Busy But Cool
And Comfortable
No need to put off house
cleaning until cool weather
an electric fan will make
"cool weather" for you at anytime.
Go right ahead and do your
cleaning during the summer-time
when it's more
comfortable to stay in the
electrically cooled house
than to roam around outside
the blazinc sunlight.
Then you can rest and really
enjoy the mellow Autumn
days, when the very thought
of work is unbearable.

HOW TO OPERATE ELECTRIC FAN
Device of Great Valne Ventilator
and Can Be Placed Near Win
dow and Uaed to Blow
Smoke from Room.
The electric (an was more of a curios
ity than anything else until a very few
years ago. Only in the higher priced
hotels and In the private offices of the
wealthy were electric fans to be found to
any extent Now they ore common
enough everywhere and we enjoy their
gentle breeze in railroad and subway
trains, in dining rooms, reception rooms,
offices, shops and stores and In the home.
The electric fan needs no care other
than an occasional oiling. This olHnK
should not be too generous, Just a drop or
two now and then will be sufficient. Too
much oil will leak out and run down the
fan pedestal or will be whirled out on the
blades and spattered over everything
within range. The location of the fan
where It will do the most good, and th
least harm, Is all Important. It is not
good policy to place the fan so it blows
directly on a person. The steady breeze
will cool the body too quickly and Is apt
to lead to colds and lameness. If a breeze
is desired the fan should be so placed
that the air is "reflected" from the walls
and thus thoroughly scattered to all parts
of the room. Turn the fan towards the
wall, at a sharp angle, and In this way It
will move all the air In the room. The
fan can also be placed on a high mantel
so it will keep the upper air, which is al
ways the warmest, In continuous motion.
Often enough the temperature outdoors
will drop very quickly, Generally the
change follows the going down of the sun,
or a thunder shower. This will leave the
house full of hot air. If there Is no wind
blowing it would take a long time to cool

off the Interior of each room without the
aid of a fan, In this case place the fan
on the window led bo so it can pump out
the hot air. By opening another window
opposite the fan the coot outdoors will
rush In to replace the expelled air. By
placing a good fan In a window upstairs,
the entire house can be quickly cooled In
thli way. Generally the nights are cool
following the hottest day. The thermome
ter will show that It Is the house which
Is hot, not the air outdoors. By replacln
tho heated air of the house interior with
the cool air outdoors the rooms can be
quickly cooled and made comfortable for
sleeping purposes.
The electric fan Is also of great value
as a ventilator. By arranging a bracket
In the kitchen near the top of a window
the fan can be used to blow the smoko,
odors and heat of cooking outdoors and
the kitchen can be made more tenatable.
The odors of cooking, steam, fumes, etc.,
gather In the upper air near the celling.
By placing the fan near the celling these
fumes can all be blown outside. This will
keep the kitchen cooler and prevent the
odors from permeating the entire house.
The electric fan Is also of value in keep
ing flies out of the house. Flics do not
like the electric fan. They will not re
main where the fan Is buzzing.
It is rather difficult to operate a fan
In the average bedroom. It cannot be
safely placed on a chair, as It will
"creep" and fall off. If placed on the
dresser It will make too much noise,
owing to the sounding board effect of
hollow furniture. The best way Is to
fasten it to the window ledge with two
small screws. Every fan Is provided with
holes for screwing It fast as desired.
Those thumbscrews can be easily and
quickly adjusted, making the fan secure
and In no danger of falling off the win
dow in the night. The cord and switch
can be located near the head of the bed,
within easy reach of the sleeper, so that
the fan can be turned on and off at will.
If placed on the first speed the fan wilt
make practically no noise and can safely
be operated all night. It Is Immaterial
whether the fan punT?fresh nlr Into the
room or sucks the'usSa air out, the effect
being the same.
The first cost of an electric fan is not
great. The small eight-Inch Is large
enough for a small homo and the twelve
Inch fan Is large enough for any size
house. They can bo easily attached to
the electric light socket and consume no
more current than a small elcctrlo lamp.
In fact, the eight-Inch fan can be used
for a quarter of a cent an hour and tho
twelve-inch fan for half a cent an hour.

ities of the June bride and tho graduato
seem to pull from every direction.
These two people, lot us hope, are pre
paring to be very practical from now on
and forever, and will appreciate any
"substantial" suggestions from best
wishers.
The times are most propitious for prac
tical gifts to anybody. Whcro the bride
or the graduate of a few years ngo must
be pleased with a plain frying pan or
chafing dish these' very articles havo
boen turned Into things of beauty as
well as service The frying pan has
assumed many different disguises and
now stands on the dining table polished
and smiling bock at those who smllo
at It.
The graduatJ who now receives a
chafing dish Is not necessarily hampered
xorever after with smelly bottles and
"don't burn down the house." Sho gets
a silk cord right with It which supplies
It with all the eat and drink It needs,
that Is if there is an electric light socket
or basoboard receptacle to draw upon.

one who receives a modern gift Do not
be old fashioned merely because you wish
to be practical. For inkar.ee, who
wouldn't like a curling iron which Is
always ready and can't burn or smoke.
