The installation of MiddletOwn's
two new 100-h. p. Oil-burning engines,
together with the alternatOrs, eXciters
etc, is nearing completion. The work
at the power plant is practically done.
The old engines have to be taken out
and the work turned over to the new
engines. The principal work yet to be
done before the alternating current
can be turned on is that of changing
the wiring on the houses and stores.
The new feed wires have been erected
in most parts of the town and that
part of the work will be soon com
pleted. Each house will have to have
a new meter installed. The rates for
the lighting will be reduced as soon
as the plant is finished. Patrons have
for some time been paying twenty
cents per kilowatt, and the town board
will reduce the price to fifteen cents
per kilowatt hour. 1t is expected that
the new rates will go into effect by
the first of January.

found it cOrroded by water conditions
to about one and a quarter inches,
which was cutting down the supply of
water and causing it to pump more
air than water After the three and
a half inch pipe had been renewed
they made a test and found a flow of
more than two hundred gallons per
minute, an increase of one hundred
and fifty gallons per minute. The old
pipe had not been drawn from the

AS has been explained in a previous
article, the family name of Strang is
in most cases but a developement Of
the descriptive use of the adjective
"strong" as surname by which to
distinguish a man from others bearing
the same given name.
1t does not always come from this
source, however. In a great many
cases, though not in the majority, the
family name is the outgrowth of a
given name which was found quite
frequently among the old Anglo
Saxons, the Danes and the Norweg1ans;
in fact, in one form or other among
virtually all the races of the northern
Teutons.

form Of these surnames was not ad-

the records of theHuguenot immi-
grants to England in the seventeenth
century as "Streing."

There is precious little in a wofn-
ans wardrobe that cannot be mace
of or adorned with velvet RIBBON.
For some reason or other there mas
always been something rather CO.
ouettjsh. distinctly feminine, in the
possibilities of black velvet ribbon
Encircling the neck of a pretty wom-
an. it adds many new charms. A
band of black velvet ribbon about a
well formed arm is frequently more
becoming than a bracelet OF precious
stones Black velvet streamers at the
back or side of hat lend much CO.
quctry
Every once in a while black velvet
ribbon enjoys a distinct vogue. Then
tons of yards of it are sold to the
one yard in ordinary times: dress
makers make use of it to trim frocks
and milliners study its possibilities in
trimming hats. 1t seems quite likely
that we are in for revival OF in
terest in black velvet ribbon at the
present time.
The black velvet scarf is distinctly
interesting. AS created in France. it
was made of IL or IL inch heavy
black velvet early three
yards being used. In some cases the
ribbon has a narrow edglng of white
satin. 1t may be given further ef-
shoulder with a large white mother
of-pearl flower and may be worn
with small hat of black velvet. like

of-pearl rose
Black velvet ribbon makes attrac-
tive banding for the high, straight
crowned felt hats of the season, or
it may be formed into interesting
loops and ends to trim a more ornate
type of hat. One wide -brimmed
black hat with loops and ends of
black velvet ribbon also has three
evenlength streamers at the back
of inch wide black velvet ribbon.
Two rosebuds at the end of one of
these streamers add further note
of coquetry. Since black and white
combinations have been carried over
from Summer to Autumn and are

Nutrition Nuggets.

Whenever there is weakness of
the heart ii is of paramount impor-
tance that the physician prescribe the
diet. In general. poison-forming foods
are discarded and great care is taken
to avoid distention of the stomach.
The food substances that have a
tendency TO increase the blood pres
sure are the animal foods. Those
which tend to decrease the pressure
are starchy foods, milk and fats.
Starch foods form one of the two
leading energyyielding foods. Ex-
periments have shown that when the
body is given an opportunity to
choose between fat and starch, if it
is confronted with a necessity for a
sudden increase in energy, it will
choose first starch and then the fats.
If no starch is in the diet there is a
definite disturbance of the bodily
processes.
Although the sweet potato plant is
not the same botanically as the
white or Irish potato. the part eaten
for food is very similar in compost
ton. The sweet potato has less water
than the white and little more
starch and sugar. II potatoes are
added to the diet chiefly to bring up
the mineral content or to neutralize
the acid of certain other foods the
white potato forms the best de-
pendent.
