SUN SPOTS AID TO TREES.
French Scientist Declares Old Sol
Throws Out Greater Heat When
Phenomena Are at Maximum.

Paris.-Two scientific articles by Ca
mile F1ammarion and Able Moreau
appeared here on the influence of sun
spots on vegetation. For the last 20
years the former noted the date on
which the chestnut trees III the Ave
nue. de POberseryatoire have leafed and
bloomed, and from these records he
shows there is a remarkable correlation
between the spots and the vegetation,
tending to show that the sun throws
out more heat when the spots reach
their maximum. thus confirming Able
Moreau in the theory that the spots in
dictate a period of greatest solar activ-
ity. Moreau writes on the compara-
lively long duration OF the next solar
eclipse on August 80, which will be
specially visible in Canada.

there my system became thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When ! was

How did the ataxia begin?
"I first noticed a pain in my ankles
and knee joints. This was followed by
numb feeling in my legs. At times
had to drag myself around; my legs
would shake or become perfectly deas,
had constant trouble in getting about
in the dark. I kept a light burning In
my room at night as could not balance
myself in the darkness. Even with the
aid Of light I wobDled, and would
reach out and catch hold Of chairs to
prevent myself from fallingY"
chow long were you sufferer? ~
"Four years iii all. During the last
three years was confined to bed, some
times FOR q week, again for three OF -Four
weeks at time. When was lying
down the pain in my back was fire.
ouently SO severe that I had to be helped
up and put in chair to get a little rer
lief. I had considerable pain in my
bowels and no control over my kidneys.
The worst of all was that the doctor
could give me no hope of recovery.
"How were you cured?"
"I read that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills had cured 1ocomotor ataxia and
one OF two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1903 began to cake
them for myself and had not used
more than one box before found that
the pains in my knees and ankles wera
greatly relieved. Four months after
ward becamea perfectly well man, and
I am today enjoying the best OF health. "

DIR. Williams Pink Pills without delay,
Any druggist can supply them.

one inch long is made through the
ends of two strips on opposite sides
to provide ventilation The door is

In the center of the floor is cut a

nailed the radiating drum. This drum
is two-quart tin PAN through which
are spunched dozen holes with a big

The hover is two feet square and six
inches high, and edges lined with felt
slashed so that the chicks can easily
get under it. The felt comes to with

There is no cover to the brooder. A
frame one foot high and three feet

for them to go up and down.

the pan and the two soldered together.
Three or four small holes are punched
in the pie plate, to allow the heat and

burner soldered in. This lamp holds
oil enough to burn two or three days
without filling. In very cold weather
two lamps are placed under the
brooder.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
Sweet Candy Company Installs Be-
frigerating Plant in Local Fac
tory-Makes Better Product.

The Sweet Candy company have.
within the last two months, made
some very extensive improvements in
their factory, located on East First
South street These improvements
were brought about by reason of the
large increase in their business and
particularly to accommodate the in
creasing demand for their well known
brand of Carnation Chocolates.
These improvements consist of the in
Stalling of u refrigerating Aant of
twelve tons daily capacity to cool a
room which is thoroughly piped with
over 1000 feet of expansion pipe. In
this room all the chocolate dipping is
done.
The capacity Of the refrigerating ma
chine and the equipment is sEIfficient
to reduce the temperature in this room
to 40 degrees if necessary The room
is twenty-five feet wide and seventy
five feet long. thoroughly insulated
with walls eight inches in thickness
and is large enough to accommodate
Seventy-five employees. An average
temperature of % degrees is maintained
in this room regardless of what the
temperature may be on the Outsida
This equipment will be a great ad-
vantage in enabling the Sweet Candy
company to produce a much finer pro-
duct and at the same time double their
capacity.
l.
four large melting kettles have been
Installed for melting the chocolate
These are heated by steam and have
in addition an agitatOr, driven by DOW
er which keeps the chocolate constantly
in motion, and will enable the firm to
produce chocolates with a much finer
finish in the dipping room.
A new device has been installed for
keeping the chocolate cool during the
process of dipping. The device is an
electric cooling fan which has proven
very effective in large eastern fact
OTios.
The equipment just installed by the
Sweet Candy company is the only one
of its kind in a manufacturing confec-
tionery plant west of the Missouri riv-
er, and is certainly a progressive step
on. the part OF this mammoth estab-
lishment.
In the engine room is located the
compressor, a 6-ton Linde ice machine
This machine is driven by a 15-horse
power electric motor and is ample
enough TO take care. of all the require
ments for cooling their chocolate dip
ping room.
A noticeable feature about the factory
is the sir of cleanliness that is always
in evidence. all goods being manufac-
tured by the highest skilled Workmen.
who are in charge Of each depart
ment.
The Installation Of this equipment
speaks well for the progressive spirit
OF the management OF this company.
and Salt, Lake City today leads her
sister cities both east and west by rea-
son of having this modern and up-to-
date plant.
