Italians Are Winning
The offensive opened by the Italians
along the Isonzo where Gorizla is
their objective, is attracting renewed
attention to this field of war. Several
lines of entrenchments were carried
by the Italians in their initial assaults,
which also gained them 3,600 prison
ers, and Vienna admits that the lost
ground has been only partly recov
ered. Latest reports from Rome credit
General Cadorna's troops with the
capture of a number of additional
posts.
TRIM ITALIAN WARSHIPS
Berlin, Aug. 8 (by wireless).—An
engagement between Austrian and
Italian warships occurred on August 2
following a raid on the Italian coast
by Austrian torpedoboats. An official
statement Issued at Vienna says that
Italian warships were sunk and that
the flotilla retreated. The Austrian
vessels were unharmed.

Austrians Now Hold Little

Italians Capture 3,000
By Associated Press
Lon-lon, Aug. B.—The Italian offen
sive along the Isonzo and on the Carso
plateau is being continued and, accord
ing to a wireless dispatch from Rome a
number of additional positions have
been occupied. The Austrians hold lit
tle ground on the right bank of the
Isonzo.
The dispatch reports the number of
prisoners taken by the Italians has
been increased considerably, and that
the Austrians are now destroying vil
lages in the vicitjity of Gorizia.
REGARDED AS BIG STEP
By Associated Press
Rome, Aug. S, via Paris.—The an
nouncement by the War Office of the
Italian victory in the Monfalcone sec
tor is received everywhere in Italy
with rejoicing, although the war is
being directed with such secrecy that
the public at large knows little about
it. In view of the difficult nature of
the ground and the exceptionally fa
vorable positions held by the Austrians
the taking of 3600 prisons is regarded
as a long step in advance. The troops
which so distinguished themselves are
from Leghorn and Turin. They car
ried out an enveloping movement,
which made possible the gathering in
of prisoners in large numbers.
VAST OFFENSIVE INDICATED
By Associated Press
Paris, Aug. B.—"The conviction is gen
eral at Rome," the Havas correspon
dent there wires, "that we are at the
beginning of a vast offensive, the results
of which are certain, although they may
be slow."
Thin People Can
increase Weight
Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or 15
pounds of healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note re
sults. Here is a good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself and meas-
J"i?i y° u f s elf- Then take Sargol—one
tablet with every meal— for two weeks.
Then weigh and measure yourself
again.. It isn't a question of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. rhe scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
many thin men and women we believe
can easily add from five to eight
pounds in the first fourteen days by
following this simpl« direction. And
best of all, the new riesh stavs put
sargol does not of itself "make fat,
but mixing with your food, it aims to
turn the fats, sugars and starches of
what you have eaten into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the tissues
and blood—prepare it in an easily as
similated form which the blood can
readily accept. Much ,of this nourish
ment now passes from your body as
waste. But Sargol works to stop the
waste and do it quickly and to make
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now de
velop pounds and pounds of healthy
flesh between your skin and bones
Sargol is safe, pleasant, efficient and
inexpensive. G. A Gorgas and other
leading druggists in this vicinity sell
it in large boxes—forty tablets to a
package—on a guarantee of weight in
crease or money back as found in each
lhrgb box.—Advertisement.
■ TUESDAY EVENING,
NEWS OF S
COUNCIL TO AID
BUILDERS HERE
Will Make Concessions to
Cause Town to Grow; Pass
Bond Ordinance
Steelton's future as a borough was
discussed by council last evening and
the first definite step in years towards
inducing builders to erect homes here
was taken.
The discussion opened when a let
ter was read from Harry A. Kelker,
Jr.. who is developing a residential
section just outside trie borough in
Pine street. Mr. KelKer askea that
council have the borough water lines
and sewers extended in Pine street,
from Heading to .Lancaster street, to
care for the new houses now being
built in this section.
Councilman McEntee endorsed the
proposition and urged that the bor
ough at once extend its water lines
and sewers. He pointed out that
Steelton needs more houses and that
the only way to get them is to give
builders some inducement to come to
the borough. He declared that lay
nig water mains ana sewers in new
districts is an Investment that will
bring the borough a large return from
taxes and water rent.
Mr. McEntee's opinions were shared
by Mr. Craig, Mr. Henderson and
other councilmen. The Kelker let
ter was then referred to the Finance
and Highway committees to obtain an
estimate on the cost ot extending the
lines to the top of the Pine street hill.
If this is done residents in tne out
lying districts will be asked to come
into the borough.
Pass Loud Ordinance
Council also took the first step to
ward starting the improvement pro
gram authorized by tne voters in Sep
tember, when the ordinance authoriz
ing the sale of $70,000 worth of bonds,
passed on first and second readings.
As the ordinance now stands tne
president of council is authorized to
issue the bonds in denominations of
SSOO each, payable serially, to the
amount of $2,500 each year. The
bonds will bear interest at 4 per cent,
annually. This is half a per cent,
lower than the borough is paying for
its recent bond issues.
Another meeting of council will j
likely be held next week, when this i
ordinance will probably be passed j
finally. With tne sale of the bonds
council will immediately start plans I
tor motorizing the fire department. I
There is little prospect that any street
paving will be started before next
year.
Council took no action on the canal ]
ordinance and there was no discus- '
sion on the pian of building a system !
of sewers for the upper end of town.
This matter will come up for action
later.
To Hold Special Session
It was decided, following a report
from E. C. Henderson, chairman of
the highway committee, to hold a
meeting of council next week to de
cide on plans for compelling tne
United States Wood Biock Preserving '
company to repair the Front street i
paving, now in bad condition. There !
is a possibility it was stated at the j
meeting that the paving company will
do the work without a lawsuit
Council passed a resolution direct
sloo be paid Mrs. Nancy
Miller, the S7-year-old woman who
lias filed suit against the borough to
recover damages sustained in a fall !
when crossing a bad pavement. Pay- ■
ment of this money will cause the suit I
to be withdrawn. Several small bills i
lor excess water rents and a disputed '
paving bill were exonerated. Settle- '
ment of L,eroy H. Sutton's bond as !

