COUNCILMANIC CANDIDATE
REPLIES TO WOMEN VOTERS
Gives ConciseIy His Stand on Cues
tons Asked Last Week.

Edward T. Stephenson, Republican
candidate for Council in the First
Ward, has stated his position on the
four questions asked by the Executive
Committee of the League of Women
Voters, in the following communica-
ton sem to that body this week:
Pl~easantville, N. J., Sept. 20, 1920.
Executive Committee, League of
Women Voters,
Ladies':
l note that through the columns of
the press you have ~propounded four
questions addressed to the local candi-
dates. AS a candidate for Council
from the First Ward, l take pleasure
in answering the same in the order in
which they have been stated.
No. IL believe that the utmost
protection should be afforded by the
railroad companies at all grade cross
ings. If elected, | shall use my ut
most endeayors towards seeing thu
the proper safeguards are afforded for
the protection of our citizens.
No. FL am for the enforcement
not alone of the ordinance regarding
the parking of automobiles on Main
Street, but of all city ordinances that
can be properly enforced, and for the
repeal of those that are useless or in
effective.
No. 3.-The question of the estab-
lishment of some sort of garbage or
rubbish removal system, is one that
will require considerable study, if we
are not to overburden our taxpayers.
| believe, however, that this is a wor-
thy proposition, and that some sort of
an arrangement may be made whereby
the Street Department could handle
this situation in a small way for the
present. At any rate, l will advocate
it, if nominated and elected.
No. 4.-The matter of appointment
of women to the School Board is en-
tirely in the hands of the Mayor. his
appointments to this body being abso-
lutte and requiring no confirmation by
Council. However, personally, l can
see no plausible reason why the wo-
men should not be represented on the
Board.
Trusting that l have made myself
plain on these questions, l beg to re-
main,
Cordially yours,
EDWARD T. STEPHENSON,
Candidate for Council First Ward.

to live is Christ, and to die is gain
He gave a beautiful talk from this
subject. He said that he had early
learned to love Captain Blake after
his arrival at his present charge and
that to him the loss was most pro
found, but his admonition to the sor
rowing ones was not to mourn him as
dead, for a child of Christ never dies
but has only gone before and lives
triumphantly beyond the vail.
Mrs. Franklin E. Smith and Mrs. B
F. Garrison sang Rock of Ages" and

Hair Often Ruined
 By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and. greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out cas- fly, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. Tie 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 cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months
