108-13 IT. 11th St. Ftaone Song. rini.
A restaurant recently established in
London has taken a strong grasp on
present-day methods of service and
quality. ,
Visitors nre encouraged to prepare for
themsolvcs such portions uf the nienl ns
are most appetizing when first cooked.
To this end the management provide
clcctilc toasters and electric 051; boilers
dainty little Instruments that adorn
rather than spoil the appearance of thu
table. So local U the heat with those
appliances that It Is difficult for anyone
fitting nt the table to realize that th
toaster or boiler Is otherwise than cold.
Toast cooked by electricity Is delicious,
and If prepared from electrically baked
bread Is quite distinct from the toast to
be obtained elsewhere. Of the superior
virtues of a newly boiled or newly
noacned ess In comparison with those
prepared even a few minutes before con
sumption there Is no question. The urt
vantage. too, to persons of weak digestive
powers In being able to. infuse one's own
tea needs no further comment.
Single Coarse Sufficient.
A single course In an electric restau
rant Is sufficient to prove the supcrlotltj
of thn conditions under which I ho food
Is prepared. Kven such foods ns come
from a distant kitchen are "piping hot'
when Herved, for during their passagu
In the lifts they are under the Influence
of electrically operated hot plates. Every
thing Is scrupulously cleitn: there Is no
reason why It should be otherwise, for
In the absence of fires In the kitchen
there are no smoke, and no soot and no
dust-bearing draughts. All the air en
tering the building Is filtered, washed,
and, If necessary, warmed by electrical
means.
The pride with which proprietors ot
electric restaurants open their kitchens
Is easily understood. Nothing can com
pare with them In cleanliness and com
fort. The air Is as fresh as In any well
ordered living room and the temperature
as equable.
A Kitchen Showpiece.
The cooking range Is Justly a show
piece. One of the first things that strikes
a visitor is the little attention that such
a range requires. This Is largely due to
the fact that there are no fluctuations
In temperature, and that If a certain heat
Is known to produce the desired result
with a certain food that heat can be ob
tained In a few moments and maintained
with certainty throughout the entire
operation. It seems Impossible to 70
wrong with "fixed temperature" cooking.
In the kitchen of the restaurant opened
last week all minor operations are con
ducted by electricity. The coffee Is
roasted and ground, meat chopped ana
perishable goods refrigerated. When the
kitchen la. cleaned electrically operate.!
vacuum cleaners are brought Into action.
The most surprising thing, however, li
the fact that except for pilot lights burn.
Ing above the ovms to Indicate the sec
t.ons In use there Is nothing sugaestlvo
of electilcnl agency. Wires are not to
be seen, and even small auxiliary motors
are hidden In compact casings.
Light by Means
of a Silver Cord
Amazes the Visitor
An old man. evidently a strnnger to
Crowded department stores, slowly el
bowed his way through aisles and past
tables until ho reached the objoct ot his
Interest a lighted electric lamp.
Wonderlngly he looked nt It and timidly
he looked nt the saleslady started to go
and again turned around.
The saleslady looked at him encourag
ingly and he finally opened his mouth,
"U-does that Might come .through
hereT", he asked,, pointing to the sllvor
cord which carried tho current to the
lamp.
"Yes."
With a Idok of satisfaction he turn-d
to go and again elbowed his way through
the store with a look of having gained a,
world of knowledge.
"As long as 1 can disseminate knowl
edge like that I suppose I ought to be
happy," commented tho saleslady to her
self, "I hope he doesn't try to" run coal
oil through a shoestring."
Lamps Sold Here
to Foreign Buyers
A number of 120-volt Shelby wire
drawn Mazda lamps were sold by the
Wolfe Electric company to a pnrty living
In Copenhagen, Denmark. The lamps
will be shipped via the Scandinavian-
American line, a direct lino from New
Tork to Copenhagen. When this ship
ment reaches Its destination it will only
be nnothnr proof thnt the Shelby Mazdas
are tho strongest and most durable lamps
of their kind.

Six Fundamentals Presented by

COMMENT MADE ON ALL OF THEM

tn a recent Issue, the bulletin of tho
American das and ttlectrlo company, pre
sented six fundamental advantages of
electricity safety, economy. control,
adaptability, purity and health-and com
mented on them ns follows:
"So many accidents happen due to the
use of old-tlmo lllumlnants that the
people have become qulto accustomed to
thoso announcements and seldom npply
the danger to themselves.
"Health Is tho next feature. The II
lumlnant that carries the light Into, your
the nlr, which Is of vital Importance, nat
urally had a decided advantage.
"Electricity ennnot ho adulterated. The
meter measures the energy exactly
Should you fall to get good light, full
voltage, the meter will not charge you
for this lack ot light.
"In architecture, In adaptability, there
Is no comparison of electricity with other
forms of Illumination. It will meet any
situation, anywhere, nt any time.
"Hcntlng by electricity Is more expen
sive than by gns or coal, when mere
energy Is measured. Hut the heat can
be applied ot any given degree wherever
and whenever It Is wanted. And then the
expense can bo Instantly stopped. The
control of electricity Is left for the but
ton or the knob.
'The economy of electricity Is of de
cided Importance. Electricity can bo
turned on and turned off, and waste
avoided Instantly. Electric energy In the
form of light, hent or power, can be more
definitely utilized.
"No other form of service can equal
electricity. Hence, no other plan of heat.
light and power can be conscientiously
compared In price with that of electricity."

It Is a pleasure trip pure and simple,

Woman Lights Oven
to Avoid Burning
Fingers in Cooking
An enterprising housowlfo has taken
good cxamplo from the automatic lights
In closets and Ice chests and has had
exactly tho somo thing installed In her
oven.
A small Mazda lamp has been placed In
the upper forward corner of tho oven.
The lamp Is connected to a switch which
automatically turns the light on and off
as the oven door is opened and closed.
It Is a great convenience to bo thus
enabled to see tho food which is baking
or roasting wltnout having to Interrupt
Its progress by drawing It out of the
door. Incidentally It saves in burnt
fingers .and florid faces.
