5 WHAT TO DO FOR \
J EYE TROUBLE j
j By E. Sauer, M. I). |
Weak, inflamed eyes, If not properly
treated in time may bring on partial
or even total blindness. Granulations
may form which Irritate the eyeball,
next an ulcer may occur on the baii
which may result in total loss of the
sight, and the continuous strain may
seriously affect the optic nerve, which
if it should die would also cause loss
of the eyesight.* Therefore, when your
eyes become fatigued or inflamed vou
should at once use a little Luxoione.
The ingredients in this remarkable
product are widely used by eminent
eye specialists in the treatment of con
ditions above referred to. Its power
is so great that it will make red, in
flamed, "blood-shot" eyes clear, white
and bright in from five to ten minutes
time. It quickly soothes, refreshes
and tones up weak, tired eyes. Re
lieves headaches and restores failing
eyesight due to simple /inflammatory
conditions. I always prescribe it in
all ordinary cases of eye trouble. Of
course, cataract after It has once
formed requires a surgical operation,
but many surgical operations on the
eye may be avoided by the use of
proper treatment in time.—E. Sauer,
M. D.
NOTE: The above article was au
thorized for publicity by the Public
Health Laboratories. It is desired to
instruct people how to saVe their eyes,
prevent surgical operations on % the eye
and reduce the alarming number of
cases of loss of eyesight through care
lessness and ignorance In regard to the
care of the eyes.

KELKER PARK TO BE j
! CLEARED FOR PICNIC
Municipal League Sends Force of
Men to Remove Tangled
Growth
Luther R. Kelker park, Steelton's
new recreation place, will be put in'
shape for picnic parties within a few
days by the Municipal Leaguge.
Early last Spring the Municipal j
League planned successful field day
exercises by which the park was
changed from a tangled tract of,
woodland Into a pretty playground. A j
series of winding walks was laid out, (
trees were trimmed and springs were •
cleaned out.
Shortly after this interest in the
ifark development lagged and as a
result, in recent months, dense weeds
have sprung up, spoiling some parts of
the park for picnic purposes.
To-day Harry C. Wright, president j
of the Municipal League, arranged
with the Pennsylvania Steel Company
to send a force of men to park
some time this week to dear away'
the weeds and get the park in shape
for outings.
As soon as this is done it is likely
that a number of Sunday school class
es from the borough will hold their
i picnics there instead of in the parks at
Harrisburg and elsewhere.

Will Try to Learn Worth
of Policemen's Graft
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—The
Grand Jury to-morrow is expected to
meet and try to find out just how
much graft Washington policemen
have been gathering in since an at
tempt was made to enforce the blue
laws In the national capital.
Many rumors are afloat to the effect
that the present city administration,
commonly called half-baked reform
ers, has discovered a condition that
will make New York vice revelations
look like a side show, as far as petty
grafting is concerned. Until the pres
ent administration of city affairs got
into the saddle the Washington police
were credited generally with being be
yond suspicion, as far as taking graft
from the keepers of disorderly houses
was concerned. It was generally ad
mitted that the old system of restric
tion made It Impossible for the police 1
to shake down the housekeepers.
Almost a year ago the restricted dis
trict was cleaned up, and notice was
served that Washington was to be
I made the most moral city In the
world.

pointed out to-day July boasted of but
six entirely clear days and rain has
also fallen almost every day this
month so far.
May Require FV>ur or Five Weeks
In submitting his report to Council
to-morrow of the status of the work
and the finances of the dam. Paxton
creek and River Wall to Council, to
morrow, Commissioner Lynch will say
that the closing of the gap will re
quire four or five weeks to complete,
weather conditions permitting. This
estimate of the time was prepared by
J. D. Justin, principal engineer of the
Board of Public Works.
"Orders have been Issued to Stucker
Brothers Construction Company to go
ahead with the closing ,of the gap,"
said Mr. Lynch to-day, "hut they've
been unable to proceed as yet because
of the high water. The river now, I
understand, is up 'round the 7-foot
mark and the contractors ought to
have a three-foot stage really before
they can go ahead.
"What we want to do," continued
Mr. Lynch, "is to get the gap closed
as soon as possible—certainly In time
for the big celebration. The contrac
tors. too. are anxious to get to work
as quickly as possible because their
equipment is ready and they naturally
want to keep it in service.
Adopt C. V. Bridge Plan
The Gra.vce Construction Company
which is building the Cumberland Val
ley railroad bridge is pushing that Job
by night and Commissioner Lynch
says he will follow out that scheme,
too, If the occasion requires it.
Council is expected to-morrow to
pass finally the Lynch ordinance ap
propriating to the public Improvement

