,York to Feel Garfield Fuel
Order of Nation But
Lightly
York, Pa., Dec. 11. —Enforcement
of the restrictions on lighting and
heating issued by Fuel Administra
tor Garfield to conserve the dwind
ling coal supply will fall so lightly
on York that attention Is once more
called to the loss of the cities along
the Susquehanna through the non
use of the full power of that stream.
All the current used in lighting
and heating York, and running its
machines, is not that generated by
water power at York Haven, but so
generally is it used, that with near
ness to the anthracite field, to sup
plement it, this city expects to pass
through the present fuel crisis with
practically no hardship, and with
little or no interference with manu
facturing.
A big percentage of the factories
is operated under power, and the
main business houses, and the city
in large part are using current for
lighting generated at the falls at
York Haven.
The plant there also furnished
current for points in Lancaster and
Dauphin counties, including 1 Steel
ton and Harrisburg. but not to such
large extent as here, where lines are
being extended which will greatly
enlarge the territory where water
generated current will be used for
both light and power.
This is in line with the policy ad
vocated by Secretary of the Interior
Lane, and it will not be surprising
if, when the effects of the present
coal shortage have been fully felt,
that some of the big engineers of
the country, will give the Susque
hanna and its possibilities as a heat,
light and power source, closer ex
amination. Kxperts have pointed
out what might be done, by the river
for the cities of the State can be
guaged by what is being done al
ready by the plants at McCall's
Ferry and York Haven, for Balti
more, Lancaster, Harrisburg and
York.

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper
Thousands upon thousands ofi
women have kidney or bladder trou
ble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove
'o be nothing else but kidney trou
ble, or the result of kidney or blad
der disease.
If the kidneys are rrot in a healthy
•ondltion, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
rritable and may be despondent: it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim
that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by
restoring health to the kidneys,
proved to be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder medicine,
will do for them. By enclosing ten
cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y., you may receive sample
size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bot
tles at all drug stores.—Adv.

resented, buy it from

nothing was saved. Large quantities
of grain and flour burned with the

the flames and nearby properties
were saved only with the greatest
difficulty.
