lnstaiment Buying Briugs Bankruptcy

instaIment Buying BriDgs Bankruptcy
The credit system and the instalment
plan have ruined thousands of homes
Don't buy furniture, for example, or the
I inst plan; People are otsmgtsd- TO
ments must be made, and if they are no.
the outfitter can take back the goods and
keep the amount already paid down.
In the cities the best time to buy furni-
ture is in the spring when the house out
filters have sales of sample furniture. At
these times one can get bargains, says
the February Designer, for the supply is
limited and there is only one pattern OF a
kind. Often by watching the secondhand
stores one can obtain bargains in mahog-
any furniture and rare brasses. The for
mer can be scraped and made to look like
new. House outfitters often sell furniture
on the instalment plan, and are obliged tc
take it back because the purchaser cannot
keep up payments. They sell these pieces
which have many times been used only
few months, at reduction Don't buy
more furniture than you need.
Hesitate, for example, before buying
bureau. Nowadays, many housekeeper'
buy a chest Of drawers or chiffonier anC
have fastened near it, flat to the wall,
full length plate glass mirror with mar
row wood frame. This is much longe
and more decorative than the bureau
mirror and the cost Of the two pieces o
furniture is no more.

Electricity Purifies Water.

Water is purified by Leon Lions sys tenn of electrical decomposition where by an ordinary electric current, such as is used for lighting. passes through the water and separates it into it's gaseous clements, the oxygen gen erated accomplishing the work of puri- fication When the oxygen is first separated from the hydrogen it pos sesses unusual activity and combining power It is termed nascent oxygen. At the separation it also formed ozone, a gas which retains the remarkable activity of nascent oxygen and burns any substance with which it comes in contact. When nascent oxygen and ozone are formed with water inorganic matter that may have been in per. feet solution, leaving the water crystal clear, is at once shaken out in easily visible particles, which may be sep arated mechanically.
