It js a shameful recital. In ISS.'L vvhen'lt was first arranged To put meters in industrial plants, tie project wan bitterly opposed. Only six-ty-tluee were placed that year. From that on for thirty-seven jrars the proj. cct has been fought in nnd out of Coun. ells. If adopted it would have halted the present enormous waste of water. Instead of approximately 75,000 me ters in use out of a total of 1175,000 connections today, the entire cltv would have been saving water nnd free from the danger of famine. Hut Councils would havo none of It Owners of property would be compelled to Install meters nt their own cost nnd that killed the scheme. Two gains, however, are repotted.

It. seventy .veiirs. while the average increase in population has been 37 per I IT cent, thVlncrcnsc In (he use Of water bas been 04 per cent. I have sold that petty politics held up our water supply. I cite one example: In March. 1885, Colonel Ld',"W. then chief engineer of the Water De partment'. Rddrefsed the County Medical Society on "Our Water Supply n Kj latlon to Sanitation," In which lie pointed out the dangers of the then existing system. The fol owing day Councils pnssed the following resolu tion: , , "That the chief engineer ue requested to refrain at present from the public ngltntlon of this subject, which is being carefully considered by, Councils, and will not be facilitated by the nbovc course." It took Councils just fifteen years to consider the question nnd arrive at a conclusion as to what should be. done.

Chestnut at 11th Boulevard Office, Cor. lUHno Sun Ave. Oak ane Otce, Oppoilto Station mvi:ktish:vh:nt WIVF.llTIXITMKVT I According to W. D. H. Dodson, executive secretary ol the Port land, Oregon, Chamber of Commerce, advertising ha3 played a promi nent part in bringing the city of Philadelphia to tho attention of many who knew little about it some time ago. We are glad to be able to back up our advertising with products that, in every respect, live up to the claims made for them, such products as are sold in the Chestnut Street Shops. rHERE is food for thought in the latest announcement from the store of Yahn & McDonnell, 1B08 Chestnut Street. Perhaps you have already heard of the "Daily Candy Special," but. if not, you will welcome the good news that they have decided to sell each day at a special price some one of their de licious candies. On Monday last it was chocolate-covered fudge and one day last week it was peanut brittle. You will see it in the window, and let me entreat you not to miss the "hard candy day," for Yahn & Mo Donncll's hard candies have already won a name for themselves. I sup pose I've told you before that they are all made at 1508 Chestnut Street, but it will do no harm to remind you train that roflnrrfacttiring conditions are most sanitary WHY is it that o many expert drivers prefer dnving an electnc car in town" I sup pose it is because they are so smooth running. A great many women pre fer the electnc because it is such a clean car. Those who k iovr pay that the future of tbe electnc car is very bright, for its mechanum is simple and efficient, and running cost has been reduced to the minimum. I ven ture to any that if those who do not keen? a car because they are timid about running it, yet do not wish to keep a chauffeur, would arrango for a demonstration of the Milbnrn or Ranch & Lang electric at the show room of Georgo Hugh Smith, Inc , 1835 Chestnut Street, they would be convinced of the pleasure to be de rived from the ownership of sucii a car. BEFORE the dread plague of spring fever overtakes us, let us turn our thoughts to house cleaning. And now that I have given you the text of my sermon, let me advise as the fir3t step in the ac complishment of this praiseworthy work a trip to the store of J. Frank lin Miller, 1612 Chestnut Street, where you will find all things need i ful m tho enmpaign against dust nnd germs. Brushes of every kind, ' brooms and floor mops, pails, floor t cloths, chamois and dust cloths, laun I dry eoap; everything, in short, th3t is necessary if you would preserve In your abode that "cleanliness which i is next to godliness." This is a I good season, too, to replace kitchen i i utensils which have worn out with new ones, and you will find the very best of these at Miller's.
