IMPROVEMENTS At MILL

The cloud of smoke that used 10 rise
from near the Baltimore & Ohio cross
ing has been missing for several days
and yet the wheels are turning steadier,
surer and smoother than ever before at
Hoy & Woodson's grist mill. The
| change is due to the installation of a
little motor which has displaced the
cumbersome engine and boiler, and, if
you are interested in progress or in
power you should drop by this mill
and see this modern plant.
The motor is of the newest type and
is forty horse power Westinghouse
motor. At first glanceit seems to have
taken on mighty big responsibilities
for so small machine but it breezes
off with those heavy mills like running
is real pleasure.
With the coming on of warm wealth.
er it is luxury to be rid of such a
hot thing as boiler and when all the
cares and troubles of steam plant can
be avoided and money saved at the
same time, it makes the change from
steam to electricity inevitable.
The rates for power here in Staunton
are the lowest in Virginia and are very
little higher than the Southern Power
Company's rates for water power
electricity.
This is the second large installation
OF induction motors here in the last
month. The Western State Hospital
reoeatly installed four to dispIace
engines in the bake shop laundry and
carpenter shop. Both these installa-
tions have been very successful. Be-
sides these larger motors, there have
been number of smaller ones install
led, including one on an air compressor
at the Beverly Garage, one to operate
cake mixer at Barkman's, Zone to
grind meat and bones at Henderson, IS
and five horse power one to mix
bread at Singers.
The cleanliness, safety, certainly and
saving of the electric drive make it of
interest to all power users and a num-
Der OF Staunton business men are plan-
ming to make this change shortly.

METHODS FOR MIXING
FAT into DOUGH

The effect on quality Of mixing fat
into dough in different ways has been
studied by Miss M. U. Watson Of the
Ontario Agricultural college who
found in the case of biscuits in which
the shortening had been mixed in the
dough by rubbing or cutting into the
flour, and by also mixing in the
melted shortening, that equally good
results were obtained as regards out
ward appearance and the way the
dough had risen, but On breaking the
biscuits made with melted butter they
were found to be of inferior texture
and seemed very tough, while in the
biscuit in which the butter was rub
bed into the dough the texture was
much better, more spongy and quite
tender.

Attacks School Principal

A severe attack on school principal,
Chas. B. Allen of Sylvania, Ga, is
thus told by him. "For more than
three years." he writes, "I suffered in,
describable torture from rhenm atisn-
liver and stomach trouble and dis
eased kidneys. All remedies failed till
L used Electric Bitters, but four bot
ties of this wonderful remedy cured
me completely" Such results are
common. Thousands bless them for
curing stomach trouble, female COM

and for new health and vigor. Try
them. Only SOC at B. F. Hughes.

FINDING LIFE SWEET

To suffer and find life sweet,
10 struggle and still sing on
1t is under such hero feet
God sprinkles the rose at dawn.
To remember when ell is said,
To glory when all is done,
That back of the dreams long fled
There is something to still be won.
To take up the burden each day,
No matter how dreary the way,
And find it is good to be true
That. that is the way to do.
