RAILROADS READY
FOR CO-OPERATION
Every Department Will Have
Mail at Important Points;
To Select Experts
Now York, April 9. The War De
partment and the railroads of the coun
try have completed a plan of co-opera
tion during the war, it was announced
by Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway and chairman of the
special committee on national defense
of the American Railway Association.
"As Bgreed upon by the railroads and
the military authorities," Mr.'Harri
son's statement in part said, "represen
tatives of the American Railway Asso
ciation from the operating', motive
power, traffic and accounting depart
ments of roads, designated by the spec
ial committee of national defense of the
American Railway Association will be
located in the office of the quartermas
ter general, at each mobilization point,
at each concentration point and at each
strategic point at which troops are to
be assembled.
"Other inspectors or representatives
will be designated as may be required
to facilitate the co-operation between
the transportation lines and the mili
tary service and as the needj of the
service may indicate."
Mr. Harrison stated the carriers had
been advised that thes transportation
experts "should be chosen from a class
of men who will be broad-minded and
temperamentally of such a character as
would take a broad view of transpor
tation in movements and supplies."
It was urged that they should show
no disposition "to work for or in favor
of any particular transportation line."
but should devote their energy "solely
to the solution of the transportation
problem In the manner most satisfac
tory to the Government and in such
fashion as can bo most effectively exe
cuted by the railroads."

BALTIMORE MEET
OFF INDEFINITELY
War Makes It Impossible to
Provide Special Trains at
This Time
Orders were issued to-day postpon
ing indefinitely the annual system
meet of the Pennsylvania railroad. It
was scheduled to take place at Balti
more next Saturday. War conditions
made the postponement compulsory.
The first interruption of plans came
when the lease of the Armory at Bal
timore was canceled by the Maryland
National Guard authorities. Later it
was announced that it would be Im
possible to provide the accommoda
tions for taking the big crowds to and
from Baltlhiore.
All Departments
The meet includes all departments
of the Pennsylvania railroad east of
Pittsburgh and Erie. It was estimated
that 20,000 people would attend. Spe
cial trains were to run from Renovo,
Altoond, Reading, New York,. Phila
delphia and Harrisburg. Plans were
underway to take 2,500 from Harris
burg.
No arrangement has been made to
play off the finals in the various con
tests. It is probable that the com
mittee will arrange for the special
events in various cities. Harrisburg
may get the billiard contest and the
bowling and basketball matches. The
committee in charge of the system
meet will get together at an early
date and decide upon futuFe plafts.

To Relieve Catarrh
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises
Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affliction
can usually be successfully treated at
home by an internal medicine that in
many Instances has effected complete
relief after other treatments have
failed. Sufferers who could scarcely
hear have had their hearing restored
to such an extent that the tick of a
watch was plainly audible seven or
eight inches away from either car.
Therefore, if you know of someone who
is troubled with head noises or catar
rhal deafness, cut out this formula and
hand it to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. The pre
scription can be prepared at home and
is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Par
mint (Double Strength), about 75
cents' worth. Take this home and add
to It Vi pint of hot water and 4 oz. ot
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take ono tabiespoonful four times a
day.
Parmlnt is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the Inflamma
tion and swelling In the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pres
sure on the drum, but to correct any
excess of secretions in the middle ear,
and the results It gives are nearly al
ways quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh In any
form should give this recipe a trial-

