Pa. Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses, and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say I hey h.'ive thrown them away. One man says, after using it: "I was al most blind. Could not see to read at all. Now 1 can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel line all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used it says; "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for 15 days everything seems clear. I can read even line print without glasses." Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which in duced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for . several years both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the typewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long dis tance classes altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my joy at what it has done for me."

Abbott and I other speakers declared the aims of j the organization are similar to those of the Bolsheviki in Russia, and they demanded liberty for all. "Although the members of the I. W.

FOR RED CROSS BEGINS HERE j City to Sell 500,000 Seals to Help Overcome Ravages of Tuberculosis • The biggest drive in the history of the Red Cross Christmas Seal move ment is being made this year. Al ready 440,000.000 of the little Christ mas stickers have been printed and distributed throughout the United States. Harrisburg has received as its portion 500,000 seals, which means that $5,000 will be raised here with which to light the "white plague" if every seal is sold. Practically every department of the community life is aiding in the sale. The children of the public schools will, as heretofore, dispose of the bulk of the seals. In addition, the merchants have decided to aid the work by using the seals on all wrap pers during the period between De cember 15 and 22, and the banks will do their share. • Then there will be the special sales among lodges and industrial estab lishments; the Boy Scouts will take part in the work and during the pres ent week a corps of girls appearing at the Majestic will sell the seals to the public. The demand for stamps has been unparalleled. Agents in every state and territory of the union, from Alas ka to the Canal Zone and from Porto Kico and Hawaii and even in far-off Philippines, have been making de mands for the seals. Through these agencies the seals will be distributed to the local and state antituberculosis associations and to other agencies through which they will reach the public. Every effort is being made this year to stimulate the sale of the seals so the $3,000,000 fund, which is the objective, will be realized. The country's entry into the war and the consequent revelation of the prev alence of tuberculosis ami the danger in which the disease has placed our army has added incentive to the cam paign. Every man, woman and child is being asked to treble the amount of Red Cross Seal purchases this year. If each bought a hundred seals last year, they are to be asked to buy three hundred this year, as the an nual fund to be raised must be in creased from the 1916 total of sl,- 000,000 to $3,000,000. Few people who buy the little mes sages of Christmas cheer realize that more than 1,500 antituberculosis as sociations of the country derive their chief support from Red Cross Christ mas Seals.

Reading, Dec. 4.— The ten-story potato patch built at the Bethany Orphans' Home, Womelsdorf, by boy gardeners last summer turned out to be a failure. The superintendent, the Rev. W F. More, read about a similar potato pen or railed enclosures that yield ed many potatoes, and the boys de rided to make the experiment. It was built on a scale that should have y.elded forty-two bushels. We got at least forty-two po tatoes out of the pen," writes the sti r erintendent to a friend, "arid all of them were on the top floor.

HABJRISBURG TELEGRAPH TECH CELEBRATESj GREAT VICTORY Every Member of Football Team is Called Upon to Speak Before School The 700 members of the four classes of the Technical High School celebrated their 6 4 to 0 vic tory over Central, at the chapel ex ercises, when every member of the victorious eleven was called on for a speech and members of the alumni and faculty spoke. Tribute was paid to the scrubs, each member of the team, the alum ni and all the factors of the school that made the victory possible. Coach Ryan was lauded for his splendid work during the season. He was given credit for putting the necessary "pep" and dash Into the winning eleven. At the opening of the exercises P. G. Diener presented the silver foot ball to Tech. The trophy has been contested for three times and was to go to the winner of it the great er number of times. Central won the cup the first year bv a 34 to 0 score, while last year the 0-0 tally again gave Central the right to re tain the cup. Now the cup comes to Tech and will remain at that In stitution until the question is final ly determined. A tossup will de termine the tlnal place for the tro phy. Max Reiter presented a cup that becomes a permanent posses sion because of the Thanksgiving victory. Both Mr. Diener and Mr. Reiter likened the Tech backtteld to "hu man tanks" and said that if the American troops would light with the same determination as the Tech team did they would defeat several ££T man armies "Jim" Shope, Wartie" Cless and "Ba" Tittle spoke in behalf of the alumni. All expressed the graduates' apprecia tion for the splendid victory. Every speaker voiced the opinion that the hiffh score went beyond the expec tations of all. Never Refused to Play Speakers pointed out the fact that Tech has held its own and "then some" since Tech is a four-year school. The Maroon school never had any hesitancy to tackle the larger school, even when there was an enrollment of only sixtv pupils The first year Tech played Centrai twice, it was pointed out The players told about the trip to Dauphin and of the great amount of sood that, the outing did for them.

BUch motor soup kitchens have been sent to France by the fund, and are already in use in the Aisne and Som*ie districts. These kitchens, which are fully equipped ar > driven by American women. The women who drive the soup kltehans have had experience in rushing supplies from Paris to out lying hospitals. They have been forced to meet all sorts of emer gencies alone and have learned too be ready for another task when one Is completed. Three New Tork women have re cently joined the American fund unit operating in the devastated Aisne region. They will help drive the new motor soup kitchens and aid in the distribution of peasant garments made in the workshops of the American Fund for French Wounded, it is important to France these workers say, that the destitute people coming from under the Ger man yoke be met with these com forts. "The morale of these people while they were under German rule never failed them," writes one of the work ers. "Their hope of being retaken by the French never faltered. But now they are back of the lines and in the midst of the confusion, they are bewildered, and they need the com -mon necessities of life. Moreover such of the people as have been brought to Paris become discour aged. They are homesick for the ground that was theirs even though it is devastated. They want their bit of land even if there is nothing left ol their homes. If they can be assist ed back and helped to rebuild their houses and their lives they will be part of Fraiice again. We must do all we can to help them." EVERYBODY'S FOR DECEMBER Samuel Hopkins Adams begins an important series of articles on secret German activity in this country.
