METERS WOULD STOP Waste
OF WATER AlNlI!l|hl||AlR |!
Murray Makes Tests Showing
How Present System is Un-
fair to Careful User /

"This city could make enough
money in one year through change
to the meter system, to pay for en-
tire installation at approximately $780,
000," says Harry E. Murray, manager
of the water department, whose re-
cent report to the board of supervis-
crs carried with it the plea to change
the charge system in the water de-
partment from a fat rate to meter
basis.
I'VE are delivering daily 10000, 900
gallons of water" continues Murray,
when tests show us that we could
get along just as well on 100000
gallons. Every million gallons that
we delivered above this last figure
would be so much velvet for the
water department"
Murray maintains that the argument
that some people would suffer from
such a change and that the city as a
whole would suffer on account OF stop.
ping of irrigation. viii not and does
not work out on tests.
Meters stop people from wasting
water he says, and no one suffers
il compelled to quit this waste, while
the man, who is always careful to con.
serve Id his use Of water is being
benefited. He is not having to pay
for his careless neighhor."
From now on the water manager
intends to work INCREASINGLY for the
establishment of a meter system EN-
tire. believing this to be the most
equitable method of having people pay
for their. water.
Ten Districts Tested.
Tests made recently in ten separ-
ate districts of the. city, Manoa, Wal
kiki, Kakaako. Punahou, Punchbowl
Palama, Kaimuki, Kalihi. Nuuanu and
the downtown. district show some in
teresting results. -
The total amount from meter rates
on these 136 tests was $1731-35, while
the total for the 136 on fat rates was
$1443.20, a difference of $2SS50 less
for fat rates.
However, this does not mean that
all of the meter rates proved higher.
for many users of water We're found
whose fat rates far exceeded their
rates by meter,
For example, out of six tests in Ma.
nea only three showed meter rates
in excess of fat rates. two were equal
and the other had difference in favor
of the meter charge from SO to $40.
In Waikiki. the rate was three. to
four out of seven tests, four persons
being found who would have to pay
more If meters were installed. which
shows that their present fat rate is

WHY "AN-URIc"
Is An insurance Against Sudden
DeathI, Sufferers From Back
ache, Rheumatism and Kid
: .s'@. ney Trouble.

Before an Insurance company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician viii test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backaehe, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of iumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night This is the time you,
should consult some physician of wide,
experience as DR.. Pierce of the.
Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N Y. Send him 10 cents for,
sample package of his new discovery
-"An-uric" Write him your Symp-
toms and send a sample of urine for,
test. Experience, has taught Dr.,
Pierce that "An-uric" is the most pow,
erful agent in dissolving uric acid, as.
hot water meIts sugar, besides being,
absolutely harmless and is endowed.
with other properties, for it preserves
the kidneys In healthy condition by
thoroughly cleansing them. Being so.
many times more active than lithia,
it clears the heart valves of any sandy,
substances which may, clog them and
checks the degeneration OF the, blood
vessels, as. well as regulating blood
pressure. @An-uric" is a regular IN
surance and life-saver for all big meat
eaters and those who deposit lime
salts in their joints Ask the druggist:
for "Anpric" put UP by DIR. Pierce, in
50-cent packages.

n n ONTAGUE JEKYI,L was born
M In 1916. IN Is1l-two hundred
!" and forty-s;x years later he
was only ffty-fvc years old.
In his youth. he won the friendship
and gratitude OF one of the mystic
men OF science which the seventeenth
! century produced and whose strange
secrets have long since been lest. This
scientist taught Jelxyll the formula for
remaining always at the sane age.
At midnight. once every ten years.
Jekyll was obligel to repeat this for
mula. II he should fail TO do so, he
would at once become ten years older.
Meantime, he was immune from all Ill
ness and from . all encroachmcnts of
Gle age. He was not. however. secure
from accidents. This magic formula
had no power TO avert death by Hio-
leDce. l .; a ~ .st
But, SO long as he could keep cut
OF accident ana could remember to re-
peat the formula on a certain date,
once every ten years, he would have
not only perpetual life. but perpetual
youth as we'll.
JekyII at tirst was overwhelmed with
an almost holy icy ut the immortality
thus granted him. He had dabbled in
science. And nc resolved 10 devote his

Then, after few years, he fell in
love with girl fourteen years younger
than himself. They were married, and
they lived together until she was nine
ty-four. and he was los. He used to
make up" to simulate age, so as not
to arouse suspicion. When his wife died
he re-entered social life in another
part OF England. as man Of thirty
Ave.
Again he fell in love and married. In
a few years his wife died, too. SO,
at the end OF that particular ten-year
period, he did not repeat the formula.
As result he woke up next morning
forty-five years old.
Recovering from his grief he married
again. But he was careful. now. not
to let him self care so, much for ono
woman as to risk his lease of life. He
married often. after that. no less than
seventeen times In all. But. as soon
as he began TO tire of a wife. he would
desert her managing usually to give
the impression that he had been killed.
and would move TO some other country.
