Rates For Political Announcements

There has never yet appeared upon
this earth any person who could please
everybody. Our Saviour could not do
it. in the olden time, and we doubt eX-
ceedingly If he could do so now in this
DAY and time. Lancaster is exactly
like the rest of the world, no one could
please everybody in Lancaster, it would
be useless to try.
From the very establishment of a
water system in Lancaster, every per-
son connected with it has come in for
condemnation from one source or an
other. Perhaps mistakes have been
made, no doubt there have, but to err
is human, and We do not doubt but that
every person who has been connected
with our water works system has done
what they thought was best for the
town. and tried to give the taxpayers
the most their money would buy. This
is entirely too small a town for graft
ers. nor do We believe such has ever
betn attempted. the mistakes if made,
were simply the result of misguided
judgment.
The thing to DO now is to take the
proper care of what We have. There
is no reason why our lake should give
out this season, We do not care what
other people say to the contrary, pro-
vided the water is used conservatively,
but we reiterate our former statement,
that the Pacific ocean could not stand
the continuous strain that the unre-
strained sprinklIng public of Lancaster
put upon their water works lake. Dur
ing the heated season, from its very
beginning, sprinkling is INDUCED in,
morning, noon and night, hydrants and
sprays are allowed to run all night,
gardens are irrigated from the family
hydrant, and every conceivable method
is used to the exhaustion of the lake,
and then the cry goes up that the wat
or works system is no good.
We contend that if the water was
used as if you We're paying so much per
gallon for 1t. that there would be no
necessity Of fear that we could not fur
nish the ice plant, as well as our other
industries, with all the water they need
during the entire season, and We be-
lieve that a fair trial would prove this
contention to be correct

SALYCILIC ACID
USED IN PRESERVING
Is DANGEROUS
According To Government Experts.

The L. S. Government has issued the
following bulletin giving warning
against the use of Salycilic acid in the
preserving of fruits and vegetables.
The bulletins upon the subject are free
for the asking. and anyone interested
should write for them.
The attention Of The Department of
Agriculture has recently been called tc
the widespread use, especially in rural
communities, of saiicylic acid in putting
up preserves. The head of a large
drug and chemical supply house states
that people living in Southwest Virgin
ia. North and South Carolina, kentuc-
ky, Tennessee. and western Georgia,
have been purchasing salicylic acld in
I ID packages for a number of years
and that this practice has grown to an
enormous extent. This dealer states
further that only few weeks ago he
received an order from one wholesale
grocer for fifty gross of these goods.
The Department is aware that this
practice is not confined to salicylic acid
under its own name alone, but that
large quantities of this acid, and of
boric acid as well, are sold under fan
ciful names as preserving powders or
canning compounds at prices which are
much in excess of their real value.
In the directions for use, the house
wife is told to fill the jar with the fruit
or vegetables, cover with water and
add teaspoonful of the powder. 1t is
true that these powders may prevent
the decay of the fruit or vegetable. but
they also encourage uncleanly or care
less work, and their excessive use may
be attended with very serious effects
upon the health. Salicylic acid is a
medicine of the greatest value in acute
articular rheumatism and certain other
diseases. 1t is well known as poison
Gus substance, and one of the evils
which may accompany its use is de-
rangement of the digestion. 1t is
therefore plain that its extensive use
in food NAV lead to disturbance of
digestion and health.
1t is entirely practicable to put up
both fruits and vegetables in such a
manner that they will keep indefinitely
by sterilizing the products by means of
heat, and there is no excise for running
any risk by the useing Of preserving
powders. The Department of Agricul-
ture has issued the following Farmers
Bulletins on canning and preserving;-
F. b. 203 Canned Fruit, Preserves
and Jellies.
F. B. 359 Canning Vegetables in the
Home.
F. B. 81 Canning Tomatoes at Home
and in Club Work.
These bulletins, which may be OBJ
tanned without cost by applying to the
Division Of Publications of the Depart
ment, give exact directions for canning
and preserving foods without the use
of preserving powders or canning COM

A YEARS GROWTH
OF THF CHAUTAUQUA MOVEMENT Is
MARVELLOUS
Seven Hundred More Tent ChaalauqUas
Than Last Year-fwenty-two Hun
bred In All.

The past YEAR sgrowth of the Chau-
tauqua movement in the United States
has been little less than marvellous.
The number of tent Chautauqua in this
country has increased from l.500 last
year to more than 1920 this summer.
One thousand of these Chautauqua are
under Redpath management. There
are about 3O0more Redpath Chautauquas
this wear than last.
Never before in year has such wide
publicity been given the name Chau-
tauqua in the press of the country.
This in part, of course, was due to the
wide discussion of Mr.. Bryan's ap-
pearances on the Chautauqua platform
last summer.
The army of people now employed in
all the different features of Chautauqua
work over the wide expanse of the
American continent also serves to en-
phasize the movements Importance.

EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS
HAVE BEEN APPROACHED

Washington. April 30.-It was as
serted here today on unquestiona bic
authority that the South American
ENJOYS who are seeking to avert a
crisis in Mexico have appealed to Eu-
ropean governments for friendly Of
fices to facilitate mediation between
Mexico and the United States. The
appeal. it is stated did not include a
request as reported from abroad that
the powers use their influence Od
President Wilson to name conditions
that would insure success of the nego-
tiations.
The request of the powers, it is de-
clared already has borne fruit, as sew
eral diplomatic representatives of Eu-
ropean nations have consulted with
Secretary of State Eryan with rela
tion to the negotiations. Denials OF
previous reports from abroad with
regard to this matter, 1t was pointed
out, were based on tht report that the
powers had been asked to insist upon
a modification of the attitude OF the
United States. Officials here who are
in touch with the negotiations, fns1ge
that such action was not even con-
sidered and that the friendly offices
of some Of the European governments
had been extended before the media
tion enVoys made the general request.
NO DESIRE TO INTERFERE.
1t is believed here that any step
taken by the European governments
sizing through their representatives
here the hope that mediation would be
successful and their desire to faciH-
tate this purpose. There was no de-
sire, 1t Is said, on the part Of these
