Fish Would Have

Any Other Name

In pleading guilty this morning in
Dauphin county court to nearly a
dozen charges of G stealing, Henry
Baker, 20-year-old negro, casually
explained how he, too, had found that
certain things aren't always what they
seem.
Baker had been arrested by Cor
poral Curtis Davies of the State police
department after the negro had lived
pretty well for several months by
filching butter, eggs milk, cold meats,
and so on from refrigerators all over

In making the rounds one night,
however, he stopped at the porch of
Captain George i. Lumb, assistant su-
perintendent of the State police. Sew
eral things were stored on the porch
and one of them at least was such as
to make Baker lift his head and sniff
and sniff in the darkness. He thought
it was fish. A little later he opened
the box

attorney.
Whale-oil soap, sab" said Baker
gravely.
President Judge -Kunkel sent Baker

California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm children and
thew love it.

Mother. Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn t
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach-ache. diarrhoea, remember, 81
gentle liver and bowel cleansing
should always be the first treatment
given.
Nothing equals California Syrup
of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
fruit laxative" and it never fails to
effect a good INSIDE" cleansing. Di-
rections for babies, children of all
ugcs and grown-ups are plainly on the
bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A little
given to-day saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
Hour druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" then see
that it is made by the California Fig

Making Bank Of England Foreign Core
spondent Regarded as ofisetting
Collateral Rule.

Washington, Dec. 2T.-The federal re-
serve boards action In authorizing the
appointment OF the Bank of England as
foreign correspondent OF the system
was interpreted here yesterday by some
as indicating an effort to offset the
boards recent railing against foreign
treasury notes a. collateral for big loans.
The official explanation, however, was
that relations between the American sys'
tenn and the English bank would serve
TO adjust questions of gold shipment ana
would aid in cementing financial rela-
tions between the two nations.
On the matter of It's recent decisions
in the matter of foreign loans, there Is
no doubt In the best informed circles that
Il had an adverse effect and tended to
check dealings between the United States
and England. The present move, II Is
felt, may serve to counterfeit that spirit.
Behind the move, too, is the thought
that after the war cut-throat competi-
ton is likely to come. In this race for
leadership, the United States desires in
solar as possible to maintain its present
position of creditor nation, and, more
over, il wishes to have firm commercial
relations abroad.
To strengthen its foreign position, 1t
NAV also establish other correspondents
abroad.

It's and prives as the break in security

the bulk of informed opinion expects

but not enough TO warrant a breakup OF

Is therefore likely To be held that much
of the disturbance in yesterdays mar
ket came from the Misunderstanding
aroused by the governments note and its
various conflicting explanations, official

THIS STOPS HAIR
FROM FALLING OUT

Ever count the dead hairs in your

warning of future baldnes and proof
that the dangerous dandruff germ is
busy on your scalp.
DR.. Sangerbund, the famous Paris spe-
eialist, first discovered that dandruff
and falling hair are caused by mi
crobe. Then came the discovery of the
value of the real Partisan Sage liquid
form in destroying the dandruff germ
and promptly preventing the further loss
of hair. The effect of only three days
use of Partisan Sage is simply marvel
Gus, and the American people have now
awakened to the fact that they can be
quickly rid of dsndruff and save their
hair by using Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold by the Red Cross
Pharmacy and good druggists every
where. It's inexpensive, daintily per
fumeu free from sickness, and will
surely cause hair to grow soft, lustrous

Laundry Economy.

Soft water for use in laundry work
saves soap, clothing, time, energy and
money.
Buying soap by the box is more eco
nomical than buying it by the quarter
worth.
Removing the soap from the box and
piling it in such way that it will dry,
causes it to wash away less rapidly, and
therefore to last longer than if not
dried.
Having a firm, substantial washbench
of height suited to the worker, so con-
structed as to hold the tubs securely in
position, saves time and energy.
A good stationary wringer, or one
which is so constructed as to be elamped
securely to the tub, is necessity. When
through using the wringer, loosen the
screws to relieve the pressure on the rub
Der rollers; wash clean, wipe dry and put
it away where it will keep clean until
needed. Occasionally cleaning the wiring
or with kerosene and the washing with
soapsuds, rinsing and drying, tends to
keep it in good condition.
