fSX \\ w-y t^ie streams of the
gyW\A State in order to

prevent loss of

i O'Sl an< * obstructions to
s Pf the natural flow of
gggaai .y— "J streams are recom
kniSgrillSi—imm mended by the
State Water Supply Commission in its
annual report, advance sheets of which
were made public to-day.
This and the announcement that
during 1915 only nine applications for
the incorporation of companies to
supply water to the public tor domes
tic purposes and three applications for
the incorporation of water companies
were approved by the commission, as
compared with a maximum of 150 and
a minimum il 100 in other years, are
the outstanding features of the re
port. No reason for the big decrease
is given. Fifty-one applications for
the erection of new dams were, re
ceived and 43 approved. Of the new
structures 3 exceed 40 feet, the larg
est being 6S feet in height.
In order to prevent such catas
trophies as those of Johnstown and
Austin, the commission has adopted a
comprehensive policy for the super
vision of dams but has been unable
to carry it out adequately due to lack
of appropriation. The report goes
fully into the methods of the com
mission in this respect. "Inadequate
appropriation for this important
work" says the commission, is false
economy, for the reason that a single
dam failure may cause a greater loss
than the total cost for adequate
supervision for a generation. The im
portance of careful supervision in this
line is brought out in the report which
set 3 forth that 485 applications for en
croachments on streams were ap
proved in 1915, of which 402 were for
bridges, 21 for fills and 62 for all other
purposes.
With regard to the Erie flood, the
worst of the year, in which 34 lives
were lost and property damaged to
the extent of at least $2,000,000, the
report says: "It is believed this flood
would have passed off without un
usual damage if it had not been for
the restricted and obstructed condi
tion of the channel through the city.
The commission had previously called
the attention of the city officials to
the obstructed condition of the stream
and recommended that a compre
hensive plan for its improvement be
prepared and submitted to the com
mission, but nothing was done until
after the catastrophe had occurred."
With respect to the necessity of the
proposed survey, the commission savs
that the State is now paying the pen
alty of lack of supervision of streams
in early years and that nearly all flood
damage attributable to encroachments
had its inception heiore the passage
of the present law, ' and large ex
penditures and long periods of time
will undoubtedly be required to over
come their harmful effects." Parti
cularly in densely inhabited districts
does tne commission urge the appro
priation of money for the purpose of
establishing shore lines which never
may be encroached upon.
Employment Omccs Moved. The
Harrisburg offices of the Bureau of
Employment ,of the Department of
Labor and Industry has been moved

Kharas. Leroy F. Moore, of Harris
burg, and H. E. Jones of Steelton, are
the incorporators and equal share
holders.
Two Opinions Rendered. Decid
ing that the school board of Pottsville
is within its legal rights in entering
into an agreement with the Pottsville
Free Library Association for an an
nual appropriation toward the main
tenance of a library in that city, Wil
liam H. Keller, deputy attorney gen
eral says: "The appropriation of
moneys by a school district for the
support of such a library, particularly
where it is built and owned by the
school district and is in the control of
the school district through a majority
of the trustees, cannot be held to be a
diversion of public funds simply be
cause a minority of the board of
trustees represents a corporation not
for profit, which generously contri
butes moneys for the aid and main
tenances of the library carried on in
the building owned by the school dis
trict." In another opinion Dr. Keller
holds that in case of a second failure
to pass any final examination an ap
plicant for permission to practice
medicine may make another applica
tion only after taking a year of post
graduate study approved by the State
Bureau of Medical Licensure, but that
such requirement does not refer to the
preliminary educational requirements
for entry upon the study of medicine
and does apply only to the conditions
obtaining at the time with reference
to medical education, instruction and
examination. The question was raised
by the bureau.

RESISTANCE TO DISEASE
Debility is a loss of vitality, no?
affecting any one part of the body par
ticularly but the system generally. It
is dangerous because it reduces the
body's resistance to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An at
tack of the grip often results in debility
that persists for months. Everybody
recognizes that the remedy for debility
is to build up the blood because the
blood goes to every part of the body and
an improvement m its condition is
quickly felt throughout the system.
The problem in every case is to find
something that will enrich the blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills suit most
people's need because they are non-al
coholic and they really build op the
hlood and strengthen the nerves. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are useful for grow
