Any Woman Can Now
Have Pretty Curly Hair
(Feminine World.)
Who'd have thought so simple a
thing as applying ordinary liquid sil
merine could convert straight hair into
such pretty curly locks in a single
night! The one who made this discov
ery is surely entitled to a rising vote
of thanks. Now all we need do is to
wet a brush with this harmless liquid
at night, draw this through the hair,
and in the morning we find it has
dried in just the sweetest waves and
curls.
It's good news, indeed, that we can
now dispense with the destructive wav
ing tongs forever: The curliness is so
much more natural looking where the
liquid siimerine is used, and certainly
one's "crowning glory' appears softer,
glossier and more beautiful. When it is
so easy to secure a few ounces of this
from the druggist—which will keep the
hair In curl for weeks—there's no rea
son now for any one putting up with
straight, straggly, or scorched, dead
lcoking hair.
CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIFE FOR CATAR
RHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD
NOISES
If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head
noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been themeansof saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. In England scientists for a long
time past have recognized that catarrh
Is a constitutional disease and neces
sarily requires a constitutional treat
ment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air pass
ages and force the disease into the mid
dle ear which frequently means total
deafness, or else the disease is driven
down the air passages towards the
lungs which is equally as,
dangerous. The following formula
which is used extensivel- In the. damp
English climate is a constitutional
treatment anfl should prove especially
efficacious to sufferers here who live !
under more favorable climate condi- 1
tlons. !
Secure from your Druggist 1 ounce
of Parmint (Double strength). Take
this home and add to it M pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar: stir until dissolrcJ. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day. This
will often bring quick relief from dis
tressing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy and
hearing improve as the inflammation
in the eustachian tubes is reduced. Par
mint is used in this way as it acts di
rectly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a slight
tonic action that facilitates the recov
ery of the patient. The preparation is
easy to make, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Every person who has
catarrh should give this treatment a
trial.—Advertisement.

THURSDAY EVENING
FIRE SWEEPS CENTRAL
BUSINESS BLOCK
[Continued From First Page.]
Adjoining the Hamewei property on
the north are the three apartments,
the Harris Cohen home and the Pal
ace Cafe, the latter on the corner of
Fourth and Blackberry streets.
On the first floors of the apartment
buildings were the store of Hetrlck &
Geistwhite, tailors. No. 22; barbershop
of Charles Anderson. No. 24, and the
barber supply house of Fred Bender,
No. 26. The rear of these business
places was reached by the flames, but
most of the damage here was by
smoke and water.
Apartments Gutted
Occupying the apartments over the
Hetrick & Geistwhite store were Miss
Annie Ashton, on the second floor,
and Mrs. Delia Wilbert. Over the An
derson barber shop lived Mrs. Anna
Cashman. and on the second floor of
• the building occupied by the barber
supply house resided Mrs. Harman.
None of the occupants were able to
save any of their effects. The flames
sutted the buildings and burned away
the stairways.
Only the front part of the Cohen
property was saved. The roof fell in
early. The firemen did good work on
the Palace Cafe building, as most of
the damage here was by smoke and
water. The property of Augustus L.
Roumfort. at Fourth and Chestnut
streets, a brick structure, escaped
damage by flames. The apartmentb
on the second floor, the offices of the
L. C. Smith Typewriter Company,
McCaskey Register Company. J. C.
Kelley, plumber, and M. Barbush, fruit
dealer, were damaged by water.
Family Homeless
On Chestnut street is the front en
trance to the garage. Adjoining the
latter is the home of Robert Boyer.
No. 332. Mr. Boyer and his family
are homeless. The front part of the
building occupied by this family was
I saved, but the rear is in ruins. This
building and No. 330, occupied by H.
i T. Brown and family, are a part of the
Doehne estate. The rear of the home
of Dr. M. L. Woiford, 328 Chestnut
street, was badly scorched.
Firemen saved very little of the fur
niture from the Chestnut street homes.
