The best thing to use is just plain mnlsiiied eocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely grenseless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or any- , thing e! t; all to pieces. You can ge.t | this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a tea spoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh , looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

For many years numbers of resklients of this section of the city have believed they have not received the same consideration from Councils in the matter of city improve ments that other sections of the city have received. Whether this is true or not of the past we are thoroughly con vinced that our city ■get in touch with the railroad people at this time so that this 'bridge may be of some benefit to the public at large as well as the employes of the railroad company. Undoubtedly thia is the primary mo tive for the construction of a foot bridge by the railroad company and insofar as it goes is a worthy one, but it is not meeting the sentiment that ■was experienced through the West Enll Improvement Association for a subway. The people of the West End have be come convinced that for park privilege and playgrounds they must look to Wildwood park. They have not been unmindful of the natural beauty as well as the possibilities that are offered there as an outing spot. The question of expenso for proper approaches, walks aad playgrounds have always been considered and accepted as suf ficient reasons for niielav, but withi the beginning by tho railroad company of a structure for the purpose of eliminat ing the dangers of a grade crossing for their employes we believe some consid eration should be given to the pro nounced wishes of the people for better facilities to get to Wildwood, and if for economic reasons the railroad com pany feels that it cannot construct a subway at this time, then the subject should be taken up by the city authori ties and the bridge built so that it will serve the dual purpose of being a bene fit to the workmen as well as their wives an i children. Tn the latter we are especially interested in securing for them a proper crossing. Such a foot bridge without easy ap proaches would be useless to them for the Western End. Doubtless the com pany could be prevailed upon to erect an easy approach, but the Eastern End by reason of the height of the railroad above the park would result in an ele vation of about fifty feet above .the road (hat skirts the park'and about sixty feet above the paile level. It would require approximately seventy five steps to descend from the bridge. Can you wonder at a feeling of re sentimeut being aroused at such a make shift? To correct this we believe it would be but fair to the people of this section of the citl that City Council should continue the foot bridge across fhe swamp and creek to a point near the driveway in the park. Constructed of steel on concrete footings, the cost would not greatly exceed the building of a brklge and constructing a road*bed through the marsh as is now proposed, but should the expense be greater the benefit obtained would be of so much greater vniue that it would justify the city in doing so. With the walk frojm Mac lav -treet along Paxton creek im proved and a few benches scattered along it a modern foot bridge at Di vision street with proper approaches, the West End would have brought within their reach one of the finest out ing spots in Central Pennsylvania.

Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur and Brush It Through Your Hair, Taking One Strand at a Time When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be cause it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and drdw this, through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another ap plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy anil lux uriant. You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all de sire a youthful and attractive appear ance, get busy at quce with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look year's yobnger.—Adv. |i TRAVELING j!

With a cold March wind blowing, snow lying in a number of places, he counted eleven species of song birds. With the coming of warm er weather the robins, bluelbird, black birds and red-wiuged "blackbirds that are here now in small numbers will in crease to hundreds, to be followed later by the meadow lark, fox sparrow, yel low warbler, catbird, wren and brown thrush. All these and' numlbers of oth er kinds will occupy the beautifully shaded walks and lanes of lower Wild wood. The city authorities and rail road company can confer no greater privilege on the people of the tipper end of the city than to construct and improve these two approaches into Wildwood for the benefit of the travel ing public. Very Truly, Resident of the West Eud. TO BLOCK PLAFFORCTNG PAID FIRE DEPARTMENTS Objection Raised to a Feature of Wal ton Bill Proposing Civil Service, and It Is Referred to Committee For Amendment Objection to the Walton bill pro posing civil service for police and tire departments in third ciass cities in Pennsylvania—of which llarrisburg is one—oll the contention that a provi sion of the measure made it practically mandatory for cities to establish paid lire departments caused that measure, which has beein on the postponed cal endar of the House for some time, to be recommitted to the Municipal Cor porations committee for the purpose of amendment last night. This feature, according to Representative Wildman, will be eliminated from the bill. Its chances of passage are considered much better with that part of the bill taken out. Volunteer firemen's organizations throughout the State have gone on rec ord as beiiatjf a.gainst any such provi sion and there would have been objec tion to the bill on that ground. With a view to permitting third class cities to have paid fire depart ments, only in event of the cities de siring them, Representative Wildman will have the Legislative Reference Bureau looto into the constitutionality of a plan which would provide for a refereindum vote on the subject. If such a plan is constitutional it is likely Wildman will introduce a bill embodying it in this session of the Legislature. The question of a paid fire department will be put up to the electors on a "yes" or "no" vote under his plan. The Wildman bill will be a new one and in no way connected with the Walton bill proposing civil service in the police and fire depart ments in third class cities.
