So off we started on our horses

AS we approached the ocean,

looked where the boy pointed
and couldn't help feeling disap-

the news as gently as 1 could:
''They are not seals, although
the things you see do look exactly
like their noses sticking up out
Of the water"

Bobby insisted

Yom teeth are coated with q
Aim ~ that viscous film you feel.
Much Of It resists the tooth brush,

Soon that film disoolors, then
forms dingy coats. That is how
teeth lose their beauty.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid IN contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it. And they, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-

ing Well Modernizes Home

"The we'll is illustrated in Figure 1
The we'll is a Pinch pipe down depth
of about 60 feet. The opening of the
pipe is reduced to Ia inches for the
picture shown in the illustration. This
is only one of three flowing wells that
Mr.. Yates has on his farm. This one
is on lower ground than the others and
thus is capable of developing more
power. This well is within so feet OIL
the shore of Little Sank Lake. The
we'll develops a pressure of about 8.5
pounds per square inch when it is shut
off. This well is somewhat different
from many others. Many wells de-
velop very high pressure when shut
off and then the pressure drops rapid
~ as the water is permitted to flow.
This well develops pressure of about
six pounds when running the water
wheel.
''The water wheel and generator are
shown in Figure 2. A special gene
hator has since been secured for the
installation and requires much smal-
Ter belt pulley on the water wheel.
This is highly satisfactory and has
nearly twice the efficiency of the first
generator used. The upright pipe and
valve shown in the picture is used as
an outlet pipe for use when the water
to the water wheel is cut off. This
pipe is connected to an elbow just
above the edge of the picture and a
horizontal pipe is carried through the
side of the power house. The power
house and the jet of water from a
one-inch nozzle is shown in Figure 8.
The horizontal pipe affords a means
of measuring the water pressure
while the plant is under operation.
at might be assumed that the water
will freeze in this pipe above the globe
valve shown in Figure 2. We have
found, however, that small amount
of water can be allowed to pass
through this valve, and thus keep the
water from freezing without affecting
the water power.
'The switchboard and field rheostat
