RHEUMATISM A MYSTERY

Some diseases give immunity from
another attack but rheumatism works
Just the other way.
Every attack of rheumatism invites
another. Worse than that it reduces
the body's power so that each attack
is worse than the one before.
If any disease needs curing early 1t
is rheumatism, but there is almost no
disease which physicians find more
difficult to treat successfully. When
medicine does help rheumatism no.
body knows how or why it does it,
All authorities agree that the blood
becomes thin with alarming rapidity
as rheumatism develops. Maintaining
the quality of the blood therefore is
q reasonable way of preventing and
combating rheumatism. That 1t works
out in fact is shown by the beneficial
results in the treatment of rheuma-
tism, acute, muscular and articular.
with the blood tenic, DIR. Williams

That hundreds who take DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for their rheumatism
get well is fact beyond dispute. That
the rheumatism does not return as
long as the blood is kept rich and red
is equally true.

REPAIRING THE HIGHWAYS

~ OVERNOR BRUMBAUGH is
keeping faith with the people
~ and fulfilling his campaign
pledge for better highways in
Pennsylvania. His order for putting
5000 men to work on the State roads
this week is a step in that direction.
Road repairs must be made in the
Spring time to be effective. To be
sure, the work must be continued
throughout the year, but unless it is
Iinaugurated Immediately after the
frost Is out of the ground much dam
age will be done that cannot be salts
factorily restored except at a cost far
in excess of that which would have
been necessary had the work been
done at the proper time.
Governor Brumbaugh has shown his
knowledge of this fact and is spending
the States money at period that will
not only give the people a full dollars
worth for every dollar expended but
will assure for them we'll repaired
roads during the entire warm weather
season.
1t is to the credit of the State High
way Department that it had its plans
all ready when the Governor asked
that they be put into operation.

WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT

HITY COUNCILMAN HARRY f.
q BOWMAN, superintendent of the
- Water Department. has done an
excellent work during the past
year. His annual report, submitted
yesterday. shows that the Harrisburg
Water Department began the present
fiscal year with a surplus of $50, 1858,
the largest in the history of the city,
and this after the superintendent had
substantially reduced the water rates.
Mr.. Bowman modestly reports that
most of the profit made was in pur-
chasing supplies and in making re-
pairs and improvements, where every
effort was made to buy all supplies
and to have all work done with the
least possible outlay of time and
money. This result, he says, was ac-
complished by competitive bidding and
by the prompt discounting of bills
payable.
That all sounds very simple, but it
reflects a management of the Water
Department in strict accordance with
business rules. Mr.. Bowman evidently
devoted to the department the same
care and attention he would have had
it been private business enterprise.
This is the way all public affairs
should be transac cted. His accomplish
ment in increasing the profits of his
department after having reduced the
price Of water to the consumer is GER
tainly worthy of the highest COM
mendation.

danger with which it menaces us.
There are nearly 100000 cases of ty-
phoid fever yearly in the United
States and nearly $4,000 deaths. For
ty-nine thousand infants die annually
OF enteritis, or summer complaint. In
both diseases most of the germs are
distributed by flies. 1t is impossible
to estimate how greatly the fly fig
ures in the ravages of tuberculosis,
diphtheria and cholera.
Therefore, it behooves the housewife
or the man at the desk who has re-
spect for his or her own immunity
from disease and a proper regard for
the health of the community, ito swat"
whenever the Spring fly buzzes in the
vicinity.
