BRODBRCK'S FKiHTOFF
Congressman Withdraws Contest for
Beale's Seat
York. Pa.. Feb. 17. —Congressman A.
B. Brj.ibeek. of Hanover, the Demo
cratic Representative of the York-
Adams district, yesterday verified pre
dictions by withdrawing his contest of
the election of C. William Beales. Re
publican. of Gettysburg, who defeated
liim last November. Hearings to have
been held at Huuterstown, Adams coun
ty, yesterday in behalf of the contest
ant. and in York to-dav for the con
tesrtee were called off. The two coun
ties had been in a ferment over the
contest, though little of the testimony
produced was of a sensational nature.
In reply to a petition from promi
nent Democrats asking him to discon
tinue the tight. .Mr. Brodoeck, it is
said, stated that he was prompted to
do so on account of difficulty he had
experienced in se.uring testimony. He
charges that the witnesses on whom he
depended to show fraudulent practices
at the polls have been influenced to
withholl what they know. Some wit
nesses. he declares, were approached
after they had been subpoenaed, and
others have been subjected to antjoy
an -es after testifying. His particular
desire in the contest, be assents was
to correct e-xisting election conditions
in the district.
It is generally expected that the
criminal prosecution institute} against
Congressmar. Brodbeck in be-half of
Beales. alleging corruption of a federal
employe, will be dropped.

IT WAS A NICE STEAK
And the Emergency Chef Thought His
Cooking Improved It
'' My. but I d like a big. juicy
steak," saiil Patrolman Timothy- Sul
livan. smacking his lips.
"I'm with you." echoed Policeman
John !?mith. *
"And I'll get the steak if some
body'!] ,-ook it."' said Policeman
George Moss, who happened to be in
the South Chicago station at the time.
The steak was brought and Police
man Leslie Fisher offered to act as
chef. He took the thick pieces of beef
down to the old stfve in the basement
of the station on which patrolmen on
night duty prepare •'emergency grub."
A short while later Fisher placed
the steaming steak in front of Tim.
George and John. After a large por
tion of the steak had disappeared in
great gulps Tim, frothing at the mouth,
expressed his opinion, of Patrolman
Fisher between hiccups. And each
hiccup was accompanied by a creamy
spurt of lather. John, with one hand
to his mouth, dragged Fisher to the
stove and smelled the frying pan.
"Which can of grease d-did you
use" he spluttered.
Fisher pointed to a can on the shelf.
John looked at it and blanched.
"S-soft e-soap." he cried, spitting
si'ds.
"As a e-eook you'd make a good
b-barber." frothed Tim. "We wanted
a (hie) ni meal, not a shampoo."
"Well, no one has ever complained
of my laundered steaks before," ar
gued Fisher, with a twinkle. "You
see soap"—
He ducked out of the door just as
a frying pan and a can of soft soap
crashed against the jambs.—Chicago

At the conclusion of the argument
Judge GiUan said that in no county ot
the Mate has the law been administer
ed more in keeping with both the spirit
and letter ot the law than in this coun
ty. He added:
"In Russia liquor has been abolished
by imperial edict, the ruler bejug the
Lzar. He can do that, and no one can
say him nay. This is what some people
want us to do; but we are not a Czar.
We live in democratic America, not in

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
. the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil I which is pure and en- '
tirely greaseless), is much better
than soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
j 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 j
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
; cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
i last' everyone in the family for
months. J

townshp farmer and tobacco grower, a
i mile northeast oi this place. Return
ing home from assisting a neighbor
ill housecleaiiing, Mrs. Krumbine was
hrst surprised to note the absence of
her husband, then horrified to find his
I body lying on the floor of the tobacco
shed in the rear of the farmhouse. He
had shot himself in the absftice of his
! wife and the three younger children,

Knowing that he could not meet sev

that day, Krumbine acted on the im
pulse of the Aioment. He used a re
volver, sending a bullet through his
brain.
Krumbine was a customer of the
First National bank, of this place, the
financial troubles'of which have figured
| largely in the public eye since the sui

Uriah B. Horst, president of the j
hank, is a near neighbor of Krumbine
and was stunned by the news of the
suicide. While admitting that Krum
bine had been a customer of the bank,
j President 'Horst deciared that he would
j rather not say anything concerning any
j note transactions which Krumbine
: might have had with it. \

Raymond Hitchcock ! i
Who is the funniest man on the 1

Hitchcock, of course. That is the only
answer. To see this'prince of comedi
ans is to laugh, no matter horn* much of
a grouch you may have gathered unto 1
yourself in the course of a hard day's 1
grind. To begin with, Raymond Hitch-1 ]
cock has a funny personality. The ac-j (
tor himself says that people laugh at. 1 1
him because he has Xapolenic hair audi !
a frog voice. This, and Hitchcock's
ability to deliver funny lines with an;
unctuousnefts that is inimitable, has
made him one of the most popular stars!
of the times, probably the most popular j
on the American stage.

visit and is to bring along a brand.new j

"The Beauty Sliop" is a typical]
Hitchcock vehicle, full of good comedy;
lines, pretty girls, music and dancing, j
as well as much scenic splenlbr.
This is all that "Hitehie's" myriad!
friends need to be told about this show, i
They 11 all be in front and a rare treat
is in store for them.
"The Beauty Shop" comes to the
Majestic next Tuesday evening.—

