WHAT WE EAT is intended to nour-
ish and sustain us, but it must be di-
gested and assimilated before it can do
this. La other words, the nourish-
ment contained in food must be sepa.
rated by the digestive organs from the
waste materials and must be carried by
the blood to all parts of the body. We
believe the reason for the great bene-
tit which 30 many people derive from
Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that
this medicine gives good digestion and
makes pure, rich blood. 1t restores
the functions of those organs which
convert food into nourishment that
gives strength to nerves and muscles.
1t also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt
rheum, boils, sores, pimples and erup.
tons, catarrh. rheumatism and all dis.
eases that have their origin in impure

RADICAL IMPROVEMENTS

The Consolidated Lighting Company has
completed its new transformer house on
Mortified street and has it equipped with
necessary apparatus, such az transformers,
switches, etc, 30 that electric current, be-.
ri ming with today, will be supplied to this
city from the Bolton Falls plant. The
transformers which have been used for
meIly at the Pioneer station for dissent
mating current in the city will now be used
to furnish power for operating the electric
road.
The large generator of $50 kilowatt capac.
ity, which was used at. the Viles plant for
furnishing power for the electric road, has
been secured and has been installed at the
Pioneer plant. 1t will be connected in
such way that 1t may be used as motor
to furnish power for operating the machine

thus simplifying the operation OF the sys EN-
and giving the customers OF the company
the benefit OF two sources OF power-water
and steam. When these arrangements are
fully completed, failure to give good service
will be practically impossible under any
conditions. This combining the two plants
under this system makes one OF the most
unique and resourceful electric light and
power plants In the country.
The general plans for this work were laid
out by the employees of the Consolidated
Company, and the details are being perfect
cd by two electrical engineers OF the Gem
eral Electric Company, Mr., Chase and Mr..
Clark OF Boston, who are now in the city
engaged in the work. They will remain
until the change is completed and in work
