Electric Lighting Of Cars,

The first passenger car fitted with the
"axle electric light" has made the trip
from Chicago to Los Angeles, and ar
rived in perfect order The National
Electric Lighting Company has a con-
tract with the Santa Fe to equip fifty
cars with the light, and the Santa Fe
company has an option on 15O more.
Thesystem that has been adopted by the
Santa Fe is the best that has been tested
so far, and after a years trial on car
in constant use 1t has proven a decided
success. The electricity is furnished by
an iron-clad generator carried on the
end sill of the car truck and is built to
withstand the hardest service and all
kinds and conditions Of weather. The
generator Is run by a camels hair belt
run from the axle to the truck to the
pulley on the generator. In order to
overcome the irregular movements OF
the axle the belt that drives the gem
orator has interposed spring cushion
idler. There are two batteries of sixteen
cells each placed underneath the center
of the car for the purpose of storing
electricity for the use Of the lights when
the car Is not in motion. When the
lights are in use but one battery is be-
ing used and the other Is being charged.
One battery will carry the eighteen
lights Of sixteen candle power for eight
hours The different cars have differ
ent number of lights, but the average
is eighteen. The lights can be burned at
full force, or they can be dimmed so
they are barely red. The rule is to dim
them only when the occupants Of the
car are asleep. The electric lights are
much steadier than the old oil lamps,
and besides furnishing more light they
afford better reading light, as they are
placed on the sides of the car above and
nearly over the center Of the seats.

The trouble with most Of the so-called
dyspepsia cures, is that they don't cure.
They give only temporary relief. Indi-
gestion usually extends all through the
digestive tract, from the stomach clear
down to the large intestine; the liver,
too, is frequently involved in the trouble,
being torpid and inactive. For thor
ough, radical, permanent cure you must
have the whole digestive organism set
right-not violently stirred up, but reg
ulated. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
will do it. They stimulate the digestive
juices Of the stomach; invigorate the
liver and help it to actively secrete the
bile; and act gently on the bowels to
promote a regular healthy movement.
This means a complete and lasting cure
Of digestive troubles.
