To the a master genius f- the elec trical world the electrical interests of the United States will pay homage during the week of May 23, when Ed- Ison tdayt'willf be celebrated in St. Lonls. . " Representatives of a business which represents over $(5.000.000.000 'invest ment, will be gathered in St. Louis from all over the United States to at tend the twenty-fifth annual t-onven- tion of the National Electric Light :is Boclatlon, and one day will be set aside -'-in honor of Thomas A. Edison. In connection with the convention In St. Louis there will be a costly ex hibit athe Coliseum hall, designed to show thV advance of the last thirty years along lines opened by the in-, ventors, and this exhibition will prove that the greatest proportion of the work of progress In the electrical field is directly traceable to the intellect of Edison. Some 'Figures on the Industry. According td Frank W. Frueauff of New York, who is president of the as sociation, there are v now ubout 6.000 central electric lighting stations in the United. States..; Of' this number over 3.000 of 'the companies ' engaged l'i central station work" are also in Aie electrical supply business: a business that twenty-tive or thirty years ago could have been enumerated in two; - figures. -: " - .

Mr, Brush otfy tCleyeland, Professor Houston ana a lew others were engaged in tne series arc lighting business back In 1879,-but that was the only electric light service that the United States knew anything about, although in 1878 Edison s ex periments with an incandescent 'light-. jng problem were fi?st discussed in the newspapers. .Tbat TvaiK Drougni auoui an extraordinary fall in the price of gas shares. 4 "Edison made his first demonstra- tion at Menio Park' of his paper carbon lamp a year later., but not until the summer of 1S80 did these experimental lamps -find their, way outside or nis laboratory. In 1SS1 the newspapers were arguing the question as to wheth er the great inventor had succeeded iii subdividing the electric light or wheth er be was simply talking. "The alternating system came Into general use about lSSfi. and prior to that time Edison's three wire system was introduced, and the amount of copper necessary for the direct cur rent system was cut down about GO per cent. lending a grat impetus to the' electric lighting : business. Then establishments for Uhe sale of appa ratus commenced to appear over the United States. However, thirty years ago the only material In the electrical supply line sold wys for telegraphic and house bell work. Today the elec trical supply business is of national Importance. "In 1879 the first miniature electric -railway carrying passengers was put iii operation by Siemens & Halske at the Berlin exposition. ,ItN was merely an ex hibition plant, a rid not until two years later was commercial road put iii operation iu Europe, a mile and a half affair out side of Berliii." Frueauff believes that fhe exhibit at be Stl Louis convention, showing the various periods of development in the ',ele-'trivHl fi'ld. will be the most costly evr -h '.'' he upited States. 1 FASTING FOR- HEALTH. Experience. of Three Voung'Women In ' Garden City, N.-Y. After three days,: during, which they had only twenty glasses of water atld the juice of t wor oranges and one lem on, the three Garden City (X. Y.) young women" who started on Sunday night. May 8,' n a seven teen day fast for their health and to cure indigestion, in augurated a diet on .Thursday, May 12. calling for ope . glass of milk every hour. . ' .

Anna Tpwnsend and Miss Marion McKellar, her companions in the fast; "The unusual treatment has benefited us greatly, and I expect that in six months we will have attained tha re- rfi K " - L 1 5 .

' "The first morning I was quite dizzy when I arose, but V drank a glass of water, and it passed away. On the third day I walked a mile and a half to Hempstead. We are trying to avoid excitement and any strain on the nerves. 1 have slept like a child bel ter than in years. Miss Townsend was a little restless the first night. Our chief guide is how things affect us. If they agree with us we continue; if not we stop. If the milk doesn't agree with us we will take up a diet of boiled rice and prunes. "The way we came to do it is this: If vou don't feel full of energy or ambition, if everything is an effort for you. ' the doctors do little to help you. I think these feelings come from the fact that the body is full of poisons. Give nature a rest and let it repair the trouble.". The young women say they will stick to their plan and that a number of their friends intend to do the same if the results are satisfactory to them. Death of Mrs. D. H. Kilpatrick On Monday. May 11, the people of Vest Hendersonville were called upon to mourn because of the death of Mrs. Daniel Kilpatrick, a woman of great personal worth. 'Gall her not dead, though you found her a sleep, lying bo restful, so silent and white. Say she has lain down the cross, but, oh, call her not dead." , ' She was born in Henderson coun ty May 10, lSSl; and was married to Mr. ICilpatrick October 4? 1908. With this marriage began one of the happiest married lives ever granted to two of God's servants. Surely it can be truly said of her life she was a character in which the true, the beautiful and the good all shone as jewels, serving not only her Master but humanity as well, for wherever she learned of suffer ing, thero she was found when her health would permit: and we feel she deserved the summons, "Well done, thou good and faithful ser vant, enter.into the joys that await thee." Of her home life, only those who were so fortunate as to share her hospitality and call her friend can know of the sweet and tender ties that held her so endeared to every member of her devoted family. Home to her .was her kingdom, and she loved and lived to make it ide al, woman's sweetest and. noblest calling.' She joined Pleasant Hill Baptist church at the age of 13, and has been a consistent member. I can say I never knew a finer woman; she was a wise mother, a true and happy wife and a devoted christian. Just before she died she sang, 1 'There will be light at the beauti ful river," among stifled sobs and tearful ey.es, .which told of the ach ing hearts around her. To the heart-broken husband whose prop 'and comfort seems to nave , passed away, and to t the three loviwg little children, ' we would say , 'Look up, not 'down" : The source of comfort is above. He Who made the eye, shall He not see. He Who made the ear shall He not hear? and He Who made the hearts of ours, shall He not feel with: us? '', " : x .: ;:.-. She is gone.
