USE LESS SOAP SAYS DR. DIXON Practical Economy Suggested by the State Commissioner to the People i • "Economy in soap would not only be a saving of money, but would help in saving human life," declares Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commis sioner of Health in a war time econ omy and health talk issued to-day. "Soap" declares the Commissioner, "is a much abused article." He says that things that go to make it up are valuable and that people can get clean by using considerably less soap than is now thought necessary. The Commissioner's talk is ad dressed to the people at home and points out where the economy can be made. The Commissioner says: "In this season and at this time when thousands of our young troops are being mobilized for the Nation al Army and are, of necessity, ex posed to unusual conditions often producing nervous chills, is the wise time to economize on soap. Again, when the cost of living is so high all along the line, it will Vie an economy to use less soap as it is a much abus ed article. It is not necessary, as so many seem to think, to have a stiff, creamy lather in order to dissolve the dirt that is filling up the pores of the skin. On the contrary, very little soap—pure soap—ls required to break up the dirt and permit the water to remove it from the pores so that the glands may perform' their normal duty. "The pores are the openings on the surface of the skin of the sweat glands and must be kept clear and free from either dirt, soap or any matter that would tend to interfere with their action in the elimination of perspiration. Imperfect action ! of the sweat glands is a source of I disease, various matters accumulat ing in the system, which would otherwise be eliminated. "Therefore, economy in soap would not only be a saving in money but would help in saving l human life, by cutting down respiratory di seases."

"• SUDDEN CHANGES IN ASPIRATIONS Schuylkill Legislative Situa tion Complicated by Late Announcements According to word which came here yesterday there have been some sudden switches in the political line up in Schuylkill county and men who were not candidates the middle of last week are in the field, while some who were running have found out that they only thought they were. It is said that Representative "Cy" Palmer will no be a andidate for Senator, but run for another term in the House and that Marshal F. J. Noonan may decide to run for Con gress so that Ex-Sheriff C.

Schaeffer, of Mahanoy City, has announced that' ho will be an aspirant for the Re publican nomination for Represen tative from the First Legislative Dis trict, for the fourth term. Robert J. Graeff, of Tamaqua, the Representa tive from the Third District, is home from Columbus, Ohio, whither ho had gone to enter a training camp j for the artillery service, he having enlisted as a private. He has been rejected and that brings him home to his practice as a successful mem ber of the Schuylkill county bar and to make him an eligible candidate for the Republican nomination for Legislature to succeed himself. Mr. Graeff has seen military service in the National Guard and in the United States service at the Mexican border. He will run again. During the ab sence of Mr. Graeff at Columbus sev eral ambitious Republicans of his district have been looking towards his seat with the wish and hope of filling it. William E. Williams, a miner, who resides at Tamaqua, the home of Mr. Graeff, is a pronouned candidate, while Thomas Howells ahd William R. Conrad, also of Tamaqua, who have had other poli tical aspirations heretofore, are re ceptive candidates. ■that is always a drawback to your perfect health. S. S.

The supply of seed corn is not short, but much of what is avail able is of inferior quality and the demand is tremendous, especlally from counties which were hard hit by the September frosts and where shortage of labor prevented the corn from being gathered at the usual time. Not only there is a serious condition in the northern counties and in western districts, but eastern counties long noted for agricultural excellence have been affected. The Department of Agriculture is trying to buy up all the tested corn that can be had to sell to farmers at cost.