EtXRRISBURG TEtEORXPH
FIFTY MEN JOIN
U. S. ARMY HERE
Recruits Coming in So Fast
Captain Ilarrell Is Losing
Count, He Says
"Recruits, not only from the city ]
but from surrounding counties in our
district are coming in so fast that 1
iam losing account of them," is the
I way Captain William P. Harrell of the
local army recruiting station speaks of
the rally of the young men of the
country to her defuse. "Fifty men
to-day and 10 in the last seven days
is our record."
Large squads of men came to Har
rlsburg to-day from surrounding
towns, including Johnstown, Mahanoy
] City and seven men trom Atillersburg.
IU'IIIS morning six men volunteered
their willingness to join the colors bo
fore the men in the recruiting station
had started their morning work.
Harrisburg' has been well to the
fore in number of recruits. Seven
teen men were examined on Saturday
and this morning were sent to Fort
Hlocum.
In case of a call for 500,000 volun
teers the allotment lrom this district
Which Includes 20 counties would be
300 men per day for a month. Harris
burg with a population of 1)2,000
would have to furnish 15 men each
day. Captain Harrell feels confident
that this number of men could be fur
nished without dlfilcultv.
Captain Harrell believes that with
the added enthusiasm ,und spirit that
a call for volunteers would bring there
would be no difficulty in furnishing
the men.
Captain Ilarrell remarked on the
fact that Harrisburg was one of the
few cities where civilians were not
actively interested in personal recruit
ing. in Philadelphia and other cities
|of the country private citizens have
furnished automobiles to tour the
town and surrounding country for
men. Pretty girls usually accompany
these automobiles on their tours for
recruits, adding the effectiveness of
feminine charm to the sound argu
ments that the recruiting oflicers can
offer to prospects. Captain Harrell
has volunteered his willingness to fur
nish uniformed men to accompany
any such expeditions.
Quartermuster Quirk during the last
two weeks has sent 20 men to Phila
delphia who have been accepted. Ap
plications for service in the navy how
ever. have fallen off since Uie formal
declaration of war.
CULTIVATION OF
LOTS IS URGED

bring the porties who have the time
and inclination to cultivate vacant
lots in touch with owners of vacant
lots who are public-spirited enough
to permit others to cultivate them if
they can not do so.
[ The Chamber of Commerce is ap
proaching this matter from a practi
cal standpoint believing the cultiva
tion of vacant lots by industrious peo
ple is a matter that is not connected
with charity in any way.
The Agricultural Committee requests
that nil parties who are willing to
cultivate a vacant lot if it can bo
"placed at their disposal 'phone or
write to the Secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, E. L. McCoigin, 90S
Kunkel Building. The committee re
quests that such parties also familiar
ize themselves with any vacant iots In
their neighborhood and report the lo
cation of vacant lots near them to the
Chamber whe.i advising their willing
ness to cultivate lots.
On the other hand, the Committee
requests that property owners, agents
and others controlling vacant lots in
Harrisburg that are willing to place at
the disposal of parties who are will
ing to cultivate them during the com
j ing food shortage communicate the
particulars about such lots to Mr.
! MoColgin by 'phone or by letter.
| In taking the matter in this prelimi
nary wuy, the Chamber of Commerce
is endeavoring to learn the possibilities
| of the situation and appeals to people
| of Harrisburg to arouse themselves to
ithe need of cultivating property with
i in city limits.
A dinner meeting of the Retail Mer
i chants in Harrisburg who are mem
! hers of the Harrisburg Chamber of
: Commerce will be held tit the Harris
burg dub at C:3O p. m. Wednesday, to
discuss matters of interest to the re
|tai! trade.
I A luncheon meeting of the entire
membership of the Chamber of Com-
Imerce will be held at the Harrisburg
jclub at twelve o'clock Tuesday, April
12. Robert H. Patchin of New York
| City, Secretary of the National Foreign
Trade Council will address the meet
ing discussing matters connected with
foreign trade development.
Because so many Harrisburg firms
obtain a large share of their business
; from export orders, this meeting is ex
pected to be attended by a large
number of manufacturers, bankers,
and men of affairs.

considerable.
The fighting line fram Lens to Ar

length and lies directly north of the
Held of the retreat which the Germans
have been conducting for the past sev
eral weeks.
The fact that the line has been pene
trated by the British all along this
wide front indicates that the move
ment there is a general offensive.
That it is proving a successful drive
in indicated by the statement that
"satisfactory progress" 13 being made
"at all points."
An entire new phase of operations
on the western front is opened up in
this new battlo on the Lens-Arras
line. The field of attack represents
the greatest danger point for the Ger
mans, as in the recent lighting a sharp
salient was driven into tho German
lino southeast of Arras.
In the Lens region, into which the
British are driving is a rich coal Held
which the Germans have been exploit
ing since their occupation of this ter
ritory early in the war.
The opening of the new offensive
had been foreshadowed in the intense
aerial activity of tho past two or three
days in which hundreds of airplanes
have been engaged on both sides.
This work, as British statements
have indicated, has given General
ilalg's staff photographic reproduc
tions of the German positions for long
distances behind the fighting line.
Further south the British have con
tinued their progress in the field of

