10 12 U-Boats Reported Captured in Two Days by Device of America Sew York, April 17.—America has perfected a device that Is so effective against the German submarines that it has captured more than a dozen of them within two days, according to Charles E. Mitchell, president of the National City Company. "Within the last hour," he said, "I have received word from a most reliable source that America has put forward a new Invention which has been tried against the German Ü boats, and that this Invention was so successful that more than a dozen Bubmersibles were captured within a space of two days." Following his address, Mr. Mitch ell refused to elaborate upon his statement, or give the source of his information. "Not another word," he said, "that Is all that I can say." Mr. Mitchell also confirmed the report that the United States had perfected a new poison nas, much more effective than anything now used in Europe.

SKIN ABLAZE WITH ECZEMA CONSTANT ITCHING AL MOST UNBEARABLE Only those afflicted with Ec zema, with its terrifying irri tation and ceaseless itching know what constant torture this disease can cause. The dis ease appears in different ways, sometimes with a reddening and irritation of the skin, sometimes in the form of blisters. Other cases of Eczema take the form of a dry, scaly condition of the skin that cracks and peels. But no matter in what form the dis- ease appears, k is a source of constant fiery irritation that is well-nigh unbearable. Eczema is very often consid ered a skin disease. This is a natural mistake, as it attacks the skin and it is through the skin that it causes so much dis comfort and suffering But the real seat of the disease is the blood. The germs of Eczema are in the blood, and the irri tated and diseased condition of the skin is the result of the germs trying to break out of the system. Beyond the use of antiseptics to promote cleanli ness, there is no local treatment that will accomplish a perma nent cure of this disease. And those who have been relying al together upon salves, soaps, ointments and other local appli cations to the skin will find that no permanent good will come from such treatment by itself. Read how Basil M. Lanneau, who resides on Confederate Avenue, in Atlanta, Ga., found relief from this terrifying dis ease, after all local treatment had failed. He writes: I Hot Water Each Morning | | Puts Roses in Your Cheeks £ T ~ • - - ...llm* .. •> To look one's best and feel one's hest is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fer mentations and poisonous toxins be fore It is absorbed into the blood, just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom bustible material in the form of nshes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary or gans a- certain amount of indigesti ble material, which, if not eliminat ed, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are Intended to suck in only nourish ment to sustain the body. If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water ■with a teaspoopful of limestone phosphate in it, which .. a harmless means of washing the waste mate rial and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus rleanslng, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, before WEDNESDAY EVENING, American Staff Chief, Missing After Action, Returns With Prisoner By Associated Press Washington, April 17.—Members of Secretary Baker's party on the trip to Europe brought to Washing ton to-day new details about the ex ploit of Colonel Douglas Mac Arthur, f6rmer War Department censor, who recently Joined a French company In storming a trench and carao back with a prisoner. Going with the French by special permission, the colonel was missing when the action was over. He soon reappeared, leading a big Bavarian officer by the ear with one hand and swinging a riding whip with the other. Colonel Mac Arthur, who Is chief of staff of one of the American divisions, was decorated with the French cross of war for the part he played. M. I. KAST BLBOTBD IIKAI) OF ARCHITKCTS Miller I. Kast, of Harrlsburg, was elected president of the Southern Pennsylvania Chapter, American In stitute of Architects, held at the Uni versity Club yesterday afternoon. Relnhard Dempwolf. York, was elect ed as vice-president; Edward Eeber, secretary, and W. E. Billmyer, treas urer. Reports of committees were followed by a dinner, addresses be ing made at the dinner by Prof. How ard R. Omwake, president of the University Club, and William M. Earnest. "I suffered with a most aggra vated case of Eczema, the itch ing being so severe that I could not sleep. I used thirteen pounds of ointment, tried nearly every skin remedy, besides being treat ed by two skin specialists. Xam now convinced that Eczema is nothing but a blood trouble, for after taking several bottles of S. S. S. I am entirely cured." Years of untold suffering can be avoided if the real cause of a disease can be definitely de termined, and the proper meth od of treatment employed. Hence those afflicted with Ec zema will continue to suffer as long as they consider the dis ease a condition of the skin, and rely solely upon local applica tions of salves, ointments and similar remedies. If you really want to be cured you must rea lize that the disease is in the blood, and you can expect relief only from treatment that is di rected toward cleansing the blood of the disease germs. This is why S. S. S. is so successful in the treatment of Eczema and all other diseases of the blood; because it acts as an antidote to any impurity that finds lodg ment in the blood. 'Being pure ly vegetable and guaranteed not to contain a particle of mineral substance, it is an exceptionally fine tonic, and besides elimi nating from the blood all traces of impurity, it builds up and strengthens the entire system at the same time. We invite everyone afflicted with Eczema, or other blood or skin disease, to write our med ical department for advice) which is gladly given without charge. Full instructions as to how to treat your own individ ual case will be gladly furnished by our chief medical adviser, who is an expert on these dis eases. Address Swift Specific Co., 407 Swift Laboratory, At lanta, Ga. putting more food into the stomach. Girls and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid complexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are both ered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two •ek. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to dem onstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the Inside organs. We must always con sider that internal sanitation is vast ly more important than outside cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into tjie blood, while the bowel pores do. Women who desire to enhance the beauty of their complexions should just try this for a week and notice results.

