"But to get liver and bowels working as they ought, without producing evil after-effects Las been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had In convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient de rived from the humble May apple, or its root, which has been called 'vegetable calomel' be cause of its effectiveness—though, of course, it is not to be^classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. There is no habit-forming > constituent in 'sentanel' tablets—that's th name —and their use is not followed by weak* uess or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dime's worth will do—will prove a revelation to any constipated, liver troubled person."

COMB SAGE TEA INTO GRAY HI Da- kens Beautifully and Re- j stores Its Natural Color and Lustre at Once Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and aicohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im proved by the addition of other in gredients, cosUng about 50 cents a largo bottle, at drug stores, kndwn as ••Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound." thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft t.rush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After • an other application or two your hair be- , comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft nnd luxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur j Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease, % I FRIDAY EVENING, NEWS OF THE THIRD CLASS CITY BILLS ON WAY Both Houses Will Act Upon Them During Coming Week According to Plans The tliird-clasa city amendment which would provide lor the election of men to fill vacancies in councils by the members of the councils will be passed in the Senate next week and sent to the House. The bill was pre sented, by Senator K. E. Beidleman at the request of the solicitors of third class cities and will likely go through early. "*■ Another third-class city bin which is attracting attention is that to per mit cities to appropriate money for public band concerts which w;ill be in the House next week. v The bill to provide that city controllers must sign all warrants will come out of committee next week, it is under stood. The Maurer bills to permit J cities to engage in the milk and coal j business will be considered next week. A bill which is attracting atten tion is that of Mr. Smith, Fayette, which would make boards of viewers in counties between 150,000 and 1,000,- 000 receive salaries of SI,BOO each. There are twelve viewers and Dau phin and York would come under the bill if it becomes a law, 'before very long. The counties that would be affected at once would be Berks, Lan caster and Schuylkill among others. PRINTING KNOT IS SENT TO BROWN Attorney General Will Decide How the Business Is to Be Conducted Attorney General Brown was to-day j asked to entangle the knot which has 1 been tied between the executive and I the legislative branches of the State Government over the public printing. The Senate held up the Governor's i nomination of D. Edward Long to be superintendent and in order to permit advertisement for bids for the four 'year contract to be made and work to go on passed a concurrent resolution giving the chief clerk the power of superintendent in case of a vacancy. .The Governor's office has declined to accept this action on the ground that [ it is legislative interference with a de partment of the State Government. Bids will be aslted for printing and j orders will be given and Mr. Brown will speedily give a decision, which if it upholds the Governor's contention will result in another tense situation as the Senate will then be charged with holding up business and attempt ing to do tilings without approval of the Governor. It is said that R. H. Hendriekson, a Pittsburgher recently put into the place of chief of distribution of docu ments from which Dr. J. M. Esler, of Tarentum, was asked to resign, has a bee buzzing to become superintendent in the event that Long goes down. As Hendriekson is a protege of Senator W. J. Burke, an ardent Brumbaugh man, he would probably have a rough time in the Senate, despite his belief that he could get confirmed. Chief Clerk Bell will not take any chances signing the payroll until the matter is cleared up. PIPE BENDING PLANT OFFERED TO U. S. [Continued From First Page.] government in case of war.

PROBELBILL WILL BE UP MONDAY House Action Is Being Eagerly Awaited by People at the State Capitol The Senate resolution for the probe into the government of State, county and city in Pennsylvania, will be the big thing in the House on Monday night while the Oakley paintings are being unveiled in the Senate. The administration forces are said to be planning a battle against it and an attack upon it as unfair, but they have given up hope of accomplishing mpch because of the attitude of the Democrats who will vote for it in the end. / The Democrats will renew their ef fort to get into the bill the Washers amendments which were ruled out of order in the Senate. These provide for the creation of a "high commis sion" of eminent citizens. The Demo crats will make the same "grand stand" play that they did in the Sen ate with a speech or two thrown in. Speculation is rife as -to what the Governor will do. His friends predict that he will veto the resolution with a scathing denunciation of the plan, much along the line that he suggested in his letter to the Senate. It will take a pretty good-sized vote in the Senate to override the veto, which will furnish one of the biggest battles in years in the .Legislature.

