WARRIOR JUSTICE
 RENDERS DECISION
 FOR BEAM C0NCt RN
Settles Dispute as to Merits of
 Noted Birmingham Product.

It is very gratifying to a conscien- tious concern, to have it's product merit the pronounced endorsement of man of such conservative judgment as Mir. E. D. Burns, Justice of the Peace at Warrior, Ala.
 In conversation with a representa- tive yesterday Mir. Burns said: Ut is my opinion tha Sulftrro-Sol gave me more and quicker relief from my severe stomach trouble than any other remedy 1 have ever used.
 q was tortured, at times, with se- were pains in my stomach and sour ness and belching kept me miserable. l got bottle of Sulferro-Sol and was surprised to find that within four days l had found relief. In a week the symptoms had disappeared.
 'I only needed to take one bottle and the results have been most grati- flying. I feel that Sulferro-Sol is worthy of my hearty endorsement and I recommend it whenever the oppor- tunity offers because I believe in it and know what it will do."
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and reeom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of its great healing and building powers.

These men have shown their will lingness to serve Uncle Sam in the time of need. Some have passed the physical requirements and some have not. Those that do not come up to the requirements are honored just as much by showing that they are will ing and ready to go.
 Those who wish to enlist in the navy must make application soon, as there is no doubt that in very short time the required number will be en- listed. The navy is still short about 29,OOO. It will only be a week or so till that number will be had.
 Men wishing to make application for examination apply to Recruiting Officer l. E. Putnam, who is located in the Guthrie Drug Store at Prescott.

 Gen. Lloyd England, chairman of the Stat Council, presided. The ses- sion was devoted to a discussion of the various phases of activity of the Council, a plea for cooperation and the urging of completion of the county organizations.
 H. L. Remmel has been appointed chairman of the Four-Minute Men, who are volunteering throughout the state to make four-minute talks in the moving picture houses, explain ing the war, and giving the people a clear understanding of the reasons we are in it.
 Capt. N. M. Carrtmell, at the head of the recruiting service here, re- ported that Arkansas had dropped from about the 30th place to about the fifty-fifth place among the GA re- cruiting stations of the country, since the opening of the war, and urged the cooperation of all the county coun- cils through their various agencies in securing a more liberal response to the call for men for the regular army. Arkansas has secured only 7S6 of the 5000 allotted the state. Each county will be credited on it's draft allotment with the number of men enlisted since the registration on June 5.

Famous Old Trees
in Capitol Park Are
Damaged by Storm

Capitol Park lost ten of it's finest
trees, including one planted by the
late Governor James A. Beaver and
others planted by prominent State Of
hcials in years gone by in the storm
which hit the city yesterday after
noon. The famous umbrella tree, the
largest one of the kind in Pennsyl-
Nania and occupying a place near the
state Library, was stripped of its
foHage and only the bare trunk re-
mains. One of the largest elms at
Third and Locust street entrance, oft
en- sketched by people, was uprooted
and in the northern end of the park
elm and oak trees were torn, while
the naples on the Third street side
some of them forty years old, had
branches torn from them. Over fifty
trees were damaged and some Of the
dwarf trees were so badly cut that
wholesale tree surgery will be neces-
sary.
Between the holiday and the storm
damage the Capitol and the park had
more visitors than known on Labor
Day in years. There were hundreds
of people in the building and the
guides worked without time for lunch.
All of the main departments and the
legislative halls were open for vis-
itors.

CITY SUFFERS
HEAVY DAMAGE
IN BIG STORM
Houses Unroofed and Great
Trees Blown Down in It's
Narrow Path

One of the worst wind, rain and
electrical storms in years swept over
the city and vicinity late yesterday
afternoon causing thousands of dol
lars of damage to property and
crops.
Telegraph and telephone lines were
torn down, the city's lighting system
put out of service for hours, trolley
service delayed on many lines, and
hundreds of autoists held up because
of the uprooted trees which were
hurled across the highways.
While less than an inch of rain
fell during the storm, the downponr
lasted only short time and was ter
rife, flooding all the main highways.
Storm water sewers were unable to
carry away the water fast enough
and in many places the streets look
ed like small rivers. In the outlying
districts the wind did less damage
to trees, but the water swept hun
dreds of yards of earth over the
paved streets and in many places

Quietly With Hundreds
of Picnics and Outings

While there was no formal COM
munity observance of Labor Day in
the city to-day. hundreds of infor-
NAL picnics, house parties and out

All the stores of the city were
closed, giving the employees a full

blast were those engaged on war or
ders for the government.
This is Labor Day in Harrisburg;
pit is also Kipona day, but as the
ordinary celebration of the day has
been limited to cessation of labor
In some quarters so also was the
great river festival omitted this year

One Seriously, Another
Slightly Hurt When
Car Rolls Over Bank

B. T. Moses, of 5S4 Forrest
street. was taken to the Polytechnic
Hospital, in a serious condition, as
the result of an automobile accident
last night. Moses was almost
scalped when his car turned over.
His brother, who was riding with
him in the car, practically escaped
injury.
The brothers were returning from
Carlisle at about five o'clock last
evening. In an effort to escape the
heavy storm which was sweeping
over the country, Moses was driving
the machine at high speed. Near
Camp Hill the car plunged over a
bank and turned completely over.
Moses was unconscious when
picked up. His brother secured as
sistance. He suffered from a severe
laceration of the scalp, and his back
was injured. DIR. Faul, of Camp Hill,
brought him to this place.
At the Polytechnic Hospital grave
doubts were entertained for Mr..
Moses recovery, but 1t is not thought
that his injuries will result fatally.

William Alonis. a Greek, wanted
to practice up a little on his shoot

Asylum for the insane.
The Greek went into the CRYSTAL

commenced to flourish a large re-
volver. When arrested Alonis stated
that he wanted to practice up for
warfare in Europe. 1t is believed
that the Greek meant to take his

The possible ultimate military
consequences of this development
are difficult to estimate. The right
flank of the entire Russian western
front was anchored on the Gulf of
Riga at a point west of the city and
with this anchorage apparently lost
the possible strategical develop
ments of the situation seem infinite.
Much depends on the purpose of
the Germans and the size of the
forces at their disposal for opera
tions in this war theater. 1t is
too early yet for it to be made ap-
parent whether they will be con-
tent at present with occupation of
the Baltic seaport the Russians
have left to them, or if the ad-
vantage is to be pushed and an at
tempt made to swing back the entire
Russian line on this front, creating
an opening for an operation of land
and water with Petrograd as the
objective.
Riga, capital of the government
of Livonia, had population of more
than 100000 persons before the war
and aside from Petrograd was the
most important Russian commercial
and industrial town having access
to the Baltic.
The Germans long have had their
eyes upon Riga and at the close of
the great campaign of 1915 when
Poland was overrun and large Sec
tions of Russian soil occupied by
the Teutonic forces an effort was
made by Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg to break the line of the
Dvina between Riga and Dvinsk, 11O
miles to the southeast.
Ever since the Russian revolution
with it's dfsorganizing effect upon
the Russian armies, made the mill
tary situation more favorable to the
Germans, there have been hints that
descent was to be made upon the
Russian northern front and several
alarms have been sounded in Petro-
grad that such an eventuality was
pending.

Turning her back on the peace she loves
Threatened by treacherous Huns;

When the black pail closes in,

Were seeking sect-free God,
