StseiaI to The Telegraph

Gettysburg. Pa, March 19.-Mrs.
Edward Heltzel, wife of Mount Pleas
ant township farmer, committed sui

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
peos 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 entirely greaseless),
is much better than soap or
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough TO last everyone in the FAM
lily for months.-Advertisements.

.WOMAN'S HEALTH
REQUIRES CARE

Women are so constituted as to
be peculiarly susceptible to consti-
patton, and their general health de-
pends in large measure on careful
regulation and correction of this
tendency. Their delicate organisms
rebel at the violence OF cathartic
and purgative remedies. which,
while they may afford temporary
relief, shock the system and seri-
ously disturb the functional organs.
A mild laxative is far preferable
and, if properly compounded, much
more effective.

Never before have the frightful follies
of this fatal system been so clearly
revealed as now. The most civilized
and enlightened the most Chris
tion-of the nations of Europe are
graphing with each other as il in a
death struggle. They are sacrificing
the best and bravest of their sons on
the battlefield; they are converting
their gardens into cemeteries ana
their homes into houses OF mourning;
they are taxing the wealth of today
and laying a burden of debt on the
toll of the future: they have hlled
the air with thunderbolts more deadly
than those of Jove, and they have
multiplied the perils of the deep.
Adding fresh fuel TO the flame of hate,
they have daily devised new horrors,
until one side is endeavOring to drown
non-combatant men, women and chill
dren at sea, while the other side seeks
to starve non-combatant men, women
and children on land. And they are
so absorbed in alternate retaliauons
and in competitive cruelties that they
seem, for the time being, blind to the
rights of neutrals and deaf to the ap-
peals of humanity. A tree is known
by its fruit. The war in Europe Is
the ripened fruit of the old system.
What Firmness Means.
"That is what firmness, supported
by force, has done in the old world;
shall we invite it to cross the Atlantic?
Already the jingoes of our own coun-
try have caught the rabies from the
dogs of war: shall the opponents OF
organized slaughter be silent while
the disease spreads?

Respectfully,
(Signed) e. n. Johnston,


Major. Corps of Engineers.
Colonel George w. Sparks, of the
Street and Sewer Department, ex-
planned that the 1901 act was passed
because the then chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee at
Washington believed each city should
assist the Government and take care
of the sedimentation in its own
harbor.
Councilman Slower said that this
city had never failed TO meet its OBJ
legations and if the money was neces-
sary he would favor il being paid
but he could not understand why the
city should contribute one cent toward
the dredging Of mud from the Della
ware River. He also explained that
each year the finance committee as
certained from the United States En-
gineers in this district the amount of
money that was TO be appropriated by
the government for harbOr work here.
and the city allowed for its ten per
cent. appropriation in the budget. Had
there been a contract entered into be-
tween the government and this city
whereby this city was TO pay the
money he claimed the city had done
wrong i'm not paying the money In
stead the city had paid all the money
il owes 10 the government. Colonel
Slower claimed.
Councilman Draper agreed with
Colonel Stover's remarks. as did
Mayor Howell, but he thought there
