Superintendent Raskin plans + o run the water through the raw filters and treat it before it is pumped into the reservoir. This method of filtration is practically the same as if the water was run through the slow sand filters. Offi cials hope to have this method in operation late this afternoon and by morning have enough water in the reservoir to supply the town and discontinue to pump from Harris burp's main. Considerable water was pumped into "the borough mains last night but early this morning women in the town where water was available insisted on washing and consequently the pipe lines were drained.

Council Last Night Added Three and One-Half Mills to the Rate For 1918 Council in monthly session last night raised the borough millage from nine and one-half to thirteen mills. With a budget of $130,000, which is likely to increase, and only prospects of receipts amounting to $96,000, Council was compelled to make the Increase in the tax rate. This is the first increase in ten years and Councilmen are of tho opinion that with the adjustment in the val uation at the triennial assessment next year the millage will drop con siderably. The money supplied by the in creased tax will bring the total re ceipts from all sources up to only $117,000 ,the remaining $13,000 be ing in sight at the present time. Of this amount $9,000 is accounted for in the receipt of water rents which were not collected during the year 1917. A slight increase in the water rates to manufacturers will also mean SI,OOO.

The case presented some unusual features. The Commission orders that the company buy the meters in stalled and pay for others to bo in stalled. The testimony shows that about eight months of the year the company serves 250 people and the rest of the year, because of board ing houses, it has to care for 2,500 people.

They be come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan nels often get sore and irritated, ob liging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these iurritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with llthla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad der weakness.
