GREAT SUCCESS.
Experiments in housekeeping by Elcc'

Experiments In housekeeping by Elcc-
tricity Held Mt Jursens.
The demonstrations of housekeeping,
the electrical way being given by Miss
Winnifred S. Potts in Jurgens's furni-
ture store, Adams and Broad Streets,
are attracting widespread attention.
because of the fact that electricity is
fast becoming a universal household
factor more and more necessary to-
every home.
In speaking of the various household
utensils, which she is demonstrating
here, Miss Potts said: There arc so
very many reasons Why electrically
operated devices arc preferable to all
others that 1t would take hours to
enumerate them and then I'm afraid, {
would forget a number OF important
reasons. There is nothing that you
can cook with an ordinary house stove
that you cannot cook with the elcctri-
cal utensils, and then there is the
added comfort. You can cook quicker
and better with these devices than with
any others that are known to modern
scientific housekeeping.
Tho housewife who uses these ap-
iplianccs can cook her meals IN tile
presence of her callers: there's no
dust. SMOKE ashes or other causes TO
work her or prevent her looking DAM
tx and nice at all times. Best OF all,
her sweet temper is not disturbed. The
arrangements for regulating the heat
are so perfect that she has no cause
for worry about that. She can set her
dish going, sit down and let the cleo
tricitv do tho rest This fact Is also
true of the sewing machine motor.
washing machine motor and the num-
berless other appliances utensils and
devices shown here. After the initial
cost one soon realizes tho great beno-
fits accr,ling from the cleanliness ease
and comfort with which these devices
are operated. The saving of timo and
worry is the great factor In household
economy to-day Any one OF these
utensils can be operated on a polished
ma hogany table without the slightest
fear Of Injury to the table or any other
highly polished surface. Science In these
lines has so far perfected these appli-
ances that they are far from being cS-
periments, and their necessity is be-
ing recognized everywhere In the best
homes In all walks of life."
Dainty dishes of all kinds arc pro-
! pareu and explained by Miss Potts In
plain viewfof all visitors. She explains
how the dishes nre prepared, how long
In requires to cook them and every
thing pertaining to preparing meals
that make the "head of the house.

being that instead of riding the goat
the victim is called upon to ride the