Many of the passengers and crew were thrown from their feet besides the five killed instantly more than a score were injured by flying splinters. Unable to Lower Bouts All alike hurried, although in per fect order, for their assigned boats. But the California was already begin ning to settle by the stern, although her headway was carrying her for ward so rapidly that it was impossible to lower the boats. She went down so rapidly that one or two of the boats were already borne up by the water when released from the davit-heads. Many of the passengers and even more of the crew had to jump the sloping decks into the boats or into the icy water, from which they were hauled with difficulty. One of the boats on the port side aft was swamped just as the California disappeared and nearly every person in it was drawn down with the liner and drowned. Captain Henderson remained on the bridge until the last possible moment and then dived into the sea, being picked up by a boat. The chief engi neer, Smith. Engineer Cunningham and Third Officer Simpson were lost. Wi.thin nine minutes after the warn ing bubbles had been seen nothing was to be seen of the California save the little cluster of lifeboats, a few bits of floating wreckage, three or four bodies, which were recovered, and the little oily, bubble-fringed whirlpool which marked the spot where she went down. Used Ship as Shield Statements by survivors of vessels recently sunk show that in one case a submarine operating in the war zone employed a steamer which it had seized as a place of temporary refuge for crews of other vessels attacked and sunk. The survivors who told of this pro cedure were from the Norwegian sail ing vessel Songelv and the Furness liner Turino. The captain and twenty nine of the crew of the latter were landed. Her first engineer and three of her firemen were killed. On Board Two Days The crews of both vessels, the sur vivors relate, were on board an un named Italian steamer for two days. The German submarine operating here used this Italian vessel, which it had armed and provided with a crew of six men, as a ship to st&nd by and receive the crews of sunken ships. After the crews of the Songelv and Turino had been on board the Italian' ship for two days they were trans ferred to the British steamer Pen mount, which was ordered to take them to port. The Germans also transferred from the submarine to the Penmount Captain Smalles, of the steamer Hollinside, who had been taken on board the submarine as a prisoner when his vessel was sunk. His crew of. twenty-two were left in open boats, he reported, and are still missing. The intention of tfie submarine was to sink the Italian vessel before re turning to Germany, according to sur vivors. GOV. EDGE VISITS WILSON * Washington, Feb. 9.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CONTINGENTS IN LIMELIGHT NOW Close Watch Being Kept Over Vouchers at the Auditor General's Office Hundreds of expense vouchers in the Auditor General's Department 'are being examined by men connected with various departments of the State government to get. data ready to sub mit to the Legislature in response to the Daix resolution calling for the Economy and Efficiency Commission to furnish a detailed statement of ex penditures and estimates for the coming two-year appropriation period. Incidentally, there is a tremendous scurrying around to see that there are no problems likely to arise from the expenditures. The demands for the vouchers have been so great that extra clerks have been assigned to the work in the Audi tor General's Department and a night watchman now sits in the filing room where they are kept and lights burn until a late hour at night. It is the plan of the appropriations committee to go over the estimates of the departments with a tine tooth comb and the plan adopted in the days of the Tener administration by John R. K. Scott of delving into the manner in which contingent funds were spent may be used. Scott forced the presentation to the Legislature of detailed statements. The general ap propriation bill will be made up im mediately and it is the plan to send it into the committee thirty days hence. Discretionary payments may not be allowed in the new bill or if they are there will be a requirement that all vouchers be audited.

This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very, harmful. Just plain mulsltled cocoanut oil (which la pure and en tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive 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 teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly and it leaves it fi.no and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family lor months. | A Chalmers Masterpiece I 1 An unusual sedan. Its roof | | is permanent.
