CASTORIA For Infants and Childrea En Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Bfcnanire cfi DELCO LIGHT PLANT ON ENDURANCE TEST On March IS, 1917, Don Eng Co started a Delco-Light plant out on an endurance or life test. The plant up to and- including July 2.'3d, had operated a,0 4 0 hours. Figuring out the amount of run ning time, cost of fuel and the work accomplished gives us some very in teresting information. Comparing thie run with a motor car having .'JU-iych wheels and geared WVi to 1, running at. 27 miles per hour up grade of about ten per cent with three-fourths load, this run to date of the Delco-Light plant, would be euuivolent to 82,080 miles, and ll'.S miles to the gallon of kerosene. The kerosene consumption has been approximately COS gallons. The cylinder oil consumption has been approximately seven) yfour gal Ions. i ":iCH Kerosene at $.12 e.iuats $72.!t; Cylinder oil at $.lo -u:'il 29.t;o $102. SC Figuring that the average user operates the plant ten hours a week, this run equals six years' actual service at a fuel cost of $102. SO for 2432 K. W., which amounts to $.04 per K. W. or about $1.41 per month. This Delco-Light plant has been running cont inuously ror .",040 hours, which is equivalent to 12G days. eighteen weeks or four and one-fifth months, and it is operating today just as smoothly tand happily as the day It started. The plant is in good condition. and from every indication will con tinue to run for a long time to come. When baby suffers with eczema or some itching skin trouble, use Doan's Qntment.
