Mechanicsburg. Pa, Jan. 2i.-LarSe
delegations of visitors at the taber-
nacle last evening lent Il special inter-
est to the meeting. Milltown came in
large numbers; Bowmansdale was rep
resented: the Rev. Mr.. Raachs Bible
class of the Church of God came in a
body. and the businesswomen of Me
chanicsburg had a reservation. Pre-
vious to coming to the tabernacle a
luncheon was served to the latter in
the Presbyterian Church, where about
$50 women gathered and enjoyed Il So
oial hour with entertainment by the
Miller party. y Bible reading was
given in the afternoon by Mrs. Bow
man at the home of Miss Rec Zug to
the unemployed women. At the taher-
nacle in the evening a pleasing feature
was the presentation of huge bunch
of pink carnations by employees of the
shirt factory to the eVangelistic party.
Before the sermon prayer was offered
by the Rev L. ]. Huggins. Jesus at
the Door Knocking was the theme
of the Rev. Mr. Miller last evening
and in response TO his appeal penitents
came forward until thirty-siX had con-
fessed their desire to lead a new life.
Cheers went up from all parts of the
house when II. 4. Baum. who superin-
tended the building of the tabernacle,
pushed to the front and srasped Mr..
Miller's hand. During the musical
program an impressive scene was the
singing by the choir of Lead, Kindly

Burns, Cuts, Bruises
San Cura Ointment Relieves Pain
Draws Out Poison and
Heals PPOtnntIy

There is no better remedy for
burns, cuts and bruises than the anti
septic and healing ointment called San

!, Every person ought to have a jar
on hand; it is the first and best aid to
the Injured in case of accident. and
is the ideal remedy for so many other
distressing and painful ailments be-
sides.

matter how long standing, a few poul-
tices of San Cura Ointment will draw
out the poison, and leave them in such
a thoroughly aseptic condition that
they will heal promptly.
We advise every reader to get 5aI
of San Cura Ointment today, and keer

that may happen. 20 cents and 90

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair
in good condition, the less soap
you use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos 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 any
thing else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can't possibly in
jure 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 mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the
family for months.

/" ANTS" ARE READY

[Continued from First Page.l

in Congress the suffragists are more
afraid than ever of the popular vote.
Why. right now. in New York, it is the
ants who are pleading for It to be
sent to the voters, and the suffragists,
who want to defeat its submission as
a distinct issue in order to cover it
up with blanket amendments and slip
it through as they say. while the
voters are not looking. The suffs' are
afraid of the voters since Novem-
Der 8.
How about Pennsylvania? Well,
YOU know Congress. has Just decided
that each State, must determine this
thing for itself,S and the legislature,
competent. to decide a consti-
tutional amendments ought ito sbe
able to handle the question from the
facts and figures in THE case showing
that the overwhelming majority of
women do not want to vote; and de-
eide the issue as they would any other
legislation, on it's merits and effects,
in accordance with popular sentiment.
''Will Win at Polls
But. of course, If the legislators
are too timid to say where they stand
on the woman question, and sidestep II
by sending 1t to the voters. We have
already perfected a nucleus organ
ization to carry it into every legis-
lative district of the State and win at

Wisconsin. Ohio. Missouri, Nebraska,

men have wives. sisters. mothers and
daughters to ask about this you know
and that's what beats woman suf-
frage.
"The suffragists tried to take 1t away
from the voters altogether by q ma
tional amendment: so [ believe the
legislators justified in deciding it on
the evidence i'm the recent election
that the majority of the people are
against woman suffrage, or ask the
women in their districts-and then
come out on it themselves. instead of
shifting to the voters. and keeping the