Yes, that's just what you'll want to
do If that pet corn of yours ever feels
the magic touch of Ice-mint. Druggists
say that this new discovery which is
made from a Japanese product will
shrivel up the toughest old corn or cal
lous and make them lift out easily. It's
wondetful. No matter what you have
tried or how many times you have been
disappointed here is real help for you
at last. Ice-mint ends corn and foot
misery for good and there is not a bit
of pain or soreness when applying it or
afterwards. It draws the inflammation
out of swollen, tired or burning feet;
heals cracked or bleeding toes and Im
parts such a delightful, cooling, sooth
ing sensation that you just sigh with
relief. It's genuine, costs little and is
highly appreciated by women who wear
high heel shoes and by men who stand
on their feet all day. Try it. Ask your
'druggist to-day for a few cents' worth
of Ice-mint and give your poor, tired,
suffering, burning feet the treat of their
lives. There is nothing better.—Adver

CONFER ON FOOD

to St. Louis For Conference
on Increasing Supply .

v\\\ Q // E. Putton left to
\X\\\|gjk day ( or St. I.ouin
to take part in a
conference of agri
cultural chiefs of
|W ?£f 808 5k tlie country con
' JnfflSlWMtetf corning plans for
iicrcasi n g and
conserving the
fcg _ gpg J food supply of the:
country during tlio
yea r.
Secretary Pat ton was summoned by
a telegraphic message from United
States Secretary of Agriculture D. F.
Houston and the meeting will be at
tended by the head's fcf agricultural
departments of every state in the
Union. The entry of the United
States into the war has made the food
supply question a critical one, as tho
farmers of this country will not only
be called upon to feed the lmuicn.su
[army of this country, but probably to
help out in supplying food to tho
countries with which the United
j States will be allied in the struggle.
I Secretary Patton and Governor
| Brumbaugh have repeatedly called
j upon the people of Pennsylvania to
I use every available space of ground
| for the production of food this sum
mer. Secretary Patton lias asked
every housewife to put up all the
canned vegetables that it. is possiblo
to conserve and has called attention
to the enormous scarcity of tin cans
and the necessity for the conservation
and use of all glass receptacles.
Ilefore leaving Secretary Patton
sgld:
"Bvery food commodity must bo
brought to a maximum and I most
j urgently plead for a State-wide cam-
I'Tign for greater production of
I grains, potatoes, garden crops, fruits,
beef cattle, hogs, sheep, and dairy
supplies. Farmers should retain all
their breeding ewes this year and try
i to double the output of wool in this
j State. We are facing a serious situa
! tion and it cannot be made too cm
i pliatlc.
< "There should not be en Idle high
j school or college boy In the country
this summer. All can And employ
i inent on the farms and in agricui-
I tural. pursuits and be doing their bit.
I for their country while receiving fair
| pay from the farmers who are desir
j otis of help. Parents should sec that
I their boys are employed this year
: during the vacation months for by so
I doing they are taking patriotic steps
j in one of the most vital subjects be-
I fore us in years, the production and
I conservation of an ample food sup
| ply."

BLOOD AS A NERVE TONIC
"If people would only attend totheir
j blood, instead of worrying themselves
I ill," said an eminent nerve specialist,
'we doctors should not see our consult*
j in rooms crowded with nervous wrecks.
] More people gullet lrom worry than
: liotn anything else."
The sort ot tiling which the specialist
spoke ct is the nervous run-down con
dition caused by overwork and the
| many anxieties ot today. Suflerers
, find themselves tired, morose, low*
< spirited. Unable to keep their mind on
; anything. Any sudden noise hurts
J like a blow. They are lull ol grouhd*
| leas fears and cannot sleep at night.
Doctoring the nerves with poisonous
. j sedatives is a terrible mistake. Tie
i only real nerve tonic is a good supply
jof rich blood. Therefore the treatment
I for neurasthenia, nervousness, and run
! down health isthenew rich blood whicU
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are able to
j make. The revived appetite, improved
I spirits and new strength which coma
after a few days' use of the pills will
j delight every sufferer,
j The free booklet, "Diseases of the
j Nervous System" will interest you.