Considerable furniture, including two
pianos, were damaged in the haste to
remove them. Robert Boyer said his
loss was SI,OOO, which Is partially
covered by insurance. At the Brown
home the loss is estimated at $350,
on which there is no insurance.
Jewelry in the Ruins
The heaviest loss in furniture was
that of Mrs. Anne Keener, 30 South
! Fourth street. She just had time to
, dress and reach the street. In a
I bureau drawer in the room occupied
j by Mrs. Keener were seven diamond
I rings, two gold watches and other
j jewelry. When the Keener building
collapsed valuables with the furniture
! were buried in the ruins. Later one
j of the watches and two of the dia
mond rings were found among the
debris. Mrs. Keener said the loss on
her property is SB,OOO and on fur
! niture, jewelry and wardrobe SI,OOO.
j Mrs. Keener's insurance on her prop
erty expired a week ago. She had
arranged -with a local agent to make
: out a new policy to-day.
Horses Led Out
As soon as the flames reached the
Central Garage. William Phillips, fore
i man at the J. H. Oyler stables, adjoin
■ ing. took all the horses out, and led
them to another, stable three blocks
| away. There were six head of horses
!in the stable. They are owned by Dr.
I J- H. Oyler, Waller and Seal, Hanlen
I Brothers, Philadelphia Quick Lunch,
j and Mrs. Handen of Mechanicsburg.
When the horses were led out by
j Foreman Phillips, ten dogs, which
; were with Dr. Oyler for treatment,
; followed Phillips and were taken to
a place of safety. These dogs included
| high bred bull pups, colles and fox
I terriers. On his return the foreman
j found the stable in flames and had
J just time enough to save several sets
; of harness.
Dr. Oyler lost a valuable medicine
case. Because of the war and in
| creased prices in drugs some of the
medicines cannot be duplicated under
I S2OO. One ton of hay placed in the
; stable yesterday, a ton of straw,,
How to Absorb An
Unlovely Complexion
The face which is admired for it*
beauty must have a satin-smooth skin,
pink and white and youthful looking.
The only thing I know of that can make
such a complexion out of an aged, fad
ed. or discolored one—l mean a natural,
not a painted, complexion is ordi
nary mercolized wax. This remarkable
substance litterally absorbs the un
sightly cuticle, a little each dav, the
clear, healthy, girlish skin beneath
gradually peeping out until within a
week or so it is wholly in evidence.
Of course such blemishes as freckles,
moth patches, liver spots, blotches and
pimples are discarded with the old skin.
If you will procure an ounce of mercol
ized wax at the drug store, use like
cold cream every night, washing this
off mornings, you'll find it a veritable
wonder-worker.
Another valuable natural treatment is
a wash lotion to remove wrinkles which
can be easily prepared. Dissolve 1 oz.
powderpd saxolite in V, pt. witch hazel.
Bathe the face in this and you'll find
;t '■works like magic."—Phyllis Moore
in Town Talk.—Advertisement.
WlllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllN^
wagons belonging to firms who had
horses in the stable and a SSO sleigh,
the property of Dr. Oyler were de
stroyed.
Dr. Oyler who raises fancy chickens
also lost fifty hens in the fire. They
were good layers, producing and aver
aging 43 eggs per day. The fowls
were of high bred stock. Some of the
eggs sold as high as sixty cents a
dozen. The poultry was kept in the
rear of the stable which was attacked
early by the flames. The total loss
is estimated at SBOO on which there is
no insurance.
Total Loss Will Likely
Be Under $150,000
The loss in this morning's confla
gration will not aggregate more
than $150,003 according to revised
estimates. The George Doehne estate
way by far the heaviest loser. Its
loss has not been definitely ascertained
but is not expected to exceed $40,000.
With the exception of a few prop
erties, the block in which the fire
raged is owned by the George Doehne
estate. The insurance has not been
ascertained. The brewery occupied a
considerable part of it and imme
diately back of it in Chestnut street
is the old homestead. The flames
were placed under control soon after
they surged against the firewalls of
these properties.
