Civic Club Has Plan
For Public Playground

The Steelton Civic Club at meet
ing in Trinity parish house yesterday
afternoon, decided to ask borough
council to permit the closing of q Sec
ton of North Second street, to allow
the ground to be used as a public play
ground. Members of the club declar-
ed that the street is little used north
of Franklin street to Gibson and that,
as there are few houses on either side,
it would make an ideal playground.
The club decided to carry out its
plan to provide gardens for the bor-
ough's needy by obtaining permission
from property owners to use the va
cant ground in the borough. Mrs.
Robert NJ. Rutherford was made
chairman of the committee to complete
the plan and Mrs. w. f. Darby was
appointed to succeed Mrs. Frank Car
ney, who has gone to Florida.

Advises Lime
or Tuberculosis

According to the Journal of the
American Medical Association DULY
27, 1912. Page 30S), DIR. G. f. Olsen, of
Minneapolis, holds that a deficiency
of calcium" (lime) is responsible for
the physical conditions which lead to
tuberculosis, "and the thernpy he adj
xOcates rests on this basis.'
One of the reasons for the wide
spread success of Eckman's Altera-
tive in the treatment of tuberculosis
and chronic throat and bronchial
troubles is its ability to supply this
deficiency.
1t contains a lime salt in such form
and so combined with other remedial
agents as to be easily assimilated by
the average person. There are on
record many cases in which it seems
to have effected complete and lasting
betterment.
However, we make no exaggerated
claims for Eckmans Alternative We
prefer that 1t be tried on the same
basis one tries any other prescrip-
ton, and we believe it will help, for
IT, HAS HELPED in ANY cases.
1t contains no opates narcotics or
Informing drugs. Therefore, it Is
safe to take. IL your druggist is out

it direct.

cidentally he said he is always at lib
erty not only to read the company's
volunteers whenever and as often as
he wishes, but he has been offered
the services of a meter-reader by the
company.
Portable Plan Best, Says DiehI
In speaking of the plan to-day Mr.
Diehl said. MY only reference to my
probable intention of submitting the
question of portable meters to council
applied to such time as the electric
company's reconstruction work is
completed. Personally, I think the
portable plan is the best as it permits
the investigation and accurate test
ing of any troble at any point on
the service, where as the permanently
located meters cover only the distinct
in which they are located. These may
show absolute efficiency all the time
whereas at other points on the system
there may be fluctuations.
''The electric company is now en-
gagged in reconstructing it's lines in
such a way as to get it's wires and
poles off the streets and it has gone
away beyond what it would have real
ly been required to do thus far. II
has really done splendidly by the
city, although the only question that
has often arisen in my mind is
whether or not the company did not
limit itself to short time in which to
do the work it mapped out with the
appropriation at its disposal. 1t is al
most a physical impossibility to ac-
complish what it had planned in the
time it allowed itself"
LAS for taking the matter into
Council my only intention had been
to advise the commissioners after the
electric company's reconstruction
work was finished as to whether il
would be moro advantageous to the
consumers to adopt the portable me.
terS rather than the permanent ones
in view of good results that were
now obtaining under the portable sys.
tenn. The ordinance however, pro.
vided for the installation of the per.
manent meters. The present plar
seems TO have been working out very
well and in fact so far as ! know there
has been no complaint"
In discussing the question to-day c.
NJ. Kaltwasser, general manager OF tho
electric company, said that the com.
pany has Oh hand half a dozen OF
the permanent meters, but was only
awaiting the completion of it's recon.
struction work before installing them
The consumer is guarded in the mean.
time by the portable meters. He said

service a portable meter to take tests

AUTOMOBILE SHOWS
ARE In FULL SWING


The variety at the shows is enough
to interest everyone whether or not
he is a gasoline enthusiast. The or
chestra, the decorations and souvenirs
are attractions for those who cannot
understand the workings of the DEM
onstration chassis with slowly moving
engines and dissected portions to
show the internal working arrange
ments.
Prices Descending
Souvenirs and finely illustrated cata-
logs are given out by exhibitors in
such profusion as to load every visitor
and keep him studying for months
and arouse an interest in automobiles
that may finally tempt him on to pur-
chase when the price descends to his
level.
And prices for the big, fully
equipped six and eight cylinder cars
are getting down to a'figure where the
ordinary man can think more seriously
of having a car, or at least q four
cylinder of modest size and price.
Many New Features
One of the striking features of prac-
tically all models this year is the left
side steering wheel. which has been
gradually coming into favor in recent
years. Other noticeable improvements
are the one-man top, which eliminates
the central post supports for the can
opy and greatly facilitates the raising
and lowering, also the 'Jiffy' curtains,
which can be set in a storm without
the ordinary confusion, delay and pro-
family unavoidable with the old form
of sectional curtains. The general de-
sign is smoother than ever with more
massive hoods over the engines and
easier curves merging into the ton
neaus. No sharp corners or protrud-
ing parts can be seen and the first
impression of the 1915 models is one
of silent. massive strength.
