RESIDENTS MUST
SAVE WATER
Borough Officials Request
Use of the Least Pos
sible Amount

The assistance of every Steelton
resident is essential if this borough
IS to give much water to Harris
burg during the next few days.
borough officials declared this morn
ing. A notice has been issued to
the residents of the borough re-
questing them to use no more water
than is absolutely necessary.
Members of the borough water
board by the request of President I.
j. Nelly of Council issued the fol-
lowing statement at noon to-day:
Owing to the water scarcity in
Harrisburg, it has been decided to
connect the Steelton main to Har-
risburg and supply one-half million
gallons per day If possible. During
this period it is absolutely necessary
that all water consumers must use
the least possible amount of water
to avoid an empty reservoir in Steel
ton. This will only be for a few
days and the water commissioners
and council hope that the residents
of Steelton will assist as much as
possible"

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Discoverer Tells Geo. A. Gorgas Not

Unless Allenrhu Completely BAN
ishes All Rheumatic Pains and
Twinges.
Mr.. James II. Allen suffered Cor
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C.
cumulated impurities. commonly cali
ed uric acid desposlts, were dissolved
IN the joints and muscles and expell-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery TO
others who took it. with " hat might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
fernrs everywhere know about mis-
discovery through the newspapers.
Geo. A. Gorgas has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this Vicinity
with the understanding that he will
freely return the purchase money TO
all who state they received no benefit

There is much refinement In the
styles appearing in new blouses, both
for ordinary and dressy wear, because
they are simple and depend upon fine
needlework decorations for their fin
ish. The receipt for the artistic in
blouses demands simplicity and sim
plicity is interesting in proportion to
exquisite finish and originality in the
design of garments and their garni-
lures. Women who are gifted with
fine sense of clothes are charmed with
the return of some of the beautiful,
old-time ideas of decorative needle
work in the new blouses, inspired by
work that was all done by hand in
those distant days when many women
occupied much of their time with sew
ing.
But 1t happens that in modern YER
sions of these old ideas machine work
often takes the place of handwOrk,
Even at that, considerable handwork in
basting as preparation for the machine
is necessary. Among the examples of
this are blouses in which small cord
is introduced between two thicknesses
of georgette crepe or other sheer ma
tefial by fine machine stitching on
each side OF the cord. This makes

place them under a more quiet one
whose eggs are Matching at the same
time.
When the eggs hatch unevenly, as is
frequently the case, those which are
slow in Matching may be placed I'M
der another hen. Hens often are rest
less after a part of the chickens are
out, which allows the remaining eggs
to become cool at the very time when
steady heat is necessary to successful
and strong matches. Remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
Matched as soon as Matching is over.
The mother hen should be fed as
soon as possible after the eggs are
Matched, as feeding tends to keep her
quiet. Hens that are not so fed will
sometimes leave their nests. In some
cases it is best that the hen remain
on the nest and brood the chickens for
at least "a hours after the Matching
is over.
1t is important at this stage of in
mites. Before the hen and her chick
ems are removed to a hrooding coop
she should be busted with q good in
sect powder. This should be repeated
every two weeks or as often as is nee
essary until the chickens are weaned.
If lice become thick on the chickens or
if they are troubled with "head lice"
a very little grease such as lard or
vaseline may be applied with the fin
wings and around the vent. Great care
is necessary, however, not to get too
much grease on the chickens as it will
stop their growth and in some cases
may prove fatal.

fine ridges which are arranged in par
allel lines, like pintucks at the front
Of the blouse and on the collar and
cuffs. Tiny crepe-covered buttons fast
ened by loops of the silk cord finish
these lovely blouses. There is nothing
in them but the material and the work,
but they bring high price.
The blouse shown in the picture
above is somewhat less difficult to
make, but not less beautiful. 1t is Of
crepe georgette, but would be as effec-
tive in fine French voile or batiste.
A checker-board design is made by
basting on small squares of the fab
ric at the front and on the cuffs of
the blouse and having them all out
lined with hemstitching, At each side
OF the band of decoration made in this
way on the front of the blouse there
are groups of very small tucks. A
narrow band of bead trimming is ex.
tended across the front panel of this
model 1t would not be as appropri-
ate on blouse of wolfe or batlste

1t looks as If there were about as
many silk suits as there are wool suits
IN the displays at the shops. One
hears women who have no need to
save money, saying and repeating it,
that they are not buying wool clothing
at all. They intend to look to cotton
and silk to supply them with what
they need, for this summer and they
are doing this from patriotic motives.
Wool suits are being remOdeled, fresh
ened with new collars and cuffs of
satin, or garnished with fiat silk braid
in many precise rows, and we are
pointing with pride to these made-over
possessions.
In the meantime those VINO manu-
facture silks are centering attention
on new beautiful and very practical
weaves, for all sorts of wear. There
are among them some wonderful, dis
tinctive dress fabrics.
AS silks become more and more
practical they will continue to replace

wool. Already there is not much, diff
ference In the designs for street suits
between those Of silk and those Of

ture there is a suit of satin and near
enough for comparison one Of wool.
Their lines and style features are very
much alike. The silk suit has skirt
with more fullness at the front than
usual; it is plain and hangs straight.
The coat, in the mode of today, is
uneven in length with long points at
the front. Its body is extended at
one side to form part Of wide girdle
where three fancy buttons finish il.
These buttons appear again as a deco
ration on the sleeve where 1t flares
at the hand.

mented by n sailor collar under 1t.

BEST RESULTS FROM CHICKS
Those Hatched Early Are Stronger and
More Vigorous Than Those to
Come Out Later.
prepared by the United States Depart
nent NJ AsricnltIireO

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
All things considered the early
Matched chicks give far the best re-
suits. AS rule they are stronger and
more vigorous than those Matched later
in the spring. They are produced from
eggs laid while the hens are in their
best breeding condition. After a long
period of laying hens lose something
of their vitality and their capacity to
transmit vigor to their offspring, and
so late-hatched chickens are, on the
whole, decidedly inferior to early
Matched in inherited vigor and consti-
tuition.
Because they are more thrifty and
vigorous, early-hatched chickens make
quicker, better and cheaper growth
than late chickens. Thrifty chickens
get more from a given quantity of feed
than others. Weak and understood
chickens often consume as much feed
as much larger and better-developed
birds and still make no perceptible
growth.

the sitting hen should not be disturbed
