AN ENEMY OF YOU i
Lack Of Blood During Years Of
Growth Lays Foundation
for Much Ill Health.

Youth is the time to lay the founda-
ton for health. Every boy and girl
should have plenty of pure, red blood
and strong nerves. With thin, impure
blood, they start life with handicap
too great to win success and happiness.
Pure, red blood means healthful growth,
strong nerves, a clear brain and good
digestion. In word pure blood is the
foundation of health
The pale, irritable boy or girl, who
has no appetite or ambition, is sleep
less, always tired out, melancholy,
short of breath and who does not grow
strong, is the victim OF bloodlessness,
the greatest enemy of youth.
There is just one thing to do for these
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. You can't afford to experiment
with unproven remedies. Through
neglect or wrong treatment anemia
gradually develops into the pernicious
form which is incurable. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills work directly on the
blood, cleansing it and giving it just
the elements which it lacks. As the
pare blood goes everywhere, the entire
body, every nerve, muscle and tissue,
shares in the health-giying properties
of the pills.
Miss Ellen Maths, of No. 232 West
Fifth South street, Salt Lake City, Utah,
relates her experience gladly yin the hope
that others will be helped. She says:

Ready to serve Farms.

The Hydro Electric Commission is
now ready to serve the farmers, Mr.
Beck told his audience. He thought
that the members of the community
in Toronto township should be the
first to show the rest of the Province
the way in RELOCATING old-time
methods.
The cost is not fixed as the system
planned is cooperative. declared Mr..
Beck, The more users secured for
a station, the lower will be the cost
all around.
"The engineers of the commission
have decided, after months of study
that $4,000 would cover the capital
cost involved in erecting one distrib-
uting station and for the wiring
which would supply farms for eight
miles in each direction. Allowing ten
per cent for maintenance, interest
and sinking fund, the farmers Of the
township will have to shoulder an
annual charge of approximately
s5,000," he explained.

not use all his allotment of power.
He told them bluntly that the matter
was in their own hands for the de-
velopment of the scheme. No pro-
gress could be made at all unless the
farmers showed willingness to take
up the governments proposition.
All during the afternoon Mr. Beck
worked like a Trojan, operating some
of the machinery himself and rushing
around here, there and everywhere
to explain points of difficulty which
arose in the minds of the visitors.

Three Hundred customers.

About three hundred farmers have
already expressed their readiness to
take power from the Hydro-Electric
Commission through the Township
Council said Mr.. Beck. But say
that we get Just $50. That would
mean a charge of about $40 yearly
for each farmer. The power will
cost at We central station about $50
a horsepower am sure that in an
other year 1t will cost only S25. But
allowing $50, and say the farmer
takes two horsepower. that will
mean SEQ, which, together with the
first charge of 500. will mean an an
nual cost Of power of $50 For that
amount the farmer will be able to do
practically all his work except
threshing. He will be able to chop
his grain milk his cows, in fact, do
all the work of the dairy. The two
horsepower will pump the water and
saw the wood. and his wife can use
it to do all her cooking, ironing, etc
Then that power will light his house
and barns"

Electricity on the Farm.


TORONTO, Aug. 29.--An event
which marked another step in the
electrical captivation of the Province,
took place yesterday on the farm OF
Mr.. j. w. Might, in Toronto town
ship. The epoch-making incident was
a demonstration, under the personal
direction of Hon. Adam Beck, of the
various uses to which Hydro power
can be put on the farm to aid the
tiller of the soil in obtaining the re-
suits which now require labor vast
ing methods.
Some four score farmers assembled
for the test, which included the oper-
alton of the threhser, the milking of
COW and separation of the milk
afterwards and electric cooking. Be
fore giving the demonstration, Mr..
Beck gathered the visitors about him
1 for a heart to heart talk in which he
told them, in general terms, of e
possibilities of electricity for farm
4 work. how it would tighten their bur
dens, and. in fact, how it would make
them mechanics instead of mere hus
bandmen. He showed that the farm
ers of Switzerland and Germany, in
large numbers, were adopting tbs
electric current for the ordinary farm
duties, and then proceeded to explain
how the Hydro-Electric Commission
/ after year of planning. had made
/ arrangements to tap the wires for the
| farmers at small cost to the latter,
giving figures that showed how the
European land tillers were already
making general use Of electricity at
much greater expense than would
be necessary in this province, because
the Hydro system was government
owned.
