When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap
; Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
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 Bigger West End Bridge
Editor, the Star-Independent:
Dear Sir:—The nuuouuced purpose
of the Pennsylvania Railroad to build
a foot- bridge over its tracks at Division
street and thereby give a new entrance
to Wild wood park does uot entirely
meet with the approval of al> the peo
ple of the West Jfind. 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.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR_GRAY HAIR
Try This! 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.

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.
