4 STATE CARE FOR j, BLIND NEEDED [ $ Report Submitted to the Gov i ernor by Commissioners I Named Last Winter Recommend&Uon that the State of Pennsylvania provide for the feeble minded blind aa well aa for the blind who are able to work Is contained In a report of a commission named a year ago bythe Governor to study the subject. The commission was composed of men prominent In study of the blind and charities. The statement Is made that while there is much concern over the care of feeble-minded women, special at tention should be given to the feeble minded who can not see, it being suggested that classes of ten be formed at Polk ana other Institu tions. As to the blind who live at home, the report says that the agen cies to for them are very few and that efforts to teach such neopie to earn a living, as is done with adult blind who are normal mentally, ehould be undertaken. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia or ganizations have demonstrated what can be done with appropriations for the blind and there are big oppor tunities. It is suggested that classes be formed for children with weak eyes as has been done In Cleveland and that attendance be made com pulsory. The report goes Into great detail regarding the work of the institu tions for the blind In Philadelphia end Pittsburgh. > > Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair I If you want to keep your hair In ] good 'condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit- j tie, and Is very harmful. Just plain 1 iruilsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure J and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap J or anything else you can use for j shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rtch, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it tine and silky, bright, fluffy I and easy to manage. Tou can get mulsifled 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 Wife to Blame if Husband Drinks, Says Druggist Brown, of Cleveland, Who Tells Wife What To Do {I w Treatment Glvrn 'Without the loment or Knowledge of the Drinker. Cleveland, O. —No wife has a right to blame her husband because he Brinks, says Druggist Brown, of Cleve land. It is her fault if she lets him drink and bring unhappiness and pov erty to her home and she has no right to complain. A woman can stop a drinking husband in a few weeks for half what he would spend on liquor, so why waste sympathy on a wife who •refuses to do it. Druggist Brown also says the right time to stop the drink habit is at its beginning unless you Want to drink to deaden the tine sen sibilities of the husband you love. Be gin with the first whiff of liquor on his breath, but do not despair if he has gone from bad to worse until he is rum-soaked through and through. Druggist Brown knows the curse of Strong drink because he himself has been a victim. He was rescued from the brink of a drunkard's grave by a loving sister who, after ten years' time, revealed the secret to him. She saved him from drink—rescued him from his own depraved self, by giving him a secret remedy, the formula of an old German chemist. To discharge his debt to her and to help other vic tims out of the murk and mire he has made the formula public. Any drug gist can put It in the hands of anv suffering wife, mother, sister or daughter. Just ask the druggist for prepared Tescum powders and drop a powder twice a day In tea, coffee, milk or any other drink.

This shows that cattle can be fed at a profit in this State at the present price of feed. Agricultural leaders of the State have been urging more attention to livestock on the farms and the result obtained on the State farm as an nounced by Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton shows the profit that can be made* in this" line of agriculture. The twenty head of cattle were purchased last October for $1,116.80 and placed on the farm where the Livestock Sanitary Board makes its cattle disease serums and conducts experiments that will help to keep the livestock of the farmers of the State free from disease epidemics. Under the direction of Secretary Patton the twenty head of cattle were sold last week through com petitive bidding and $2,320 were realized, an increase of $1,203.20 over the purchase price. The cost of feeding and labor lor the six months was $829.50 as follows: 250 bushels of shelled corn at $1.15 a bushel, $287.50; 75 tons of poor ensilag® at $3.00, $225.00; 7 tons of alfalfa nay at $12.00 a ton, $84.00; 3 tons cottonseed meal, sl4 3.00 and labor, part time of one man at $15.00 a Hionth. $90.00. During the feeding period 116 wagon loads of mannru were realized and conservative value of one dollar a load placed on it. This made a total cost of $1,946.30 for the purchase, feed and care of the cattle during the six months and the amount realized was $2,320.00 from the sale of cattle and $116.00 from the manure or $2,436, making a profit of $489.70.

