i T “THE MUNICIPAL POWER PLANTS Good Judgment Requisite In Selecting Equipment, SUPPLY ELEGTRIG GURRENT Current Is Generated Chiefly by Steam, 0il, Gas or Water: Power—Ot These Methods Steam Is Most Widely Used — Local Conditions Determine Best Source. Municipal ownership of public utili- ties is becoming more and more gener- al in the United States, and a large number of cities already have their own power plants, which is, of course, one of the most important mwembers ot | a group of public utilities. Such plants are used for furnishing electric current for city traction, street and municipal building lighting and power purposes, while in the cases of many cities current is sold to private consumers, Mupicipal power plaunts should be de- signed to supply the current required under existing conditions and tw be capable of ready estension when made necessary by subsequent demands tor additional current, but at the same time, in order to insure tinanciaily successtul results, great care should be taken not to make the plant larger than necessary, since interest and sink- MUNICIPAL POWER PLANT AT TIVOLL ITALY, WHICH SUPPLIES ROME, TWENTY MILES DISTANT ing fund charges on idle equipment or on too large an equipment will make the city’s current unduly expensive. In the selection of the equipment also the greatest judgment is requisite, since the most expensive equipment is by no means nec ¥ productive of the most etlicient results. In the designing of a plant advan tage must be taken of the latest ad vances in engineering, and especially 8o in order to obtain the greatest de- gree of economy in operation. Electric current for municipal pur- poses is generated chiefly by steam, oil, gas or water power. Of the four methods steam is the most widely in use, but local conditions are the de- termining factor in the selection of the best source. A city, for esample, in which coal is espensive and in which a water power is at hand will, of course, choose a water power plant unless the overbead charges will out weigh the advantages of the water power. The current if used for lighting only should be converted from alternating into direct, and, while this is a some- what more expensive system, it gives steadier light than if such conversion is not made. If the current is used si- multaneously for local and suburban railway systems. in order to avoid the instaliation of different kinds of ap- paratus, alternating current is also used for lighting, but in such case the eyele chosen should be not less than twenty-tive per second In order that fluctuations of the light may be avoided. While fifteen cycles per second is con sidered desirable for traction and sisty cycles for lighting, yet when the cur- rent is needed for both purposes medium vumber should be chosen. Some cities have a cycle frequency of thirty-two and one half and forty two. Within the past few years many plants are utilizing the exhaust steam from the engines for steam heating of bnildings in entire districts in winter and for icemaking in summer, the ice being sold to the public at a lower price than it could be sold by other producers. Thus the plant is made much more profitable. It will be seen that no little technical experience is required in selecting the best form of equipment for any par- tleular installation. owing to the vari ons conditions to be met. Mang cities are fortunately in posi tion to take advantage of water pow ‘ers, but in order suce ully to athize snch powers it Is neve: to give the subject an eshaustive preliminary study and investigation to ascertain particularly the volume of water which may be available during the whole year. Thorough investigation should also. be made as regards (he financial aspect of the development.

Mrs. Mary McCullum of Baker, KEEP URIC ACID OUT OF JOINTS Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and Take Salts, Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a “direct result of cating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from thie blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of irecing the blood of this impurity. In_ damp and' chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating ‘and circulat- ing through thie System, eventually set- tling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu- matism, t At the first twinge of rheumatism get” from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- ful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is_snidhgo eliminate uric acid stimulating the kidneys to. normal ac- tion, thus ridding the blood of these impurities, . Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and ! is used with excellent results by thou- sands of folks who are subject fo rheu- matism.
