steam, it is natural that a large amount of capital already invested in equipment, engine houses and other forms of physical property must be sacrificed. In addition it is neces- sary to maintain facilities and work ing forces for both types of service. The full economy of neither type may be realized, and, in fact, heavy ex- penses incident to the two kinds of service are retained. It is only when clusively that the highest stage of
 efficiency in economies may be real
 ized, but as there are more opportun- ities for instituting economies in elec- trtc operation, it may readily be seen that the further the New Haven cleo trifies it's system the nearer it will ap-
 proach the goal of minimum operat- ing expenses.
 The section from Stamford to New Haven is about forty miles in length. This entire system will obtain itA ! power from the present power house at Cos Cob. which in itself illustrates the foresight of the New Haven man agement. This means that the Cos Cob power house will generate cleo tricity to supply another section
 which is nearly twice long as the one from Wood1awn to Stamford. It Is estimated by the engineers of the
 Company that the Cos Cob power house will be capable of taking care
 of all normal traffic on the line as far as New Haven, but on days when special traffic is handled, steam will have to be resorted to on some trains on the Stamford to New Haven link. When the electri1cation is continued to New London or Hartford another power house will be erected to relieve the Cos Cob house of some of its heavy burden.
 The single phase system of electric traction is the most improved type known to engineers. It is being adopted by practically all tho great railroad systems in Europe that are installing electric power, and several systems in this country have recently announced their intention of adopting it. It has many and important feat
 ures that makes it more adaptable than the third rail or three phase sys- tenn Electric power may be gen

rated six of it's shorter branch lines by electricity for a number of years, dating back to 1895. When the Company decided to eIectrify its line from Woodlawn, where it uses the New York Central tracks into the Grand Central Terminal tracks in New York City, to Stamford, a dis tance of twenty-one miles, a care full investigation was made of the available means of transmitting and supplying electric power to the traiis. Every surface indication pointed to the adoption of the three phase con tinuous current system taking it's power from a third rail, as the New York Central had already determined upon this system and the New Haven was compelled to adopt some plan that would not conflict with the Cen tral's. W. s. Murray, the Company s engineer, however, recognizing the great importance of the decision in its far reaching effect upon future extension of electric service, recom- mended the single phase system as the most practical and efficient for the service to be performed. The 1n- al decision was based, therefore, upon the subject as a whole rather than upon the solution of terminal prob lem alone The single phase system the New York Central had adopted so the directors of the New Haven accepted the recommendations of the engineers.
 That this plan was a wise one is now beyond dispute. It has proven to be the most economical in the long run. As the New Haven took the lead in this type of electric traction, however, the engineers of the Com pany have found 1t necessary to make and invent many improvements over the original form of construction, and the success of the system in its in staIIatton and operation is due largely to the ingenuity and skill of these en- gineers Through their efforts the extensions of the system was m9de possible and the complete electrifica- ton of the New Haven Railroad has been made a possibility and not a dream.

The food experience of a physician in his own case when worn and weak from sickness and when needing nour- 1shTnent the worst way is valuable:
 An attack of grip so severe it came near making an end of rue left my stomach in such condition I could not retain any ordinary food. I knew of course, that I must have food nour- tshment or could never recover.
 'I began to take four teaspo onfu1s of Grape-Nuts and cream three times day and for two weeks this was a1 most my only food; it tasted so de- licious that I enjoyed it immensely and my stomach handled 1t perfectly from the first mouthful- It was so nourishing I was quickly built back to normal health and strength
