TRANSMISSION OF POWER.
The Value and Cost of Electrical
Means to Useful Purposes.
Milwaukee WISCONSIN,.


The predictions OF electrical experts as to the
trapsmssibility of electric currents for lighting
and power purposes have been received with
the credence that the utterances of men who
have accomplished things little short of the
ference between possibility and practicabiliry,
and unless 1t can be demonstrated that power
can be carried to factories from dynamOs AT
waterfalls more cheaply than 1t can be gener-
ated ana applied with steam boilers and ell
gneS the calculations of those who have been
figuring upon the utilization of the enormous
amount OF water-power going TO waste on uu-
used streams Will come 10 Daught.
In report from ChemnitZ as to the result
OF experiments in the transmission of cleo
trical currents from waterfalls in Switzerland
Consul Monaghan shows that the cost of cleo
trical power exceeds that OF steam power
Steam power in Switzerland costs S46 81 per
horse power uer anuum for so horsepower
$50 81 for 300 horse power and S25 81 for
500 horsepower. Electric power transmitted
five kilOmeters. or 3l,06S miles IN an air line
costs S57 6S for so horse power S31 27 for
300 horse power, and S24 4S for 500 horse
power. This is a showing contrary to the cal.
cula ions OF people VINO have permitted their
expectations To run wild.
Consul Monaghan says that Switzerland,
with its freshets, its uncertain water supply
and It's electrical storms. is hardly the pIac-
for experiment in the transmission of electric
power by wire from waterfalls, but the difficult.

exist.

MISTAKES.
A Very Vsxsd Subject Clearly Ex-
planned.
" IT INTERESTS YOU"
1t Is Most Surprising That Men and Women
Should Not Have Understood This Before,
built Is Fortunate That They Do Now.

'tIt Is surprising what mistakes even
some of the best people in the world
make"
The speaker was one of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known.
Take. for example, one Of the most
common things in the world, namely,
a cold. People speak of taking cold;
there Is really no such thing. A cold is a
symptom, an effect. not a cause. Did you
ever know an absolutely well ana healthy
person who took cold? never have, even
under the greatest exposure. Yes. indeed,
cold is symptom, not cause"
The gentlemen and ladies to whom the
doctor was speaking exchanged looks of
establishment, but they did not dispute the
words of the learned man.
You may be surprised" he continued.
when l tell you that nine-tenths of all
colds occur because those great organs of
the body, the kidneys. are out of order.
More men and women are troubled VITA
imperfect kidneys than with any other
known form of disease. The unfortunate
thing about it is that they DO not know
that this is their trouble. Why? Because
all difficulties. arrangements and diseases
of the kidneys are usually without any
pain in fact, without any symptoms what
l.
first, namely, that "a cold is a symptom
The looks of amazement which were
upon the faces of his hearers remained,
while the doctor continued:
'What say is true. II you have a cold
in the head, cough, pain in the muscles
OF joints, if you sneeZ5 or wheeZe, do not
try to doctor these symptoms. but go at
once to their cause, which is invariably
the kidneys. Use the best discovery of
modern times for these organs, which is
Warmers Safe Cure. Put your kidneys in
proper condition, and any cold, however
bad it may be. will disappear as if by
magic. Indeed" continued the doctor.
most deliberately ana earnestly, Il assert
that the grip, which has been so disastrous,
which has brought so much trouble into
the world, would never have had its run
if the kidneys of those who had suffered
from it had been in perfect condition
These great organs, ii unclogged, would
have thrown the disease from the system
so that the grip would have been I'M
known"
The doctors words. startling as they
may seem, were true, and the remedy OF
which he spoke is the only one known TO
the world f01 regulating the kidneys. No
class of people know or realize this better
than the medical profession, but thou
sands of men and women have learned it
to their own great advantage.
