Thoughts of having to put up with that kind of cooking till death steps in should make the returning soldiers very cautious in selecting wives. The law doesn't promise a mustering out process for a man who has no other reason for com- plaint than that his wife's meals don’t suit him. e———— Millinery. Have you been to Mrs. C. B.

The water supply in the town from the new water plant of the boro has shown no improvement the last week over the week before, and the plant is running on half time for over two weeks now, The number of consumers has not increased neither has the apparent sup- ply, for the town was out of water as many hours the last week as before, At no time for over two weeks have the people had water after six o'clock in the evening, and the gates are clos- ed down so that the supply can be saved for the next day. From BSatur- day evening until Mouday morning again, no water was turned into the mains. The people profited by their experience of the week previous and filled every receptacle at hand. The council laid nearly three hun- dred feet of 4 and two inch pipe from a spring into the reservoir. The flow of the spring is so small that it would not supply an ordinary leak in a ser- vice pipe. The spring was dug out in hopes of finding more water, but all flowed over the surface. The council has men at work digging trenches, getting in shape for turning into the upper reservoir the water which flows into the lower one down the mountain, The large reservoir will soon be com- ' Nurses Wanted. pleted, The Associate of the Red Cross of Philadelphia is maintaining its hospital at Camp Meade. Patients too ill to be moved to city hospitals are taken there. Its capacity to receive all these cases is inadequate because of the Society's inability to secure experienc- ed women nurses for the nomial sum of sixteen dollars per month. Nurses willing to make the sacrifice and to en- gage in this laudable work will kindly apply by letter or report to “The Com- mittee on Nurses,”' 1501 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Funds are need- ed to meet the increasing demands up- on the Society. Zz. of the taxpayers in the town refused to pay the boro tax of 4 mills assessed against them, claiming that it was illegal. There was little or work done on the streets the last year, and the money from the liquor license almost paid for the expenses of light ing. The greater portion of the tax levied was spent on the water job, and the kickers insist that it should be properly as a water lax. Some who paid did it under protest. The courts may be asked to determine the legality of the same. —_— If you EE Society py Refased to Pay, no assessed Ac The Latest Fad wish to be up-to-date you dog with your back or shoulder.
