THE ELECTRIC BUNGALOW

horse power General Electric generator The water enters the water wheel through a 1@-inch nozzle and develops more than six horsepower. The heavy pulley wheel takes the place of balance wheel and a small governor prevents any accidents.
 Current from the power-house is carried to the house, a quarter of mile away, over small copper wire strung on 20- foot poles. The residence and small log cabin, known as MT. Franklin's den, are lighted with a total of about 50 16-candle- power lamps. Another lighting circuit runs to the barn and out-buildings.
 In the basement at the house a three horsepower motor operates centrifugal pump, and with line shafting drives a washing machine, wringer, churn, cream separator, grindstone and circular saw
 It is not necessary to journey to the power house to start or stop the machin-. cry. Near the switchboard in the house is small crank attached to shaft run ming through the wall to the outside By system of pulleys this crank operates two long galvanized iron wires, running just beneath the transmission wire which open or close the water wheel gates as desired. An electric buzzer on the switch board tells when the gate-valve is tightly closed.
 The residence is beautifully lighted Lamps aggregating fully 900 candle-power make the rooms as cheerful and pretty

l as any city home. Elegant fixtures. har- monizing with the interior make one al- most forget that he Is living on farm. Outside the broad Verandas, with their pendant electric bulbs and lanterns, add
 to the charm of this country home. The farm laborers also share in the luxury of electric lighting. In their little cottage. which is apart from the residence, elec- trio lamps are provided for the bed rooms, and for the library where the men pass their evenings
 But lighting is only one use to which the power is put. Down in the basement the three-horse- power motor runs hor- izontal centrifugal pump, which lifts wa ter from an almost inexhaustioIe well to a reservoir dug in the hillside and con nected to the pump by Finch pipe -oo feet long. The reservoir has capacity of about 5000 gallons. and is placed 40 feet above the level of the pump, fur nishing kitchen. bathroom, and laundry with water at a good pressure. In the front yard there is hose connection with a hydrant which furnishes water for the lawn and also adds security to the home in case of fire
 In the kitchen electrical cooking and heating devices are literally employed. During warm summer days the electric stove is often connected to one of the lamp sockets on the veranda and the luncheon prepared in the cooling breeze of an electric fan, thus avoiding the use of the hot kitchen stove. The use of cleo tric flatirons also does away with the old stove formerly so necessary on ironing day.
 During the winter, when there is always sufficient water for continuous opera ton at full load, electric heaters are used instead of the small wood stoves which formerly kept a man busy most of the time.
 As all farm plants should be- this little electric plant is as nearly fool proof as was possible to make it. It requires prac- tically no attention, and the power house need not be visited more than once a week with a supply of oil, if as often as that.
 Every night in the year the plant car ries an average of % to 40 lights from dusk till midnight and after that time a lesser number. With the other services it performs during the day time the amount of electrical energy used on this farm, if valued at the rate of 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, would be worth more than s700 per year. When we consider the fact that the plant did not cost more l than S1500, which includes costly fixtures, the water works system and all appur- tenances, we find that it is paying a l handsome profit on the investment. But this is only one way of looking at it. The
 pleasures and conveniences it has added to farm life cannot be measured by dol
 lars and cents. It has added a charm to country life. such as no other investment of an equal amount could possibly have done.

A BAD BACK IS A BAD HANDICAP

Few of us can afford to be idle, and to those who work, sound. strong back is a necessity. A bad back prevents rest or sleep, and aches all day with dull, tired throb.
 Don't think because sharp twinges strike you when you lift, twist about, or reach, that your work Is too hard for you. Bad backs are common in every occupation. Those aches and twinges are orly natures warning that the kidneys need help.
 IL is easy to tell if the kidneys sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of Altering the blood. Backache is early warning. Headache dizzy spells, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the ankles and legs, nervousness irritabil- ity rheumatic pain and tired feelings also tell of kidney ills.
 Examine the urine. If it is extremely pale and light the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If it is dark col6red and thick passages too frequent or rtoo scanty, if there is any sediment deposited when 1t stands, if passages burn or pain, that is proof enough that the kidneys need attention.

BIRMINGHAM TESTIMONY.

Mrs. w. R. Rollings, 742 North Twenty first street, Birmingham. Ala. says T have not the least hesitancy in recom- mending Doans Kidney Pills as I have tried them and know that they are a re- liable kidney remedy. My trouble was due to weak kidneys. Bachache was the worst feature, although I was also both cred by the irregular action of the kidney secretions. Deans Kidney Pills, procured from E. B. Norton's drug store, gave me prompt relief and on occasions since then l have appealed to their use with the best of results. My advice to those suffering from kidney trouble is to give Doan's Kidney Pills trial"

No more than 30 miles east of Sacra- mento Cal, near the hamlet of ColfaX, MT Ellis Franklin owns a small farm. A little trout stream, rioting among the foothills and across the farm in a series of falls and rapids, en route to it's destina- ton in the Bear river, has been detained a little while at this farm, where it cheer fully dons the invisible mantle of electric ity and does most of the mechanical work about the premises, heats and lights the building and does the cooking, washing and ironing and numerous other small chores.
 This diminutiye trout stream, in times of high water, is a small torrent, but during the dry season it sinks to a few cubic inches a minute, so it was necessary to utilize an old miners ditch for a res ervoir to store up a supply of water against the dry months. A part of this old ditch.i dug by the early placer miners, was repaired to hold 100000 cubic feet of water A 6-inch riveted steel pipe, 445 feet in length, carries the water to the foot of the fall where the power house is located The little 2-foot water wheel in the power house works under a 75-foot head and is belted to 24o-volt, six

VENOMOUS FISH.
A Sting From the Little Weever Often
 Results In Much Pain.

From the Hospital.
 It is curious that while so much has been written in our language on snake bites there has been comparatively little placed on record concerning the stings of fshes
 Snake bites are rare in this country. but fish stings are very common, especially among fishermen and fishmongers. The fishes that most often sting are the great and little weevers. A prick on the hand or foot from weeyer causes much swell ing and inflammation.
 If the arm is affected the inflammation may spread to the shoulder the swell ing of the whole limb being enormous The pain Is agonizing, the patient often falling in to state of collapse or becom- ing delirious Usually the inflammation subsidies in about three days, followed by desquamation.

 For several minutes there was keen rivalry to see which song should predom- mate, the audience participating. The Americans present sang "The Star Span gled Banner and the Canadians the Brit ish national anthem. The American air won out, having the larger number of musicians.
 It is explained by the management that when the visitors were asked to play the national anthem no tune was stipulated. The Italian members evidently believed they were still under the American flag.

 The crows, motionless on the worm fence, gazed disconsolately at the snow- fields, the mud and the slush to which the wan gray light of the late winter af- ternoon lent an added dreariness.
