Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious. as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pCnsive soaps or anything else all

drug store. and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather.

MT. VERNON COMPANY
i WILL DEPART FROM OLD
FTREHOUSE ON MONDA

The Mt. Vernon fire department
is to move it's headquarters from
Fourth street to Second street.
These orders were received this
morning and on Monday the home
of the Mt. Vernon boys for over fifty
years will begin to be dismantled to
make way for the extension of Cap
itol Park. The leavetaking of the old
headquarters will be a sad affair for
nearly fifty fireladdies. For over
half a century these boys were wont
to gather at the "old stand" each
evening and there in the quiet talk
over the times that used to be-
Now all is to be changed. The Hope
Fire Company will house the Mt.
Vernon boys for the future or until
some other provisions are made for
them.
Among Oldest in City
The Mt. Vernon company is one
Of the Oldest companies in point of
service in Harrisburg. The company
was formed in 1858 shortly before
the Civil War. In those times there
were only & hand tub and bucket
brigade. Grant Wilson was the first
president of the company. which
had very few members. AS the years
went by the company increased in
numbers and equipment. From a
bucket brigade it rose to be the best
equipped ladder company in the
state. Two years ago the company
received a motorized ladder truck
made by the American LaFrance
Aerial 'Laddep Company. This truck
is considered by the experts as the
best in the State. 1t is equipped with
all the latest improvements in fire
fighting and has an aerial ladder
which reaches S5 feet in the air. The
truck is equipped with a life-saving
net and many other accessories. The
entire body is made of steel.
Proud of Old Horses
While the members of the Mt.
Vernon company are extremely
proud of their truck, they were still
prouder of the fine horses that they
used to have in the olden days.
Trucks may come and trucks may
90, but they will never reach the
spot in the hearts of the firemen
as did the horses. During the sixty
years that the Mt. Vernon COM
pany has been in existence there
have been no less than twelve horses
housed in the headquarters i'll
Fourth street. These horses were
among the best in the city, and three
were classed as the best in the State.
These three horses were in the serv-
ice for six years up to the time the
truck was bought. The horses were:
Scott, Jim and Prince, and anyone
in Harrisburg that has any knowl-
edge of the fire company in the city
will remember these three big fell
lows as they dashed along the street
in answer to an alarm. When Scott.
Jim and Prince gave up their jobs
TO the new truck there was gloom
in the company, for as one of the fire
department men said: without
horses, the department does not seem
the same. They are the best COM
panions n fireman has.

Why Retain It?
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Speaking of teachers, that re-
minds us: Did you notice that
the Massachusetts legislature did
away with the religious prefer
ence" blank in the teachers APP
plication?
In Washington we have a law
that says, "all schools maintained
or supported wholly or in part by
the public funds shall be forever
free from seotarian control or in
fluence." and yet we find oh the
teachers application a religious
preference" blank, which counts.
Apply for a school. The direc-
tors send to the superintendent
for your application on file there;
you are a Catholic, or a Protes-
tant, generally; the directors per-
haps are Of conflicting belief.
They'll wait; perhaps they can get
a teacher of their own denomina-
tion; try again! And this be-
cause? there are few more
voters in a district of one denom-
nation than of another, and the
larger church controls the school
elections.
What's the matter with the
Massachusetts solution? What's
the matter with Washington?

it? Don't we know of these

Say, doubter, did you give good
To the voice of the throng on
that crowded street,
To the old men marching, to the
stalwart youth,
To the sweep and sway of the
pounding feet,
To the women and children, too,
forsooth--
And think of the thought behind
the deed?
Did you see hope smile on the face
of age
Note youths response to wars
grim call,
And still believe we could rest
content
With nations crushed, with
democracy fall,
And earth's best lives and labors
spent
And the blood still wet on the
half-turned page?
Is your soul too dead with the
fear of greed
The fear of the lust of moneyed
men
That you could nurture this ghost
of the thing you fear
Till with welded chains mad
Mars steps in
And shackles the things you hold
most dear
To compute the cost and study
the need?
Did You feel the soul of a free
land rise
Bidding rule by Car and Kaiser
cease,
Cheering the exiles' homeward
way,
Commanding for earth free
mans peace,
And with a nations power aiding
the way
Lest the love of mankind blights
and dies?
Say, doubter, did you give good
heed
To the sons of the nations who
marched that night
A potent reply to the pernicious
slur
That Americas adopted sons
won't fight
Or shed their precious blood for
herr
But think of the thought be-
hind the deed.
