Stagnant Blood Given
A Quick Impulse
Wonderful Activity Im
parted by a Famous
Remedy.
j
Ths appearance of pimples, bolls, skin
eruptions and all evidence of impure blood,
rails for 8. S. 8., the famous blood purifier.
Cathartics, purges, bowel movers and lax
atives won't do.
i No amount of bile will destroy certain
: germs which cause blood and skin eruptions,
j They are away down deep In the tissues,
1 perhaps In the very marrow of the bones,
i And such a condition calls for the searching
! influence of 8. 8. 8. It is indeed a remark
able remedy, since It Is taken up by the blood
j stream and never loses Its medicinal lnflu-
J ence. On and on it goes, through and
through the entire system and always with
the same definite action to dislodge germs,
destroy their activity and stimulate the liver,
lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin to throw
them out completely.
It stimulates stagnant blood, provides a
I rational exhilaration to the nerve centers and
thereby the natural functions of the body aro
aroused to cast out Intruders, no matter how
strongly Intrenched they may be. It refutes
the ancient theory that to destroy within us
the germs that eat into our vitals calls for
drugs that destroy our very existence. Get
a bottle of S. 8. S. today of any druggist and

JITNEY STATUS 10
DECEIVE STUDY
Public Service Commission Will
Have to Decide What the Act
of 1913 Requires
The status of a man who starts to
run a jitney for public accommoda
tion will be raised before the Public
Service Commission this week through
the complaint made by the Tarentum
Auto Bus company against two indi
viduals in that borough who have been
running an automobile for hire. Un
der the public service company law
the companies and individuals en
gaged in any form of public service
enumerated such as carrying passen
gers must secure certificates of public
convenience from the commission.
If the commission holds that a man
who runs a jitney must get a certifi
cate it will mean that thousands of
persons will have to apply to the com
mission or go out of business. In some
of the cities there are hundreds oper
ating under municipal licenses and the
question whether these individuals,
few of whom have more than one ear.
are to be considered the same as an
automobile bus or jitney company or a
trolley line or a railroad raises one of
the most interesting questions possi
ble.
The Senate bill to give cities the
right to regulate jitneys Is on the
House calendar and there will be a hot
fight over It. Efforts to drop it from
the calendar were frustrated a few
days a,go. but will be renewed on the
ground that it gives too broad pow
ers to councils.

Water Supply Commission Makes
a Report on the Streams of
Pennsylvania Today
Resrvoir control for the streatns of
Pennsylvania is recommended by the
State Water Supply Commission in its
reports to the Governor on the inves
tigation of the water resources of
Pennsylvania. The commission was
authorized to make the Inventory In
1913 following a recommendation by
John K. Tener, then Governor, and
the report filed with Governor Brum
baugh represents the Initial -work, it
being stated that lack of funds pre
vents fillns of "a stock account of a
valuable resource" of the State.
The report is voluminouu represent
ing the study of the water resources of
46,126 square miles of surface em
braced in the State. Over 4,200
streams receive the water from this
territory, while there are 860 water
systems and 70 power stations without
including mills and factories. The
Susquehanna receives at the Maryland
line the drainage of 27,006 square
miles, the Ohio at the Slate line 23.-
247, of which 14,747 are within the
State and the Delaware at the Dela
ware line 11,358, of which 6,443 are
inside Pennsylvania. Three hundred
lakes, ponds, springs and fails are in
cluded and there is a wide difference
in rainfall. Culin is stated to have
affected 1,000 miles of the water
courses of the State and careful study
is recommended.
It is estimated that the State will
have a pojhilatlon of 20,000,000 be
tween 1950 and 1960 and congestion
of population will requlro control of
streams to prevent damage and for
utilization of streams for transpor
taion. The report says:
"So irregular is the regimen of our
streams that their fullest possible
utilization cannot be realized until
their flows have been regulated and
tothis end reservoir controls appears
beat adapted to Pennsylvania condi
tions. As reservoirs are built mostly
il'or obtaining water supplies and for
water power developments, they may
be expected to advance stream control
to a greater extent than other means.
Such works on tributaries will im
prove their regimen and that of the
rivers into which they flow, making
them of greater value for all uses and
assisting in lessening floods. Practical
flood control may be secured by modi
fying reservoirs built for revenue pro
ducing purposes, but such changes
additions to existing or proposed dams
ishoUld be made at the expense of
those to be benefited."
