HOG ISLAND OFFICIALS.
FIGHT POWER RATES.
Charge Discrimination Against
Yard by Delaware Co. Before
Public Service Commission y
CONTRACT ENTERS DISPUTE

Hog Island, the largest purchaser of
electricity in the country, is being dis
criminatcd against in favor Of the
smaller consumer, government officials
charged today during the hearing on
the complaint against the Delaware
County Electric Company, before Pub
lie Service Commissioner Samuel NJ.
Clements, Jr.
The complaint was brought by the
United States shipping board and the
emergency feet corporation, following
an investigation started in January.
According to William Y. G. Andcr-
son. counsel for the Emergency Fleet
Corporation who is being assisted by
United States District Attorney Francis
Fisher Kane, the increased rates an
nouncCd by the electric company are
unjust and unreasonable.
He stated that contract was entered
into December |, 1917, whereby the
electric company was TO furnish the
power for five years following the COM
plction of tho plant. The contract did
not become fully effective until January
|. 1919, but bills were paid under il
prior TO the completion of tho yard,
Investigation Ordered
The size of tho bill rendered in Jan
uary.' Mr.. Anderson declared. "lcd to
an order from Washington to investigate
tho charges II was discovered fol
lowing the investigation that Hog Island
is paying ms much for its power as many
smaller plants further south on the
river. and that the rates are the same
as those paid by all Of the smaller con
sumCrS.
Hog Island is tho largest purchaser
of electric power in tho country, and
consumes three times as much clcc-
tricity as any other shipyard. II is our
contention that the new rates are dis
criminatory and unjust.
Efforts to introduce the original con
/ tract as evidence were objected to by
attorneys for tho electric company on
tho ground that the contract is nc
. longer building, aud that the Public
/ Service Commission has the power tc
/ fix the rates. Commissioner Clement
sustained the objection. but permitted
the contract to be introduced merely as
history in the case.
Shubert Case is Deferred

make this test and see.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is albu-
ninous matter. The object of Pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to day by
day combat il.
But pepsin must be activated. The
usual method is an acid harmful to the
teeth. So pepsin long seemed barred.
Science has now overcome this trouble
by discovering a harmless activating
method. 1t is that method which makes
possible this efficient film combatant.
You can prove the effects, and
quickly. Send the coupon for TO-
Day Tube. Note how clean, the teeth
feel after using. Mark the absence OF
the Shiny film. See how the teeth
whiten--how they glisten -as the
fixed film disappears.
Compare the results with your old
methods. Learn what clean teeth mean.
Then let your own mirror tell you what
is best, This test is most important to
you. Make it at once. Cut out the

- A To-Day Tube
FfGa ofPcpsodent, to
show you how
to end film. See below.
Look in the Glass
Il Dental authorities

Look at your teeth in the glass. Then
brush them in this new way for ten
days and look again.
There is film on your teeth -- a
Shiny film. 1t clings to the teeth,
enters crevices and stays. The tooth
brush does not end it. The ordinary
tooth paste does not dissolve it. So it
stays between the teeth and elsewhere
and may do ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors not the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which fertnents and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Thus most tooth troubles are
now traced to film.
Dental science, after years of search
ing, has found a way to combat it. Able
authorities have proved it by many
careful tests. Now the method is EN-.
bodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent,
and leading dentists everywhere arc
urging its daily use.
A To-Day Tube is now supplied to
everyone who asks. Test it and see
what it means to you.