In addition to the wooden buildings
housing the Central garage and Oy
ler's livery stables, Doehne's owns the
three buildings in Chestnut street
which were damaged by smoke and
water, three apartments in South
Fourth street and tne building occu
pied by the Palace Cafe.
Both the garage and livery stable
were burned to the ground. The loss
on the garage building which was
erected in 1885 for a roller skating
rink and later was used by Evangelist
Moody when he was here many years
ago is $6,000. The building was of
frame, covered with corrogated iron.
The stable which faced Dewberry
street was of the same construction
and when it burned, cracked the fire
wall on the engine house of the brew
ery. The flames did not succeed,
however in penetrating to the struc
ture. The livery stable was worth
about S4OO. Dr. Oyler's loss in medi
cines, harness and other equipment
will total SBOO. Four horses in the
stable were saved.
The Palace cafe's loss on contents
was in excess of SISOO. partially cov
ered by insurance. The loss on the
building was SI,OOO. Mrs. Annie
Cohen placed the loss on her house
and its contents at SB,OOO. The same
valuation was placed by Mrs. Keener
on her property. Both were covered
by insurance.
Hetrick and Geistwhite, who con
ducted a tailor shop in the first floor
of their apartment house, placed their
loss at $15,000 on building and con
tents. covered by $7,500 insurance.
The Doehne building at 24 South
Fourth, occupied by Charles Anderson
on the first floor and apartments on
the second, was damaged to the ex
tent of .*6,000. His private loss was
more than SI,OOO. The loss on the
Philadelphia cafe in which the tire
started and which was totally de
stroyed. is SI,OOO on the building and
the same amount on the contents.
Doehne's lost $5,000 on the build
ing occupied by J. C. Kelley, the
plumber and the McCaskey Cash Reg
ister company. Kelley's loss on sup
pties will exceed $2,000. The Mc-
Caskey company lost SI,OOO.
The building at the corner of Fourth
and Chestnut owned by August L.
Rumford and occupied by him and
M. Barbush. a fruit dealer, was $3,000.
Barbush sustained damages of SI,OOO
from water and smoke. He carried
SSOO insurance.
The outside of the buildings at 332,
330 and 328 Chestnut street, owned by
the Doehne estate and occupied by
Robert Boyer, Thomas Brown and Dr.
M. L. Wolford, respectively aggregat
ing $2,500. The furniture of Mr.
Boyer was damaged to the amount of
S6OO. Thomas Brown lost S3OO from
the smoke and Dr. Wolford's damage
is S3OO.
Heaviest Losses Are
Divided Among 30
Automobile Owners
The loss of about $60,000 on the
fifty-four automobiles which were in
both live and dead storage at the Cen
tral Garage is distributed among more
than thirty owners. H. V. Runk, agent
for the Haynes, and E. W. Shank,
local Maxwell distributor, had recently
sold out their consignments of ma
chines, so that their loss was confined
to accessories. P. H. Kebock, local
Jackson agent, lost four new ma
chines which he intended to enter in
the AUentown F'air. Frank Budnick,
of Steelton, has run his jitney in the
garage late last night, intending to
take it to a repair shop this morning.
Miller & Kades' truck, a new ma
chine of Astrich's, two heavy tractors
of tha Evans-Burtnett Company and
a true* of John FeesriV were totally
destroyed. The Boyer Joy-Giving Car,
which has hauled 10,000 children in
Its time, was also burned. It carried
SSOO insurance. The touring machine
of Charles Lovitz, of the National Sup
ply Company, was destroyed.
Runk's Rooks Burned
Because of the loss of all his books
Mr. Runk said this morning it was im
possible for him to give out a list of
the owners who stored cars with him.
William S. Essick. a local insurance
man, said that six owners holding In
surance in his companies sent notices
, o( their loss this morning.
