NECESSITY TO
GOVERN SERVICE
Important Decision Given by
the Public Service Com
mission in Water Case


The Public Service Commission mas
approved the application of the North
ampton Water Company for a certifi-
cate authorizing 1t to extend it's lines
into district adjoining the borough
of Freemansburg. against which the
Bethlehem City Water Company had
protested. The extension is to fur
nish water for a district being de-
veloped because of industrial activity
and the Bethlehem Company declared
that it was willing and able to fur
nish the water required in the dis
trict the Northampton company
sought to enter
The opinion says:
THE applicant has presented state
of facts which differentiates this case
from the ordinary one where a new
company seeks to enter a field already
covered by the charter or the opera
tions of an existing company. The
district which the applicant proposes
to serve is a small portion of a town
ship covered by the charter of the
protestant, but which has never been
served by it,"
The opinion also notes that the de-
mand is an exceptional one due to the
immediate construction of one thou
sand houses and that the applicant
"is in a position to construct its
works and supply the district in a

Is
NEED OF THE HOUR
DR.. Dixon Discusses the Stu
alton in Regard to Disease
in Homes and Camps

Prevention of disease is the need
of the hour in home and in camp,
says DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, Commits
sioner of Health. DR.. Dixon declares
in the course of a health talk that
people must understand the situa-
ton. The Commissioner says:
Before the causes of diseases were
known or the practical application of
natures ways of producing immunity
to disease. we had to suffer an attack
of sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was a difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous,
both in times of peace as we'll as of
war.
Then the day of prevention came.
Gradually the laws of nature were
unfolded until to-day we know meth
DDS of preventing diseases and anti
doting the poisons generated by
germs in the body.
1t was even as late as the Spanish
American War that we lost more SOL
diers from preventable diseases than
we did from bullets. This was a dis
graceful thing, as sanitarians could
have prevented the high death rate.

The Presidents embargo proc
imation follows:
Whereas, Congress has enact
ed, and the President has on
the fifteenth day OF June, 1917,
approved u law which contains
the following provisions:
whereas during the present
war the President shall find
that the public safety shall so
require and shall make proc
lamation thereof, it shall be un-
lawful to export from or ship
from or take out of the United
States to any country named in
such proclamation any article
or articles mentioned in such
proclamation, except at such
time or times. or under such
regulations and orders, and sub
ject to such limitations and eX-
ceptions as the President shall
prescribe, until otherwise order
ed by the President or by Con-
gress; provided, however, that
no preference shall be given to
the ports of one state over those
of another.
ANY person who shall eX-
port, ship, or take out, or de-
liver or attempt to deliver for
export, shipment, or taking out,
any article in violation of this
title, or of any regulation or
order made hereunder, shall be
fined not more than $4,000,
or, If a naturalized person, i'm
prisoned for not more than two
years, or both; and any article
so delivered or exported, ship
ped, or taken out, or so at
tempted to be delivered or eX-
ported, shipped, or taken out,
shall be seized and forfeited to
the United States; and any Off
Ger, director or agent of a cor
poration who participates in any
such violation shall be liable TO
like fine or Imprisonment, or
both.
Whenever there is a reason
able cause to believe that any
vessel, domestic or foreign, is
about to carry out of the United
States any article or articles in
violation of the provisions of
this title, the collector of GUS
toms for the district in which
such vessel is located is hereby
authorized and empowered, sub
ject to review by the Secretary
of Commerce, to refuse clear
ance to any such vessel, domes-
tic or foreign, for which clear
ance is required by law, and
by formal notice served upon
the owner, master, or person or
persons in command or charge
of any domestic vessel for which
clearance is not required by
law, to forbid the departure of
such vessel from the port, and
it shall thereupon be unlawful
for such vessel to depart. Who
ever, in violation of any of the
provisions of this section shall
take, or attempt to take, or au-
thoriZe the taking of any such
vessel out of port or from the
jurisdiction of the United States,
shall be fined not more than
$4,000 or imprisoned not more
than two years, or both; and,

From what we can learn through the
newspaper and other sources, France
to-day is short of disinfectants in
her trenches, We do not see any
great public excitement over this con-
dition, or any concerted action of our
good citizens to give their mites to
purchase and transport disinfectants
for the French trenches so as to pre-
vent disease.
Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue to have a hold on
the lay mind. and possibly, to some
extent, on the medical mind.
Both the people at home in every
day life and the soldiers in our army
are much to blame for the sickness
that exists. The medical professions s
advice is not taken when these per-
sons are well, but the moment they
get good and sick they call. "Oh doc
tor, do relieve me from this awful
pain" or "Oh doctor. save my life"
Perhaps this call comes too late.
few words of prevention from the
doctor to the patient and these few
words obeyed, might have prevented
the sickness and saved suffering and
sorrow.
AS an example of the indifference
of our people to advice given to keep
tneHn wei, VIII cite Wndl happened
in the department of health only a
few years ago. The National Guard
was to encamp at a certain place. The
department of health surveyed all
the water supplies. Where contain
ination was found we locked down
some of the pump handles, or, where
there were open springs, placed large
signs upon them marked dangerous"
Yet to prevent soldiers from drinking
this polluted water, the officer in
charge had to detail pickets so they
would not satisfy their thirst from
these diseaso-producing waters.
Do not let us lose sight, individually
or collectively. of preventing disease
both at home and in our military
camps, let them be where they may.

Governors Vetoes Are
Running Above Average

Governor Martin q. Brumbaush has
disposed of 41s OF the bills passed by
the last Legislature and has moro
than that on his desk for action be-
tween now and July 28. Ntnety-six OF
the bills acted upon were vetoed. a
higher percentage than usual In a
Governors second session. OF the bills
approved 27s were of general charac-
ter and forty-four were appropriation
bills.
The Governor Is scheduled to spend
this week working on the appropria-
ton bills with Chairman c. ]. Buck
man, of the senate appropriations
committee. He will hold his approvals
down to SS2 1000. which is consid-
cred as a safe" limit, providing the
direct inheritance tax bill is approved
as is generally expected. This means
that the Governor will have to cut off
almost $4,000 900.
Less than 130 bills of general char
acter are in the Governors desk.
Among them are the bills to suspend
operation of the full crew law. the
township code and various others
passed late in the session.
