KENNEDY FAVORS REPEALER
Tells of Sentiment Against Full Crew
Law in Cumberland Valley

President NJ. G Kennedy, of the
Cumberland Valley railroad, to-day
gave the following statement in regard
to the position for the repeal of the
full crew bill:
In the State of Pennsylvania the
Cumberland Valley Railroad Company
employs, exclusive of those directly en-
gagged in train and yard service, 1,146
persons. After making the necessary
allowance for employees under age and
foreigners, LOIS have signed this pc
titien, being practically one hundred
per cent.
"ln addition to these employees,
6,031 citizens of Franklin and Cum
berland counties have so far signed the
petitions circulated in the interest of
the Cumberland Valley railroad. With
the similar petitions signed in other
parts Of the valley through the efforts
of those interested in the Pennsylva-
MIA, Philadelphia s. Reading and West.
ern Maryland companies, it is expected
that over so per cent. Of the entire
voting strength of Cumberland and
Franklin counties will have signed
these requests for the repeal of this
full crew bill.
"The Cumberland Valley railroad
has never hesitated to spend money to
provide all necessary improvements and
appliances to safeguard the lives of its
passengers, employees and of the pub
lie, and can be relied upon always to
man its trains with the necessary num-
ber Of employees"

How Thin People
| Can Get Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physicians Advice

"I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible, despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of mal-nutri-
tion, condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are when
the powers of nutrition are normal In
stead of getting into the blood, all the
fat and flesh producing elements stay
in the intestines until they pass from
the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy normal amount Of fat
the nutritive processes must be artifi-
cially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can best
be accomplished by eating Sargol tab
let with every meal. Sargol is a scien-
tific combination of six of the best
strengthening, fat-producing elements
known to the medical profession. Taken
with meals, it mixes with the food and
turns the sugars and starehes into rich,
ripe nourishment for the tissues and
blood and its rapid effect is remarkable.
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm
less Sargol is sold by G. A. Gorgas
and other good druggists everywhere
and every package contains guarantee
OF weight increase or money back.
Caution:-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment Of nervous indigestion and general
stomach disorders, it should not, owing
to its remarkable flesh producing effect,
be used by. those who are not willing to
increase their weight ten pounds or
more.--Adv.

COURT HOUSE
some Will lose BOUNTY
Magistrates Errors Deprive q Number
Of Hunters From Rewards on
Noxious Animals

Because of technical errors, due it
is said to faulty preparation Of afii-
davits by the aldermen and justices, a
large number of the claimants who sent
bills to the Dauphin County Commits
sioners for bounties for killing noxious
birds and animals will not be allowed.
Something like seventy two claims for
approximately 5000 were settled by the
Commissioners this morning while a
score or more others were put in the
class of payment refused"
In those cases where the claims will
not be paid the alderman or Justice
who made affidavit that he destroyed
"the particular bird or animal for
which the bounty is sought" neglected
to set out the name of disinterested
eleetor who it is required shall witness
the burning or mutilation of the pelt.
The magistrates certified to those
facts in all of the cases but they sub
mitted as a witness the name of the
person who is seeking the bounty. That
is considered by County Solicitor OFT,
to be failnre to come within the re-
quirements of the laws, anil if the
claim is paid by the county, it will be
in danger of not getting reimburse
ment from the State.

IT RUINS HAIR TO
WASH IT WITH SOAP

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 alkai. 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), 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. 1t 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 coeoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the
family for months.