One woman who used this proscrip tion on her husband says: "It is going on the fourth week since lip liiis touched a drop of anything in the form of liquor or used tobacco of any kind. He seems already like a dif ferent man. Tescum has gained a wonderful enthusiast in me. I regard it as a Godsend. Just think, I have never seen my husband sober for more than 48 hours in years and now it is going on one month since he had his last drink." Another one gratefully writes: "1 have used tescum powders on my hus band and find it one of the greatest cures in this world. He hasn't taken a drink for almost Ave weeks and says he never will. My home does not seem like the same place and life seems worth living. I hope thousands gain what I have. This has been a good new year for me without drink in my h<jme." NOTE—Tescum, referred to above, should be used only when it Is desir able to destroy all taste for alcoholic drinks of every kind. The wife who approves of drinking In moderation and believes her husband safe should give it only when she sees, as most do in time, that the danger line Is near. Since this formula has been made public J. Nelson Clark and other druggists have filled it repeatedly.— Advertisement. FORT NIAGARA TRAINING CAMP IS RICH IN HISTORICAL LORE Harrisburgers Find Location Ideal; Food Especially Good; "Breaking-in Period" Being Passed With Few Aches and Pains (Spccia I Corres|M>nilcnoc.) Fort Niagara, X. Y. t May 16. Following the formal opening of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp here yesterday, the 2.134 candidates for commissions in Uncle Sam's first 'conscript army got down to their long daily grind which will end with examinations in August, and possi bly commissions. The men will find but little spare time for plesure. The schedule as prepared by Colonel Samuel C. Mil ler, and posted Saturday, provides for sixteen hours and forty minutes action in each twenty-four. The re maining seven hours and twenty minutes are the recruit's, to do as he pleases, but he's supposed to be in bed. and the chances are that each night will find him there, after that long grind. it is expected that the vacancies allotted to the National Guard of Pennsylvania. 366, will bo tilled some time next week, surely by the end of the month. Then the total t-oster of the camp will contain 2,500 names, which with the reserve offi cers, on duty here, instructors and post staff, will bring the total to over 2.800 men. Some thirty cooks and 200 waiters. all negroes, brings the total to mo're than three thousand. Strenuous Routine The daily routine or the post Is a strenuous one. The nien rise at 5.20 o'clock and from then until 10 o'clock they have but little time in which to enjoy the surroundings, which arc most ideal. Field work occupies their time during the day light hours, and after , the evening meal they must pore over their text books. for during their three months tcur of training they must absorb li e contents of fourteen volumes. Replete With History Situated as it is on the Canadian frontier, the Niagara river and on the south shore of Lake Ontario, it is one of the most admirably ap pointed camps in the country. The territory is replete with the country's early history, dating back to the middle of the seventeenth century. During this period the flags of three nations, all now allied against the Germans, have alternately floated over the post, and each has left its lc.idmarks which will stand for many years to come. The French held the post on two occasions and the British wrested it from them on both occasions, each time with the aid of the Indians. There was no actual conquest on the ground at the time the post was finally handed over to the United States long after the close of the Revolution, although a few years later they tried to re capture it. That was during the war of 1812. The first mention of Fort Niagara, or the post at the mouth of the Ni agara river, was in 1689, when Rob ert Cavelier de 1a Salle sailed down the St. Lawrence river and built a hut on the present site of the post. Ten years later he returned with a ! commission from the French govern-1 ment and built a fort which was known as Fort Conti. This was sub- I sequently strengthened by the Mar quis de Le Noville, who efected four bastions and left a garrison of one hundred men well provisioned. This was in 1687. The following year the French were compelled to abandon the fort. It had been besieged by the Seneca Indians all winter and the garrison had been reduced by sickness and death to a dozen men. The French, anxious to recover the territory because of its richness in furs, endeavored to and finally succeeded in regaining the favor of the Seneca Indians, winning theft goodwill from the British. With their help they finally triumphed over the British and in 1719 the ROAD BUILDING ON THE BATTLE LINE Members of Mission Tells Experi ences I'nder Fire New York, April 15. —With the arrival of the Balfour mission late has been obtained re garding road-building methods fol lowed in the war regions of France and Belgium.

Under their dominion over the post the fort was considerably strengthened and much of the works now standing are of French con struction. In 1725 they erected a blockhouse which still stands. A few years later they succeeded In still further fortifying the place by a ruse. They induced the Indians to join a party on a hunting trip in land, and when they returned the' first story of what is known as the French Castle, a massive three story stone building,\ had been com pleted. Nearby they'had also plant ed three Lombardy poplars, brought here from France. These trees, mr.sslve In their perpendicular maj esty, still stand close to the shore of Lake Ontario. It was not until 1759 that the Rritish succeeded in regaining pos session of the post. Two years pre vious to this, an expedition under Colonel Braddock. of Revolutionary fame, started west -through New ork State for the purpose "of re taking Fort Niagara. They met de feat at the hands of the Indians. In this expedition was George Washing ton, who later became the first pres ident of the United States. Anticipating trouble with the Brit ish. the French strengthened the post, and the earthworks they erect ed at this time still remain. • The British column with the In dian allies, under command of Sir William Johnson, numbered one thousand men. The post was garri soned by five hundred French and Indians, and after a short siege the French surrendered, and the French flag was forever banished from this section. Once In possession of the post, the British immediately begun strength ening the fort. Buildings were erect ed. Several of them remain to-day. but In the main the innrfr works are practically the same as when the British wrested it from the French. The British retained undisputed pos session of the past until thirteen years after the close of the Revolu tion. It was not until June I, 1796. that the Union Jack was hauled down 1 from. Fort Niagara, and Old Glory . run to the top of the masthead. I This was through disputes as to the! right to give title to ihe land. Di rectly across the river, in Canada, is Fort Mississaugua. over which the Union Jack has floated continuously since about the time the British wrested Fort Niagara from the French. It is on these grounds that thousands of Canadian troops now in the trenches in France received their training. Prison of Morgan One of the buildings at Fort Ni aara. a powder magazine built by the British, was for three days the prison home of one William Mor gan, who in 1826 attempted to pub lish a pamphlet exposing the secrets of Masonry. It was on the night of September 13, 1526, that Morgan, ac companied by three others, entered the fort, then unoccupied, and Mor j Kan was locked in the stone building, which contains but one window. He ! disappeared from there, and the supposition, although never proved, | is that he was taken out Into i Ontario and drowned. This fact hae I never been proved. Neither has his disappearance ever been satisfac torily explained. As a result of this disappearance, an anti-Masonic agitation swept the country, entering local, state and even national politics. Such was the furore which swept the country that many arrests were made and three men were tried on charges of com plicity In the abduction of Morgan, convicted and sentenced. strable to build the highest types of road surface for the temporary or emergency movement of artillery and supplies. Roads built with as phalt sent over from England have recently been constructed in the rear of the French-elgium - front. Roads so improved gave far better service than any type heretofore attempted under the swift and heavy move ments necessitated by the artillery action which precedes infantry at tacks. It was observed that motor trucks and gun carriages suffered |no injury in movement over these hastily constructed asphalt pave- I ments, while frequent breakdowns : were experienced when road-build | ing was not attempted, j will be subject to a three percent. | o These experiments being done, a mission including officers of the Brlt ' ish and French engineer corps look i ed over the pavements In the envir ! ons of Paris built In the last three [or four years. Among other roads j inspected early in this month was I the Trinidad asphalt pavement laid on the road to Versailles which has j been carrying heavy artillery traffic I ever since the war began.