Captain Morrison
Lauds Old Commander
Captain John W. Morrison, Deputy
Commissioner of Banking, who was
elected State Treasurer on the same
ticket that elected the late General D.
McM. Gregg, paid this tribute to Gen
eral Gregg to-day:
"In the passing away of General
Gregg the State has lost a distin
j guished officer of the Civil War and
| who. in my judgment, never received
the full meed of praise for his brilliant
military achievement at the battle of
Gettysburg. Had it not been for the
thrilling fight his troopers made under
his direction, which hurled back the
legions of Jeb Stewart and Wade
Hampton, the outcome of that battle
on Pennsylvania soil, in the estimation
of military critics, would have had a
different result.
"General Gregg filled civic positions
with honor and distinction. In this
city he was well known and held in
high esteem, where hq resided while
holding the office of Auditor General.
My intercourse with him was exceed
ingly pleasant. He was modest in
demeanor. No effort of mine ever
succeeded in having him talk of bat
tles in which he had been engaged and
in which he bore a conspicuous part.
"My earliest recollection of the Gen
eral was while serving with the Army
of the Potomac and I was then as a
boy profoundly impressed by the dig
nified. soldierly appearance of one who
was later to give heroic service for the
preservation of the Union Jn one of
the greatest battles of the war waged
in his own natlv-> state."

