THE streets and business houses and
homes Of Charlotte, y. c., are lighted by
the power OF the Catawba, eighteen miles

city. at the Arlington last night. "The
water supply of Charlotte is pumped BY
the power OF the distant river. Charlotte
women cook and iron with heat furnished
from the harnessed Catawba. Charlotte
factories are run by the power which
comes over the copper wires from that
same river.
More than seventy cotton mills ara
now operated by electricity generated at
the four power plants on the Catawba,
all in South Carolina, continued Mr.
Butler. 1T is the largest development OF

towers, guarded by every electrical pro-

The advantages Of driving machinery
by electricity are not questioned. The
largest cotton mills IN the South use the
electric drive. making their own current
by the use Of steam power. 1t is known
that the Southern Power Company sells
its current for $50 a horsepower year.
The cost OF power in the plants run by
steam. or by electricity generated by
steam varies in every mill Many OF
them admit that their steam power costs
as much as So. Some say It costs more.
others less. Few. If any. manufacturers
claim that they can make power as
cheaply as they can get it from the
hydro-electric companies. Nevertheless,
many OF them, convinced OF the economy,
do not care TO throw away their present
steam equipment. and there are still a
few who do not look with favor on the
innovation"

HAIR REMOVERS
n Nre.-.
ARE DANGEROUS
Physicians Say: "Don't Use Poison
Gus DepiIatores."

The extravagant claims recently mad :
by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers of hair
removerS in sensational advertisements
unquestionably justify physicians in eau
tioning the public against the use of this
class of depiatories. How many people
have been enticed into using these dam
serOIS preparations with consequent in
jury to themselves, cannot be estimated
but ONLY guessed at. The prepare tons
above Inferred to are invariably in the
form OF creamy paStes, which are to be
spread upon the skin to remain until they
dry. These contain Sulphide of Barium,
an insouble chemical, which cannot be
dissolved. therefore cannot be absorbed
by the skin. The very fact that YOU are
told to leave these pasty compounds on
the skin until they dry and cake and then
lift off with a knife is proof positive that
they, are not absorbed If they. are. why
do they still remain on the skin? The
most they can possibly do is to remove
the surface hair. which in consequence
will reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There is only one logical and scientific
way to remove hair. and that is by means
of liquid containing soluble ingredients
which can be absorbed by the skin. De
Miracle. known all the world over as the
only real superfluous hair remover, is Just
quickly absorbed and after you have
used 1t you will note there is nothing left
on the skin 1t leaves the skin free from
irritation, and what is more to the point,
1t is absolutely non-poisonous therefore
. 1t Will not produce eczema or blood pois-
oninS. Remember, no matter what claims
are made to the contrary, no poisonous,
pasty compound or other worthless con-
/ coction can reach the hair root and we
( can prove it.
