There is a simple way to outwft these

ture, buy for beauty a1atfuttrttN not for

Names can be forged. age can be aftnn-

possessions in themselves, no matter

True, this rule requires the buyer to
study pictures and furniture until he

by fashion, like those who dwell In
less favored lands.

was usually magnificent and often
very hot Yet Phalerum, perhaps halt
an hour by train from Constitution

away, when a still more numerous
flock Of rocks swooped down and at
tackled the gulls The rocks, being
about two to each gull, tapped and
rushed the gulls until they withdrew
to a field some distance off. The VIC
torious rocks then proceeded to enjoy
themselves in the field. having FIRST set
what were apparently sentries along

wanted it.-Chicago News.

INSTALLING REFRIGERATION PLANT
Important Changes Being Made Swift Go. Building Increased Storage Permitted-Other Activity Among Contractors

Ice will no longer be a factor in the refrigeration of the local plant of Swift & Company. for a force of men is at work installing a new ammonia. direct expansion equipment which will make possible a uniform temperature at a uniform cost of operation the year round. The company is install ing these systems in it's houses all over the country. The change was mace advisable by the high price and small quantity of ice this year and by the many superior features of the new system
 One of the valuable features of the new refrigeration system lies in the big saving of space. the change being such that there will be twice as much storage room as formerly. al increase in space much appreciated on account of the demands of growing business. The new system will be much cleaner of operation and will do away with the frequent filings of the refriCera- tor. The desired temperature can ai- ways be obtained hereafter and the refrigerator will be kept at about B degrees.
 The new equipment will be complet ed about April 22. It was expected to have the Worh done py the la.7t Of the week but delays in procuring the materials have set the WorkInen back. As yet the pumps and the piping are the only parts on hand. The cement foundation for the machines in the cellar has been completed. On the
Norwich bulletin., 1913-04-10

roof is located the condenser, with a series of pipe coils set in wooden fram eWOrk, which is very noticeable from the rear of the building. The ammonia is compressed in the base ment to about 15O pounds pressure and passes through the coils of pipes in the refrigerator to the roof where 1t is condensed and returns to the base menr, the process being repeated. The ammonia passing through the pipes extracts the heat from the at mosphere and by regulation of the pressure any desired temperature can be secured. The ammonia is purchased in long tanks.
 The beef refrigerator is located on the main floor of the building with the refrigerating room above it. Flues on each side of the beef room carry the warm air into the upper room where it is cooled and returns to the lower room through long aperature in the middle of the floor which di- Vides them. The storage rooms for butter, eggs. etc, are on the second floor, with the refrigerating room and are cooled by a series of pipe coils which pass through them. The am- mcnia enters the @h inch pipes at about l5o hounds pressure and when t reac cheS the condenser is a a press are of aboct Is pounds. Practically the only machinery to the equipment is the pumping system, and the motor which operates the pumps.
