Cost of Public Service Should Be
BASED on Standard Business


There is no disputing the fact that
the road question on these islands is
one of vital Importance, and we must
take stock of our resources. Under
the present distribution of revenue
there is not sufficient funds availa Bile
to meet our present road require
ments, and the outlook for the future
is indeed gloomy Unless We can
keep the cost of our public service
within the bounds of standard bust
ness economy, we shall be compelled
to have resource to one or 10th of

city with series of bond issues. or

KEEP WHAT YOU GAIN

Most people who have but small
reserve of strength feel better in sum-
mer than in winter. The vitality
gained during the out-of-door season
carries them through the trying
weather of winter and early spring

stored-up reserve strength is not suf-
fcient.
How, then, shall we keep and add to
the reserve of strength that means so
much? BY taking DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. the blood and nerve tonic, to
strengthen and sustain the system so
that it can keep all the strength that
1t has gained and gain more. DR.. Will

and enable it to carry nourishment to

WAR AND WOMEN
CAUSE Of ARRESTS
Largest Number of Weekend
Arrests at Steelton in
Months

Arguments over the European war
and women were back of a wave of
crime that kept the Steelton police
authorities on the jump since Satur-
day evening and resulted in the larg-
est number of weekend arrests in
months.
The most serious affair was at 916
South Second street. where an argu-
ment supposed by the police to have
started over a woman ended in a
melee in which adam Petrovic and
Nell Petrovic. two brothers, were
stabbed by Stanko Lelak. Adam re-
ceived a knife thrust over the heart
and escaped death only when the
knife struck bone aud was detected
from it's course. His brother Mile,
however. suffered a deep wound in
the abdomen. He was taken to the
Harrisburg Hospital. where he is in a
serious condition. Le!ak was arrested
by Constable Gibb and will be given a
hearing before Squire Gardner on two
charges of felonious assault with in
tent to kill. In default of $1,000 bail
he was sent to jail.
War Argument
Early last evening Detective Durn-
baugh was called upon to quell dis
turbance at a Main street boarding
house where a war argument started
a fight that threatened to wreck the
house. He placed Steve Kuric, Joso
Isec and limbo Strk under arrest.
They will be given a hearing before
Squire Gardner tonight.
Another war argument Saturday
evening ended in the arrest of Mike
Jovanovic, an Austrian, and George
Thomas. colored, by Constable Bonn
gardner and Detective Durnbaugh.
After a hearing before Squire Gardner

After some kind of a rumpus With
Sofia Tucker. proprietress of a West
Side boarding house, Saturday even
ing John Velca was arrested by Con-
stable Bomgardner and committed to
Jail in default of bail to await a hear
ing before Squire Gardner tonight.
He is charged with wantonly pointing
firearms.
Peter Stanovic was arrested by Con-
stable Glib Saturday evening. charged
with beating his cook. Mary Putnic.
Mary told the authorities that Peter
beat her because he objected to the
supper she cooked. He will he given
hearing tonight. Constable Glib
picked up Stanko Mravec, who says
he is from Harrisburg. Stanko, Glib
charges. was drunk and wanted to
crawl into several of Steelton's new
catch basins and sewers. Chief of Po-
lice Longnaker arrested two men for
fighting in Frederick street and Pa
trolmen Pearson took in two more for
fighting I'm Franklin street Saturday
night. Sleeping quarters were rather
crowded in the borough lookup until
this morning.

He knows of no specific instance where
sale of liquor to intoxicated persons
is permitted, but he thinks there is a
general violation of this law. This also
applies to habitual drunkards. The
Colonel says he sees them coming out
of the hotels.
Kunkel "On Roads"
The constable of the county re-
ported along with the city police to-
day, and most of their complaints re-
lated to the condition Of roads,
bridges. etc.
President Judge Kunkel called Dis
trict Attorney Stroups attention to
the condition of a road in Miff1in
township. There is a hitch as to who,
whether the township or borough au-
thorities, should bear the expense.
The road ought to be put in passable e
condition." declared Judge Kunkel
the people Of the borough and town
ship should not be required to suffer
because the officers of the municipali-
ties question each others right to
complete the work"
Bad roads were reported in Wayne,
Upper Paxton, Swatara, Reed, Middle
Paxton, Halifax and Susquehanna
townships Elizabethville is without
index boards and the finger of blame
is pointed at the town council. The
roadway through Union Deposit is
complained of and the courts atten-
ton is also called to the condition OF
the State highway in Washington
township. The poorhouse road is also
reported in bad shape.

A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractiVe as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a disadvantage
in numerous ways by wearing wrinkles,
lC she can avoid these hateful marks of
advancing age? Few women, however,
know what to do to effectually rid
themselves of wrinkles or saggincss.
Most of the advertised preparations
are unsatisfactory and very expensive.
But - very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any women can make,
will work wonders where all the patent
preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxollte
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in half pint OF witch hazel and
use as a wash lotion. The results are
practically instantaneous. Marked inn
provement is noticed Immediately after
the very first trial. Wrinkles and sag
glng are corrected and the face feels
so refreshed and smuglilSe.
