To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But rates are fluctuating rapidly, almost inva riably downward, so that comparisons are ephemeral. As a rule three-fourths of the cost of artificial gas to the ii2 SLAVES BY THE BILLION consumer goes into distribution, only about one-fifth in actual manufacture. Its more general use is reducing the cost, and the more general use of electricity has the same salutary effect. Water heaters can be procured in sizes ranging from one-gallon capacity to 140 gallons ; and they are so thor oughly insula...ted that the heat stays in the tank. For dishwashing, laundry, bathing and shaving these heaters are well-nigh indispensable, and the temperature may be maintained at any desired height from 130 degrees to 190. Water is cold at 50 degrees, lukewarm at 85, very hot, perhaps too hot, at 190 degrees. From a good tank it issues as pure and sparkling as from the cold water faucet. Faucets may be of brass, copper, nickel or chromium, and we have the combination type, which mixes hot with cold water. At chain stores one may buy movable nozzles, with tiny levers to cause a spray when it is needed.
