IMPROvEMENTSAT MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT
Will DOUBLE CAPACITY OF INSTITUTION

Examination of the city light plant
of today, as compared with the city
light plant of one year ago, shows
differences so great as to make Ii
almost a different institution. CHIEF
among these differences is the install
lation of the new 5000 kilowatt steam
turbine generator, which will practi-
cally double the capacity of the plant.
The new machine will be placed In
the north end of the building. A con-
crete foundation already has been
prepared, and the condenser, which
takes care of the exhaust steam, al
ready is placed. The generator will
be in use in about six weeks, accord
ing to officials. 1t has been unloaded
from the cars, and is standing in the
yards ready to be moved into the
building
A speed of $500 revolutions per
minute will be maintained by the gen.
orator and turbine.
To Enable Repairs.
At the present time, three machines
are carrying the normal load at the
plant. They are generators of 400,
2, 900, and 1000 kilowatt capacity. An
other 500 kilowatt machine is used IL
cases of emergency. Because the
plant has been operating under great
er than capacity load for some time
past, several of the machines have
not been overhauled for months. AS
soon as the new generator is installed
opportunity will be afforded to tear

ed in fat enamels. There are tea and
breakfast sets and small pieces as
well. The ceramics are all painted in
original designs by Miss Whitridge

to match breakfast sets, hangings, and
so forth Place cards and table favors
will also be made, and miniatures will

Keep Looking Young
It's Easy-if You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets.

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no
need of having a saIlow complexion
dark rings under your eyes-pimples
"a bilious look in your face-dull
eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor
will tell you ninety per cent of all
sickness comes from inactive bowels
and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physi-
clan in Ohio, perfected vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil to act
on the liver and bowels, which he gave
to his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective They
bring about that natural buoyancy
which all should enjoy by toning up
the liver and clearing the system OF
impurities.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are
known by their olive color 15c and

down some of these machines and put
them in first class shape again
Automatic ash and coal conveyers
are two of the improvements put in
within the past year and they are
rapidly paying their way in reduced
expense for labor. On the east side of
the plant, running parallel with the
building. is set of cables, which drag
a steel bucket along the coal which
has been dumped there by the cars.
This bucket, travelling approximately
200 feet, dumps at one end of the
coal pile into hopper, and the coal
is fed from this hopper into an ele-
vator and crushing machine.
Fuel Is Weighed.
The elevator carries the coal to
the top of the building, above the
boilers, where it drops by gravity into
the hoppers for each power unit

Every pound of fuel that goes to heat
the Joilers is weightd, and a separate
account kept for each boiler. Approx
imately IS tons of coal are used each
day
That the coal conveyor is an efficient
innovation is seen in the fact that two
men now handle the work formerly
done by II. Inside, where the coal is
led from above instead of being SHOW
eled into the boilers, Is men in %
hours, or three men on each shift han
die the work formerly done by three
times that force.
The amount Of ash developed from
the coal burned, varies from five to
35 percent of the original weight.
Ashes, formerly dumped from the
CRATES by hand, and wheeled out, are
now dumped by steam into an ashpit
below the boilers, then carried out by

ITALIAN MERCHANTS
BEAT LUXURY TAXES

ROME.-Ingenious methods are in
vented here to avoid paying the lux
ury tax. The tailor approaches one
mysteriously when his suit is finished
and asks if he wishes to have a bill
when he pays for it. in which case
he will have to add $50 luxury tax.
If, however, you like to give me
5000 here and now, | will give you
the suit, and we will say no more
about making out a BILL" he adds.
A foreigner was buying some lace
in a Roman shop which cost $24, and,
to her surprise, the owner of the shop
said: Would you like me to make
you bill for $3.50 (the luxury tax
begins on articles over $4) and then
if you will give my little girl pres
ent of $50 that will make things right
Why should either of US pay money

obliged?"

Among the changes in the plant dur

Before, these pumps were scattered
over the building with the result that
they were hard to get at in case of
trouble. All have been collected and

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Trade Developments ofPast Week

General business conditions con-
tinue spotty, although on the
whole the factors making for i'm
provement are gaining strength.
The development OF better busi-
ness Is taking the direction OF
wider distribution of goods, rather
than an uplift in price, which many
have deemed a corollary of a gem
eral business revival.
Prices In some lines are strength
ening. that is. there is less DISPOSE
ton to sell below the prevailing
market in order to liquidate stocks
but actual advances are decidedly
few.
The experience OF raw silk. which
advanced steadily through March
and is now on the downward trend
toward levels established early In
the year, Is an example OF genera
price movements In those lines IN
which Improvement in the move
ment of goods has taken place.
Much the same thing has hap
pened in cotton goods. MONDAY
Converse & Co., OF New York. an
nounced a reduction of their Fruit
of the Loom" bleached muslin to
base price of 16 cents a yard. ~
is recalled that this fabric was
priced at II cents on January
and then advanced a half cent two
weeks later.
Other instances can be citeo'
showing that price advances at
this stage of the Reconstruction
period are exceedingly difficult TO
hold.
The May reports OF the various
Federal reserve banks show gem
eral tendency toward Improvement
In business throughout the couh-
try. Unemployment continues as
a factor in most districts and ousi-
ness is spotty, not only when Varr
Gus industries are compared. but
when comparisons are made De-
tween business concerns In tne
same lines of trade. On the whoie

further progress toward new nor