balances to pay for the construction
of the steps through the Market street
gap. Whether or not It will be unani
mously approved or not Is a question,
although It Is understood that Com
missioners Bowman. Taylor and Lynch
who found the money will follow the
line of action they have constantly
held out for —the completion of the
work since the money is in sight—and
will vote for the measure regardless
of the attitude of either Mayor Royal
or Mr. Gorgas. Bofh may vote for it
at that, however. .

BRAZILIAN MINISTER
IN MEXICO TO LEAVE
[Continued From First Page.]
of the participation of their countries
in_ the Pan-American conference in
Washington for composing Mexican
affairs.
The development Is a very disturb
ing one for the success of the Pan-
American conference. Officials who
were hoping Carranza would Join a
peace conference with his adversaries
and meet the efforts of the Pan-Am
erican nations to settle the factional
strife were much disappointed.
Xot On Good Terms
It was said by Carranza agents that
neither the Guatemalan nor the
Brazilian ministers had been on good
terms with Carranza and that It had
been Carranza's intention to hand the
Brazilian his passports as soon as he
again reoccupied Mexico City. The
participation of Brazil and Guatemala
in the Pan-American conference, they
said, brought Carranza's resentment to
a climax. It was recalled that Castro,
the dictator of Venezuela took much
the same action when offended by
foreign nations pressing for a settle
ment of affairs in his country.
State Department advices to-day
said General Carranza was making
hurried preparations s to move his
capital from Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
Archives and clerks had been moving
to the capital since Friday. The im
pression in Mexican circles here is
that Carranza proposes to 'establish
himself in Mexico City and probably
proclaim himself provisional president
in the face of the Pan-American ef
fort to bring the factions together.
American naval commanders at Vera
Cruz have been ordered to place a
warship at the disposal Of the two
diplomats, if they wish it. There are
three gunboats in that vicinity, the
Wheeling and Machias at Tamplco,
the Marietta at Progreso and the
Sacramento, on which the senior offi
cer, Commander McNamee, has his
flag, is at Vera Cruz.
Secretary Lansing said he was con
sidering American representation In
Mexico City in view of the departure
of the Brazilian minister, but he did
not know what would be done. He
assumed, however, that American
diplomatic affairs wolild be in a "sort
of a state of quiescence" in Mexico
City. The reasons for the Brazilian
Minister's visit to the United States at
this time, the secretary says, were un
known to him.

BROTHERHOOD MEN
10 TAKEUP POLITICS
Harrisburg Representatives at Big
"Get Together" Meeting in
Altoona Yesterday
With a view to electing candidates
who will stand by their Interests, mem
bers of the railroad brotherhoods
throughout Pennsylvania will enter the
political game. Local branches will be
formed and candidates selected. This
decision was reached at a "Get To
gether" meeting yesterday at Altoona.
No agreement was reached as to a Joint
movement. It was decided that each
district fight its own battles.
Harrisburg was represented at this
meeting by 100 delegates. Milton T.
Robinson, who was prominent as a
member of the legislative committee ot
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
during the recent session of the Legis
lature, was one of the speakers. Every
brotherhood organization east of Pitts
burgh and Erie sent delegates. Tliero
were 1,200 present at the meeting, held
in the Mlshler Theater.
Desire Closer Alliance
The object of the new movement Is
to establish a closer alliance between
railroad men. Not only do the brother
hoods resire to deal with the railroad
managers as a whole, but they also seek
to take an active part in politics.
As it now stands the constitution and
by-laws of the various organizations
forbid participation in partisan poli
tics. By co-operating under a different
name they can center on candidates for
public office, particularly the Legisla
ture, without violating their obligations
to their respective orders. It Is not
their purpose to federate. Each broth
erhood will continue as an autonimous
organization.
The speakers at the meetings pointed
out the necessity for participating in
politics. They say the efforts of the
railroad companies to repeal the Full
I Crew law. which would have been suc
cessful but for the veto of Governor
I Brumbaugh, has opened their eyes. It
[has shown them the necessity for send
ing men to the Legislature who will
be friendly to uniorTlabor.
Must Fight to Win
I Every speaker emphasized the fact
that the brotherhood must fight to
hold the advantages so far gained by
them and plan a co-operative movement
to get such additional benefits as im
proved working conditions and shorter
hours.
No definite action on any proposition
was taken, but sentiment is rapidly
crystallizing in favor of the co-opera
tive movement. Politically, the brother
hoods propose to make themselves felt
at the coming election.
M. T. Lego, of Altoona. is chairman
of the "Get Together" movement.
Among the speakers were: H. B. Per
ham. St. Louis, president of Telegraph
ers; M. E Montgomery, Cleveland, grand
lodge office of Engineers; W. B. Clark,
Washington, D. C„ of Conductors; John
Bannon, Cleveland, grand lodge office
of Trainmen; James A. Fox. chairman
of Firemen and Englnemen; George B.
Roan, Samuel Tarmer and M. T. Robin
son, members of the legislative com
mittee of the brotherhoods.

