LIGHT CO. 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.

CENTENARIAN DIES AT HOME
Attributed Simple Life and Hard Work
for Remarkable Vitality
Shippensburg, Pa., May 21.—Mrs.
Abigail Atherton Simms, one of the
few genuine centenarians, died at the
Brethren Home for the Aged, near here.
Hail she lived until August she would
have been 101 vears old.
Abigail Simms was probably the
most extraordinary old woman in the
country, having celebrated her 100 th
birthday in exceptionally good health
and had never had any sickness worthy
of mention until after she had passed
the century mark. She was born on a
farm adjacent to this town in August,
1814, but passed most of her years in
town. She was familiarly known as
"Mother" Simms.
Her long life and remarkable vitality
she attributed to hard work and simple
living.
For many years "Mother" Simms
had had strong hopes of reaching the
century mark by maintaining that
"simple life" which marked her earlier
life. The occasion was celebrated by a
reunion of relatives and friends. She
was a member of the Methodist church.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
SPENT! STOMACH
Pennsylvania Man Gets Quick Remedy
for His Long Suffering
Stomach
Henry F. Curry, of the Hotel Bart
lett at Cambridge Springs, Pa., suf
fered most desperately from ailments
of the stomach and digestive tract for
years. He spent a fortune in the pur
suit of health.
At last he happened to discover
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. He found
relief quickly. Mr. Curry wrote:
"I have spent thousands of dollars
for doctors and medicine and hardly got
temporary relief, and before I took your
medicine I was about discouraged. But
after taking your medicine I got great
relief. My mental and physical suffer
ing had been BO bad that I had to resort
to morphine, and even with that I did
not get much relief. Your remedy
helped me wonderfully. I have a good
appetite, sleep well, and have gained
weight."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle oft your druggist now and try it
on an absolute guarantee—if not satis
factory money will he returned.—Adv.

THE USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR
Soap should be used very sparing
ly, if at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. 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. She wae a graduato
of the Carlisle High school, attended
Dickinson Preparatory school and
Dickinson College for four years, Drex
el Institute for one year and before
going to China taught mathematics at
the Indiana Pennsylvania State Nor
mal school. She was a meinibcr of the
Delta Chapter of the Chi Omega Sor
ority. She was also a member of tho
Methodist church of this place.

CAN LEVY ON MAX'S BOOTS
Ruling In .Labor Claim Against Rose
Tree Member
Media, May 21.—You can sell a
man's iboots in this -State to pay a
labor claim, and the exemption law
cannot save him paving the bill. This
was decided by Judge Isaac Johnson
in an opinion handed down in a suit
brought by Thomas E. Frazier against
St. George Bond, a member of the
Rose Tree Fox Hunting Cluib.
Frarier was employed as inan-of-all
work by Bond and worked for five
months. He was to bo (>aid S2O a
month, and at the end of five months
he quit because, as he said, he had been
paid no wages. He brought suit before
a magistrate and obtained judgment.
Execution was taken on personal prop
erty, but all except riding boots, rid
ing coats, driving gloves and men 'a
clothing was claimed by. Mrs. Bond.
Shoriff John Heyburn, Jr., upon ad
vice of counsel, refused to levy on tho
clothing. The matter was taken before
the court on a rule to show cause why
the defendant's claim for exemption
should not be disallowed, and the court
ruled that under tho law there is no
exemption when a debt is for manual
labor.

(Special to the Star-Indapendent.)
Hudson, 0., May 21. —Led by rep
resentative women, one Ohio village ha -
decided to treat the visiting motorist as
an honored guest. Tourists who have
become gun shy from encounters with j
village "constables" are expected to
faint with surprise when they reach
Hudson.
A rest room has been provided in
the Ellsworth building, apposite the
clock tower. Here any itinerant
stranger may sit, lounge or write to his
heart's content. Every convenience for
the tourist's comfort is provided and
the ladies of the Hudson Horn? Circle
take turns in acting as hostess. Later
a> regular attendant may be hired.
Hudson is a particularly appropriate
point for such an enterprise. It is lo
cated on a brick paved highway, forty
miles in extent, which stretches south
from Cleveland, through Akron, to Bar
berton and is expected, eventually, to
reath Columbus. Hundreds of vehicles
ijaily pass over this route. Hudson, a*
a sort of half-way station, is a most
convenient stopping point for those who
do not care to make the journey in a
single run.
Money to equip the rest room was
secured by subscription and by a benefit
concert. Among those active in the
work were Mrs. P. F. King, Mrs. W.
Corbusier, Mrs. Thoma« Blackburn,
Mrs. Arthur Bentel, Mrs. Maria Shields
and Mrs. Kay Miller. "It was easy to
get the money," said Mrs. Miller, "as
soon as the town caught the idea. They
all saw that it was much better to have
the good opinion of the scores of people
who pass through Hudson than to have
them avoid or <l«ride our town. Almost
everybody gave, the Cleveland Auto
mobile Club included. One Cleveland
manufacturer donated a heating stove."
Hudson has, for years, enjoyed a
reputation as a town of ideals. It has
been helped in this regard by a former
resident, W. L. Ellsworth of New York,
who has donated schools and public im
provements liberally to his old neigh
bors.
DARNELL GETS THREE YEARS
"Marrying Parson" Sentenced to
Leavenworth Prison
Chicago, May 21. —The efforts of I
.lames Morrison Darnell, "the marry
ing parson," to get a new trial were
denied yesterday by Federal Judge
Geigor, in Milwaukee. Darnell was ,
sentenced to three years in the Fed
eral prison at Leavenworth, Kan., for
"white slavery."
The specific charge against him was [
the transportation of Ruth Sopor, a "
former University of Chicago student, '
from her home in Owatonna, Minn., to
Chicago; and thence to Kenosha, Wis.
The girl, whom he made several at- !
tempts to marry since the first up
heaval that ousted him from his Ken
osha pastorate, was the chief, though 1
an unwilling, witness against him.
DarniVl's experience included his
marriage to Miss Doris Vii.nghn, 17
years old, 4301 Oakenwald avenue,
Chicago; his subsequent removal to
Kenoshi, where lie introduced Ruth
Super as his wife; his divorce from
Doris Vaughn Darnell, and finally his J
arrest and trial for violation of the ,
Mann act, Ibecausu of his relations
with Miss Sopor.
