HARRISBURG TEIJEGRAPH NOW HOSKINS WANTS A RIFLE You Don't Know Him, but Read This Story of a Man Who Found Himself He Is standing on the deck above the throbbing engines watching the sun play on the gently rolling swells of the Atlantic the English man is. Beyond a suit of khaki, an Enfield rifle, a bayonet und a heavy pack await him. Beyond Is the thunder of belching howitzers, coil ing trench systems, mud, trench raids, death ready with a hand shake. Beyond Is the Englishman's future—and with It all—with iho peril, with the hardship, with the Intimacy with death—-the English man Is happy. He has found his soul. - Until a few days ago the English man was an Akronlte. He was a quiet unobtrusive fellow who ans wered to the name of Alfred Hos kins, and when he swore he sworo softly and used unfamiliar slang as "blighter" and his superlatives were limited to "Bully." He was a char acter for Joseph Conrad, ihis Englishman was. He ran away from London because he did not want to go to war. He thought a lot of life. Any sacrifice that might take It away from him was too great. He Comes! t<> America Alfred Hopkins climbed steadily aboard a ship and came to America. He left his two brothers to do the fighting for the family. He left his mother to cry and weep scalding tears of humiliation. He left his father angry and brooding. Of course, his conscience bothered him —it behaved abominably—but it would wear itself out. A few months in America and all would be all right. Two years Alfred Hoskins roamed the American continent, but the conscience did not wear Itself out. It rebuked him In Chicago, In Cleve land, in the west. In the east—ln Akron it became unbearable. It ad monished him night and day. He Gives Up Three months ago Alfred Hoskins got a Job as an elevator man. He worked nights. Everywhere In the day time, he was confronted by soldiers, by newspaper accounts of the stirring deeds of his country men. A week ago Alfred Hoskins gave up the struggle. He quit his Job. He confessed ills weakness. Ho was going back. He was going to tight. And to-day, postmarked New York, came the message. "Passage all arranged. Enlisted with British recruiting station in New York. Sail to-night." Aged War Veteran Dies After Long Illness Robert Dougherty, aged 83, died at his home, 2 7 Linden stret, last night, after a lingering Illness.

Most soap! and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which Is very Injurious, as It dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use Is just plain mulsltled cocoanut oil,* for this Is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most ex pensive soat>s or anything else al. •to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will lust the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon ful Is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses oul easily. The hair dries quickly ano evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han dle. Besides, It loosens and takes out every particle or dust, dirt and dandruff. 5
