BURGESS CONTINUES FIGHT
FOR EFFICIENCY IN FORCE
Wigfield Presents Facts to Borough Fa
thers cn Improving Patroiing Sys
tem so as to Oive All Sections of
Borough Adequate Protection
Burgess Wigtield had his second en
counter with the Borough Council last
evening in the effort to increase the
efficiency of the local police force by
the employment of members of the tire
patrol whenever any of the regular pa
trolmen are off duty. Wigtield deliv
ered a lengthy argument before the
boiough fathers last evening for the
i>enetit of President J. V/V. Reynders,
who had been ab-ent at a number ot
previous meetings.
Chairman Nelley, of the Police com
mittee of Councii, followed the Bur
gess and explained why he opposed the
gtanting of the extra men wanted, his
main objection being the expense of
these special officers and the danger of
having inexperienced men acting as po
licemen. The Seott case in Harrisburg
was used by the speaker as an illustra
tion where a man might usurp his au
tnoritv as an ofticer in handling a re
volver.
Millard F. Harlan, who has succeed
ed Frank A. Stees for the unexpired
term in the First precinct of the First
ward, took his seat in Council last
night.
The budget of finances for the pres
ent year was presented by i hair man
Reynders, of the Finance committee,
and shows an estimated balance at the
end of the veai 1915 of {3,755.12.
The balance on hand January 1. 1915,
was $43,227.12. and the estimated re
ceipts during the year 1915 are $131,-
410. The .-xpenses for the current year
are estimated at $170,582.
Among the larger amounts to be re
ceived are $38,850 for paving. $53,500
from taxes aud $35,000 for water
rents. The more striking figures includ
ed in the estimated expenses are:
$19,500. water: $1,750. storm sewers:
$1,400. sanitary sewers; $5,000, po
lice: $5,565, tire department; $9,300,
garbage: $7,400. street lights. $4,000,
health department: $14,435. interest on
bonds: $7,945. sinking fund; $65,235,
>aving: $12,000. municipal hospital.
The municipal band stand, which had
been carried nearly to its realization by
i ouncilman Stees before his retirement,
is provided for at an estimated cost of
$4 50.
The annual report of Fire Chief John
K. Shupp. Jr.. showed that fires han
dled by the borough volunteer firemen
during the past year resulted in a total
property loss of $12,633

On motion of Councilman Reiseh an
investigation will be made into sanitary
conditions in the upper end of Myers

were recently reported.
The annual report of the Board of
Health showed among its many de
tails that there were twelve cases of
typhoid fever reported in the borough

positively traced to outside causes and

Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo j
If you want to keep your hair in I
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soap* and prepared shampoos
contain to* much alkali. Thia dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ifc very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pare and en
tirely greaseleaa), is raueh better
than soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Bimply moisten your hair with |
water and rub it in. One or two j
i teaspoonfuls will make an abundance j
i of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses j
j the hair and scalp thoroughly. The ,
i lather rinses out easily, and removes 1
overv particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
' and excessive oil. The hair dries j
! quickly and evenly, and it leaves it |

BAD EGGS AND THE STAGE.
Psiting Unpopular Performers la a
Vory Ancient Custom.
The practice of hurling bad eggs at
actors who displeased them has been
In Togne -wi«h audiences ever aince
there has been a stage and a dramatic
production. Chinese. Greeks and Ro
mans ran to this sort of unfragrant
criticism, and two stories told by a
collector of odd things connected with
the theater are worth repenting.
A number of New York youths in
the fifties threw n number of bad eggs
at a pallid and trembling performer.
He advanced to the edge of the stage,
coromaiyled «llenee and said:
"Noble sirs, deign to throw me but
one good one—just one. I care not if
it break over me. 1 shall manage it. I
have oaten naught In two days. Pelt
me with good eggs. I beseech you."
The appeal gained him a basket of
good eggs by way of the back stage.
A man went to Shakespeare's the
ater in the day of the great bard to
throw bad eggs at an actor be dis
liked. Some one Jostled him unduly,
and he punched the jostler. The jostler
whipped him, however, and finally sat
him down in the bad eggs, which
broke. So the would be egg thrower
was thrown out because or the odor
and called a bad egg in the bargain.—

is coated. This is a sure sign that it's
little stomach, liver and bowels are
clogged with waste. When cross, irri

bad or has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore
throat, full of cold, give a teaspoonful
of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a
few hours all the constipated poison,
undigested food and sour bile gently
moves out of its little bowels without
griping, and vou have a well, playful
child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative," because
it never fails to cleanse the little one's
liver and bowels and sweeten the stom
ach and they dearly love its pleasant
taste. Full directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and for grown-ups

Beware of counterfeit fig syrnps. Ask

"California Syrup of Figs;" then see

after the pasrage of th e bill, in which
she said:
"We are greatly pleased by the
spirit of fairness which the House hss
shown in its vote on our bill. It is

the people of the State have expressed
vital interest. "

SENATE MAKES "UNCLE
HENRY'S" POSITION SECURE
"Uncle Henry" HoucJc. Secretary of
Internal Affairs, was happy this morn
ing. He stood in the cloak room door of
the Senate anil saw defeated by unani
mous vote the joint resolution to amend
the constitution bv abolishing the office
of Secretary of Internal Affairs.
This measure was introduced in the
Senate last night by Senator Snyder,
of Schuylkill, and there was some sur
prise because Senator Snyder has al
ways been a close friend of "Uncle
Henry," and it was hardly to be sup
posed that he would introduce a bill to
abolish "Uncle Henry's" office. This
surprise was increased when Senator
Snyder reported the measure favorably
and had it passed on first reading.
This brought it before the Senate this
morning on second reading. When it
was reached Senator Savder did a most
unusual thing. He demanded a "yea
find nay" vote on the passage of tie
measure on second reading. It was evi
dent that the entire transaction from
start to finish was for tfhe purpose of
Idling the bill, for the proposition to
abolish "I'ncle Henry's" office was de
feated by a unanimous vote, 0 to 47 —
the worst fate a constitutional amend
ment proposition ever mot with in the
Senate. Later Senator Snyder moved to
reconsider the vote by which the meas
ure was killed, and the Senator, know
ing that the defeat of this motion would
prevent tihe measure from again being
considered for the next three years. All
v</ted " no" aad the motion to recon
sider got 0 votes for and 46 against.
It is HOT dead as a door nail.
"Uncle Henry" stood in the Senate
door, his fare wreathed in smiles and
held quite a reception among the Sen
ators. who during a recess, went up to
congratulate hjm.

How He Looked
One summer when William M. Evarts
was at his country home in Windsor,
Vt., a farmer who had followed his
political career in the news|vapers for
mauv years was extremely anxious to
see him in the Ilesh and drove eighteen
miles into town in order to catch a
glimpse of his idol.
Senator Evarts at that time was be
ing entertained constantly, dining out
almost every night, and as he drove out,
of his grounds to an appointment one
evening the farmer was lying in wail
for him in the road. The latter, seeing
| the pale, ascetic face anil meager form
j of the famous statesman, was disap-
I pointed.
"Well, I declare," he exclaimed,
"looks as if he'd always hoarded!"

BE PRETTY! TURN
GRAYJAiR DARK
Look Young! Nobody Can Tell if Ton
Use Grandmother's Simple Becipa
of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp
and stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get ihiß mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! 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 this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.—Adv.
