NEW ESCHEAT ACTIS LIKELY Will Probably Be Drawn Up in a Short Time For Con sideration of Lawmakers Prospects are that the general assembly of 1919 which will con vene in Harripburg in a little more than sixty days will be called upon to discuss considerable changes in the laws g6verning the escheating of * unclaimed bank deposits and other valuable property to the Common wealth. Tests of the acts of 1913 and 1917 which amended the earlier laws are now pending and appeals will be taken to the supreme court on behalf of Pittsburgh and Phil adelphia banks. The intention is to have these appeals argued at the January sitting of the supreme court and the preliminary steps are under way. The Auditor General will re quire banks to make statements as well as trustees and others so that proper advertisements can be ar ranged. The chief complaint about the laws now on the books Is that they are, in the language of a state fiscal official, "too cumbersome" and have too an elaborate system. It is pro posed to draft bills Ivhich will sim plify procedure and safeguard de positaries, owners and the Common wealth. It is the belief of men who have studied the proposition that the new bills will bring a million dollars into the State Treas- 1 ury In a year and a half from the time they go Into operation, pro vided they are enacted.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color* and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at homo, which is ntussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply atk at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for about DOc. Every body uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw '.his through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dinappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requi site. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or nrevention of disease. —Ad v.

NEWMARK&COWN 308 Eroad Street *■ * SATURDAY EVENING. O'NEIL CERTAIN SPROUL WILL GET BIG MAJORITY Is Hopeful Tljat $50,000,000 Road Bond Issue Will Be Approved Pittsburgh, Oct. 28. Highway Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil, dur ing a visit to Republican headquar ters, expressed the opinion that there is no question about the elec tion of Senator William C. Sproul and the whole Republican ticket. He bases this on the sentiment he has gathered in the last four months traveling through Pennsylvania. In that time he has, covered 12,000 miles of roads and some in close contact with the people. Two weeks ago Mr. O'Neil said that he encountered considerable sentiment for Municipal . Court Judge E. C. Bonniwell, the Demo cratic nominee for Governor. Since then the Republican organizations of the various counties have started to work and the Bonniwell senti ment is disappearing. Mr. O'Neil was the opponent of Senator Sproul for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. With the close of the primary campaign he turned In for the winner and has since been doing everything ho could for the ticket. The men who fought with Mr. O'Neil in the primaries are now working for Mr. Sproul. While the vote will be far below normal this (year, Mr. O'Neil says he is convinced that Senator Sproul will emerge with a large majority of the votes. Hopeful For the Bond Issue Commissioner O'Neil is hopeful that the electors will approve the $50,000,000 bond issue for the im provement of the highways. Since Mr. Sproul has announced, said Mr. O'Neil. "that as governor he would not allow the expenditure of the money until conditions becomo nor mal, there is no reason why this amendment to the constitution pro viding for the loan should not be approved. We cannot foretell just what conditions will arise after the war and it may be very advantageous to have this amount of money to spend in highway'improvement and thus afford work for unemployed labor."' President Damages Brodbeck Chances According to York people, the President's letter has hurt Con gressman Brodbeck's chances for re election in the York-Adams district, and Republicans in York*are going to make this week count. The situ ation is a good bit like the North umberland-Columbia district, and Democratic confidence has been given a severe jolt almost over night. In the "Shoestring" district the President has added lots to the majority always sure for B. F. Foeht's re-election. York county Democrats have been saving their troubles over the Con gressional question, for they are re markably divided. Many of them believe that if A. R. Brodbeck is re-elected to Congress it will mean the appointment of his'present sec retary, Clarence A. Geecy, as post master of York. While they do not deny that Geesey has worked long and hard for Brodbeck. yet Edward C. Peeling, the powerful Demo cratic leader, is postmaster just now and any effort to supplant him will, of course, mean the loss of the Peeling support. Aside from these features, there is little interest man ifested in politics among the Demo crats and there are many Republi cans who see victory sure now. Red Cross Canteen Aids Soldiers Passing City The canteen committee of the local Rod Cross have certainly put Harris burg on the map for the hungry dough boys who have passed through this city, most of them for the first time, on their way to the point of embarkation for' France. It goes without saying that they have hoped their stopping places en route would he a succession of Harrisburg's so royal has their welcome and "oats" been here. The women working un der the direction of Mrs. Francis J. Hall and Mrs. Walter H.*Gaither. who, with a corps of ladies, dispense hot food, ehdcolate, tobacco, newspa pers and magazines to the men, have transiently cared for 7,663 soldiers during the last ten days. Both rail road stations have been the scenes of their labors and they have met the men both ways, for returning sol diers as well ns those who have yet to make their debut on the battle fields of France have been the re cipients of Red Cross hospitality. BUSHMAN'S Al'TO MO BILK BROUGHT BACK TO CITY To-morrow Clarence J. Collins and Charles C. Reinecker will be taken In an automobile by County Detective Walters to the point where they shot and killed George J. Bushman, of Gettysburg, whose body was found along the river road near Eucknow, October 17. The men confersed slay ing Bushman somewhere near the borderline of Adams and Cumberland counties, on their way from Carlisle to Gettysburg. Last night Adams County Detective Wilson returned from Philadelphia with Bushman's car. Collins and Reinecker left it att a Philadelphia garage the day after the confessed murder.
