray, will remember "the Ma- ;
jor's Police Court," a tribunal of sum- :
mary conviction that held sessions j
every Monday morning In Major Bent's.
office.
Major "the Whole Shebang"
"In those days," said an old resi
dent this morning, "it wasn't necessary
to have any police here—the Major
was the whole 'shebang.' "
Before this "court" every Monday j
morning the Major would call the]
week-end offenders against his unwrit- i
ten code of rules. Serious offenders I
would be dismissed from the plant and,
ordered out of town. Those who mere- I
ly "strayed," as the Major would put]
it. were given a reprimand or short i
suspension. A great institution was '
"Major Bent's court."
In all civic activities of Steelton.!
Major Bent took part. For a number]
' of years he was president of the school j
board and did much to bring the Steel-1
ton schools up to their present stand- |
ard. In honor of his activities in]
school affairs the new grammar school
on Hygienic Hill was named the Luth- j
er S. Bent school. Although taking an
active part in the borough manage
ment he held no other elective office.
As a tribute to Major Bent's work
in Steelton, the little hamlet of New
Benton, settled by steel company em
ployes, was named in his honor.
"Bent's Row" is another monument to
the Major and it is estimated that
some two score of children in the bor
ougVi have been named after "the Ma
jor." .
.Many a Story of "the Major"
Not only did the scores of the older
businessmen, bankers, lawyers, mer
chants. manufacturers, of both Steel
ton and Harrisburg who had dealings!
with Major L. S. Bent on a larger scale!
during his years of service at the 1
Pennsylvania Steel Works recall many!
a story illustrative of his character to- j
day, but those who came in contact
with the popular stefel company offi
cial in a lesser capacity told their own
stories, too.
Among those who remembered some
of the characteristic high-lights of Ma
jor Bent's services at Steelton was
Marlon Verbeke. one of the city's vet
eran printers and for years chief clerk
in the office of the city controller and
in the office of the department of fi
nance and accounts. Here are some
of his stories that date back to 1883-
85 when Mr. Verbeke was a printer in
the office of the Steelton Reporter:
Remembered Fares
Major Bent probably did not know
everybody on the Steel Company pay
roll by name but it Is pretty safe to
say thai he could remember the faces
of all the employes. So accurate was
he in this respect that It wa« not un
common for him to readily pick out a
man In a crowd. For Instance, iu the
t HXRRISBURG
. early "eighties" payday was a day to |
Jbe dreaded by the citizens as well as
11 he merchants of Steelton in a way.
I The issue of the pay envelopes always I
j means so much more drinking and j
carousing. Now and then gangs of
foreigners would congregate and start
I a fight that would assume proportions
•of a small riot. In these instances Ma
jor Bent would prove conclusively how
I well he could pick out a face. As soon
as such a gathering would be spied by
I the horough authorities, the Major
I would be sent for. Fearlessly he would
go among the crowd, pick out a man
| here and there and simply say: "Smith
you come over to the office Monday
and get your time. The same to you,
Jones." That ability of the Major to
pick out a face eventually had much
to do with breaking up theso little dis
turbances.
Helped Organize Fire Company
While Major Bent always liked to
keep out of the personal limelight as
much as possible he figured conspicu
ously in all the big movements fhat
aimed at a better municipality. He
was particularly interested in the or
ganization of Steelton's first fire com
pany, the Citizens. Mr. Verbeke, with
a dozen or more men who were em-
I ployed at the big works, started the
movement to organize a fire fighting
organization shortly after several dis
astrous fires had occurred. Major Bent
while refusing any office, permanent or
honorary, was one of the chief boost-
I ers and hacked the new company with
(the steel firm's moral and financial
j support. Within sixty days after the
! company was formed enough money
had been subscribed to provide a fire
I engine and 1,000 feet of hose. Within
' four months the company owned Its
[own house. Major Bent point blank
! refused to accept any credit for his
i splendid assistance. The best he would
| permit the company to do by way of
j appreciation was to let the members
| name the steamer "S. M. Felton" af
j ter his father-in-law.
Hclpetl Postlcwaitc I'p ladder
: The first step up the ladder of fame
for E. T. Postlewaite, now high In the
official councils of the Pennsylvania
railroad was made, it is said, with the
assistance of Major Bent. Mr. Postle
waite was a member of a business firm
In Harrisburg which failed and the
partner entered the office of Major
| Bent as a stenographer. While a big
i official of the Pennsy was in eonfer
! ence with Mr. Bent one day, Postle
! waite, so the story runs, had nothing
jto do at the time and casually "took
i down" the two-hour conversation be
jtween the two. When a little later,
i the major learned of .this he was so
1 pleased that he promptly recommend
! Ed Postlewaite to the railroad official's
! service. %
I Always Drove to Office
While residing in Steelton Major
| Bent lived on the heights overlooking
I Second street, since occupied by the
j steel company heads. At that tinje
the lawn, known as "Bent's Lawn," ex
tended all the way to Front street. In
after years Second street was cut
through it. Major Bent invariably
drove to his office. Bernard Blakey, a
negro who was old In the memory of
many of Steelton's older residents of
the present day, always served as Ma
jor Bent's charioteen.
Got Fun Out of Affliction
The former head of the Steel plant
was a trifle cripple, his one shoulder
being deformed just enough to give It
the appearance of a lump on his back.
His affliction never bothered the ma
jor however; he frequently got fun out
of it. Here's a story they tell about
i that. On one occasion Major Bent
! came upon a lot of young employes
' of the works were were fighting. They
[of course had been drinking, and the
steel company off\cial promptly or
dered the offenders to "the office" for
"their time" the following Monday.
"As soon as I get over there, the
I first thing I'll do 'll be to knock that
:; lump off yer shoulder," snarled
j them.
i! "Good," replied the major prompt
i ly, "that's what I've wanted done for
i years. So don't wait 'till Monday.
; Come over to-day."
When in Culm
I Ahout the time of Major Bent's ac
tivities at Steelton, the Pennsylvania
•steel works had begun Its operations in
ithe Cuban ore banks and he spent I
niuch of his time there. While al-i
ways anything but dudish In his dress, |
. ! the major was invariably fastidious, i
i! particularly as to the summer cloth-1
i! ing he wore to Cuba, in the dead of;
II winter when snow was several Inches
1 deep, -Major Bent would frequently get j
i 1 ready for hfs southern trip. And at
> first his shopping tours—to buy linen
suits and light summer shirts—invaria
bly attracted attention.
Against Booze
The Major was always more or less
opposed to the liquor traffic at least
insofar as the granting- of licenses for
Steelton hostelrles was concerned. In
borough circles it is still contended
that Bent, although a friend of the
proprietor of the Strine House, oppos
ed his application for a license so
strenuously that it was five years be
fore the sale of liquor at the West Side
Hotel was allowed.

