14 WATER COMPANY CANNOT COLLECT pave No Legal Right to Re quire Ruyer of Property to Pay Rill of Former Owner A water company has no right to require the buyer of a property against which there was an unpaid ■water bill to pay it according to a decision of the Public Service Com mission handed down by Commis sioner James Alcorn in the case of the Rochester Building and Loan Association vs. the Beaver Valley Water Company. "No good reason has been ad vanced why a water company should have a privilege not claimed by other public service companies or should have a more summary method of collecting Its debts than other corporations," says the opin ion. "If we decide that such a rule as applied by this respondent is rea sonable we give to the respondent a: permanent lien. It can allow the' water rent to run in arrears as long sis it pleases and exact payment from a party who may buy the property although he did not incur the debt. It would make it a lien superior to a tax claim or a mortgage. • • • There is no similarity between a tax claim and water rent. No good rea son exists why a preference should be given to water rents over any other debts. It is in the'power of the water company to protect itself by requiring security or a deposit." The commission in an opinion by Commissioner. M. J. Ryan ordered dismissed a complaint by residents ol' near Soottdale against the Cit-1 zens Water Company of that place, charging that it refused to give ser- j vice on the ground that the com-1 plainants lived outside of the char ter limits of the company. The Com- : missioner says he regrets that the commission is without power to com-: pel it to furnish water and urged j that it take steps to give it the letter | of the law necessary to do so.

In every city, town and coun try district the pupils will be handed pledge cards to be signed by the housewife. They will be asked to take the cards home and talk the matter over. After mothers have signed they will return the cards to the teacher who will send them to headquarters. Teachers will explain the object of this Nation-wide movement to mar shal all of the women of the United States into a great patriotic body intent upon saving the food of the land. Pennsylvania led all the rest of the states last July when the first Food Pledge Campaign was conducted and it is hoped that the second effort will come close to a 100 per cent reg istration. If this is accomplished it will be due to the efforts of the school children. Wheat flour, meats, fats and sugar must be saved in every house hold. If each family in the state will use substitutes wherever possi ble so that flour and meats will not be depleted and if strict economy is used in sugar and fats there will be no doubt as to the future. The United States Food Adminis tration has pointed out that hoard ing of food by big dealers can be prevented by Federal authority but there Is no way to reach the home save through the training of the school children and through public sentiment.

Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months.
