ELECTRIC HEAT


electric News Service)
1t is not always necessary to burn
something to produce heat. However,
we have secured our heat by combus-
tion for so long that most of us be-
lieve that heat can be produced in no
other way. It. is hard to convince the
user of an electric flatiron, or even an
electric range, that nothing is burned
within the iron, that there is no fire
in the range. If you don't believe that
heat can be produced without fire and
combustion try rubbing coin briskly
on the carpet. In a few seconds the
coin will be too hot to hold. If you
rubbed it fast enough, and long
enough, it would set fire to the carpet.
When a coin is rubbed on the car
pet it is heated by friction. BY this
same process is heat produced in an
electric iron, or any other heating de-
vice. Only, in the case of electricity,
friction" is called by another name,
resistance" Electric heat is produced
| by the resistance" offered to the flow
of the current by special resistance
metal inserted in the circuit. The cur
rent flows easily and smoothly along
the copper wire leading into the cleo
trio iron. In the bottom of this iron is
inserted stamped leaf, or a grid of
resistance wire, through which the
| current must force it's way before it
can flow on to complete the circuit.
This wire resists the flow of current,
but there is pressure, or voltage,
enough to force it over the difficult
path. In overcoming this resistance
part of the electrical energy is
changed to heat energy and the resist
ance wire becomes quite hot.
AL wire offers more or less resist
ance to the flow of electricity. The
term, however, is usually applied only
to those wires possessing higher spe-
cihc resistance than copper wire. Sill.
yer has the lowest electrical resist
ance of all the metals, but as silver
is costly and as copper has put slight,
| ly greater resistance, 1t is copper wire
that is in commercial use, so all COM
PARSONS are made with reference to
copper. The function of resistance
wire is to offer resistance to the pas
sage of the electric current. This re-
sistance to the current causes the cleo
trical energy to become converted into
heat, and it is by the utilization of
this heating characteristic that resist.
ance wire finds so great use today
in the electrical trade.

GIRL KISSED sz1 SOLDIERS
(Clearfield, Pa, Cor. N. Y. Herald

(Cleartield, Pa, Cor. N. Y. Herald)
With patriotism and cheeks afiame,
Miss Mary Hainsey, 10 years old, and
one of the city's prettiest girls, kissed
97l soldier lads belonging to the Sixth
Infantry, Pennsylvania National Guard,
when the three sections of the train
on their way to the Mexican border
stopped here the other day. The regi-
ment, when it left Mt. Gretna, num-
bered 1,OS1 men; consequently 60 men,
through no fault OF their own, failed
to get kiss from Pennsylvania s
most thoroughly kissed maiden.
Daring fate, Miss Hainsey stood on
the platform of car of the third sec
tion until the train began moving. She
then jumped into the arms of Chief of
Police McHenry, who saved her from
injury The engine driver had spoiled
a clean score, and 60 soldiers contin-
ued on their way unkissed.

Governor Willis has been present
ed with details of his shortcomings as
- governor. Former Governor Cox
made the presentation speech before
q chautauqua audience of ten thou
sand, and Willis listened to it. Under
the rules of the meeting he was CIV
en- every opportunity to meet the
charges against him, and failed abso-
lntely. These charges will be the bas-
is of the campaign in Ohio this year.
They are substantiated by the facts in
the record of Frank B. Willis as gov
ernor, as his own books kept by his
own book-keepers will show. Steno-
graphic notes were made Of the
speech of former Governor Cox and
-Rll the people of Ohio will be given
the opportunity Of weighing the
words.
In brief Governor Willis was pitied
and made a joke of. His attributes
as a citizen and a man were set
forth, but his inefficency as COVER
nor and his practice of bad faith with
the people were set forth in scathing
terms. Failing to apologize for the
Little Red Book" falsity, for the un-
truth about the treasury deficit he al
legged, and for the charge of extrava-
Xance in an administration whose
cost he exceeded by million dollars;
and by silence acknowledging the fact
that he knows the untruths exist on
his campaign charges, Governor Will
lis can no longer fall back on the ex-
PLANTATION that he did not know what
he was talking about. He must rest
under the conviction of having delib-
erately used bad faith to gain office,
and of having Intentionally worked
fraud on the people

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful ?''
"Why do women write such letters 2"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