BXRRIBBURG tfiS&k TELEGRAPEf
! Beds Pour Out Their
Sleeping Occupants
by the Thousands
When the general alarm was sound
led at 2.30 o'clock, beds poured out
| their sleeping occupants by the thou
| sands and before you could say Jack
j Robinson the streets uptown, down-
J town and on the Hill were filled with
I hurrying, skurrying humanity.
The Mulberry street bridge was
j jammed with people at the Fourth
! and Chestnut streets approach and the
police were kept busy keeping the
: throngs back of the fire lines. Every
available spot outside the flrelines in
Fourth. Chestnut and the back streets
; adjdfcnt to the burning block was
thiclT with humanity. Women in ki
monos and boudoir caps and men in
their undershirts and hastily donned
trousers pushed and crowded for po
sitions. And there the thousands
stood until nearly dawn when the
blaze was under control.
Sky Lit Up For Miles
The blaze lit up the clear, starry
heaven for miles. From the East End
the flames could be seen rising and
the smoke pouring up for many feet.
As the Hill residents flocked In over
the Mulberry street viaduct It looked
as though the whole central part of the
city was in flames. And far uptown
the licking flames could be seen
shooting into the sky, and before
many minutes had gone by after the
alarm for general help was rung
jitneys began chasing hither and
thither about Second, 'x.iird and
Fourth streets. !
Jitneys on the Job
The rapidity with which the jit
ney men got on the Job was almost
amazing. Everywhere could be seen
the übiquitous buses bringing the
curious downtown to see the con
flagration. And the business-headed
, drivers made a nice pocketful of
money carrying the hundreds home
after it was all over.
Furniture Litters Streets
Furniture littered the streets for
several blocks, the wary in nearby
j dwellings getting ready for emer-
I gencies. Bureaus, carpets, chairs,
tables and what not stood about until
| daylight when the residents moved
j their stuff back Into their homes.
Underwriters' Engineer
Objects to the Way the
Big Fire Was Fought
Exceptions to the methods used by
local firefighters last night, have been
taken by J. H. Howland, an engineer
connected with the National Commit
tee of the National Board of Fire Un
derwriters.
He arrived on the scene twenty
minutes after the flre started and said
that the men should have made use
o/ the aerial ladders before they did.
"The National Committee," Mr.
Howland says, "feels that Harrisburg
has absolute and inadequate fire
fighting facilities. I have come here
to urge the adoption of a building
code, the housing of the fire alarm
system in a fireproof building and the
organization of a full paid fire de
partment system. This could easily
be done."
Fire Reunites Brothers
Separated Five Years
This morning's fire brought both joy
and sorrow to the Hamewei brothers.
It is said that for several years they
have been estranged because of a busi
ness transaction. They are now
friends.
While Ahmad Hamewei and Wil
liam Farner of the Harrisburg Gas
Company were discussing the probable
losses and origin of the flre, the bro
ther, Kay Kamewei who conducts the
Palace Cafe, came in sight. •
"Come over here," shouted Farner.
When the brother answered the call,
Farner said, "Shake hands. You've
been enemies long enough. IJoth of
you are sufferers so shake hands and
forget your past troubles."
The brothers shook hands, both
shed tears, and then they moved away
from the crowd that was gathering.

agement is now in the belief of many
Republicans more responsive to Re
publican sentiment. To be nominated
on the Republican party ticket this
year is to be elected and this as much
as anything else has drawn many can
didates into the field.
Manifestly the hopeless tangle of
the Democratic machine is responsible
for the silly attempts of the local
Democratic bosses to embroil the Re
publican voters in a factional war that
will aid only the schemes of the ma
chine. More time is being spent by
them in misrepresenting Republican
conditions than in correcting their
own mistakes.
