EXTENDS CAMPAIGN HERE.

EXTENDS CAMPAIGN HERE.
Definite announcement was made by
Mr. Sunday at yesterdays services that
he would continue to preach In the Phila-
delphia tabernacle for four more weeks,
thereby extending the local campaign to
10 weeks.
When Billy" made the announcement
there was deafening applause. One man
jumped up and called for him to stay
here six months, and then there came
other calls. some persons yelling for him
to stay here a lifetime. The evangelist
explained that in order to lengthen the
Philadelphia revival it would be necessary
for him to change his plans to speak in
one of the cities during his schedule for
the next year.
Mr.. Sunday preached three strong SER
mons yesterday, and at the close of each
there was a rush of trail hitters." In the
morning when he preached on "Geth-
esmane," 319 men and women declared
their faith in Christ and took seats in the
glory rows" Both the afternoon and
evening services were for men only. At
the former there were 414 converted. and
in the evening 449 men hit the sawdust
trail"
Prominent among those who took the
evangellsts hand in the afternoon were
about a score OF men who were present
with a delegation from the A. ]. DreXel
Biddle Bible Classes Mr. Biddle was
present, and did much personal work
among the men, and escorted most of
them to the platform where they were re-
celyed by the evangelist. There we're also
large delegations present representing
Bible classes organized by the Rev.
George G.. Downey in South Philadelphia
and ManRyunk, and a big delegation of
EVENING LEDGER men ATTENDED in a body.
Among the afternoon converts were two
tyOt 70, st,,I fhnt
sand persons were unable to crowd into
the tabernacle at the afternoon and eve
ming services. Among them were many
persons who had come to the city from a
distance for the express purpose of hear
ing the evangelist Many women came
expecting to hear him preach in the after
noon or evening, and were disappointed
when they found that the sermons were
for men only.
At both the afternoon and evening serv-
ices BILLY" preached on The Judg-
ment" Previous to the opening, of the
sermon in the afternoon there was a stir
ring scene in the tabernacle when large
delegation OF Indian students from the
Carlisle School jumped to their feet and
gave their school yells. They had come |
to the city to see the basketball game on |
night between their team and |
that of the University of Pennsylvania.
Before the evangelist arrived, "Rodey'' |
called upon them to stand and give their
cheers. and before starting to preach |
billy" greeted them and spoke highly OF |
Indians and of some OF their leaders. He |
mentioned Chief Bender. Thorpe, Meyer
and SooSalexis. of baseball fame, and
then he told of the time he visited
out In Kansas, and explained
his pleasure in having grandson of
Great Chief Geronimo listed among his

Continues Career Of
Bookworm in Washington

A thrifty, studious life has since
continued the saving practice, and
investment In real estate has
proved safe and moderately re-
munerative.
Burton's step into public life
occurred when he consented to be
candidate for the city council in
the fourth ward of Cleveland in
1886.
AS alderman he proved to be
one of those useful implements in
practical politics--a fellow who Is
willing to do the research and
desk work, and to supply prece-
dents and parliamentary lore on
call. For faithful service he was
promoted to a congressional nom =
ination by the machine and was in
congress, except when defeated a
couple of terms by Tom l.. John
son, until year ago. when he de-
cided not to run again for the
senate.
In the house and later in the
senate, Burton was the same stu
dious, absent minded, bookworm
AS chairman of the river and har-
bors committee he became a mine
of technical information garnered
from engineers reports and visits
to the places.
AS holder of the pork barrel
purse strings, he was courted and
feared and later when the pork
barrel became a democratic party
function, Burton, as a member OF
the republican minority, achieved
fame and favor by drawing on his
large experience to show up some
of the particularly rotten gratis
which were being perpetrated BY
the southern democrats under the
name of waterway improvements

Burton, Bachelor at 81 and Safe and Sane, Is
Main Bloom In @. O. P.'s Presidential dollhouse
Tuesday, Sept. %, 1916.

Theodore e. Burton of Ohio,
who recently visited Tacoma, to-
day is the most likely candidate
for the republican presidential
nomination. He. is coming into
the Root strength. Roots age
and record are gradually putting
him out of the running.
The conservative business inter-
ests, sometimes called wall
Street." are casting a friendly eye
on Burton.
II Root were 10 years younger,
and a bit more of a popular hero,
they would prefer him. He was
the choice Of the late Senator
.Aldrich and is still the choice of
William Barnes.
But the more astute republican
leaders recognize the need for a
man who can go into the middle
west or west and make some head
way in a popular primary.
Theodore Elijah Burton has a
record Of 20 years of public life.
The public knows him.
In his votes and speeches he
has shown what he is as a public
man and the publicity which
shines on senators and such has
shown something also of Buttons
personal characteristics.

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, If at all, II you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too iuuch alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and grease
less), and is better than soap vr
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the. hair
with water and rub 1t in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every. particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly.
and 1t leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright,
lustrous, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. it's very
cheap. and few ounces will sup.
ply every member of the family

in the famous commentaries.
When other boys were playing
baseball, Theodore Elijah was CIV
ing an imitation for the benefit
of the family cat of father con-
Quoting religious service. So
when Theodore grew up and had
gone through Grinnell and Ober-
lin colleges, It was natural that he
should study at theological SEM
mary. He was by family tradi-
ton destined for the church.
But underneath the solemn and
studious exterior, unknown per-
haps to his early friends and as
sociates, there lurked in I. Bur
ton some leaven of wordliness and
when it came time to choose
pastorate he chose to study law.
He went to Chicago and studied
in Lyman TrumbulPs office,
whence he returned to Cleveland
and began in 1875 to specialize on
the handling of estates in probate.
1t was that first year he laid the
foundations of a competence
(perhaps s200,00O) by saving
most of his $4,000 earnings.
