It Is in the interest of service. It
Is for the gwety of eenrioe. Electric

Make possible stttl better service.
A few fears ago no one knew how
to carry electric power over long djs
fences. Each town or city made its
own electricity for nearby -hstrlhu-
tion. Tiie Isolated municipal power
[plant came into existence and served
its day and served ft well—in the ab
sence of something better. But men
began to devote themselves to the
study of electicity and how to handle
ft The remit has been to perfect
means for the transmission of vast
stores of power from centralized sta
tions to where power 'was needed.
Economies of power manufacture
have been effected by these enprineers
—these men (not politicians) who
know the electric power business, to
such degree that the-operation of a
small, isolated plant has become un
profitable and unsatisfactory. Those
and like developments sounded the
death-knell of the municipal plant. It
was simply a natural evolution. The
resources at the command of the
large company gave it a tremendous 4
advantage over a single unit. The
public wanted a surety of service and
at a cost fehich only the larger com
panies could offer it.
Inter-connections, such »s are being
effected all aver the country, are
merely a pro ease of doubling and re
doubling the surety of service which
is the stock in trade of the power
companies. It means also an equality
of service. The little town of 1,000
inhabitants hundreds of miles distant
froar *■ immw vf~T>6wer today re
ceives the same quality of jgrvtee^en-
joyed in Charlotte, Raleigh, Charles
ton and Columbia. Further, with all
Ithe inter-connections that have been
made the coat' of electricity has con
sistently decreased. — -

Things You Should Know
INQUIRIES
Sometimes my readers write me,
asking about little things not made
clear in my letters to this paper—
I thank them for the indirect con
fidence—sometimes for criticisms
indulged. I cannot, of course, un
dertake the treatment of diseases
by mail; have all I can do at home;
but, a self-addressed, stamped en
velope will bring an' immediate
reply from me, in the Interest of
good newspaper service.
I have been asked recently what
foods are most likely to make a
. “lazy” live/worse. Sometimes a
lazy liver is an over-loaded, tired
liver, not a lazy one. Hence I reply
that, an overload of any kind of
food will aggravate an over-loaded
liveriMruits being the least harm
ful. The specific article of dirt
^bat I forbid, when dealing with
aa engorged liver is, atarch, in its\
many forms, such as boiled or
mashed potatoes, dry beans, white
bread, and the like. The liver func
tions largely as a starch-transform
er, and cannot do more than it is
able to do.
One writer remonstrates—that
fats work harm in “liver troubles”;
referring to animal fats, I suppose.
I have forbidden all meat-fats in
gall-bladder conditions Jbnt these
are not “liver-troubles. Fat meats
are not good in gall-bladder infec
tions; dairy fats, butter, cream &c.
in small quantity, do much less,
if any harm. And, the vegetable
oils, olive oil particularly .have a
reputation for being beneficial,
among the older clinicians.
Every liver case is a law unto
itselL and should be referred to the
family Wphysician, whether acute,
subacute, or chronic Especially
"Xfter forty-five should all suspicion
of liver disease be investigated. A
stitch in time may save several
yards of catgut.

preference—a Chevrolet for everybody, everywhere.
The development of this complete line of low-priced
modern quality cars is a notable achievement in fine
•ear building. It represents the result of 14 years* con
sistent improvement and endless testing on the
world’s greatest proving ground. It touches every cross
section of American life.
The family seeking an all-purpose automobile—those
women and men who. require personal cars of un
questioned smartness—-the business man who demands
combined economy, utility and fine appearance—
ownefs of high-priced automobiles who wish to enjoy
the advantages of additional transportation without
sacrifice of quality or prestige—
—all find in Chevrolet exactly the car that meets their
needs, at a price whose lowness reflects the economies
of gigantic production!

Labrador's Rocky Coast
...
(Frepered by the Netloael Oeographle
Society, WeeMnyton, D. C.)
L ABRADOR hga suddenly grown
to twice its g&nerally accepted
aize because of a decision of the
British privy council settiqg its
boundary far Inland from the Atlan
tic. Labrador haa always occupied a
seemingly anomalous position; it walls
Canada north of the St Lawrence
completely off from the Atlantic. Most
maps have shown this territorial bar
rier aa a very narrow strip along tbs
coast tor such was Canada’s claim.
By vlrtus of the recent dedalon-te-fa-
▼or of Newfoundland, however, Lab
rador extends 800 miles inland in the
south. It forms a rough triangle,
growing steadily narrower ,to the
north until the triangle’s apex la
reached at Cape Chldley, on Hudson
strait, - where the waters of Hudson
bay reach the Atlantic.
It comes as a distinct surprise to
most persons who turn their atten
tion newly to the geography of north
eastern America, that Canada and
Newfoundland are separate govern
mental units—aa distinct, for example,
as Jamaica and New Zealand.
Labrador Is best known along the
coast, and them It la truly a land of
sternal warring. Mvorywbere along Its
coast line great teas ceaselessly
pound as with the hammer of Thor
Into Its adamantine aides. The almost
resistless Arctic Ice-flow growls and
groans as It crushes, cleaves, and
smashes the very face of nature, white
the monster bergs outside, like omi
nous ice giants, roar and crash as they
vainly battle with their still more re-
alatleas enemy, the sntnmer sun.
Where In the more-sheltered spots
gentler nature strives to spread a cov
ering over the nakedness of the tend,
abysmal cold wavea battle with the
grow gnarled and knotty Ui the con
flict The few animals that in any
number can survive In Its wilds, are
especially endowed to reslat Its ap
parently never discouraged effort to
destroy the very -source of life.
Cached Supplies for Unfortunates.
As one approaches It from the At
lantic and passes Its high portals) the
cliffs of Belle tele, he spies a stout log
house perched high up on a barren
ledge clinging to the very face of the
cliff. Suggestive sight: it contains
cached the necessities of life against
the Inevitable day when acme poor
royagera shall find themselves audden-
i savage ctemency.

