BIG PROFIT SOMEWHERE IN ELECTRIC CURRENT Costs Seven-Tenths of a Cent at City Limits. Electric current delivered to the city limit* of Atlanta for (even-tenth* of a cent per kilowatt hour! That eound* llko a drentn to the peo ple who have been paying the Georgia Hallway and Electric Company any- Whcre from 7 cent* to 11 centa per kilo, watt hour. ' Seven-tenth* of a cent per kilowatt hour Is what It coet* the North Geor gia Electric Company to deliver this current to the city limit*. It I* not proposed t<> sell It to the people of Atlanta for that. That would allow no profit, ltut that Is what It costs the new concern. This company, of which considera ble bos been heard of late, has a con tract with the Atlanta Telephone and Telegraph Company whereby It Usee the poles and conduits of the latter to distribute Its electricity lo the people of Atlanta. Mr. Arkwright'. Statement President Arkwright, of the Georgia nailway and Electrlo Company, holds out little hope of lower rates for lights. Ho has been asked by the council to gubmlt bids for lighting after May 1 of next year. In reply to a question re garding these bids, Ur. Arkwright Is quoted os saying that the present price for arc lights. 170 a year, Is low enough, though he will take the whole matter under consideration. President Warner, of the North Oeorgla Electric Compnny, made tho following statement to The Georgian: •;A11 rumors to the effect that our company Is lo be consolidated with any other are false and without the slight est foundation. Our lines are at the city limits, with 4,000-horse power ready. 1 regrot that we are not pre pared to give servlco to the Atlanta public at once, as our lines Inside the city arc not completed." General Warner made no statement regarding his proposed hid to the elty lor lights and current, but it has been understood that It would bo materially lower than the present rate paid the old company. Both Wires In Conduits. A few days ago, before the commit tee of council. It was declared by the old company's representatives that the carrying of telephone and electrlo wires In the same conduit would not do. This is positively denied by expert* consulted ny the North Oeorgla Com pany. To pay tho Atlanta Telephone and Telegraph Company for the use of It* conduits and poles In distributing this electricity to the people of Atlanta, who nro now paying the old company from 7 to 11 cents per kilowatt hour, the North Georgia Compnny Is going to split profits. This Is what the Atlanta Telephone and Telegraph Company will get for the use of Its conduits and poles. The North Georgia Compnny frankly admits that It cost* to deliver the elec trlclty from Gainesville to Atlanta—53 miles—Just seven-tenth* of a cent per kilowatt hour, will ba profit. * IBpflt All received ovyr putting Profits. For alt over that price which Is re ceived from the people of Atlanta, the elephone company will receive 3-14ths for the use of Its pole* and conduit* while the North Georgia Company takes ll-14ths for Its share. When this new concern frankly ad mils that It cost* seven-tenth* of a cent per kilowatt hour to deliver the elec tricity to the city limits of Atlanta, the people can very readily figure out that It wouldn't take much more than that to moke n reasonable profit for the company. Whether or not the City of Oakland has the right to compel the Georgia Rnllway and Electric Company to put In two additional stops within the cor porate limits of that suburban commu nity, and the right to collect fines Int posed for violations, was before the *u . -prams court Wednesday for argument. Homo time ago Oakland City's city council passed an ordinance requiring the street rnllway to put In two addi tional stops. Tho company promptly Ignored the new law, whereupon Oak land City passed un ordinance making It a misdemeanor for the cars of the company to go past designated points when passengers wanted to get aboard. This was also Ignored, whereupon the town marshal was.lnstructed to pinch conductors and motormen. He did so with fervor until It began to tangle up trafilc In that direction. Then the Gror- gtn Railway and Electric Company ask' rd for an Injunction, which Judge Pen dleton denied. Upon this point It Is before the supreme court.

"The River,' 1 "Children of tho Mist," etc. Tho characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Uhl. Bldeford. North Devon, states: "For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner, but some 6 yean ago I found that It waa producing In digestion and heart'-bum. and was making mo restless at night. These symptoms wore followed by brain fag and a sluggish msntal condition. When 1 realised this, I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Poetum, 1 concluded to try It. I had It carefully made, accord ing to directions and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that 1 no longer suffered from either Indigestion, heart-burn, or brain fag. and that I could drink It at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. “Since that time we have, entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, a result due to Ppetum Food Coffee, I am satisfied. As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use It) that when properly made It Is most refresh ing and agreeable, pt delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance Is. however, nec. essary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are Ukely to neglect the thorough boiling which It must have In order to extract the good ness from the cereal."
