Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scab)
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex
pensive soaps or anything else alt to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.

Scarcity of Material Holds
Up Gettysburg Street Oiling
Gettysburg, Pa., July s.—Gettys
burg Borough Council is having
Quite a time over the Question of
the repairing oiling of the
streets. At a meeting early in the
spring it was decided to oil the
streets of the town so that the citi
zens would he relieved of the dust
j nuisance, and the highway commit
tee was instructed to go ahead and
make the necessary purchases of
stone to fill up the low places before
the oiling should be done, as well as
to purchase the oil and tarvia. The
summer is half gone and still the
townspeople are afflicted with the
dust and nothing has yet been done.
At the June meeting of the Councii
the matter was taken out of the
hands of the highway committee and
placed in the hands of a special com
mittee.
The proceedings of the July meet
ing developed the fact that both
committees are tied up and it is hard
to tell when the work will be done,
stone being hard to get and oil and
tarvia being held by the government,
although the promise has been made
that just as soon as the government
will release some of the stuff it would
be shipped here.

Officer W. S. Monroe, who lives at
1731 Sixth street, Harrisburg, and is
so popular among visitors to the
park, said:
"My stomach had gone back on
me entirely. Was constipated and
my kidneys troubled me greatly.
Then I remembered that I had read
a lot about folks who had been
helped by Tanlac so I bought a.bot
tle a,nd started taking it. Well, sir,
you can believe me or not, but the
very first doses did me good. I could
feel it sort of nosing around inside of
me hunting out the trouble and be
fore I had finished the first bottle I
felt a hundred per cent, better.
"Now I eat with a relish, my stom
ach is in fine shape and tTiose bad
headaches I used to suffer with have
left me entirely and I can only thank
Tanlac."
Tanlac is now being introduced
here at George A. Gorgas' Drug
Store.
