When You are not in the condition
you must look to nature for her
remedies for these ailments.
Threat, dog and horse when they

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless) is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance of rich, creamy Iather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man.
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
1t is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.

WHEAT SHOWING
SOME DECLINE
Reports Indicate Damage
Done by Pests and June
Storms

Reports to the State Department
of Agriculture show a marked diff
ference in the grain crops of Penn
sylvania between the May and June
records. The potatoes also indicate
a falling off.
Secretary of Agriculture Rasmus-
sen reports the estimated acreage
and condition of crops in Pennsyl-
vania on July i, according to COM
pilations made by the Bureau of
Statistics, as follows:
Wheat-Reports show that there
has been a decline of four per cent
in the condition of wheat during the
month of June, due largely to dam
age by the Hessian fly, rust and
storm. The condition on July / is
101 per cent of a normal or full
crop and indicates an average yield
of 2O.7 bushels per acre, and d
total production of S2,670,200 BUSH
els. The total production last year
was estimated at 26,023,700 bushels
Oats-Condition of oats is 50 per
cent and is the same as last month.
On this basis the average yield will
approximate 34.5 bushels per acre
and the total crop 100000 BUSH
els. The production last year was
estimated at 44,103,20O bushels.
Corn-The area planted. to corn
is estimated at 1,57S,230 acres, which
is about per cent less than last
year. The factors contributing to
this reduction are the increase in
wheat acreage and unfavorable con-
ditions at planting time. The corn
acreage was unusually large last
year. The condition on July l was
SO per cent of a normal and indi-
Gates an average yield of 43 bushels
per acre and total production of
67.S63,S90 bushels.
Hay-The condition of hay is SO
per cent and forecasts an average
yield of 1853 tons per acre.
Potatoes-Reportss show that 1885,
7S0 acres were planted to potatoes
which is a decline of per cent
from last year. The condition is
"a per cent of a normal and is in
dicative of an average yield of 80
bushels per acre and a total pro-
duction of 25,720,200 bushels.

For Acid Stomach
Take Bi-nesia
Instant Relief or Money Back

If you suffer from dyspepsia. indi-
gestion. pain after eating, gastritis,
heartburn or any stomach trouble due
to acidity or food fermentation-and
over ninety per cent. of stomach COM
plants are due to these causes-go to
your druggist and get 80 cents worth
of Bi-nesIa. The next time you eat or
have pain in the stomach take a tea
spoonful in a little hot water and
note how quickly all pain and dis
comfort ceases. Chemists say that it's
almost invariable success is due to
the fact that Bi-nesia instantly neu-
tralizes the excess acid and stops fer
mentation, thus promoting healthy
natural digestion. Being absolutely
harmless as we'll as inexpensive, b.
nesia should be kept on hand in every
home where economy and good
health are sought.
Bi-neaia is obtainable in both DOW
der and tablet form of Geo. A. Gorgas
and other leading druggists every
where. Each package contains a bind
ing guarantee of satisfaction or
money back and the druggist OF
whom you buy it stands back of that
guarantee. Stop dieting; eat what
you want. then take Bi-nesIa-the
wonderful remedy that costs no.hing

Crowd Stops When Doughboy
Waves in Warning in Germany

Meekness and mildness character
lied the greater number of German
prisoners taken to the American
Army Base Hospital at Dijon, France,
according to Miss Elizabeth O'Neil, a
new nurse at the Harrisburg Hos
pital, who served overseas for TWEEN
ty-one months with Base Hospital H.
This unit was known as the Harper
Hospital, because the corps of nurses
and many of the physicians were re-
cruited from the Harper Hospital,
lansing, Mich.
Most of the German prisoners
were anxious to get back home and
did not care If they did lose the war"
Miss O'Neil said to-day. The men of
the Prussian Guard, however, were
exceptions to the general rule and
were at times quite surly, often
scowling and looking utterly dis
gusted when ordered to mop up the
hospital floors.
Miss O'Neil found the friendly spir-
it prevailing among the forces of
the several warning countries, quite
pleasing. She cited the remark of
an English Tommy as characteristic
of the feeling. He said: II don't care
If the English win, if the Americans
win or If the French win, but l don't
want the Germans to win"

TRAINMAN GETS
LARGE VERDICT
FOR BROKEN NECK
Conductor J. w. Widmeyer
Injured in Rutherford Yards
Seven Months Ago .,'

AT Cumberland, Md, on Monday,
j. Walter Widmeyer, of Hagerstown,
former conductor on the Western
Maryland Railroad, was awarded
$4,000 for broken neck. Conduc-
tor Widmeyer was injured about
seven months ago while making up
a train in the Philadelphia and
Reading yards at Rutherford. 1t
is said the verdict is the largest ever
awarded in the courts at Cumber-
land. The suit was against the Rail-
road Administration for $4,000.
Widmeyer. in the suit, claimed
that his neck was broken and that
the slightest move or jar might
cause him to die almost instantly.
This assumption was upheld by sew
eral X-ray specialists, including DR..
j. 5. Johnston, of Hagerstown. The
Railroad Administration had offer
ed to settle with Midmeyer for $20,-
600 but this was turned down. The
jury was out thirty minutes. The
case was entered at Hagerstown, but
was transferred to Cumberland.
Knocked From His Train
Conductor Widmeyer with his
crew was making up a train at
Rutherford. His run was to Hag-
ii
of cars out on the main track. He
was hanging on the step of a car
and was struck on the head by a car
on another track, which it is alleged
was too far out. The conductor was
knocked off. When picked up it
was thought his skull was fractured
but at the Harrisburg Hospital it
was found that the mans neck was
broken, but the spinal cord was still
intact. Following treatment at the
hospital he was sent to his home, his
head having been placed in a steel
brace.
The suit has attracted much at
tention not only in railroad circles
but among medical men. and expert
witnesses were heard at Cumberland.
1t is understood that a motion has
been made by the attorney for the
Railroad Administration for a new
trial.

has afforded him so much real pleas

The military committee is compos-
