In order to comprise the best course
of treatment, and to secure the best
results, should read as follows:
B Hood’s Sarsaparilla—11 oz.
Peptiron—180 pills ^
Sig: One teaspoonful Hood’s Sar
saparilla before meals
Two Peptiron after meals
There is no better course of medi
cine for impure blood, run-down
condition and loss of appetite. These
two medicines working together
often give a four-fold benefit.

I
WATER POWERS IN
MAINE
Of the various methods employed by the advocates of
State ownership of water powers to bolster up their claims,
none is more persistently adhered to than the possible advan
taged he obtained by the application of electricity for heating
purposes.
In spite of"the fact that all scientists concur in the state
ment that heating by electricity from any source of power,
either by water power or steam, is impracticable on account of
the excessive cost, and in spite of the evidence of actual tests
of heating houses by electricity proving utter impracticability
on account of high cost; these advocates assert that somenow.
sometime inventors miy discover some new method by which
this desired end may be accomplished, i
These advocates would have the State develop water
powers in anticipation of this longed-for discovery.
But there is an impassable barrier in the way of this
utopian dream.
Hydraulic engineers already have perfected the efficiency
of water wheels to a point exceeding 90 per cent of their
possible power, and electrical engineers have perfected gener
tors to a point exceeding 90 per cent of possible efficiency.
This proves conclusively that some other method than the
development of water powers must be sought in order to heat
our houses by electricity,
On the other hand the utilization of the power contained
ip coal Has been developed only to the extent of 20 per cent
under most modern equipment used for power purposes. --
W ater powers, owing to the much greater initial cost for
development over steam plants, have in the possibilities of in
creased efficiency of coal a competitor to be feared, and this
fact is recognized by every intelligent owner of water powers.
Bo the people of the State of Maine wish to plunge the
State into the expenditure of unknown millions of dollars
without careful and thorough investigation?
