PINCHOTIS RIGHT ON WATER POWER Water Pmr BelHjs ti Hit People and All tkt Patplt Shild Hata Ut Pnfih The great war in which our nation is engaged will be won not alone by fond and men. but by mechanical (tower as well. Without mechanical power we could not make or move the weapons with which we fight guns, »munition, ships, and supplHN. Our national resources of power, whether from «coal. oil. or water power, are national war necessities. We need them to win the war In thia gigantic struggle our se curity requres us to use all the»»* great resource«, and to use them wisely and well. The people of the United States own some fifty million undeveloped water horse power or aliout enough to run every train, trolley, factory, mill, mine, and electric power plant we have. Eor ten years the friends of con- wrvetion have urged the develop- men of public water power in the public interest. But development has been held l»ack by a little group of water power magnates and their friends in congress who have blocked all legislation which would not give them these valuable properties for ever and for nothing Today when the nation needs all its resource*, the same men who have lieen blocking reasonable water power legislation own and are hold ing millions of water horsepower undeveloped and out of use while clamoring for more. Tlx* time has come when such obstruction threatens the nation’s safety and success. We need th«* development of these powers in war even more than in peace. At the coming session of congress sound waterpower legislation should be IT^RJS t Î f ÎÊ d I 0 Í We JJmit It 0 Unscrupulous patent medi cine manufacturers are advancing their price« un necessarily. Especially is thia true of the heavy advertisers. Former 50c articles are now 60c. and SI articles SI.15 or SI.25. Do you feel inclined to en trust the prroarations of a company s>> quick to take advantage of you in this matter of price advance ment? Can you believe that they are treating you fair. The fact that many of the advance prices are unnecessary is bom out by the fact that two of the most reliable companies are maintaining old prices The Rexall Co. and the Nyal Co. still sell their 50 cent articles at 50c and their SI articles at SI. Beat the "advancers” at their game an<i trust the preparations or a company with an honest business policy.
