Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair la good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsi fied cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as tills can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. 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 Mulslfied cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store.

Swisher, Charged as Deserter From the Army, Wanted on Bigamy Counts in Northumberland; One Wife Critically 111 Because of Husband's Dual Life Sunbury, Pa., Sept 10. —The ease with which Howard F. Swisher married four wives is the sensation of this section of the State us the story unfolds in the District Attor ney's office. Yesterday Chief of Po lice Smith received Information that Swlshef, who is charged with having been married three times, has a fourth wife, a Miss Margaret John son, of Unityvilie, Columbia county. The information is that Swisher married the Unityvilie girl four years ago and then deserted her. The investigation by the North umberland county authorities brings to light the fact that two years after he married Miss Johnson he took as his bride Miss Margaret Stetler. of near Danville. He is charged with having deserted her and joined the National Guard of Pennsylvania as a private in Company I, Thir teenth Regiment, of Eioomsburg, when that unit went to Texas in 1916. The story goes that when the company came to Sunbury to guard bridges, Swisher took the name of "William B. Marshal, and courted Miss Margaret Summers, a comely Sunbury girl, who was barely 17 years old. He married her too, as though his two wed dings before were of no material matter to him. After his company went to Camp Hancock he turned up in Sunbury, but later disap peared. Last week a letter came to Chief of Police Smith from Howard A. Ford, British Vlc-Consul at Phila jdeljihia, telling of the wedding of Howard Franklin Swisher to an English girl. It asked information as to Swisher's other wives, saying the English girl wanted to get a di vorce. Swisher at the time of his ] wedding was serving in the Ameri can Army in England, It would ap pear from the letter. This would in'dicate that he was also a deserter from the army there, according to the police. After Swisher's company left Camp Hancock for France. Swisher, going under the name of Marshal, turned up in Sunbury. It was then his Danville wife learned he had married the Sunbury girl, the police chief says. Her father, a respect able farmer, came to Sunbury and caused his arrest. At a hearing before Justice Earl M. Roush, the Danville wife and the HALIFAX SEEKS A PUBLIC PARK Ownership by Railroad of the Canal Bed Presents an Objectionable Feature Halifax, Pa., Sept. 10.—Halifax Is planning to have a public park. Several meetings have been held, but no conclusion has been reached. The fitting up of a portion of the old river bank and old canal bed has been considered. It is claimed part of this at least is the property of the borough. The fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company claims large holdings there, whether legally or justly or Justly, interposes an ob jectionable feature. Some claim the old riparian deeds establish the claims of land owners to the ground as far as low water mark and that the abandonment of the canal as such caused it to revert to the orig inal owners, consequently to present owners along the river front. Thieves Pillage Houses and Haul Goods Away Waynesboro, Pa., Sept. 10. Thieves broke into the cottage of Frank Shiess, Scott Cunningham and Watson and Harry Stoner, on the Woodring farm, near Waynesboro, and carried off clothing, shoes, bed sheets, pillows and casings, comforts, silverware, kitchen utensils, etc. They made almost a clean sweep of everything portable.

The goods were badly scorched.

(Other State news- on Page 5) Sunbury wife confronted Swisher. He confessed. The Danville wife carried a baby in her arms. She said it was Swisher's, and that she expected another visit from the stork. The officer says he would visit her home at times and make her believe that his army life would not let him stay there. Swisher was held in default of ball for his ap pearance at the Northumberland County Court to answer a bigamy charge. In the meantime there was re ceived a notice from the authorities at Camp Meade saying that Swisher was wanted for being a deserter from the army. Figuring he would receive a heavier sentence for de serting In time of war, Swisher was taken to Camp Meade in July. Po liceman Raymond S. Quinn was summoned there to testify against him before a court mprtlal. and It was reported here that he had re ceived a sentence of three years in a military prison. To their surprise Swisher returned to Sunbury som£ three weeks later with a discharge from the army. He was not arrested, as the big amy charge had been dropped. His Sunbury wife was reluctant to prose cute because of the publicity she would get. The Danville wife had already started divorce proceedings, it is understood, and the Sunbury wife has employed counsel for that purpose. Swisher has since disap peared. and the police in Central Pennsylvania towns have been asked to look for him. In the meantime, the Danville wife, following the birth of their child, underwent an operation in a Danville hospital. Because of her state of mind, due to her trouble with Swisher, it was said to-day she is in a critical condition and may not recover. What amazes the police here Is how Swisher escaped with nothing but nn army discharge from the au thorities at Camp Meade. Swisher gave his age to the police as 3 2 years. He comes from near Blooms burg, it is understood, and while there, according to reports, was not much inclined to work. The police state that his fourth marriage can be substantiated and that it proves how easily women are persuaded into matrimony by a stranger with a gib tongue and uniform.
