SATURDAY NIGHT. TONEAI
MAN MAKING GOOD HIS
TREATMENT IN THIS CITY.

When the Toneal man came to
this city a week ago, reports of
the remarkable success of his
treatment in the west had pre-

now duplicated by his success in
this city, as he is receiving calls
from an immense number of
people each day.
The most conspicuous feature
Of the interest which the Toneal
man is arousing here is what
people say who are using the
much discussed medicine. The
following statement is among
those obtained recently:

Women Of America!

What's the worth of one baby's life?
The time has come when you must put money
value on it.
So much Red Cross money available 50 many
babies restored
a little less Red Cross money available SO many
babies lost by default.
It's as plain as that
When you made that first Red Cross investment
you had fairly clear idea that there plenty to be
done and that the Red Cross would make every dollar
of money and every minute of time count
But have you now clear picture of what price
somebody will have to pay for delayed dollar
hundred dollars withheld?
You can read a casual page of Red Cross reports
from anywhere lover there without endangerng the
GOODNESS of your decision as to chow much.
Suppose you had found another use " for your
Red Cross money a while ago and a corresponding
part of the piece of work described below went undone

Since five o'clock this morning bu,
one Of the two big pumps at the city
pump station has been in operation.
Early this morning another WORKOUT
boiler tube burst making II necessary
TO shut down one of the pumps until
the boiler had been cooled and a new
tube installed. II will take only
short time to replace the tube and pro
Viding no other trouble comes up,
both pumps will soon be in operation
pumping their capacity into the Teser-
vOiT.
As a means OF conservation, which
Is absolutely necessary with one pump
out OF commission and no foresight as
to how soon other parts Of the pump
ing machinery will break down. water
all over the city will be cut to min.
imum this evening. Between nine and
ten o'clock the water supply will be
cut almost off, only small stream per
mitted to flow through the mains.
Water Commissioner Smith is still
urging everyone to lend assistance in
the serious situation by using only
what water is necessary.
II was learned that in some parts Of
the city yesterday people were out
with their hose watering gardens. This
morning Commissioner Smith gave the
city police specific instructions to ar
rest all such persons. A special effort
e also being made to repair imme-
dlately any leaks which have occurred
recently. Those in charge Of repairs
10 water lines have found much trou-
Bile during the past week or two. as
the chemicals in the water has been
very active in eating holes in water
lines.
All day yesterday and all last night
the machinery at the pump station
worked splendidly, pumping their
maximum amount Of water into the
reservoir. As a result Of the efficient
work Of the pumps the dry reservoir
Of Tuesday was filled up above the
ten foot mark and the zero pressure
was increased to a pressure Of ninety
pounds. A sixty pound pressure is
sufficient TO furnish all consumers
with water.
All day yesterday there was evil
dence OF the great amount Of water
which was being drawn from the
spigots by people who feared another
water famine similar to that Of Tues
day. In all parts OF the city people
drew water from their spigots to fill
thei- bath tubs, buckets and pans and
in some sections people are reported
b have dug holes in the ground for
the storage OF water other places in
the city, barrels and even spittoons
were filled 10 capacity. As an evil
dence Of the great amount OF water
that was used the water pressure at
certain hours in the day fell away
down and then gradually came up
again.
The water department will keep its
best men at the pump station in charge
Of the machinery and in case OF a
breakdown everything possible will be
done to make the necessary repairs.
The public is only asked to be conser-
vative in their use Of water until the
old machinery at the pump station can
be replaced.
