La. e could not believe his eyes,

When they were both through and
Lakes shaking hand was signing the
agreement, HiIlard leaned back, and
his eyes went to hers, but hers drop
ped before the mute power in his,
and she did not look up. He went
on to tell Lake that the words he
spoke had ripped the mask from his
own life, and he had seen how useless
it was. He offered Lake the posi-

it over. Hillard agreed, and his voice
was kindly.
When Lake went out, she expected
Hilard to go, too, but she heard his

quickly. Beautiful specimens Of such

BALTIMORE PURIf|ES WATER
New Electric Sterilizing Plant In
stalled.

Baltimore is one of the first cities in
the United States to adopt the electri-
cal method for sterilizing the city
water supply.
Purifying water by means Of ozone
gas has been found to be quick and
efficient way, and for large quantities,
such as city supply, the saving of
space occupied by the plant and the
easy installation are in it's favor.
Ozone is powerful deodorizer and
purifier of either air of water. 1t
quickly unites with any dangerous or
ganic substance and reduces it to
harmless water or ash.
This Baltimore installation is one of
the first In this country, but ozone has
been extensively used for the steril-
ization of water supplied in Europe
for several years and with great sue
cess. Foremost among these installa-
tons may be mentioned the cities of
st. Petersburg, Paris, Chemnitz, Nice,
Madrid, Milan and Paberhorn. Extern
sive plants are also in operation in
other cities. ST. Petersburg will in
crease the size of it's plant at an ex-
penditure of $5,250,000. The advan-
tages of this method are obvious, par
ticularly in low cost of operation, sim
plicity and the total absence of poi
sonous residue or taste.

ELECTRIC AUTOS POPULAR
Popularity of These Vehicles In
creasing.

Ten years ago a man who owned an
electric vehicle was looked upon with
pity and was considered as having in
| his possession an expensive toy. To-
day the easiest way for a woman to
excite the envy of an entire commun-
ity is to purchase an electric coupe.
Ten years ago what few electric
trucks were in operation would hardly
propel themselves and their radius Of
activity was limited to a very few
miles. Today they carry loads of one,
three or five tons and make from 40 to
go miles per days, replacing several
pairs of horses. The economy of the
electric truck compels progressive
merchants to purchase them in lots Of
from ten to 100.
This wonderful advance in popular
ity is perfectly natural and is not due
to the glittering advertisements of
vendors of electric cars but to actual
performances. What car can compare
with the electric coupe in cleanliness,
comfort and simplicity? Not even the
newest of the self-starting gas cars,
where one has to push button or
two, throw a clutch, then adjust gaso-
line and spark and shift off.
Another great argument in favor of
electric transportation is found in the
fact that the cost of electricity has
during the past few years gradually
been reduced by successive stages
from 20 cents per kilowatt-hour, until
now large users are able to get their
electric energy for five cents, and in
some cases as low as three cents. Dur
ing this time the cost or gasoline has
steadily risen from fifteen cents gall
Ion to eighteen cents, stopping only a
few weeks at 20 cents and is now gen.
orally quoted at 25 cents, with a good
prospect Of still further rise in Price.

SEWING BY MOTOR POWER
Sewing Machine Work Made Easy With

The sewing machine will do prac-

sewer by hand can do, but it will not
run itself. TO get the very best SER
vice out of a sewing machine it is nee
essary to drive it by mechanical power
and for this purpose the tiny electric
motor has no equal. 1t is small, con-
venient, perfectly clean, and will run

cents worth of current.
Very few women are really clever
with the needle and not few find ii
difficult to do good work on the sew
ing machine when they have to pedal

task to keep the feet and hands EN-

and at best is tiresome. Nearly every

pendent of the dressmaker. Usually
she can devote but short part of tie

COST OF OPERATING DEVICES
Table Showing Low Costs of Operating
Electrical Appliances.

The following table compiled by the
National Electric Light Association,
serves to show how inexpensive the
operation of domestic heating and
cooking devices, which are now wide
ly used, really is. 1t must be under
stood that the cost will vary in differ
ent localities according to the rate
charged for electric current. The lib
eral rate of ten cents per kilowatt-
hour was used in computing this
table:
