HOW ELECTRICITY MAY
BE USEFUL IN THE HOME

IN 5000 or $1,000 house. it is a very
common matter TO wire for electric
lights bat by giving the subject q
little further attention with your elec-
trical contractor and the architect, it is
possible t. arrange for socket heating
devices at very little extra expense
Such receDtacles would be taken OF
from the lighting wires in a very sim
PIE manner. The cost of operating later,
at lighting rates, would not be large
for the reason that the electric devices
which VIII be used on such a circuit
consume only a small amount of cleo
tTicity and are generally used for only
short intervals. They would comprise, for
example. the channg dish, the coffee per
cOlateT heating pad, cigar lighter. shay
ing mug, curling iron, baby milk
warmer, small trying pan and many
others.