100 For Youngsters
City Commissioner William H.
Lynch who broached the subject to
his fellow councilmen said he had in
mind the offer of a resolution making
an appropriation of a few hundred,
dollars for the purpose but decided to
await tho result of a census by the
health department. At the request of
City Commissioner H. F. Bowman,
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick began a systema
tic cotnt this afternoon. The location,
name, and size of the family and the
conditions, especially with reference
to the small children, will be included
In the data.
"We'll try to get together to-mor
row morning If possible to settle this
matter," declared Commissioner Bow
man. "As Mayor Meals and Mr.
Lynch pointed out the conditions of
these poor families who have no ice
during this kind of weather are pretty
nearly intolerable. Cleanliness on the
premises and a little ice may help to
prevent contagion not only of Infantile
paralysis but of other diseases."
City's Only Case of
Infantile Paralysis Is
Rapidly Recovering
In a statement Issued to-day deal
ing with the infantile paralysis situa
tion Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, chief of the
city bureau of health and sanitation,
referred to Harrisburg's only case to
date—the illness of Edward Huber,
aged 19 months, of 127 Vine street—
as follows:
"While this case is one of very mild
form and is rapidly recovering every
necessary precaution has been taken
by this bureau to confine the infection
to the orriginal case. The premises are
under the usual quarantine restric
tions imposed by State law and which
we know are being carefully observed
by the family."
In order to correct certain state
ments that had been published rela
tive to this patient and to allay any
unnecessary fears -Dr. Raunick ex
plained further how the illness was
discovered, diagnosed and quarantined.
The case was reported to the city
bureau Saturday by Dr. L. K. Graber
and his diagnosis was coincided with
by the bureau physicians following
the department's Investigation. Prompt
report was also made to the State
health authorities whose official rep
resentatives also concurred in Dr.
Graber's original diagnosis.
Postpone Action on
Overhead Bridge; Now
Up to City Planners
Council to-day postponed action on
the ordinance authorizing Swift and
Company to construct an overhead
bridge connecting their buildings
across Seventh street pending a report
on the measure by the City Planning
commission.
The ordinance which had been in
troduced a week ago by request was
on second reading to-day but was re
ferred to the Planners wltn a request
that the commission's action be re
ported to council within ten days.
The bridge, according to the ordi
nance, is to be built at a point about
fifty feet north of North street. It is
to have a width of not more than ten
feet, a clearance above the curb of at
least fifteen feet, and to be carried on
steel trusses approximately six feet
high. No columns or abutments are
to be cor*?tructed in the street and the
company is to be responsible for any
damages that may result during or
after its construction.
The ordinance authorizing the
opening and grading of Twenty
seventh street from iJcrry to Green
wood was passed finally and these new
measures were offered by Mr. Lynch:
Constructing a sewer in York street,
from Eighteenth to the eastern city
line at a cost not to exceed $350; con
structing a 15-inch storm sewer in
Swatara street from Eighteenth to
Nineteenth at a cost or not less than
SI4OO. By resolution offered by Mr.
Lynch council permitted the new
Christian Science Church to tap on
the city's sewer in Emerald street. In
accordance with an opinion from City
Solicitor Seitz council rerused to ex
onerate the same church from pay
ment of city taxes for 1916 on the
church property, because the ground
hadn't been formally purchased before
the tax levy was made.
For the first time since his illness
several months ago Mayor Ezra S.
Meals presided at to-day's session of
the commissioners.

RAILROAD
NEW SYSTEM TO
START NEXT WEEK
Plans For High and Color
Changes on Pennsylvania
Railroad Near Completion
Plans for changing signal lights on j
the Pennsylvania railroad will be com- '
pleteu this week and it Is expected that !
official orders will be Issued Saturday,'
effective on or about August 15.
As announced exclusively In the Tele
graph ten days ago. white lights are to
disappear from the Pennsylvania rail
road system for all signal purposes.
This has been decided upon because of
the confusion which Is apt to result ]
from the many white lights in various
uses which now appear at places to
bother engineers and trainmen.
Green Succeeds White
Green will replace white for "clear"
or "proceed," while a bright, distinctive
yellow, visible at great distances, will
be used for "caution." Red will con
tinue to mean "stop."
Not only will alterations have to be
made in all of the semaphore signals,
but the following devices will also be
affected: Marker lights on the rear of
passenger and freight trains, switch
lamps and targets, markers for track |
tanks, "slow" signs, "resume speed"
signs, hand lamps at interlocking and
block signal stations and lights dis
played to the public at crossing gates.
Lights for the latter purpose will be
red Instead of green, as at present.

Federal Mediators in
Touch With Situation
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. B.—Judge Wil
liam L. Chambers and G. W. W. Han
ger, members of the United States
Board of Mediation and Conciliation,
arranged to-day to go to New York to
night to get in touch with the threat
ened railroad strike situation. They
probably will be joined there by Judge
Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the
board.
The board has not yet received an
invitation from either side to mediate
in the controversy and under the law
cannot offer its services until a tie-up
in traffic is imminent. But the mem
bers of the board expect their services
will be required in the new future and
want to discuss the situation with the
representatives of the railroads and
their employes.
Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Labor already is in close touch with
the situation and has made several
reports to President Wilson. The
President will take no action person
ally unless all other agencies fail to
avert a break.
TEMPER AX CE PAYS THIS
FIRM AND MEN, TOO
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 8. Tem
perance pays. At least it does so far
as the 806 employes of the Philadel
phia Quartz Company are concerned.
With them, however, the reward for
total abstinence is not merely of a
moral nature, but one far more
tangible—a matter of dollars and
cents.
More than two years ago the officials
of this company, the offices of which
are located at 121 South Third street,
hit upon a novel method to promote
temperance anions; their men. If tem
perance can be made a paying proposi
tion, they concluded, the men will not
be slow to recognize its value. There
fore, it was decided to make a 10 per
cent, increase in the wages of those
employes who would sign a pledge.
All but a few have signed.

