WIRING OF HOUSE EASY JOB

So Little Trouble". .-.

Tim. '
I Mr. S. T. Town of Carnegie avenue.
, Cleveland, says that she has been given
a Surprise by the easy way a house can
be wired for electricity. .She has had her
bouse wired from attic to cellar and as
he la a seml-ln valid and confined almost
entirely to her upstairs apartments She
highly appreciate the fact that It waa'
accomplished with absolutely no trouble
to herself or family. x
She says that the workmen - betfart
"Wednesday morning and finished Satur
day noon. They had wired the four rooms
upstairs, the bath room, hall and attic,
the four rooms downstairs, the cellar and
the gar age
Mrs. Town said: "We wanted the eiec
4rlo light on account of tbe absolute
cleanliness of walls and celling and
freedom from soot and grime, whloh we
know would follow their installation. We
have our Mazda electric lamps all ready
to put in as the fixtures are brought
down and put into place. We have the
double switch for the hall, so that we
can turn on the lights from either the top
or bottom of the stairs.
"I never saw such a neat piece of work
In my life. They cleaned up everything
and the only noise we had Waa that Of
the workmen tacking down a carpet. We
tQld them they could Just as well leave
this undone as we were going to discard
It soon, but they followed their instruc
tions to leave everything just as they
found It and tacked down the carpet. .
"We have selected very pretty fixtures
which will be very pleasing even when
not In use. Now that we have electric
lights it makes an entirely electric lighted
district around here. We had the base
board receptacles placed In most of the
rooms, so that now we can use whatever
electrical conveniences we want. We In
tend first to get an electric Iron and a
vacuum cleaner. I shall get a vacuum
cleaner just like my daughter next door
has. It is so light and easily handled
that it in no more trouble to carry than
an old-fashioned broom and it saves her
"fHSa and draperies so much that it has
more than paid for itself since she has
had it besides relieving her off all dust
"Mr. Town also expects to get a, great
deal of satisfaction out of the vacuum
cleaner when he cleans his automobile.
t We had the baseboard receptacle in the
kitohen placed so that the machine can
be driven up close to the Window and tbfe
hose of the cleaner brought out the win
dow to do duty on the machine."
ELECTRIC COOKER RELIABLE
Culinary Work Become an Exact
Science I'nder Modern Methods.
A few years ago the Idea of Rising elec
triclty fof : cooking on anything but., a
luxurious basis would have appeared ab
'surd.
What has brought '.electric" cooking go
quickly down to the everyday level?
Partly the decrease In the cost of oUr
rent, but mainly the improvement in the
efficiency and reliability of the appara
. tus,
Three, reasons may be given for iisifcg
electric cooking anywhere, iir the homes,
in' tho restaurants, in the factory mess
rooms,1 i'lrst of .all, the electric cookers
like electric motors, may be placed any
where convenient. There is no need to
build chimney a or flues. All that Is re
quired is", it at home, an electric stove, or
If at "the factory, a range of electric
ovens in a corner of the mesa room. Ex
cept where frying ha to be done, the
ordinary ventilation Is- generally quite
sufficient If any help Is needed it Is to
tako away the ordinary smell of cook
ing. There are no Unpleasant fumes,
there Is no smoke and there la so little
heat dissipated that roasting and baking
can be carried on during the hottest sum
mer day with astonishing comfort
The second reason la that the results,
from the culinary point of view, axe 10
admirable. There is no cooking like elec
tric cooking. No one who has ever tasted
electrically cooked food will ever want to
live Upon any other. v
. Hera a question of health cornea In,
Good food, well cooked' and appetising in
appearance, does more good to the eater
vtlian indifferent food which lacks the
power of tempt&Ooh, The efficiency of
vork people depend- upon their "health;
therefore electric cooking meats effi-
olency. . . ...
The third reason is allied to the second.
Electric cooking is the easiest aa well as
the most accurate means of Cooking.
