Easy Washing in 6 Minutes

THERE'S a washer that washes a tubful of
n dirty clothes clean in six minutes.
l. L And all you need do is sit beside the
washer and help il along With little pushes
This 1900 Gravity Washer is SO made that the
weight of the tub and the little patent links under
the tub do all the real work of the washing.
They keep the tub swinging back and forth and
up and down with a tpturning"- or ''oscillat-
ing motion.
And this sends the hot, soapy water in the tub
swirling over. and under and round the clothes
until all the dirt is washed out
The clothes are held stiU-so they can't possibly
be injured
There is nothing to pull and haul them about
nothing to beat nor pound them-nothing to wear
You can wash laces in a 1900 Gravity Washer
and never injure mesh.
And you can even wash rugs and carpets without
The 1900 Gravity Washer washes 80 quickly-so
easiy-and SO thoroughly that any ordinary wash

morning.
And you won't be "all beat out when the
washing is finished. For there isn't enough work
to tire even a very delicate woman:
You won't be steam soaked" For the steam is
Thus your health is protected and kept from
exposure.
OF course. the savings effected by 1900 Gravity
Washer-savings of time and strength and wear
on clothes-are worth a lot to you.
And the 1900 Gravity Washer is the only washer
that will effect such savings, because these saw
ings all due to the tcOrkin0 parts of the
washer which make it wash quickly and easily,
:rhiie the clothes are held still.
The tcorking parts of the 1900 Gravity Washer
cannot be initiated Because they are paten ted.
Therefore only the looks of my 1900 Gravity
Washer can be initiated.
And of course looks won't wash clothes s. any
more than looks will save your time and strength
and wear on your clothes.

TESTING COUNTERFEIT BILLS

TIME United States Government prints its
currency and numbers its bills in a series
OF four, so that every piece of paper money
turned out bears one of the check letters,
A, b, c, d. One of these letters is always
found in two places on a United States bill,
in the upper left hand corner and in the lower
on the bill is not determined by the number
Of the bill. The rule is to divide the last two
figures the note by four. Should the re-
mainder be one the check letter must be 4; ;
should it be two, the check letter is B; three,
the check letter is c; and nothing, the letter d.
For example, have before me fve-dollar

As there were only three to play, one of
