nature in adding healthy tissue and
weight to the human body in three
weeks time in many instances, and
also induces feeling of renewed
strength and endurance. Thousands
of thin folks will naturally be bene-
flied.
Authorities assert that the increas-

the fact that it contains strength and

INDUSTRIES ASK
CHEAPER WATER
RATE OF CITY
Pipe Mill and Central Iron
Say No Reduction Is Made
For Quantity Users

Complaints against charging big
industrial plants such as the Central
Iron and Steel Company and Har-
risburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Com
pany the same rates for water as
householders. were made to MEM
bres of City Council to-day by F. j.
Hall, representing the former, and
w. P. Starkey, the latter corpora
ton.
The officials of the two plants told
the com missioners that they pre-
ferred a rate for water similar to the
one formerly in use in the city which
provided for a lower charge when
large quantities were used daily.
Mr.. Hall declared that the Central
Company last year used 50,0OO,OOO
gallons of water month on eight
meters, about one-sixth of the total
consumption in the city. The Pipe
bending plant used 100000 gal
Ions, Mr.. Starkey said
Cost Is Lower
There is a much lower cost of
production for the big consumer
Mr.. Hall explained. Even from n
clerical standpoint one can see that
with only eight meters and one bill
paid monthly how much work is
saved. Last year the company paid
about $4,000 in water rents or prac
tically double the amount of the
previous year. We don't want the
water at less than cost but | am GER
tain that the percentage of increase
in rates for the manufacturing plants
is much greater than for the do
mestic consumer under the present
system.
I'VE have no objection to make to
the ready to serve charge and are
positive that it is right thing for
the city to do. In fact our engineers
heartily approved of it and said that
it seemed to them to be low. 1t is a
good principle to make such a
charge, however, and is very fair"
Want Quantity Pure
Both Mr.. Starkey and Mr.. Hall
told the commissioners that in all
other business the big buyer taking
large quantities gets a lower price
than the small purchaser.
Mayor ID. l.. keister and Commits
sioner +. u. Gross called attention
to the warning given by J. w. Led
ouX, the Philadelphia engineer, who
prepared the present rate schedule,
in which he said that many water
plants We're compelled to go out OF
business because of rates which were
too low for manufacturing plants.
Mention was made of the differ
ent rates given to large consumers
by electric companies and of the
plans of the Public Service Commits
sion which may divide consum ers
into different classes so that equit-
able rates can he fixed. The ques-
ton of cots of operating the city
water plant depreciation and inter
est charges was discussed also.
The City Commissioners took no
action on the complaints which