Ordinary cooking is a kind of hit or mis
business. Sometimes the cook has the
oven just right and takes out the lshs
at the precise moment of perfection, but
generally sh is only there or there
abouts. ' . ' -
With electric cooking there is no such
uncertainty. With electric tooklng, In
deed, there will be no bad cooks. - The
temperature of an electric oven or
cooker ts under such perfect control that
any -cook who has enough, brain to tell
the time by the clock ean Cook accur
ately. The "electric cook" Cooks by the
clock. .The current i switched on. for
so long; then the dish Is placed In the
oven, then or later the current is regu
lated by a simple switch, and at ft. cer
tain hour the oven is opened and a per
fectly cooked dish Is available.
PRAISE FOR ELECTRIC WASHER
Owner of Drnrer Cafe 8res Honey
: on Ilia I.ti4ry Work.
Adam Goebel, president of the Rector
Cafe company of tenver, Is an enthusi
astic advocate-of the electric washing ma
chine for restaurant work. He has figured
out that he has cut hl laundry bills more
than BO per cent, has lengthened the life
of his linen, has reduced to nothing the
articles usually lost in sending thera to
be cleaned and has eliminated what waa
usually a source of annoyance.
"Prior ' to March 1. 11.M said he, "I
was paying 4S and upwards a week for
my laundry, and at times, when thera
was anything special in the city, my bill
would run much higher. I then bought an
electric home laundry and Ironing ma
chine to do my laundry work at the res
taurant Since I have putin this outfit,
my expense for labor has never rua over
915 a week, and my expense for soap and
oth,er supplies in the laundry about V a
weeS. The gaa for heating the Ironer
has cost me about H3 a month. This Is all
the expense that X nave hat for my laun
dry work since I bought the machines,
with the exception of a small expense that
I went to to drain the water from the
machines.
"I have found the work of this outfit
entirely satisfactory, and have found it
no trouble at all. I could not afford to
aend my laundry out again even though I
could have It done at the same cost to
me aa now, for I find that the laundries
are so much harder on my linen and the
number of articles lost very large. Since
I have been having my laundry done in
my restaurant, I have had nothing lost'
and much less wear on the linen from'
washing." ' ' " .
Electric washers of this type are told
by the "U10" Washer company, 318 South
Eighteenth street. This firm also han
dles many electrical conveniences now
used in the home.
EFPICIESCX I MODERN MEAT
Electrle Device Bringe It Waere De
sired nnd Prevents, Wate.
Efficiency in the application of heat
has reached its maximum development
In the modern electric beating device. By
employing aoouVata eolentifio methods
manufacturers of electrlo appliances have
developed an extremely economical ele
ment so that under average conditions of
Use the device automatically generates
precisely enough heat to be completely
satisfactory In operation. In combination
With this idea is that Of the uso of heat'
insulating materials and methods of con
struction, which prevent the useless ijuid'
worse than useless escape of electrically
generated heat and direct it entirely to
wards the object sought Thus, with ihe
modern electric flatlron. ' the top and
handle are j protected from , tha heating
dement the activity of whch Is .all 'di
rected toward the face of the Iron; more
than that, the greatest activity; per unit
of surface la directed toward the" point
of the iron where it 13 moat required' in
moving over the sre material. ?
This and similar principals have. been
incorporated in the modern electric heat
ing device, to that it is the perfection, of
efficiency and economy combined. ; and
therefore necessarily Xm perfection .01
convenience. The user Is not ubjeoted,
as with out-of-date methods, to any waste
heat during the work, which could re
sult only in making his or her existence
to miserable as possible. To one who has
become accustomed to the benefits of
the electric way, the old-fashioned tor
tures which so many etui endure with a
cheerful immolation worthy of a better
cause, are as bad aa the horrors of the
inquisition. -' ', e
When It is remembered that comfort
and convenience are merely the principal
hot weather aspect of the case, and that
cleanliness, Quick results and therefore
saving of time and effort, and, nervous
force, and the elimination of actual dan
ger, can all have Just as" much. said for
them as good points with-.reference' to
electric heating appliances, the wonder, Is
that any one can me found tOdaty. who is
willing to put up with the other varieties

VACri'M. . CLEANER. SOLVES IT
Eliminates Dirt from Home and De
- light the Hons wives, v. v ......
