The Spirit of
"Clean Up and Paint Up"
In a tenement district lived a family surrounded by filth ami
eiirt. The whole atmosphere of- the little room which they called
"home" was one ei hopeless depression anil squalor. To prove the
power of ugge.-tion, a good woman placed on the table a miniature
..talute of Venus of Milo. Against this grimy back-ground of dirt
and w retehedness, the Venus sbeuie e'Ut in all her whiteness and
purity, elevating ami frightening her strange urroumlings. The
good woman calb'd a week later anil found that the place had been
Weaned up. the dirt had been washed away and a pathetic but sin
cere attempt at decoration had been made' -the subtle influence
was effective.
If the home.-, m a iaughberhe; I feociru v.i'i.ihi r-hcatmi ami
-habby, values ia the v. hole r.eigbbarhoaei ucicriora.e. But if some
house-owner paints and beautifies hi? home, it ryeiiates its attract
iveness in every direction and seen the who! neighborhood is

ELECTRICITY ' .
EVERYBODY'S SERVANT
Developed to the Point Where Indivi
dual Lighting Plants Can be In
stalled on Farms Some of ; the
Things in Use in Country.
,
There was a time when light in' a
house was supplied by a flaring torch
supported by a bracket.on the wall;
when each man carried his own street
carried by men on horse or afoot;
when the quickest and most luxur
ious form of travel was the stage
coach, and- when nearly all werk. waa
done by hand.
Within the last few years a new
servant has annca :'eil to do all this
wei'l. and n:ue!i ir. i.e not niinWuK-l
above, 'ihe' name of this new ser
vant is "electricity." It lights our
houses with n bright, clean and safe
light; nor stii'e... are' lined with lamp

Ulght as ill the (lav time. If We
want to talk io liuiueoiie a hui.dr.d
liplcs away v, c use tho telephone eu
' the telegraph. Stree t cars, interur
bans, even railre ail trains, pulleel by
e lecirie ity, earry us further in an
hour than the stage could have done
in a day. And work, -- there' i
scureely a task which cannot be elone
by electricity, not only in the busi
ness ami manufacturing world, Jiut in
the; city and country home us well.
A few years ago electricity wa- the
servant of the few who lived in cit
ies. This was b'cause electric gen
erating maehimry was not in its
present improved state, and because
it was, ami still is for that matter,
very expensive to transmit electric
current over lemg distances, in eith
er wni'els people win) live close lo-
, gether in the comparativedv small ar--!
a MTVLtl ,. ., , , . ,. . -,,
, , . ea en the city can all be supplied with
current from one central statiem at a
reasonable cost, whereas it is em r
mously expensive to extend trans
mission lines five er ten miles into
the country in order to serve perhaps
fifteen or twenty customers in an ar
ea r.s large' a; that covered by the
city. And yet the' services of elect
ricity are laesie'i as much, if n
meire, on the farm, in the c-.a
home1, church,
ilhouse
as in the city.
! It is this neeei, and the practical
difficulties in the way of supplying it,
which turned man's inventive genius
toward a solution of
the problem.
