ELECTRICITY SOLD BY
FEDERAL COVER INTENT
Furnished to Two Thriving
Towns in Idaho at Aston
ishingIy Low Rates.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The gov
eminent is selling electricity for heat
ing purposes at astonishingly low
rates in. the thriving idaho towns Of
Rupert aud Burley where three out
Of every four buildings and homes,
large and small, are being heated by
electricity. Current for 81 to SLIPS
per month per kilowatt Of capacity is
being supplied as by product from
the governments water power plant
installed by the reclamation service on
the Minidoka reclamation project. The
primary purpose Of the plant located
at the diversion dam on the Snake
river near Minidoka is to pump water
for the irrigation Of about 10000 acres
Of land too high to be covered by grav-
ity canals. The water has to be lifted
about seventy feet and to do this TO-
900 horsepower are required during
the summer irrigation season. In win
ter, however, the greater part Of this
power would be wasted were 1t not
for the development Of electric heat
ing and this accounts for the low
rates charged by the government for
power. The revenue from heating
would show loss il heating were the
only purpose Of the plant. Sold as a
by-product from an installation re-
quired for other purposes, electric
heat is helping to carry the cost Of
operation as we'll as serving the cause
of conservation.
Rupert for year had been using
electricity in its high school housing
600 pupils for heating and ventilat'ng.
Burley has equipped new school for
1000 pupils with an elaborate and
thoroughly modern heating plant. Hot
water for the entire building is hea:-
ed electrically and the domestic sci
ence department has complete out
fit Of electric hot plates for use of
individual students as well as large
electric range. These facilities are

germs Of disease are frequently in
this manner conveyed from man to

Our grlppy subject starting out, IN
the morning can convey infection to
a great number of his sympathizlng
friends during the day. It is best to
avoid shaking hands as much as pos
sible when there exists an epidemic
Of grip or pneumonia. Never should
we sit down to the table to eat with
out first washing the hands.
IAN unclean mouth forms the very
best breeding place for germs. Heat,
moisture and particles Of food which
raedily decay smeared around the
gums. the tongue and the roof Of tho
mouth make favorable the growth Of
germs Of grip and pneumonia. Keep
the mouth clean. Employ the tooth
brush after each meal. Make use OF
some good tooth paste or powder.
Brush the upper teeth upward, thus
removing particles OF food. The tongue
and roof Of the mouth should be brush
ed as WE'LL Then gargle and remove
particles of food which may have
lodged in the throat Germs do not
flourish ON a clean surface Of mucous

ACIDS or sub-acid fruits taken at
the close of the NEAL" were also adj
vised. 1.-THE acids found in fruit" said
DR.. Kress are destructive to germs
Of disease. One part OF grape juice
in hundred parts Of water Is sufficient
to destroy typhoid fever germs in
four or five minutes. A half Of lemon
squeezed into a glass Of water con-
tanning cholera germs will destroy
them in ten or fifteen minutes. All
fruits possess acids which discourage
the growth of germs Of disease.
Cooks and those who handle food
in restaurants when having the grip
should be laid off for q week or two,
or until they have completely recoy-
cred. Cups, spoons, knives and forks
used In restaurants should not mere
ly be dipped into water and wiped of,
they should be boiled.
mot until these common sense pre-
cautions are taken will we be able to
stay these epidemics."

in Great Britain during the year 1914,
according to the report Of the chief

has Just been issued. This represents
a decrease of 532 fatalities over 1913.
Besides those killed there were 1867
900 persons injured in the mines and
laid up for a week or more, but this
was a decrease Of 1852 over 1913.
The number of persons employed in
the United Kingdom during 1914 was

Increasing Demand for Electric
Wires a Test of Our Prosperity
Commercial Barometer 0
Great Accuracy, Says Pres
ident of Gable Company.

