How Resinol
Cured Itching
Skin Torment
Baltimore, Md., May 23, 1914: "My
limbs from knee to ankle were com
pletely covered with eczema for a year.
It commenced with several small water
pimples, which burst when I scratched
them, until they developed into sores,
and' oozefl" a yellowish fluid. I hated
to go in company, it itched and burned
so badly. I had no rest at night. I
tried a good many remedies for ec
zema, both liquid and salve, but they
did me no good, only made the skin
more rough and scaly. I learned of
Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap
and tried them, and was relieved of
the severe itching and burning AT
ONCE, and after a month's steady use
was completely cured." (Signed)

Shipments of Steel to
Be Minimized at Once
Pittsburgh, Aug. 3.—Stael men In
this district are exhibiting grave con
cern of the future of the export steel
trade. Leading officials of the largest
steel companies here admit that the
European war will kill the sale of
steel in foreign countries. Many rea
sons are advanced for this assertion.
One is that steel would very likely be
considered contraband of war and
would be unsafe to ship in any bot
tom with so many sea powers at log
gerheads.
The United States Steel Corporation,
as well as the larger independent steel
companies in Pittsburgh, are large ex
porters of finished products.

CITY CLOSES DEAL
TO BUY PLAYGROUND
IN THE LOWER END
Acre and a Quarter of Ground at
Sycamore and Thirteenth to
Be Purchased
Negotiations have practcially been
completed by City Commissioner M.
Harvey Taylor, Superintendent of
Parks and Public Property, for the
purchase from the McCormick estate
of a new playground site in South
Harrisburg.
The ground, covering about an acre
and a quarter, lies immediately south
of Sycamore and between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth and across Thirteenth
street from the present playgrounds.
It will be bought at the rate of $2,500
an acre, about $7.50 per foot.
The closing of the deal for the new
South Harrisburg playground half
completes Commissioner Taylor's play
ground plan for this year. Another
plot is under negotiation in the upper
end of the city with a view to pur
chase.
Correspondence closing the deal has
been passed between the park office
and the McCormick estate and all that
is to be done to bring about the trans
ferring of the deed is the completion
by the owners of a survey of the land
showing the streets, etc., in the plot
with reference to the adjoining prop
erty. As soon as this data Is furnished
the park departmental head he will
introduce an ordinance in Council au
thorizing him to purchase.
The money will be appropriated
from the fund set aside in the 1913
park improvement loan, SIOO,OOO hav
ing been voted for the purpose. Of
this amount $55,000 has already been
voted.
The need of a city owned playground
in the lewer end of the city has been
feld ever since the city opened that
recreation plot In that part. The pres
ent grounds, however, had been leased
to the park authorities for use as a
playground.
Spring creek sewer, the big three
foot concrete drain that will serve
for the lower end of the city, Cloverly
Heights and the esction thta includes
the Thirteenth Ward, has been com
pleted and all that is necessary for its
acceptance by the city Is the official
inspection by the Department of
Streets and Public Improvements. The
inspectors, according to Commissioner
Lynch to-day, would have started this
work Saturday except for the interfer
ence of the rain.
The completion of the Spring creek
sewer job is the second big public
improvement work to be completed
under the direction of Commissioner
Lynch this year. The sewer is one of
the largest to be constructed in the
city and some of the most difficult en
gineering and contracting obstacles
had to be overcome by the contractor,
G. W. Ensign.
The other big jom completed and
only now awaiting formal acceptance
by Commissioner Lynch is the Dock
street bridge.
WILL HEAR COP WHO
SHOT MAN TOMORROW
Patrolman Robert F. Scott, colored,
who shot and killed Nathan Banks,

to-day collecting evidence. The In

at 1119 Monroe street. A fight was
on at the corner of Cumberland and
Monroe streets, according to the story
told by Patrolman Scott, Bankes was
mixed up in the quarrel. Scott or

Banks snatched Scott's mace and
started to run away. Then Scott drew
his revolver and shot after the fleeing
negro. The bullet struck Banks in
the neck and lie died before the am
bulance arrived.
Scott was immediately placed under
arrest at the order of the coroner.
CHURCHES HERE PRAY
FOR EUROPEAN PEACE
In many of the
Harrisburg churches
yesterday the war in
Europe was the sub
ject of sermon, song
and prayer. In near
ly every edifice pray
ers for the restoration
of peace were offered
up by pastor and con
gregation. Many of
the ministers declared
that the war is the
direct result of wrong
doing, corruption and
-
sin. The Rev. Father

of St. Patrick's Cathedral, preached a
war sermon In which he pointed out
that the widespread atheism in Ger

COMPANY
RAYS. SHOEMAKER
ONLY BIDDER FOR
HAULING OF FILL
Only one bid for hauling the 20,000
cubic yards of earth from the Second
street subway excavation for "1111"
along the river front north of Hard
scrabble was received when new pro
posals were opened at noon to-day by
Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, su
perintendent of parks and public
property.
The sole bidder was Ray S. Shoe
maker and his figures were 59 cents
per yard for hauling via industrial
railway and 75 cents per load by
dump wagon.
The price was the same as Mr.
Shoemaker offered when the bids were
opened for the first time a fewr weeks
ago and rejected because Mr. Taylor
considered them too high.
The commissioner said to-day that
he h».s not decided definitely what
recommendation he will make to
Council on the subject to-morrow.
Mr. Shoemaker's plan is generally
conceded to be the most modern and
effective method for transporting the
earth and Mr. Shoemaker agrees to
complete the whole job within 100
working days. The "industrial rail
way" scheme provides for the laying
of a narrow-gauge track in Front
street to Chestnut, to Second, upon
which will be run two trains of tiny
dinky engines and fifteen cars each.
Card From Harrisburgers
in Europe Received Here
Edward J. Kreidler, of Kreidler
Brothes, grocers, at Second and Wal
nut strets. to-day received a postcard
from Mrs. Bernard Schmidt, who,
with Mr. Schmidt and Father D. J.
Carey, rector of St. Francis' Roman
Catholic Church, on Alison Hill, is

The card is dated Brussels, July 18.
Mrs. Schmidt says: "We are talking
ourselves to death trying to make
people understand us in abominable
French." She says absolutely nothing
about war or rumors of war.
Fighting Disease Germs
There Is a popular Idea that most
sickness is caused by a germ of the
disease finding entrance to our bodies
through the food we eat, the water or
milk we drink or the air we breathe.
This is true as far as it goes, but It is
also true that disease germs are enter
ing our bodies every day without caus
ing disease.
The reason for this is that there are
forces within the body that are con
stantly fighting these disease germs
and it is only when this defense is
weakened that the germs get the upper
hand and we become ill. One of the
most powerful of these forces that
work for health is rich, red blood.
Good, healthy blood increases the re
sistance of the body to the diseases
that are always threatening. It is
easier to keep up this resistance by
taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, eating
proper food, avoiding articles of food
that do not agree with us and getting
plenty of fresh air day and night,
than it is to cure disease after it gets a
foothold. Keep up the resistance of
your body to disease by these tonic
pills, which you can get at any drug
store, and you will avoid much sick
ness.
Two booklets, "Building Up the
Blood" and "What to Eat and How
to Eat," will be sent free by the Dr.