contrasts that those who love it at
least may be forgiven for thinking It
the borders of fairyland.
It is indeed a fine set of people It
has produced, for one may count
as Labradorians the thousands <ff men
and women from Newfoundland who
every year go to wrest a living from
its reluctant grasp.
Sea love, self-reliance, and optimism
are the three strongest traits of char
acter developed in these people, with
rather more than the ordinary amount
of fatalism. There la no doubt the peo
ple are tough—tough aa their oWa
sharks, they say, which will come to a
bait made of their own liver, or con
tinue to eat after being disemboweled.
Can Support Good Population.
- Observers declare that Labrador can
maintain a good population, but at
present little capital has been Invested
there, except In fishery and furrlfex
Neither of these- Industries do "prac
tically anything' to enrich the country,
seeing that almost overy fish caught
and every fur collected leaves the
’coast as It Is, and la turned Ihte
money elsewhere.
, —CotLylmon. and trout are exploited
rathertnan fished. Rivera hava been
barred with nets for years. The Indis
criminate use of cod traps wjth small
mesh leaders destroy every year thou
sands of salmoa-peal seeking the riv
ers, and. In the opinion of every one.
Injure very seriously the cod fishery
itself by almost entirely preventing
the great shoals coming Inshore to
feed.
* Whaling la practically*a thing of the
past off Labrador. For home consump
tion, seals are valuable, their skins
and fata forming a marketable com
modity of no mean value. When seals
‘'strike In’’ plentifully It la the easiest
way In the world to get rich, for 4t
tenacious plants and scrubs which. conje t0 on^'g *ioor
Viewed, aa those who frequent It
mostly view It, from the sea, one
would think Its sole harVest vjps the
countless Ice-borne erratics that crowd
every hillside and crown every sky
line, Just where other countries would
be flaunting flowers, fruits and trees.
In the realms of human life also
the same stern conditions maintain.
Life la truly a battle In Labrador, and
Its conditions are responsible for a
white race whose members are aa re
markable for their adaptability to live
under the very hardest of physical
conditions as the native Eskimo they
are steadily replacing. These little
Arctic natives can withstand anything
except civilized man.
But Labrador, beyond being a place
of war, Is a land of contrasts—a land
vVhere extremes meet—and where no
man dleth from monotony of physical
circumstances. Scarcely a stone’s
throw from this ceaseless strife one
finds onself in a land almost of •op
pressive silence—a country so utterly
devoid of the busy hum of human life
that the dominant Idea forced upon
one Is, “Can I be certain I shall ever
again get back to the haunts of mao?”
while visions of the uncertain oppor-
tunltles for communication with the
world outside rise unbidden to the
mind.
Soon, however, memories of its gen
erous spaces. Its glorious fiords, ita
keen, bracing air, ita call for resource
fulness, its rich .sea harvest, ita noble
rivers and plent^us salmon, Ita wily,
silent animals with their priceless
skin*, its countless deer herds come
back to cheer one. Ita splendid ever
greens, Ita gorgeous mosses, the car
pet bedding of its brilliant llchena all

and -drown themselves in hla nets

Labrador* seals ar«X*real seals, and
not the fur-bearing “Otarldae” of the
Pacific. The largest, the hoods, are of
Immense size and height, and by no
means to be carelessly approached
when with their young. They will then
■how fight very readily, and many a
poor old ball has come to his death
from a rifle Just to enable the mur
derer to steal the pelt of hla baby
that he waa de/ending, his own body
being left, after all, aa being too heavy
to take. ■
Excellent as their skins are always
for Bleeping bags, canoes, tents, har
nesses. etc.: for ciothlngTh cold weath
er they cannot touch the cured cari
bou hide. In miW weather the seal
sides are, aa might be expected, ranch
more water-tight, except when tanned.
The soft chamola-llke, cleaned akin
of the deer makes clothing- Impene
trable to wind and weather, while the
gloves and moccasins, being soft and
mobile, are far- warmer than the
Labrador seal.
There are vegetable as well as ani
mal resources In Labrador. The red
partridge berry or small cranberry, the
blue hertz or bilberry, the yellow bake-
apple or cloud-berry, the purple marsh-
berry, with the red currant, the rasp
berry, and gooseberry, are all abun
dant, all easily preserved, and all grow
without any effort on thp part of the
natives to sow, cultivate, or in any
way Improve them.
Of cultivated vegetables in Labrador
the success depends oh the better,
natural or artiflcicL get frotq
summer froete. In the bottoms of
bays, carrots, peas, potatoes, lettuce,
radishes, beets, etc., all grow In tbs'
open well.
The Immense future that lies be
fore pulping In" Labrador la evident
from the.succeaa attending Lord North-
dlffe’s great venture In Newfound
land, and by the fact that every acre
of sea and land from the Straits to
Hudson bay has been applied for
ahead,' If not granted, for thia very
purpose.
The incalculable energy of the
countless falls. Including the Grand
falla of the Hamilton river, probably
the third largest in the world, and
second only to the Victoria falla In
height, la an aaaet which the future
will be unable to overestimate. Now

verge of a synthesis of atoms, and
a new world seems ready for con
