WATER QUESTION
IS NOW SETTLED
Wormleysburg Council Passes
Ordinance to Pay Riverton
Co. For Fire Plugs

Wormleysburg, Pa, April 3.-An or
dinance bridging a >long-contested cone
troversy between the borough and the
in regard to payment for firepluss
now in the borough and the installa-
tion of additional ones. was passed
finally by borough council last night.
Since the town was Incorporated into
borough there has been a continual
argument between council and the
water company about payment for the
plugs. 1t is said that the company in
stalled five plugs in the borough under
the impression that propertyholders
would pay the rental When the town
became borough the company came
to council and asked for the rental
and threatened to cut off the water.
On several occasions ordinances were
drawn up to adjust this matter but
no action was taken.
The new ordinance provides for pay
ment for these five plugs in the future
and several additional ones. The ofdi-
nance also provides that better hy-
drants should replace the five already
installed.
An ordinance requiring the number
ing of houses and lots in. Second ants
Third streets was introduced. but not
passed on first reading. The houses
will be numbered north and south with
Ferry street as the center
Burgess j. Fred Hummel vetoed the
ordinance requiring the Valley Rail-
ways Company to pay a certain sum
each year for cars running through the
borough. The reason for his veto, the
burgess said, was that the tax was
entirely too low and that the ordinance
does not place any tax on the poles.
The matter was referred to the ordi-
nance committee and new one will
be drawn up and presented at the next
meeting. The ordinance was passed at
the last meeting and provided that the
company should pay S110 yearly tax
on the cars.
On account of no applicants for town
constable and a position as councilman
these positions remained vacant

WHY BATTERIES
WILL WEAR OUT
Local Expert Expl3ins Electro
Chemical Process That Gov
.erns Life of Battery

"The storage battery" says d. j.
Moran. local Willard representative. in
charge of the Harrisburg Storage Bat
terry Company. sis just as liable to
wear out as. tires and like the tire, it
must be given careful attention by the
owner If the longest possible life is to
be obtained from it.
"A storage battery is chemical ap-
paratus consisting of positive and neg
ative lead plates immersed in electro
lyte, solution of sulphuric acid. When
the starting motor is used or the lights
or ignition system put on the circuit.
certain electro-chemieal action takes
place between the positive and mega
tive plates in the presence of the cleo
trolyte sand electricity flows through
the wires.
"As this chemical action continues
the character of the plates change and
the current will, ultimately, cease to
How and the battery will be dead. This
condition, however, is forestalled by
the generator, causing the current to
now in the opposite direction, or to
Charge the battery
Charging the battery does not mean
that electricity is being stored up by
the battery, but that by means of cleo
tricity the plates are being restored to
the condition in which they were be-
fore the discharge began
because it is a chemical appara-
tus, then, and not mechanical like a
machine of iron and steel, the storage
battery cannot be subjected to wear
and tear of service without gradually
deteriorating. Even when the battery
a
and discharge is slowly taking place.
In time the plates lose their capac-
ity for reacting to the electrical charg-
ing. The insulation is all the time
gradually wearing out and finally that
gives way. Even with the best of care
and with the best possible material,
this is going to happen with any stor-
age battery.
But the battery does not always re-
ceive the best attention. 1t is the one
accessory on the car which the aver
age car owner seems to neglect. The
car owner, however, should get his full
moneys worth from a good battery if
he gives ii care, although, as we have
pointed out. he should expect to buy
new battery some day. This is just
as reasonable an expense as buying a
new tire.
From the foregoing it is perfectly
obvious that batteries must be made
of the best quality possible to begin
with and then. if they are to be kept
in efficient condition they must have
good treatment at the hands of the
owners. 1t is impossible to prescribe
any definite term of life for storage
battery for its period of efficiency may
vary greatly, according to the two fac
tors just mentioned, as well as in ac-
cordance with the quality and eondi-

rs Children Disprove
An Anti Story
Concerning Sufragists

AS refutation of an assertion made
by antisuffrage workers at the State
Capitol the effect that members
of the board of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association have no
children, a poll was taken at the last
meeting of suffrage executives.
This revealed that of the 13 mem
bers of the board, two of whom are
not married, 10 are mothers, having
in all % children. The youngest of
the suffrage children is Roberta Bed
ford, daughter of Mrs. J. Claude Bed
ford. of Media, who is just eight
weeks old, and who is one of four
daughters in the Bedford family.
1t was revealed that one member
of the board, Mrs. Edwin Linton. of
Washington, Pa, is a grandmother
Other members are mothers of mar
ried daughters or sons already making
their way in the business or profess
sional world.
The mothers among the suffrage ex-
ecutives are: Mrs. George B. Orlady,
of Huntingdon, president. three chill
dron; presidents, Mrs. j. O. Mill

Mills Beach, of Bellefonte, treasurer.
In addition, Mrs. Antoinette Funk
of the legislative committee of the
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, who has been active in the
capital, is the mother of two chill
dren.
Antisuffrage workers also spread
the report, according to members of

to my attention, Nuxated Iron. In
practice I have found this an ideal
restorative and unbuilding agent in
these cases above mentioned"
NoTE-Nuxated Iron which is pre-
scribed and recommended above by
physicians in such great variety of
cases, is not patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but one which is well
known to druggists and whose iron
constituents are widely prescribed by
eminent physicians both in Europe and
America. Unlike the older inorganic
iron products it is easily assimilated,
does not injure the teeth, make them
black. nor upset the stomach; on the
contrary, 1t is most potent remedy
in nearly all forms of indigestion as
well as for nervous, rundown con-
ditions. The manufacturers have such
great confidence in nuxated iron, tnat
they offer to forfeit S10A00 to any

The following Saturday the Super
