Altoona Directors Will
Study City Manager
Problem in Ohio Cities

Altoona, Pa, Nov. S.-As soon as
it was certain last evening that the
candidates favoring a city manager
had been elected, the commissioners
elect were unanimous on the plan of
procedure they will adopt.
Within the next ten days Messrs.
Lafferty, Westfall, Stevens and Cas-
sidy will make an extended trip at
their own expense to several Ohio
and other middle west cities, includ-
ing Springfield and Dayton. Their
objective points will be those places
where the city manager plan of mu-
mcipal government is in effect at the
present time. Several days will he
spen4 at each city and study of con-
ditions made. Each of the Altoona
men will take copious notes and
gather all data that he expects to be
of future value.
The new directors will then return
to the city and turn their attention
10 the information they have gather
ed in their travels. They will strike
comparisons or parallels where pos
sible, attempting to adapt what they
think good, to the local city govern
ment.
At home the commissioners expect
to have plenty to do within the next
few days, studying local conditions
with q view of learning more about
cur government than the knowledge
possessed by the ordinary layman.
Problems that confronted the pres
ent administration will be studied
and legislation and actions that have
been criticised will also be gone in

ITALY ASKS US.
FOR AIRPLANES
One Thousand Hviators Better
Than Hundred Thousand
Troops; Food Needed

London, Nov. s. = 1t is announced
at the Austro- Hungarian Army head
quarters, according to a dispatch
from Amsterdam to the Exchange
Telegrapuh Company. that the Teu-
tonic armies operating against Italy
numbered five.
They say Italy has superabund-
ance of troops. but never has had
enough airplanes. which they believe
will prove the key to further warfare,
whether it is of resistance or aggres-
sion. They assert that the United
States, therefore, will do far better
for her allies by furnishing airplanes
than in sending troops, task which
it will require great effort to carry
out, and also large quantities of food
to maintain the men. They say that
1000 aviators would be better than
l00,0 900 troops.
The Italian point of view seemed to
be vindicated not only when the Ital-
ian forces took Bainsizza in Septem-
ber, but during the recent retreat
when the Capronis protected the rear
and also destroyed by bombardment
storehouSes of supplies, which the re-
treating infantry was unable to do
After the retreat the Capronis went
over the ground and blew up the
Italian supplies.

Boston. Mass. - your nerves need
phosphorus like your muscles need
food" says DR.. Reid, "and the trouble
with most men and women past thirty
is they have exhausted their natural
supply of phosphorus and find them
selves run down and unable TO DO
their usual work. Often they LOOK
do full days work but while they
may have strength of a certain kind,
and often do, they lack the endur-
der perfect control. They lack de-
cision and find it difficult to con-
centrate on one thing and finish it,
and often show a disposition to take
life with easy indifference; or they
are nervous. irritable and easily
startled at any sudden noise or un-
usual occurrence"
But generally a lack of phosphorus
shows itself in a lack OF general in
terest.-apathy, indifrerence,-to such
an extent that people are often
only nerve-starved. Such a condition
never comes on suddenly, though II
may reach crisis and seem to. We

81 have seen phosphorated malt
produce astonishing results in a very
short time. Recently a patient came
to me physically run down and on
the verge of mental collapse. His
daily work had become drudgery and
he got neither rest nor recreation
from his sports or holidays. He could
neither sleep nor concentrate his
to eat less and take two tive-grain
tablets of phosphorated malt after
each meal. In less than ten days he
walked into my office full of vim and
vigor.-his eyes bright, his step firm
and his manner that of a man of
twenty-five though he was well past
fifty"
The value of malt is well known
to all physicians. 1t is a remarkable
tonic and tissue builder. Combined
In phosphorated malt it increases
mental stamina, balances the blood
and aids the system to convert food
into living tissue. The old liquid forms
of malt are not pleasant or convenient
to take and most of them contain al
cohol, which produces a needless
stimulation always followed by. a
dangerous and depressing, reaction.
Phosphorated malt has the tissue
building properties of malt without
the evils of alcoholic stimulation. In
1t malt is so combined with other in
gradients as to produce a fine eX-
hilaration and a noticeable feeling of
well-being After few days Of it
you will wake in the morning vigor-
Gus and refreshed. ready to rise and
begin the days work with double
confidence, optimism and endurance.
Note: The feeling of eXhilaration
often noticeable after a few weeks
use of phosphorated malt is not the
result of stimulation. 1t is the buoy
life stream flowing freely. laden with
the nourishments the body needs
and flushing out through the elimin-
bodv needs to be rid. The fine fi eve eie
hilaration of perfect health and
faultless nourishment is SO rare to
most people as to be remarkable and
strange. Phosphorated malt is sold
by all druggists and especially in
Harrisburg by J. Nelson Clark, IL. c..
Kennedy and others.

been Cancelled by the local man
agement.
Director Hubbard received pro-
tests from a number of patriotic or
ganizations and from many indivi-
duals against Kreisler concerts. They
took the ground that since Kreisler
was an officer in the Austrian army,
and Austria was an ally of Amer
ica's enemy, it would be unpatriotic
to permit him to appear at a public
entertainment.

Historical Pieces Wanted

The independents Reporter desires
historical pieces ON various subjects
pertaining to Somerset County.
Among them might be mentioned
early histories of various Somerset
County towns. Often times a To-
cality of much less extent than a
town will have a history of its own,
sometimes centered around school
or church.
In many instances this paper can
aid greatly in keeping alive the in
terest in school Alumni Associations
by publishing timely articles, histori-
cal or otherwise, about them. Where
photos of persons, buildings, etc, are
available. they often add greatly to
the interest of such pieces.
We solicit correspondence from any
one interested in the above.