RAILROAD RUMBLES PENNSY BORROWS MANY ENGINES Governmcnt Locomotives Aid in Big Hush on the Main Line How badly motive power was needed by American railways, par ticularly the Pennsylvania system, is shown by a tabulated report in the current issue- of Railway Age, which indicates that the Pennsy has bor rowed 138 engines from the Govern ment and other railroads. On the Pennsylvania Railroad proper, or the lines east of Pitts burgh and Erie, thirty-five locomo tives were obtained from other roads, while twenty-eight werej turned over to the company by the 1 United States authorities, making a] total of sixty-three borrowed en gines on the Pennsy. West of Pittsburgh Eleven Government locomotives and sixty-four from foreign sys tems are in service on the Pennsyl vania lines west of Pittsburgh, or a total of seventy-five. The Keystone system lias more temporarily lent motive power than any road in the country, according to the table. Erie railway officials report fifty- Iwo borrowed engines working on their lines, while the Baltimore and Ohio is third in the list with thirty eight, none of it being U. S. A. equipment. The Long Island Rail road and Grand Rapids and Indiana, both . Pennsylvania-owned railways, each have three engines not their own. New York Central Second The New York Central system, sec ond to the Pennsy, has only four borrowed locomotives, having fur nished much of its extensive motive power to contemporary roads, but is carrying on its vast volume of traffic. Altoona railroaders will be partic ularly Interested in this report, as the Pennsy has been handling the bulk of the milltar- traffic accruing from the war, although severe weather last winter and relative conditions caused serious impedi ments to motive power. Some bor rowed engines were in service on the Middle and Pittsburgh divisions, but no U. S. A. locomotives were seen in this section. Big Army of Women Fill P. R. R. Positions Sixty-five hundred and thirteen wo men are holding down sixty-one dif ferent, classes of jobs on the Pennsyl vania Railroad lines east of Pitts burgh, according to a statement Just compiled for the period up to March. This is an increase of more than 3.000 women since May 1, 1917, when the railroad advertised for women to take the places of men called away to war and other positions. Included in ' the positions held by women are those requiring every thing from brains and specialized training to brawn of the track-clear ing variety. The largest single class of women employes is "clerks and stenographers." of which there were 3,551 on March 1. There were 293 track laborers, 192 messengers and assistants, 778 telephone operators and 121 typists. Twenty-nine women are employed as machine, hands; t\ve as mechanics' helpers; twenty of them are draghts women. There are four painters and six hammer operators. Two operate turntables and seven are power op erators In electrical plants. The company has one woman classed as a coal inspector. As a whole, the wo men are said to be giving the utmost satisfaction. Railroad Notes Thomas T. Weirman, special agent of the Pennsy real estate department, was in York'yesterday. Passenger department employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad will wear summer uniforms beginning, May 13. H. M. Durgin and Walter G. Mann, Pennsylvania Railroad freight brake men, aro on the sick list.