To Substitute Electric
Service For Steam Power
in Larger City Plants
In connection with extensions to its
plant designed to accommodate recent
ly booked foreign war orders, the Har
risburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Com
pany is arranging to install electric
equipment for some of the steam
driven machinery. Just how extensive
the charges will be this year Is prob
lematical. although negotiations have
been practically closed with the Har
risburg Light and Power Company for
the substitution of machinery that will
mean from 1,000 to 1,200 horsepower
at the plant. It Is said. By January 1,
1916, something like 2,500 electric
horsepower will have been substituted.
It is expected, for the steam driven
machinery.
In addition to helping to turn out
war materials for foreign countries,
electricity will be used in the near fu
ture in other kinds of commercial
work. For Instance, the Chesapeake
Oyster Shell Company will use elec
tric power to grind up a couple of hun
dred bushels of oyster shells every day
for fertilizer and chicken feed pur
poses. The Harrisburg Cigar factory
has Installed an electric, stencil for its
cigar boxes while the Wlttmeyer Lum
ber Company and Charles A. Hoak,
Penbrook, a dairyman, have put in
electric service for their sawmill and
refrigerating plants, respectively.

APE COMEDIANS AT COLONIAL
When an educated ape takes it Into
his head to be funny, there are few
things imaginable that are better to
laugh at. There is a group of baboons
at the Colonial Theater the first three
days of this week who have the knack
of keeping an audience in an uproar of
laughter. The antics that these ani
mal actors go through are enough to
make a mummy laugh. On the same
program are three other acts, well se
lected and well varied in character,
rounding out a very enjoyable show.
A 1 and Fannie Stedman have a com
edy act that Is highly amusing. Miss
' Stedman is a vory good looking girl
and with her partner has an exceed
ingly pleasing skit. Catherine Chal

HESS PENITENTIARY BILL
RECONSIDERED BY HOt'SE
The Hess bill, providing for making
of plans for ultimate consolidation of
the two State penitentiaries in Centre
country, w«.:eii was defeated last week,
was reconsidered in the House to-day
and made a special order for Monday
night. Mr. Hess spoke of the efforts
to give the State a model Institution
and of the humanitarian work of
Warden John Francies. He referred
to the movement Inaugurated here
several years ago for a new peniten
tiary and to the general support for it.
The Senate bill regulating the prac
tice of veterinary medicine was also
reconsidered.
HE WAS THIN
Weighed 135 Pounds, Now Weighs
160. A 25-Pound Increase
k.i .. . .... - .
"When I started taking Sargol my
weight was only 135 pounds," writes H.
E. Henninger. "Now my weight is 180
pounds and I am the picture of health
and stronger than I ever was before.
You may use my letter for I am sure It
will help somebody in the same shape t
was. Would not take SIOO for the good
it has done me." "When I commenced
taking Sargol I weighed 116 pounds. I
have oeen taking It only 26 days and
weigh 130 pounds," writes Miss Lilllle
Davis. "I gained 7 pounds in 10 days,"
states W. P. Thackery.
And so it goes. Some folks take little
stock In testimonials because they say
people are apt to take treatment for
some disease and just imagine they feel
better. But Sargol Is not a treatment
for any disease. It simply puts firm,
healthy, "stay there" fat and muscular
tissue on men anil women who are thin,
rundown and underweight. There Is no
guess work no imagination about, it.
These people weigh themselves before
thev begin. They weigh themselves
each week thereafter and the scales
tell the story. Hundreds upon hun
dreds of Sargol users are constantly
reporting increases in weight ranging
all the way from ten to forty pounds.
Sargol is Just a tiny tablet which you
eat at meals. It mixes with your food
and turns all the fats, sugars, starches
and oils of your food into rich, ripe,
flesh producing nourishment for the tis
sues and blood. If you are underweight
it is certain that the greater portion of
the fat-producing material in your food
Is going through your body as waste.
You eat and eat but get no benefit.
Sargol stops this wasteful, dangerous
leakage of fats and the result is quick
ly noted as the hollows of the body All
out with healthy flesh.
You risk no loss in taking Sargol, as
leading druggists everywhere sell it
with a positive guarantee of increased
weight aB contained In every package.
Absolutely harmless. Costs little If
It succeeds and nothing if It fails. If
vou are ten pounds or more under
weight you owe It to yourself to try
It.