Oumbler and Stine
As the primaries approach It be
comes more and more apparent that
Dr. H. M. Stine, of this city, and
Charles C. Cumbler, of the lower end,
have the lead for county commis
sionership and unquestionably if
they are nominated they will be
elected. Cumbler and Stine have the
backing of the organization following,
and while they will have no opposition
from the so-called "Old Guard," they
will go into the courthouse unpledged
to anybody and on a platform of
economy and progressiveness in coun
ty affairs. It has been long 1 recognized
that the city should have representa
tion in the county commissioner's
office on the majority side of the board
and those who are supporting Stine
say they did not induce him to run
but got behind him when they dis
covered his desire to give the city a
candidate. Cumbler is a well-known
Republican and as treasurer of the
county committee aided in the election
of Senator Beidleman and was very
prominent in the Brumbaugh cam
paign last Fall. J. William Bayies,
alderman of the Seventh ward;
G. M. Bowerman and Charles
H. Harman are also actively in the
race for county commissioner on the
Republican ticket.
W. W. Caldwell's friends are pick
ing him as a winner for the nomina
tion as sheriff. Caldwell has also been
aligned with the reorganization ele
ment, and as city highway commis
sioner has a record for efficiency only
equaled by that as warden of the
county jail, where he has instituted a
system of management that has been
commended repeatedly by the State
Board of Charities. Ex-Sheriff Fletch
er Is busy as a bee with his candidacy
for the same office and is telling his
friends that It is only a question of
majority. He claims to have the sup
port of former Prison Warden Meetch,
"Uncle John" Mcllhenny and Harry
L. Hershey, although it is known that
for a time at least this support might
have gone to Caldwell, whose prison
warden record is regarded as a strong
card. However, Col. Meetch's philo
sophical observations and political ad
vice are missing this season, he and
his son Harry having left some time
since on one of the extended hunting
trips in which they take such a keen
delight. An interesting feature of the
primary is the doubt as to Col.
i Meetch, one of the older party lead
i ers. It has been known for some
time that he has been desirous of re
l tiring from the political game and the
i fact that he has left with his son on
' his annual shooting trip on the At
lantic coast gives color to this gos
sip.
The recordership race is a three
cornered contest with James E. Lentz,
of Elizabethville; William S. Tunis, of
Harrisburg, and Frank J. Roth, as
candidates. Lentz, as vice-chairman
of the Republican county committee,
has been prominent for years as an
independent and was chosen to repre
sent the upper end of the coun y In
1912 when the old party rules vere
abandoned and the new progressive
rules put In force. For a year or more
it has been known that he had record
ership aspirations and when he came
down with the names of all but three
of his townsmen Republicans on his
petition the re-organization leaders
turned in for him. William S. Tunis
has to his credit several terms in the
legislature and is banking on his fire
men, baseball and capitol park ex
tension work in the past to make votes
for him. He is supported by Former
Revenue Collector Hershey and John
H. Mcllhenny, among the leaders.
Frank Roth has been court
stenographer for years and has
SEPTEMBER 16, 1915.
many of the attorneys at the bar on
his petition. It was understood that
he was to have the so-called "Old
Guard" support now turned to Tunis,
but he is apparently making an en
tirely independent race and says he
is pleased with results. Mr. Roth has
many friends without regard to party
who are quite enthusiastic in his be
half.
District Attorneyship
For district attorney Michael E.
Stroup is a candidate for re-election
and running for the same nomination
is Paul A. Kunkel, who was Mr.
Stroup's fusion opponent in a race that
ran close enough four years ago to
carry it up to the courts for decision.
Kunkel is also a candidate on the
Washington and Democratic party
tickets and if Stroup's friends are
right in their belief that he will be
the Republican nominee by a fair ma
jority he and Kunkel will go to it
again at the general election. Stroup
is urging his course in the district at
torney's office, as his personal plat
form and is making an active canvass.
Kunkel also has been getting about
the county. Stroup said to-day he
feels sure of renomination.
William F. Houser, of Middletown,
Is without opposition for nomination
as ragister of wills on the Republican
side and will have as his Democratic-
Washington opponent Roy C. Danner,