FARMERS LOSE BY
WOOD DESTRUCTION
Sustained Timber Production Abso
lutely Essential to Continu
ance of Agriculture
Washington, D. C., July 26.—1n re
gions where timber is the most impor
tant natural resource permanent for
ests managed with a view to sustained
timber production are absolutely es
sential to the continuance of agri
culture. according to an article in the
year book of the Department of Agri
culture. just published. The result of
exploiting the timber without thought
of the future is the final disappearance
of lumbering operations and therefore
the withdrawal of an important local
market for farm products. In addition
forest fires often ravage the cut-over
lands and thus preclude the develop
ment of a new local market by the
resumption of lumbering, for fire
there is no chance for a new crop of
trees.
From a region where productive
tlmberland has been converted into
a barren waste the farmers usually
have to move out. There are parts of
the United States in which cultivation
of the soli has ended with the cessa
tion of local lumbering, or at least
shortly afterward, because with the
withdrawal of the woods workers went
the farmers' market for meats, vege
tables, hay and grain. There are other
regions where the stability of local
agriculture is absolutely bound up with
forest protection. This is strikingly
true in parts of the Appalachian moun
tains of the East; it is no less true in
many of the national forest regions of
the West.
Wanted Protection
A few years ago, continues the ar
ticle, more than a hundred farmers in
Montana petitioned against the then
proposed elimination of their section
from the Kootenai national forest. Its
elimination they knew, from the his
tory of adjacent land outside the for
est, would mean that it would at once
be taken up by timber speculators and
lumber companies to be held for years
without development. They knew also
that if this came about neighbors
could not be obtained or roads and
schools be developed in the county as
rapidly as if the land remained under
government control, by which the por
tions really more suitable for agricul
ture than for forest purposes
in time be entered by permanent set
tlers under the forest homestead act.

farmers, who irrigated their farms
with water from the North Platte
river, sent an urgent request to the
government to restrict timber cutting
on the North Platte watershed so that,
as far as possible, high spring fresh
ets could be prevented and more water
made available for irrigation during
the summer months, when the cropa
were most in need. They said that
they relied upon tne national forest,
within which the watershed lay, to In
sure a steady flow of water for their
crops.
Source of Water
The national forests, says the ar
ticle, besides being the American farm
er's most valuable source of wood,
which is the chief building material
for rural purposes, are also his most
valuable source of water, both for Irri
gation and domestic use. In the West
they afford him a protected grazing
range for his stock; they are the best
Insurance against flood damage to his
fields, his buildings, his bridges, his
roads, and the fertility of his soil.
The national forests cover the higher
portions of the Rocky Mountain
ranges and a large part of the forested
coast and islands of Alaska; some of
the hilly regions in Montana and in,
the Dakotas, Oklahoma and Arkansas,
and limited areas in Minnesota, Michi
gan, Florida and Porto Rico. In ad
dition land Is now being purchased for
national forests in the White Moun
tains of New England and In the
squthern Appalachians. In regions so
widely scattered agricultural and forest
conditions necessarily differ to a great
degree, bringing about corresponding
differences in the effect of the national
forests on the agricultural interests of
the various localities. Wherever agri
culture can be practiced, however, the
farmer is directly benefited by the
existence of national forests and by
their proper management.
