Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If yol. want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it witt.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil { which ispure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than the
most expensive soap oil anything else
YOU can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisteE your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and eX-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to mahage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Philadelphia, March 21. - A COM

here yesterday at a meeting of $50
prominent Philadelphians in Mayor
Smiths Office. The first activity of the
committee, which is composed of rep
resentatives of the railroads, public

mandant Russell, of the Philadelphia
navy yard, to raise an auxiliary force
of 5000 men for the naval coast de-
fense reserve. Mayor Smith was
named as chairman of the committee,
which includes several prominent
German Americans.
A telegram sent to President Wilson

$4,000 DAMAGE AT
]. M. HEAGY FIRE
Early Morning Blaze Partially
Destroys Delivery Stable
in Front Street

Fire of unknown origin early this
morning damaged the livery stable o.
]. NJ. Heagy, Front and Walnut streets,
to the extent of $4,000. BY good work
the firemen were able to confine the
conflagration to the brick structure
where it started. Had IL gained much
headway it is probable several frame
buildings adjoining would have been
destroyed.
The fire was discovered about 2.35
by drivers who were sleeping in the
office in another section of the building.
An alarm was sent in which brought
several companies to the scene and
later general alarm was sounded,
calling out tn entire department.
The employees who were sleeping in
the building, with Mr.. Heagy were sue
cessful in rescuing nineteen horses that
were housed in the building. Nine Gags.
stored in a building adjoining were
also removed.
The fire, it is believed, started in
some hay on the second floor of the
building. The rear of the second floor
was totally destroyed with large sup
ply of hay.
Firemen left the scene about 5
o'clock, and less than a half hour later
were recalled to extinguish a small fire
that had broken out in the debris.
Mr.. Heagy announced this morning
that he would rebuild at once and in
the meantime place some of his horses
Front and Chestnut streets and in diff
ferent stables in the borough.
Very little insurance was carried on
the building. Mr.. eHagy has been in
business in the borough for about
thirty years.

GLASS OF WATER
BEFORE YOU EAT
ANY BREAKFAST
Wash poison from system each
morning and feel fresh
as a daisy.

Every day you clean the house you
live IL 10 get rid of the dust and
dirt which collected through the pre-
vious day. Your body, the house
your soul lives in, also becomes filled
up each twenty-four hours with all
manner of filth and poison. If only
every man and woman could realize
the wonders of drinking phosphated
hot water what a gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
manufacturing men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes Of
nerve wrecks" rundowns," brain
fags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
checked people everywhere.
Everyone, whether sick or well,
should drink each morning before
breakfast, a glass of real hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it to wash from the stomach,
liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour fermentations and poisons. thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache,
biliousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who
have a pallid. sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate at the drugstore
which will cost but a trifle but is suf-
ficient to demonstrate the quick and
remarkable change in both health and
appearance awaiting those who prac-
tice internal sanitation. We must
remember that inside cleanliness is
more important than outside, because
the skin does not absorb impurities
to contaminate the blood, while the
pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

Life Insurance company, was elected
president for 1917-1S.
Being one of the original organizers
of this association in 1912, Mr.. Vert
has been one of its most enthusiastic
members and untiring supporters and
to him is due no little credit for its
success. At the st. Louis convention
last September, the Central Pennsyl-

recognition when the Metropolitan
district loving cup was awarded the
local body in competition for increase
in membership with cities like Phila-

Flavel l.. Wright. general agent of
the Northwestern Mutual Life, was
elected vice-president, and Elmer K.

But IT DOESN'T
Many Have the Erroneous
Idea That Fat Makes Fat
One Reason of Cod Liver Oils
Popularity
Nevertheless Decidedly Wrong
Impression

Fat taken into the stomach does not
make fat, according to the opinion of
many eminent physicians. Thousands
of physicians have prescribed cod liver
oil for wasting diseases and all troubles
that show themselves in q decline of
weight. Physicians know that the fat
or grease is not what is necessary to
make fat or tissue. They also know
that it is one of the main things that
makes cod liver oil impractical in
many cases. The fat is too rich to be
digested by stomach weakened by
disease.
When cod liver oil is given, often the
oil passes from the body in exactly the
same state in which it is received. The
reason doctors prescribe cod liver oil
is that it contains certain curative
properties. 1t is to take advantage
of these same curative properties that
they have so often tried to force their
patients to take this horrible. greasy,
vile-sm elling, nauseating remedy.
There are but few people who have
not had experience in one way or an
other with cod liver oil, and even the
thought of it's smell is enough to cause
a shudder. When we think of these
things it is not strange that every one
in our city is sounding the praise of
Vinol.
Vinol, which the Harrisburg drug
gists whose names are appended to
this article are handling, is the So
luton of an embarrassing puzzle that
physicians have had to contend with
for years. Much has been said in the
past of this wonderful discovery and
yet it would be impossible to say too
much in its praise.
Just remember that in Vinol you
can procure all the medicinal proper
ties or curative principles that make
cod liver oil famous, but without the
greasy fat. To this Is added beef pep
tones, iron and manganese peptonates
and glycerophosphates in delicious
rich wine making a rare strength
creator of wonderful tonic properties.
Vinol contains just the right amount
of the active medicinal properties of
the Gods liver that is necessary for the
cure of such diseases as cod liver oil
has been prescribed for.
This is a subject that everyone
should become familiar with and we
recommend that you make inquiries
of the Harrisburg druggists whose
names are appended to this article.
who have associated themselves with
the Boston chemists Who are prepar-
ing this remedy: they will gladly give
anyone all explanations that may be
desired in regard to this subject.