There are thirty-seven manufacture
ers OF insulated wire In America, AMI
their output, despite their equipment
and twenty-four hour operation, can
not equal the demand for this import
ant electrical product.
Gross Income.
Mr.. Edwin w. Moore, president OF
the Electric Cable Company, In dis
cussing this situation, said yesterday,
THE gross income in the last year
of the electrical industry and service
must have totaled more than two and
one half billion dollars. This in
cludes central stations. electrical
railways, telegraph and telephone
service, electrical manufacturing and
the like.
This will give you some idea Of the
vast sum which is tied up in cleo
trical interests in this country. The
income from the lighting industry
alone last year was three hundred
and sixty million dollars. Electrical
railways, which are knitting the
country more closely together than
ever before, had receipts Of seven
hundred million dollars. The tele-
graph and telephone service brought
in three hundred and fifty million
dollars.
Our interest as makers Of insu-
lated wire lies in the fact that every
watt Of electric current sooner or
later passes through an electrical
conductor. The electric locomotive
in the mine, the motor in the factory,
the electric heat iron. or your cleo
trio light-all reach to the source
of power generation through insu-
lated wire.
Demand for Electricity.
Naturally, we have kept in touch
with conditions throughout the coun-
try and we have found that the de-
mand for electricity, and, Of course,
for wire, has proved most accurate
measure of the country's recent COM
mercial expension. There can be no
important developments of building
operations without large demand
for insulated wire. Increased activ-
ity in mining operations is similarly
evidence. Manufacturing is. truning
to motor-drive as more efficient than
shaft-drive-a further demand for
insulated wire.
"There are two phases in which we
are interested-the industrial de-
mand for electricity and the demand
in the home. The latter Is just as
much a measure of prosperity as the
former. When times are good, the
housewife is in receptive mood for
the purchase of electrical devices, as
shortcuts to a number of house OPP
erations. When times are not good,
common sense in the matter may be
oyer-ruled by an illogical fear Of ex-
travagance and she may go: back to
costly Anticipated methods Of toast
ing bread, ironing, etc. The present
is pronouncely period of great &C
tfvity in the sale Of electrical house,

course, is required.

London.-The situation in Rumania
continues to be the focus of interest.
The forces Of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen have crossed the Danube
from the south and have gained a
footing on Rumanian soil. Bulgarian
troops have occupied islands in the
Danube near Orsova and at two other
points. Bucharest that the
German advance across the Danube
at Islacz and Zimnitza has been ar
rested.
Rumanian troops operating on the
extreme left of their line in Wallachia
have extricated themselves, according
to a Petrograd report. Rumanian
troops have retired on the left bank
OF the river Alt after repulsing sew
eral attacks along the whole front Of
that sector.
Berlin says the Rumanian resist
ance in the lower Alt has been broken
and that several towns in Rumania
have been captured.
Rumanian battalions cut off from
the main army in the wooded noun
tains northeast of Turnu-Severin were
still offering tenacious resistance at
latest accounts,
Russo-Rumanian armies in the Gy-
ergo mountains were repulsed with
heavy losses.
Vice Admiral du Fournet, the en-
tente commander, has delivered an ul-
timatum to Greece allowing only a
short period in which the arms in
Athens are to be surrendered. 1t is
reported that the Greek cabinet is
about to resign.
1t also is reported that the provi-
sional government of Greece, headed
by the former premier, V~enizelos, has
declared war on Bulgaria.
Violent fighting continues on the
Serbian front. Repeated attempts
by the entente allies between lakes
Ochrida and Presba were repulsed.
The Italian troops %endeavored to ad-
vance northwest of Monastir and the
Serbians east of that city, but failed.
A lull in the operations along the
front in France is attributed to bad
weather.
Large amount of wheat destroyed
by Rumanians in retreat along All

Bucharest.
With the armies of the Teutonic al
lies advancing toward it from the
west and southwest, Bucharest. the
capital of Rumania, is in peril. Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's troops have
crossed the Danube to Zimnitza and
are in touch near Alexandria, with the
