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.

AN OLD RECIPE
10 DARKEN RAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
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.

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.

road stations have been the scenes
of their labors and they have met
the men both ways, for returning sol
