Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes tho hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure
and entirely grcaseless), is much
.better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can -use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly In
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifled. cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces Is enough
to last every one in the family for
imonths.
TEMPEST RAGES
INATEAPOT
Public Service Bill Debated
and Harsh Terms Used
Before Sidetracking
The Shunk bill amending the pub
lic service act of 1913 so that the
Public Service Commission may have
power to suspend increased rates
until any litigation which may arise
over them is concluded was post
poned in the House of Representa
tives at the late afternoon session
after being debated for an hour.
During the discussion Mr. Simpson,
Allegheny, charged that a man whom
he characterized as "a paid hireling
lobbying for corporations" had told
him he would see a strenuqus fight
over the bill on the floor of the
House. Later on he said that the re
mark was not made about any leg
islator, but "a paid lobbyist."
The debate occurred in the pres
ence of 300 members of the State
League of Boroughs, including many
officials who had been interested in
complaints against increased rates
filed by utility companies before the
commission and who evidenced their
interest by considerable applause.
There was considerable surprise
when Mr. Simpson at the conclu
sion of a speech strongly advoctlng
the bill moved that it be placced
on the postponed calendar at the
request of its sponsor, one of the
Erie memßers. Mr. Simpson said
that the reason was that there was
not a large attendance of members
of the House. >
Milner, Philadelphia, attached
bill as unfair and Mr. Vickerman,
Allegheny, crossed swords with him,
saying it was a' measure needed by
the smaller municipalities and the
people who used trolley cars and
other utilities. Mr. Simpson then
joined the fray and debated supreme
court decisions with Mr. Milner, clos
ing with an attack on corporations
in general and utility corporations in
particular.

"Well then said Mr.
;
Hershey, "come over
Here to our laboratory and I will introduce you
to our Chemist, Mr. Zeigler. He can tell you
how we test all the milk and cream that comes
into our plant."
The Chemist was very much elated over the
idea of showing the Ad man a number of very
delicate tests which he was then making.
Said the Chemist, "We will start with these
fine scales. They are so accurate and so ex
tremely sensitive/' he said, "that if you write
your name on a piece of paper and you put an
other piece of paper of the same size and weight
on one side of this scale you can tell the exact
weight of the lead which is on the paper."
The Chemist explained how he had often writ
ten his own name on a piece of paper and by a
number of tests on those scales determined that
the amount of lead from a lead pencil, necessary
to write his name, weighed about one ten thou
sandth of a gram.
That's getting it down pretty fine, isn't it?.
Right here is where the Ad man's inquisitive
ness got the best df him.
So he asked the Chemist, "What good was it
to weigh things down to such minute quantities?"
You know a chemist is a very queer person in
some respects. If he is a good chemist he is sin
cere and puts his whole heart into his work, and
you can take it from the Ad man that Mr. Her
shey wouldn't have him around unless he were
a good chemist.
Then Mr. Hershey spoke up and said, "We
maintain a standard of food value for every plate
of ice cream that goes out of otir plant." Said he,
"We can tell just how many calories in each given
quantity of cream."
"What in the world is a calorie?" asked the Ad
man.
"Why, a calorie," explained Mr. Hers Key, "is a
unit of heat."
i
"Oh," exclaimed the Ad man, as though He
had known it all the time.
Then the Chemist explained how he tested all
the milk and cream to find out exactly how much
butter fat and milk solids they contained.
"Why do you want to know so much about the
butter fats and milk solids?" asked the Ad man.
"Why don't you just go ahead when you get this
milk and cream and mix it up with the rest of
your ingredients and make the ice cream and get
it over with?"
Mr. Hershey then explained, in a very em
phatic manner, that HERSHEYS SUPERIOR
ICE CREAM is the finest grade possible to make
and is chemically pure, and also it contains the
proper amount of butter fat and milk solids.
Said he, "We make only one grade of ice
cream, and that is why we put all this time
money and effort into this laboratory. Wy/have
the very latest instruments made, ancj/ fhe only
chemical testing outfit like this in Ha/^risburg.
/
"It is the most accurate system iij existence. It
is far superior to the Babcock testing system used
by most others."
