stretch of the imagination to believe that it origina-

could keep comfortable after sun-down. But now-a-

sible exception of the eyes, civil-
ized people maltreat the feet |
more than any other portion of
the body.
Most foot troubles are due to]
improperly fitted shoes. Nature
made the heel of the foot parrow-|
{er than the front and in walking
lit should naturally sink more deep-
{ly into the soft earth. This
the true natural position of man

fully curved spine and an upright
carriage. The head was carried |
high and the rest naturally stood
outward and all of the viscera,
vital organs, were carried high
up in the body where they belong.
Most people past middle life, suff
er with visceraptosis or falling
down of the stomach and bowels. |
It’s no wonder they have stomach
trouble because there can be no |
normal function where the organs
are allowed to drop
their natural position.
Now if you were to make a,
wooden man without shoes, six ft. |
tall and make him to stand erect
and then place anything under his |
heels, only one fourth inch thick]
you would find the top of his head |
just an inch and
away below
a half forward |
or out of the natural position.
The same thing will occur in
your own body when you put on
shoes with heels that throw you
out of a natural position. The dif-
ference between you and the wood
en man is that you have a flexible
spinal column and it at once curv-
es itself to this unnatural position.
The head drops forward, the
shoulders back and the abdomen
forward. A very ungraceful atti-
tude which ultimately becomes ha-
bitual and then trouble begins all
along the alimentory canal. About
the only way that this can be sue-
cessfully corrected is to walk at
least 100 steps daily on all fours.
This can be done in one's room,
of course, but there should be

{ ervoir holds
to live, Mount Joy is busy provid-
ing to those who already do live
in this fine town that. its progress-
iveness is of the real and not ad-
vertized brand.
Especially in this ultr-dry age,
the thing which every town con-
siders of primary importance is its
distribution. Our citizens
considered this problem away back
in 1872. A first class supply of
water had to be guaranteed from
an unfailing source, to supply the
various industries as well as
private citizens of this town. A
{vote was taken favoring the estab- |
lishment of a water works for the
town at that time.
William Kuhn, one of the most
progressive citizens of the town at
that time formulated the plans
for the construction of the water
works. Samuel Kurtz and John M.
Brandt were co-workers with Mr.
Kuhn and they solved the water
problem by buying the former
Hiestand mill.
This mill was rearranged into a
pumping station. A large reservoir
was built on Cemetery ridge, lo-
cated one half mile north of the
boro limits. Both these projects
were finished in 1874, the cost of
both being over $40,000.
Provides Good Supply
By pumping: the water which
flows through the Little Chiques
creek, north of the boro limits in-
to the local reservoir, and then let- |
ting the water run into the town
through pipes which extend from
the reservoir into the: boro, a good
supply of water is being received
by local people.
The reservoir is 124 feet above
the floor of the pumping station
and the water is pumped into the
reservoir by gas, steam and water
power. The last two months water
power alone has been used, a tri-
plex pump being connected to the
water turbine.
The reservoir holds 500,000 gal-
lons. The elevation of the reser-
foir gives sufficient pressure to
throw water over the highest build-
ing in the town, should a fire oc-
cur. The volume of water the res-
is more than enough
to supply every factory and every
home with enough water for their
use.
A sub-reservoir is also used. This
reservoir is located near the pump-
ing station and is not elevated.
Here a capacity of 120,000 gal-
lons of water is stored.
boro pumping station was
by fire.
Although none of the engines or
water turbines suffered damage by
fire, a new building had to be
erected. A fire proof building was
built this time, stone and brick be-
ing used. The floor was concre‘ed
and the new building was
in November 1916.
Since that time the local citizens
have received excellent service
from their water department. Nev-
er has there been a water short-
age, and the only time that the
water was turned off was during
the cleaning of the reservoir, which
occurs once every year.
Dam Raised
In 1922 the boro dam which
crosses the Chiques creek north of
the boro limits was raised, thus
causing a much larger volume of
water to flow through the race.
Seeing the necessity of purifying
the drinking water for the public,
our boro fathers installed a chlor-
nating system in 1924. One pound
of chlorine is injected into every
120,000 gallons of water, thus kill-
ing any disease germs which might
be in the water supply.
Although the citizens of the town
say that their water tastes, yet lit-
tle sickness has been reported in
the town. Chemists claim that the
small amount of chlorine which the
local people consume in their drink
ing water is absolutely harmless.

Credit for Engineer
The efficient engineer, George W.
Schatz, should be given ymuch cred-
it for his able handling of the lo-
cal water problem. ‘Ever since
1907 he has personally conducted
the pumping of the boro’s drinking
water into the reservoir. Daily he
walks up Cemetery hill to inspect
the reservoir.
He is looking out for the boro’s
benefit as is shown by his last re-
port. During the last two months,
every drop of water has been
pumped into the reservoir by wa-
ter power. This has saved for the
local citizens a considerable amount
of money.
Although a maximum capacity of
50,000 gallons per hour is accorded
the local pumping station. in real-

TEN MILLION FOREST TREE

Harrisburg, Pa., Secretary Stua

there will be shipped 3,700,00

i second with 3,500,000 trees, an
the Greenwood nursery in Hun

200,000 trees. In spite of the lat
spring, more than 400,000 tre
have been shipped already.
| +The demand for forest tree
has been so great for this sprin
that the entire nursery supply, ex
a few short-leaf pine,
allotted months ago. Several hur

State Department of Forests
an
| Waters by J. C. Brubaker, of Lit-
| itz, Lancaster county. Several
years ago the buildings on his
farm near Lititz were destroyed
by fire. When confronted with
the problem of rebuilding the
barn, his attention was called to
the material in his farm woodlot.
After a number of conferences, he
was convinced that this material
would be very helpful in rebuilding
his barn. A sawmill was brought
to the woodlot, and with the ex
ception of some siding and flooring
material, enough lumber was cut
from the small tract to furnish all
the dimension stuff for the large
barn and several other buildings.
Mr. Brubaker estimates that his
little woodlot contributed approxi-
mately $1,800 worth of lumber.
This spring Mr. Brubaker start-
ed the replanting of his cut-over
woodlot. Recently a demonstra-
tion forest tree planting was con-
duted on his farm with Foresters
from the Department of Forests
and Waters and State College in
attendance. Mr. Brubaker said:
“I may never see the lumber from
these small planted trees, but I
want to see to it that a future
wood supply is insured for anyone
who may live on this farm.”
Early Forest Fires
The first forest fires of spring
are occurring locally throughout
the State. Chief Forest Fire War-
George H. Wirt announced to
1y that the entire state is organ-
ed for the effective handling of
all forest fires. Only 25 forest
fires were reported duing the
fivst three months of this year.
The latter part of April and the
first two weeks of May are usually
the most. serious periods of the
pring fire season. No serious fire
situation is anticipated before the
15th of April, except in the south-
ern part of the State and on the
southern slopes in the North Tier
country. More than 3,600 forest
fire wardens are now engaged in
protecting the forests of the State.
