ELECTRICITY IN THE FAMILY

ELECTRICITY IN THE FAMILY.
Electricity is so readily utilized whenever
Ii is available, that it is becoming a servant
IN the affairs of daily life in so many diff
ferent ways and SO insidiously that many
people are scarcely aware of its practical
uses in their own affairs.
1t is in its application to the operation of
the family sewing machine that the familiar
use of electricity is made practical in the
home. The cost in the family of operating
a sewing machine by foot power is not
measured by dollars. but by the expendi-
tUre of the vitality for which It calls and
Whatever CT this cost can be saved is a de-
sirable, in fact, more important than a
money saving. For this purpose the
DlEHL ELECTRIC BALANCE-WHEEL
MOTOR is unique in being the only one
than can be applied directly to the driv-
ing shaft of the machine, taking the place
of the balance wheel
1t is as easily handled as the ordinary
incandescent lamp and its consumption of
the electric current is the same, costing
about l cent per hour. This motor can be
seen in practical operation every day at
THE SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY'S shop. No. GIG 9th st. NV, where
all sewing machine users are cordially in

1894. This law must stand until 1t
shall have been repealed and another
law substituted. No repeal has yet
been achieved. None will be for some
time TO come.
The argument that a precedent was
established in 1894, when the Wilson
act was made to take effect August /,
though it did nor actually become a
law until August IS, is no argument at
all. There was no one to contest so
absurd and unconstitutional a proceed
ing. for the change was all in favor Of
the importers; and if the treasury Off
cials gave a rebate on duties collected
under the Mckinley law between Aug
ust l and August IS, they simply failed
in their duty and are open to the charge
of gross delinquency. Section l, article
