TUESDAY EVENING,
INDUSTRIES ASK
CHEAPER WATER
RATE OF CITY
Pi, >c Mill and Central Iron
Say No Reduction Is Made
For Quantity Users
! Complaints against charging big
industrial plants such as the Central
Iron and Steel Company and Har
risburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Com
pany the same rates for water as
householders, were made to mem
bres of City Council to-day by F. J.
Hall, representing the former, and
;W. P. Starkey, the latter corpora
i tion.
The officials of the two plants told
i the commissioners that they prc-
I ferred a rate for water similar to the
I one formerly in use in the city which
I provided for a lower charge when
! large quantities were used dully.
Mr. Hall declared that tlie Central
Company last year used 50,000.000
gallons of water a month on eifcht
meters, about one-sixth of the total
consumption in the city. The Pipe
bending plant used 40,000,000 gal
lons, Mr. Starkey said.
Cost Is Lower
"There is a much lower cost of
production for the big consumer,"
Mr. Hall explained. "Even from a
clerical standpoint one can see that
with only eight meters and one bill
paid monthly liow much work is
saved. Last year the company paid
about J2J.000 in water rents or prac
tically double the amount of the
previous year. We don't want the
water at less than cost but I am cer
tain that the percentage of increase
in rates for the manufacturing plants
is much greater than for the do
mestic consumer under the present
system.
"We have no objection to make to
the 'ready to serve' charge and are
positive that it is a right thing fer
tile city to do. In fact our engineers
heartily approved of it and said that
it seemed to them to be low. It is a
good principle to make such a
charge, however, and is very fair."
Want Quantity l'ure
Both Mr. Starkey and Air. Hall
told the commissioners that in all
other business the trig buyer taking
large quantities gets a lower price
than the small purchaser.
Mayor D. L. Keister and Commis
sioner E. Gross called attention
to the warning given by J. W. Led
oux, the Philadelphia engineer, who
prepared the present rate schedule,
in which he said that many water
plants were compelled to go out of
business because of rates which were
too low for manufacturing plants.
Mention was made of the differ
ent rates given to large consumers
by electric companies and of the
plans of the Public Service Commis
sion which may divide consumers
into different classes so that equit
able rates can bo fixed. The ques
tion of cots of operating the city
water plant, depreciation and inter
est charges was discussed also.
The City Commissioners took no
action on the complaints which
were made at an informal session.
Bailey Calls Wilson
Socialist; Party Must
Repudiate Him or Tenets
WiislilnKtoii, April 1. Declaring
Piefcidcnt Wilson "a Socialist," who
has •'proscribed the real Democrats
of this country," ex-Senator Joseph
\V. Bailey, of Texas, has written to
Leon O. Bailey, of New York, a letter
in which the assertion is made that
"within the next two years the Demo
cratic party must either repudiate
President Wilson or it must embrace
practically all of the Socialist doc
trines."
Mr. Bailey asserts that President
Wilson has driven the Democratic
party Into a reluctant support or'
many socialistic measures, and "that
before his term expires he will have
committed us. unless his power in
that re gard is challenged, irrevocably
i to Socialism under the name 'progren-
MVC Democracy.' "
Gain Flesh By
Drinking Water
With Systoxem
! How Simple Method Supplies
j Body With Flesh and Strength
Making Substances Lost or
Found Lacking In Many
Cooked Foods of Today
A very easy and pleasant method
for gaining flesh and rounding out
the body is now being followed by
thousands, according to a well-known
Doctor of Pharmacy and others. Sim
ply drink plenty of water and take
a little Systoxem after meals. Sys
toxem is now obtainable in 5-grain
tablets at Geo. A. Gorges' drug stores,
Kennedy's and other good druggists
in this city, without a doctor's pre
scription, it not being a secret rem
edy. The ordinary city drinking
water in all homes is considered pure
und good. This simple method aids
nature in adding healthy tissue and
weight to the human body in three
weeks' time in many instances, and
also induces a feeling of renewed
strength and endurance. Thousands
of thin folks will naturally be bene
fited.
Authorities assert that the increas
ing demand for Systoxem is due to
♦lie fact that it contains strength and
tissue building substances now
snown to be lost or found lacking in
tiie cooked foods of today. Adv.

Is offered by the regiment
As a tribute to
Colonel J. B. Kemper,
Commanding officer
Of the 74d Infantry, U. S. A.,
The finest outfit in the National
Army,
That's what we think.
He took us when we were
Raw recruits,
And he drilled us,
And he grilled us.
And he told us what he wanted,
And he made us do it,
And we're glad we did
Because he made us real soldiers
And better men,
And we want him to know that
We like him—
We're proud of hint—
And we'll eat the head off anybody
Who won't say with us that
He's some boy.
Wo thank you.
