Gannett Tells of State's Relation to Water Works Among the interesting papers read at the twentieth annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Water Works Asso ciation at Atlantic City several weeks ago was one by Farley Gannett, the well-known consulting engineer of this city. The subject of Mr. Gan nett's paper was "The Manner and Extent to Which Water Companies are Subject to State Departments and Commissions." In this paper Mr. Gannett thoroughly discussed the whole matter and inasmuch as it is now published in pamphlet form it is going to be a valuable reference work on many a table. The paper gives special attention to the sources of water supply on State lands and dwells upon the jurisdiction which the Commonwealth holds over these pro perties. Another pamphlet which has just been issued Is the fifth annual report of the State Bureau of Standards. James Sweeney is chief of this bu reau and the report embraces the several acts of assembly relating to the bureau and the regulations pro mulgated under these laws. This bu reau has done a great work in rid ding the Commonwealth of thousands of fraudulent weights and measures and the inspections which are con stantly going forward will still fur ther benefit the buyer and seller. Much of the work of the inspectors in the last two years has been the checking and testing of package goods found on the shelves of merchants for the purpose of enforcing that provi sion of the law requiring the mark ing of the net quantity of the con tents on packages. More than 200 prosecutions were brought during the last year and conviction was secured in every case.

Apples Better Than Medicine Apples are much better than medicine. An apple is the best little "doctor" you can get and the bills will be smaller. The old maxium still holds "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." As a race we have never had enough fruit. Any doctor will tell you that there are a hundred diseases that would disappear if we would adopt a fruit diet, say for one meal a day. Speaking about apples it will be well to remem ber that there is as much difference in apples as there is in horses. Staymen Winesap Apples are so different from ordinary apples. They are very large in size and very pleasant to the taste. Every apple a perfect specimen no "bad" places to cut out. They are clean all the way through. Staymen Winesap Apples are for sale at all first class Grocers. Do not accept others. United Ice & Coal Co. Distributors ciation Is to be a stock corporation. Those who put up the cash will do so with the understanding that they are in the business to win or lose. Ac cording to present conditions there Is no chance to lose. Last night's basketball game at Tach High school was marked with rough house work. One local player was given a knockout Ulow by an opposing player. The aggressor was removed from the game, lie should be given a further punishment. Players of that caliber have no right in a scholaslic contest. Harrlsburg and West Fairview shooters, by their good work at Pine hurst. N. gave llarrisburg a wide advertisement. There were 200 crack shots from all over the United States.
