Tt Is too nt-w to praotir.nl- ly demonstrated all that ts claimed for it in theory. In efficiency it ts about on an equality with the compound condensing engine. In the cost of maintenance It is claimed that it has an immense advantage in that tho number of wearing parts have been reduced to thf, minimum, there Is no reciprocating motion as there is in the common type of steam engine. JUST LIKE WATER TURBINE.

The steam turbine IB simply an application of the old water i Idea to stea.m. In the water a shaft is made to revolve by the Impact of a stream of water aguinst a set of blades. This principal has been elaborated and refined in tho design of the steam bine. Instead of blades of the water turbine there Is a cylinder In the periphery of which are crescent buckets. The steam Is dlswhargefl in three buckets where by both impact and expansion it does its work, causlr.R- the cylinder and the s'haft on which it is mounted to revolve.

He lived in tho place through three opidf mlcs of yellow fever. One epidemic was so severe that even tho doctors fled the place.

Throughout that he was mnvv, physician, minister and sexton. He wag never attacked by the disease himself and believes that he Is Immune.

To Insure the proper lubrication of this important bearing the oil is forced under It witli a pump. It only remains to be demonstrated by that the wear on this bearing can be reduced to i minimum.

You ahouM have had it long ago." course, I wanted it long ago, bur we could not afford to spend as riuch money as most tailors demand fo dress suits.

Since I learned of the sphndid suits made at a fair price by Malle, the $15.00 tailor, the problem vas solved. I am going to tell my fr about that tailor." I DO IT It is hard for men to realize that a really elegant Suit or Topcoat can be cut and tailored by hand, in the very latest fashion at the unusually low price of but I've demonstrated that it can be successfully and profitably done in other cities and it's being done with equal success right here in Decatur. I am doing it anyway and it's no concern of my customers whether I make or lose on the deal. Anyway they are getting the very best tailor values they aver got in their lives and they realize this when they see the goods and the finished product of my corps of experienced tailors. the deuce did you get such a nice looking and comfortable appearing business suit? have been unable to find one at a reasonable price that will fit, wear or look decent." evidently have net been reading the convincing ads of that $15.00 tailor, Paul L.