Appropriate $135,000 to Aid
Fight Against Paralysis
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 8. An act ap
propriating $85,000 for the use of the
Public Health Service is preventing
the spread of disease and $50,000 for
additional assistant surgeons, was
signed to-day by President Wilson. The
money is available immediately and
will be used in the campaign to check
the infantile paralysis epidemic.
It was announced at the Public
Health Service bureau to-day that
Passed Assistant Surgeon J. R. Hud
ley at Washington and Assistant Sur
geon J. B. Laughlin at New Orleans,
had been ordered to New York, to
join the staff now there fighting
against the paralysis scourge.
Strengthening of the force was neces
j sary partially because of the action
of the Pennsylvania Health authori
ties, declaring a quarantine against
the disease.
Health Service officials say the
$50,000 for additional assistant sur
geons will provide about 22 more
men. Examinations will be held
throughout the country as soon as

DENOUNCING MEDICINES
Wholesale denunciation of propri
etary medicines is no more justifiable
than wholesale denunciation of the
medical profession. It is no more
true thSt there are reputable physi
cians who unselfishly devote thgir
lives to an unending struggle with
disease than that there are stand
ard remedies which do as good a
work: oftf?n where the work of the
good physician cannot reach. A good
example is Lydle E. flnkham's Vege
table Compound, which has for forty
years been alleviating the sufferings
of women and curing the ills peculiar
to their sex.—Advt.
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 arid prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This driea
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), is much better than
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it In. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundant of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath
er rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair driea
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
tine, and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.—Advertisement.
have recovered to give small quantities
of their blood so that a serum could
be obtained and administered to those
now victims of similar attack. It
was stated that this appeal was made
at the request of the Department of
Health and of several physicians who
are foremost in the tight against the
plague.
Physicians said that owing to a lack
of serum with which to make num
erous conclusive tests, its value haa
not yet been fully proved, but indicat
ed that there was a possibility that,
if administered early enough it would
prevent paralysis and save the patient
from becoming crippled. There haa
been much discussion of this claim
and it has been questioned by other
physicians.
Twelve Volunteer to Give
Blood to Plague Victims
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 8. Twelve per
sons who have recovered from attacks
of infantile paralysis have volunteered
to give quantities of their blood to b«
used in the preparation of serum for
the treatment of the disease, as the
result of an appeal for volunteers in
fighting the epidemic. Sufficient blood
was taken from two of the volunteers
to treat nine cases.
The health commissioner again ap
pealed to physicians and laymen to co
operate in causing the collection of as
much of the serum as possible. Dr.
Haven Emerson, the commissioner,
said that forty patients have been
treated with the serum from immune
subjects and the results have been so
satisfactory that he would continue.
He declared that the physicians are
not yet in a position to say the serum
has proved its curative value, but its
use has been such as to justify a care
ful trial.

HOW TO BE RID OF
DISGUSTING DANDRUFF
The only way to be permanently rid
of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to
correct Its cause. Washing merely
cleanses the scalp for a few days, and
soon the scales form again as thick
as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Parisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub in with the finger tips
for a few minutes, until the scalp ah.
sorbs it. Go over the entire head in
this same manner.
A few days' massage with Parisian
Sage will destroy the germs that cause
the dandruff to form. The scalp be
conies healthy, the hair will grow bet.
ter and show more life and vitality
and you need never be troubled b>
dandruff again. Faded, dull or lifeless
hair is quickly restored to beauty b>
this simple process, which is absolute
ly harmless to hair and scalp, as it
contains no poisonous wood alcohol
and will not stain the hair or make
it greasy.
Parisian Sage can be obtained from
H. C. Kennedy and druggists every
where. It is not expensive.—Advt.
