IINCTABOUT WIRING-
Me
he unquestioned value of electricity in the home means that
tho plans for every new house should call for electric wiring' that will
carry all electric, appliances; with a sufficieht number of outlets, or
plugs, to snake convenient connections iti all parts of the buildin�.
However, the changing of wiring to permit the carrying of all
electric appliances is a simple matter, not a complicatedante, a'o many
people think. -
A previously installed home-Iighting system and the wiring for
it does not require changing in any way.
The only change of consequence occurs between the place where
the power company's wires are attached (usdally'at sonic point on the
house outside near the roof) and the meter in The basement. Between
these two points there should be a 3 -wire system of sufficient capac-
ity to amply provide for range and any additional appliance that
may be installed later, and with appropriate cut-outs, or switches, and
correct fuses, This done by: a competent electrician and you are pre-
pared to carry all household appliances: in any ordinary house. Con-
necting this new wiring to your present lighting system is a matter
of minutes only, as is the matter of connecting the range ready for
cooking,
You do not have to payfor the new service wires running from
the poles in the street to your house.The power company Usually
furnishes and installs them.;
The only thing to make slue of before having the wiring changed
is this:—Is range or other'. extra'. service available at the moment' on
Your °street? Ask the power service company. In any event, wire
heavy 'enough, the difference in cost is neggligible..Electrie,range dis-
satisfaction is almost'unheard of,but in the very few eases :Where it
has existed the trouble is invriably traced to too light wiring.
There is no particular inconvenience caused by changing over wiring
to nertnit the carrying of electrical appliances.

again, but to:. bid farewell to Jim.
Ile was twenty-six years of age at

years ago. They started life ,to-
gether on farm n he a
a fan o t Mattl nci

six years. They knew ` something
about pioner life as her late husband

dred acre farm in Morris township, on
which they,: lived for, ,about eleven
years. After realizing a good price
afor their cleared' farm they move)