At the Orpheum ,
In glancing over the choice Keith ;
| plums supporting the Four Marx Broth-1
ers and company in their pretentious j
| musical comedy at the Orpheum this i i
i week, one can't overlook Van and I '
jSchenek, the monarchs of song, whop
, seem more popular this week than ever
i bofore. Van ami l . SchencQc are two)'
■ young fellows, who have splendid voices 1
and the haippy faculty of infusing au , 1
originality into their work, that brands ; >
. them quite unique from amy act of thoM
kind we have seen. Whether they are J 1
harmonizing *n new hits or old favor- j <
, ites. Van and Sehenck always score aM
, i hit rock solid on account of their fine' l
; melody and pleasing manner in the;!
. rendition of their songs. One of them ; 1
is a pianoxplayer of marked albility and i 1
his partner is a.comedian. If the songl
.i is a comedy- number, Gus Van makes j1
•, the most of it ami wins the laughs ■ 1
without any ridiculous makeup. Gus \ 1
V.an is a real comedian and he doesn't J:
need 'em. i <
This duo is popular in every city 1 '
where high class Keith vaudeville is to I
| be found. And they are especially popu- 1
j lar in Harrisburg. Despite the fact
that the Orpheum's bill is unusually :
(clever and therefore eliciting much ap
plause, it can be truthfully admitted
. j that Van and Schenek walk away with!
I the bill'B big noise. They are singing
jail the songs that goes with their new 1 1
j act and 1 up to tie present time Orphe-1!
, | um auiliences have demanded all their ]
encores at performance. The Four.i
i Marx Brothers and Company in "Home :
■ Again" with a company of sixteen and '
• four distinct stage settings, is the '
most pretentious act the Orpheum has I
seen. Incidentally, it is the most clever. ]

At the Colonial •
The most popular trail in town is the

Regent
The Paramount Program presented
so far this week has more than justified
the prediction of the management of
this theatre, namely, that "better
things were vet to come." In the pre
sentation of "Ijittle Mary Pickford,"
in " Behin.".' tuc Scenes," it se?ms that
the height of refine I and high-class
film plays have been reached. This
| coupled with the best equipment for the
| ;
exhibition on the market renders the
exhibition, as presented, ideal, to say
the least.
To-day and to-morrow will be pre
sented "His Last Dollar," a strong
dramatic play, featuring David Higgins,
supported toy a company of highly-tal
ented players. An iuteresting film play
that holds you from first to last, and
the contrast between the different
scenes gives the play a variety of ap
peal that is certain to insure a wide
and remarkable following.—Adv. *
Controversy on Kellerman Film
Boston, Feb. 17.—Annette Keller
man 's film appearance at Maiden has
divided tthe society women of the city
into hostile camps. The larger group
of women declare that certain features
of "Neptune's Daughter" are immod
est and a formal protest has been
lodged with Acting Mayor Rabbins.
"I do not think the high school
boys and girls ought to be offered the
opportunity to see such things," de
clared Mrs. Ralph M. Kirtland, presi
dent of the Maiden Women's Civic
League. Slhe was supported in this
statement, by a dozen other Maiden
women whose words have weight in
that community.
Mrs. William Blakeley, wife of May
or Blakeley, after a look at the pic
tures, said: "I told my husband the
pictures were all right."
Judge Bruce, of the Maiden court,
and Mrs. Bruce attended the show.
The Judge said:
"(Miss Kellerman's figure is beauti
ful enough to lead other women to
envy and jealousy. A moral ig_ taught
in that love and purity triumph."—

A MAN AND HIS WORK
Without Interest in the Task Efficiency
Is Never Attained
A man's luck is as hard as adamant
if he is not in love with) the work he
does as with a maid he woos. It is a
miserable thing to care for one's occu
pation merely because it shuts out the
"thoughts that burn like irons if you
think." Any traMe or profession you
could nanne is a poor affair if it is but
a time killer, a sitap gaip, an cipiate, the
ballast of the dirigible life. Y'ou hear
a man start his work with a faint tap
at "ia cilock stroke, and you hear him
drop it with a loud thud at another
clock stroke, and you know his soul
and his braiin are not alive in the thing
that he is doing. WhyT A thousand
men are a thousand reasons why.
Any man who can be accurately stig
matized as efficient (dreadful world'!)
brings all of himself to the task in
hand. He brings not merely his sixth
sense and his fourth dimension to bear
on h'is concerning handful, but every
bit o«f vital electricity in the storage
batteries of his whole beting. When he
has done his level best he is, as we
ironically say, "played out," and he is
supposed to take a rest, which may as
sume the form of harder labor than
ever in a wholly different field of en
ijleavor.
In fact, the man who has formed the
habit of work is never haippy to be idle.
It is no use to extend to him the pros
pect of complete hiatuis in the name of
a vacation. The program of the null
and void would assure him an acute
uneasiness. There is a saying tKat na
ture abhors a vacuum. So real
live man, of nature.—Philadel
phia Ledger.
A Matter of Trade
An American merchant in Guate
mala had a rich customer who wanted
two dozen ties exactly like the one he
wore. The order was sent to a maker
in the United States, who answered
that those ties were out of date, and
sent two dozen of the latest style.
They were not wanted. The merchant
then ordered two dozen in Germany,
where they were made just as desired.
