FOR POWER DEVELOPMENT.
Ontario HydrO-E|eCtriC System
a Success, Says Investigator.
URGES STATE GIVE IT TRIAL
Assemblyman Patrie Differs
with Fellow Members of Fer
ris Water Committee.
IRy TELEGRAPH 70 Tho Tribune. ]

Albany. Jan. 3l.-Assemblyman Patrie.
OF Greene County. member of the Ferris
Water Storage Committee. submitted a
minority report to the Legislature to-day
I'm which he holds that the development of
electrical energy under the supervision Of
the HYDRO Electric Commission of the
Province of Ontario has been a success.
lie said such a plan should have fair
trial i'm this state.
The majority report of the committee,
submitted earlier in the session, criticised
the Canadian system, and recommended
plan for the conservation and utilization
of water power, which plan is said TO give
undue rights to the riparian owners ana
10 water power corporations. The Ferris
plan permits corporations to develop
power with state aid and sell 1t to whom
they please under certain regulations.
The plan advocated by the conservation
commission is to develop the power anu
sell il to municipalities, which, IN tuih'
are to sell it to the consumers. Thls Is All
adaptation Of the Ontario plan.
Canadian System Success.
Mr.. Patrie. in the minority report, says
that the Canadian system Is waterway
beneficial. is economical and tends 10
develop the fullest manufacturing ana
commercial industries of the province
He believes that the Hood waters OF the
state canals should be at once utiizeu
and converted into electric energy TO De
transmitted 10 the municipalities. lie salu
that the cost Of light. heat and power In
Ontario had been reduced by one-thiru'
and that the Ontario system was only put
into effect after bitter opposition on the
part OF the water power corporations ana
a long campaign of education to satisfy
tho pcopIe that il was an economic propo-
stion.
Mr.. Patrie declares that instead OF IN
turing the private companies the ontario
plan had had the effect of increasing tho
value of their stock about 100 per cent.
because Of the cheaper electric power the
amount used has increased several nun
bred nor cent i'm nearly every municipality

ranics have lowered their prices 10 ap-
proNimatcly those Of the Hydro Electro
Commission. II is the increased quantity
Of power used as result that has enaoleh
the private companies TO increase their
profits.

Heat is Quick to
Affect the Bowels
Well Known Fact That Extreme Heat
Conduces to Chronic Consti-
patton.

SO many people are in the habit o.
eating cold food in hot weather that
constipation is very common during
summer. 1t is best to vary the food
and have some hot things, as, for eX,
ample, soups and hot fish and meats,
If that is to be the diet. Iced water
should be drunk sparingly
In spite OF all care people will b..
come constipated, and if YOU fiud
yourself in that condition you can get
immediate relief by the use of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. There is no
time of the year when you should be
more careful of constipation than in
the summer, for many of the serious
Illnesses as well as the fatalities re-
suit from ac logging up of the bowels.
You also need general good health 20
Withstand the heat, and hence Syrup
Pepsin is best to take because it con-
tains tonic ingredients that help to
build up the entire system.
