CAPITOL ATTEMPT TO HAVE CATTLE EMBARGO LIFTED IN STATE Representatives ot Meat Firms Try to Induce State Officials to Continue Shipments From Districts Infected With Foot and Mouth Disease An unsuccessful attempt was made by live stock shippers yesterday after noon induce Dr. Marshall, head of the Live Stock Sanitary Board, to lift the embargo on the shipment of cattle from the districts infected with foot and month disease through Pennsylva nia. J. R. Brown, representing the cat tle shippers of Ohieugo, and W. M. Noves, of New York, representing Swift & Co., with Dr. Marshall, called on the Governor and Attorney General Brown, but the two ofliciols said that it rested entirely with Dr. Marshall to determine what was best to be done, and the State Veterinarian declined to change the order now existing. It was represented to Dr. Marshall that the Jews in *he Eastern States who depended on their meat supply through the cattle shipped from the West could not get sufficient because of the Pennsylvania embargo, all cattle from the West being shipped through Pennsylvania. They ottered to guaran tee that all cattle shipped til) rough Pennsylvania should be placed in sealed water-tight cars in order to prevent all da-nger of the spread of the disease, but Dr. Marshall was olwlurate and an nounced tihat the regulation would re main in force.

COCOANUT OIL FINE FOR WASHING HAIR If you want to keep your hnir 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 (which is pure and en tirely greasoless), 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, 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 ami 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 last everyone in the family for months. ONE SPOONFUL GIVES ASTONISHING RESULTS Harrishurg residents are astonished at the QUICK results from the simple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka. This remedy acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel and is so THOROUGH a bowel cleanser that it is used successfully in appendi citis. ONE SPOONFUL of Adler-i-ka relieves almost ANY CASE of consti pation, sour or gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after you take it, the gasses rumble and pass out. G. A. Gorgas, druggist, 16 North Third street and Pennsylvania Bailroad Station.—Adv. HAUGHTY SEMINOLES. They Don't Like Whit* Man and Wish Only to Ba Lat Alone. Many people In the northern states are unaware that there dwells in the fastness of the Florida Everglades oue of the most interesting and picturesque bands of American aborigines in the United States, known as the Seminole Indians, who are now as separate and distinct from the white race as when Columbus first held mass on the shores of Cuba. These are the remnants of the one time mighty nation of the Semlnoles. who defied the United States government for more than half n century and persistently refused col onization. While the numerous wars and forced emigration have reduced their numbers to a few hundred, their mode of living, dispositions and customs are in uiuny respects the same as when the haughty De Soto sailed Into Tampa bay iu 1533. ; The Semlnoles live to themselves, avoiding contact with the white race as much as possible and seldom If ever taking whites Into their confl- , dence, and on account of the almost ; Inaccessible nature of the country in which they live little Is known of their intimate home life. Unlike the Indians of the west, they persistently decline any assistance from the government saying in response to offers for their support, "We only wish to be let alone."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. ELECTRIC SPARKS. fiimpla Homemade Apparatus by Which They May Be Produced. The ordinary person either does not understand or is afraid of electricity and could scarcely be persuaded to manufacture It himself, and yet after all a little electrical experiment at home is both amusing and instructive. All that you have to do is to take a glass, expose it to the fire so that it shall be perfectly dry and place it up side down upon the table. AfterwaM take a tray, also perfectly dry, and p ce it upon the glass in such a w.i.i that It shall preserve its equilibrium. Finally take a sheet ot paper slightly smaller than the tray, heat it and rub It rapidly with a brush, and it will become quickly electrified. Then place It upon the tray. An electrical machine will thus have been constructed without any expense V the finger be brought near the tray a spark will appear. This spark will be so much the brighter and the series of sparks will be so much the longer In proportion as the glass and tray are drier. If. when the sparks are being drawn from the tray, the room in which the experiment is performed be darkened these sparks will appear extremely brilliant.—Pearson's Weekly. TREAT CANCER QUICKLY. "It It Not Surgery, but Delayed Sur gery, That Fails to Cure.' ; That cancer is at first a local growth and not a general disease of the sys tem is now clearly established. This fact Is of the utmost importance, since in holds out a high hope of cure If the malignant growth is removed before it has time to spread to other parts of the body. Cancer beginning in one spot later appears elsewhere, because small particles or cells are carried away from the first site and start other growths, not because there exists pre viously some poison In the blood which causes the disease to break out In different parts of the body. The great hope of cure, therefore, lies in remov ing cancer entirely from the system be fore It has a chanc* to spread from its first foothold. The reason why so mcn.v people came to believe that career was a blood disease is doubtless because It was observed to come again in the same or other parts of the body after having been apparently cut out It was natural to assume that when the disease kept coming back in this man ner there must be some cause or taint In the blood which led to its breaking out in different places much like cer tain skin diseases. The trouble which started this falla cious reasoning was that in those earlier days cancer was not so well understood as it now is. Surgeons then did the best they knew how, but without the advantages of modern methods they were unable successfully to exterminate the disease. The micro scope has now shown us the paths bv which cancer cells start their invasion of the body If the first and local ap pearance is neglected. Modern sur geons are. therefore, repeatedly suc cessful In removing the disease once for all. As an eminent American doctor has well said. "It is not surgery, but delayed surgery, that falls to cure." Sympathetic. "It's pretty hard to sleep on an emp ty stomach." said the tramp wearily to the hustling farmer's wife. "Why. you poor fellow!" she replied sympathetically. "Why don't you turn over and sleep on your back for a lit tle while? Ye hain't wore it out lyin' on it. hev ye?"— Judge. A Timesaver. "Those envelopes with the glass fronts ore great time savers, aren't they?" "Tou bet they are.