Any homo where electricity is available
for Itghting has1 the means of eliminating
drudgery, : musslness, days Overcrowded
with work, over-heated rooms. It has
been a long road from the hand operated
appliances for house work to the ap
pliances which are operated swiftly and
surely by electric power. The' difference
between . a washboard and washing
machine turned by hand IS something,
but the difference between a washing
machine operated, by hand and one
oneratedjby power taken from an electrlo
light socket or baseboard receptable Is
incalculable. It saves hours ot time and
hours of labor. It means the saving of
labor 'in washing the heavy things such
as the quilts or .heavy curtains at those
times in the year when it is thought
necessary for everything to have a thor
ough cleaning. .' , '
.The electric Iron saves another day U
saves the constant . walking . between
stove and ironing board, and it saves the
hours of work in an overheated kitchen.
The Vacuum cleaner makes a different
thing or cleaning day. The broom whloh
was pushed laboriously over the floor,
forcing part of the dust under the carpet
and parf into the air to settle on the
furniture has been supplanted by the
vacuum cleaner which simply sucks up
the dust and dirt and can be . used on
anything about the house.' It saves en
tirely the, annual upheaval ot house
cleaning time, for "it allows nothing to
accumulate in the carpets and corners to
be beaten out at the, end of a year or six
months. ; '. -
"That incandescent - is so touchy,"
mumbled the arc light grumpily.
"What Is the matter" inquired the night
wind, with a sigh. , ':'''.''!.
"He got mad because the moon called
him ashine.'?' . .
Homes that Are Different
By Arthur C Clause, AroMtect
H
OMES that are different do not
necessarily have to be entirely
different from a well known
type, but simply a different
arrangement of features that
distinguish the individual home
from others having the same general
characteristics. It is such a wall known
fact that when It comes to getting the
most for your money there Is no question
but what you can get more room in a
square two-story house ot certain uirncn
sions than of any other style of home in
the same dimensions, but this point ritti
not tie dwelt upon In detail. .
.Square homes have been built li so
r-iany common styles, however, that there
hu been a gradual tendency to get fcray
inai this type ot home owing to so much
tlmt'arlty of appearance. A squaw box
with a dormer on the roof, a iorch across
te cntlro front a few brackets In ihe
cornice and an all cement stucco exterior,
is" the common type of square house, and
even when well proportioned and detailed
there la no doubt but that this style is
becoming a little monotonous. A square
home, however, can havo as much In
dividuality about it if prbpe-ly design VI
as any other style of home. Take for
example, the illustrations accompanying
this article. This design, while in every
way a square home, has a touch of orig
inality about It that distinguishes It from
J J.
.e.
II
most homes of this type. The first de
parture from the more common arrange
ment is the porch en the aide. Placing
the porch on the side grows out ol the
tendency to use the main porch more as
an outdoor living room and leas' as a
mere . shelter tor giiests waiting to be
received at the front door. i
Porches aro often cosily furnished with
comfortable chairs and settees of a porch
like character, ,suoh as willow furniture
or old hickory furniture, matting ruga oh
ths floor, Japanese lanterns, autumn
leave! and other little ornaments to Hive
It an inhabited appearance, and this plan
Is still further carried out In many tnod-
y i . ', Well Entertained. ,H ;
Husband (cheerfully) Well, love, have
you , had" a pleasant day?'
Wife-Oh, splendid!. After I dressed the
children and got them off, washed the
dishes and made acme pies, cleared away
the luncheon . table - and- answered some
letters, I still had time enough to darn
my stocklngs.--Harper,B Batgr. ', i.
