OPPOSES A TAX Asks Court to Decide Whether It Must Pay on Steam Heat Business Disclaiming liability for a part of the State tax levy made by the Audi tor General, the Harrisburg Light and I Power Company has appealed to the Dauphin county court asking that tribunal to determine whether the State shall Ibe paid $2,479:56, the full amount levied by the Auditor General, or $2,16^5.91, the amount which the company has offered to pay. The dispute arose out of the ques tion of whether the Light Company is required to pay a tax on the g'roes earnings of the Harrisburg Steam Heat and Power Company, whose business has been acquired by the electric con cern. The steam heat company prior to consolidation, did not pay a State tax, it is alleged, and it is' held the light company cannot be taxed for that business now.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much . alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil; (which is pure and greaseless) it Is cheaper and better than soap or any thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough ly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil ' (it must be mulsified, plain cocoa- i nut oil will not do) at any phar- } mac.v, and a few ounces will supply ! every one in the family for months, j 16, following an operation for appen dicitis. Miss Liggett, with her sister, Miss Minnie Isabel Liggett, was teaching in the Tsing Hua government college, in Peking, and had beeu there a little over four years.
