KIND OF BUILDING NO OBSTACLE Modrrn KnovledHP of Worker lin nblcn Kvcrythlne to Hp Hour Well nnil NrnHy nt n Smntl Cost. The manner In which the house that Jack built so many years ago may now lie turned Into a modern house, ono worthy of his descendant' occupancy. Is rn simple and easy that few people realise, until they havo experienced It. that they suffer no Inconvenience what ever by having their houses wired. It Is planned, whenever possible, to wire rooms used for the same general pur pose In the eamo circuit, so that the workman will not be engaged In these rooms for more than a slnglo day. The bedrooms In an averaged sited home, for example, are all connected to the samo circuit on which work Is begun In the morning and finished before night. In order thnt there may be no Inconvenience to the family. In a similar manner the dining room, kitchen and pantry arc wired to another circuit so thnt this set of rooms la done In one day. A house of nine rooms, With attic, bath. hall, porch and basement, can be wired with the or dinary number of outlets In three or four days, while It Is possible sometimes to plan the circuit so that this number of rooms can bc completed In two days. Every piece of oloset flooring Is nailed back as soon as the wires aro In place: every little hole In the hall or celling Is covered by a flxturo canopy or switch plate. The 'little sawdust on the floor Is swept up' and the little chunks of plaster, having been caught as they fell, aro dis posed of. So you see, through the modern tricks of tho trade It is not such a Job after all, to wlro your already-built house that Is, to the man who knows ,how. Phone Douglas 4163. Home Laundry Now DraWS Attention Of All Neighbors Here The lautidr which has been placed In the basement of tnan homes Is an exact inlnature of one of which any public laundry would be proud. Many women have gone to call an aequalitnni'r who has a complete electrlo I laundry. The proud hostess has been obliged to work her laundry consider ably overtime simply for tho satisfac tion of the slghseers. She has, of course, nn electric washer and one of those electric dryers, which she tises when the sun Is not bright enough outside to do good work for her. The inlnature "watering tank" Is one of the chief attractions. A can (about the slio of a tomato can) la perched above n. board and at tho turn of a switch a small shower descends upon tho Clothes which have been placed upon tho board. It Is a very well regulated shower and insures tho clothes of Just tho proper de gree of dampness. Tho next turn Is done by the electric iron and mangle, which stand together very sociably and what flat flat pieces tho ninnglo does not do, it amiably parses over to tho Iron. It Is really n. very .business like sort of a place and tho only fault tho neighbors have to find with it Is that It Is station nry.

Neither family know what wns going on when on Wednesday afternoon Mrs. May called up Mrs. Card and Invited her to como over and see her new house. Mrs. Gord said that she also was living In a new house and would bo glad to re ceive callers. "I did not ojcpeot to bo able to ask you over before Sunday, with the cleaning and all I expected to do, but It seems as though 'everything goes before the wire man,' and Sunday began the mlnuto the workmen left the house." The surplse which cornea to most peo ple at the speed and cleanliness of the work Just about equals the delight. When tho workmen leave they leave tho same house In ovsry respect except tho lights.
