In Cost of Residence Lighting Beginning September L, 1912, this com­ pany will offer to its residence customers the privilege of using its service for lighting at the Maximum Demand Rate. Under this system electricity used for residence lighting will be fourteen and one-haif cents (14j^c) per kilowatt hour for the first thirty hours' use of the maximum number of kilowatt hours taken at any one time during the month. The rate charged for all remaining kilo­ watt hours will be eight cents (8c). :: A discount for prompt payment of one cent*per kilowatt hour on the custom­ er's total consumption of electricity will be allowed by the company on all bills paid at the proper office or agency within ten (10) days after their dates by him. :: :: :: :: Customers having installations of less than five kilowatts (that is, less than 100 lamps of fifty watts each) will have their maximum demand determined by fixed per centage of their installation. This rate will effect an average reduc­ tion in residential lighting bills of 15 percent. :: :: :: :: Public Service Co.

The seven wonders of the world Are nothing but a farce Until the list is headed by The salve that beats the cars. Bill's salve is gaining ground. Its cures are noised around. Its enemies try to give it a rub, As charter members of the Ananias club. The doctors hate Bill's salve, to a man; The druggists would its manufacture can: The veterinary swears till all is brown; The medicine show had to leave town. The undertaker views all this with alarm: The driver of the hearse does not care a dam. All this since Bill is owner of the charm That prolongs life and does no one any harm. Bill in this paper did agree To supply his friends with salve to Reduce a swelling in the head. But so far none has reached them yet. Our Uncle Bill slyly figured out That a big three cornered fight this fall Would cause a great big run On the salve that's made by Wm. Dunn. Use Roberts' Fly Oil, Best by test.
