Electrical Power Used
To Do the HOuSeWOrk

When company comes to the
woman without a servant she knows
that she has an industrial problem
to solye-to entertain company, to
keep the house in its accustomed
order, to plan the meals and serve
them as she would like to serve
them, and be her usual self withal.
Now, how much pure energy does
that take, and how can it be done
Easy. Yes, If she is an up-to-date
woman and has learned that modern
methods in housekeeping are just
as practical and sure of results as
modern methods in travelling or in
manufacturing.
When the old-fashioned housewife
rises in the morning and surveys
the next sixteen or eighteen hours
1t seems that II all the energy which
she is going to expend could be ap-
piled directly to the tasks which
she wishes accomplished, the day
would be saved. At breakfast If
they could only have hot toast or
waff1es without so many trips from
dining table to kitchen stove, or the
second cup Of coffee which has not
stood on the fire and boiled too
much, or stood off the fire and be-
come cold. II she wishes her house
cleaned she must sweep and raise
a dust, and then dust. If she could
only sweep and dust at the same
operation what saving. 1t seems
that every task makes useless work.
Some means Of conserving energy
would certainly bring about do
mestic economy" both in labor and
money.
And that is just what has been
done. Electricity is the most effci-
ent and economical energy known,
and it has been applied to almost
every phase of household work.
Electricity is efficient because 1t is
quick and sure. When electrical
current is applied to heating an iron
it heats it in very much less time
than anything else heats it. Elec-
tricity is economical because when
1t Is applied to heating an iron it
heats the iron and nothing else, not
a stove and not the air; it consumes
no superfiuous fuel, and the same
rules hold true for every application
of electricity.
And so the woman who lives in a
house wired for electric lights buys
electric appliances, and is prepared
to care for her own house, family,
and friends who come.
She can entertain at breakfast
while cooking most of the meal at
the table and serving it deliciously
hot. The electric coffee percolator,
the electric toaster, and the electric
waffle irons make this possible. The
complete cleanliness and safety of
electricity make it ideal for cook
ing, and when the cooking is done at
the dining table there is no heat
wasted in keeping things warm un-
til they are wanted.
With the vacuum cleaner the en-
tire house is kept clean with no
offensive dust-raising or tedious
pushing of a broom, and it is so
quickly done. Once over the floor

Electric Signs for Hos
pitaI "Quiet Zones"

Hospitals situated in the neigh
borhood of much street traffic gen.
orally have printed signs posted on
the thoroughfare a short distance
each way from the hospital, warn
ing drivers and others to pass with
as little noise as possible.
Indianapolis, Ind, has improved
upon this by using electric signs,
thus making these warnings con-
spicuous and more apt not to go
unnoticed.

with the vacuum cleaner and 1t has
sucked up the dirt, lint, dust par
ticles, and germs. Specially made
nozzles for furniture, decorations,
mattresses, take of the dust and
germs with absolute surety.
"A general utility motor is an un-
ceasing aid In the kitchen. 1t will
polish the silver, grind the coffee,
beat the eggs and the cake as well,
turn the ice cream freezers.

ChoraIceIO, Electric
Musical Instrument

An instrument called the choral
cello which may revolutionize the
musical world because of the way
In which its strings are made to
vibrate Is described in the June is
sue Of the Edison Monthly.
Each string corresponding TO
note has behind it a magnet which
causes the string to vibrate when
a pulsating current is sent through
the magnet coil And it is this free
vibration without physical contact
that causes the strings to give out
tones of far richer quality and
effect than 1t is possible to produce
by the hammering of the strings as
in a piano.
This instrument is played like a
piano or organ, and SO long as the
player depresses a key the string
responds to the magnet with
steady tone. The. players control
of the instrument as now con-
structed is such as to enable him
to vary at will the volume of sound
from the deepest note to one just
dying away. The instrument is ar
ranged to combine the electrical and
piano action simultaneously upon
the same string, thus giving two
tones. The choralcelo may also be
arranged to be played by roll music
and pneumatic action. Those who
have heard the choralcelo render
some of the master compositions
marvel at The harmony and won
derful organ and piano effects
produced. -..5
The inventor, Melvin L. Severy,
has given twenty years to perfect
ing the instrument, during twelve
of which he was aided by George
B. Sinclair. .

HIS DENTAL ORNAMENT
 WAS HIS UNOO|NG
Arrest of Young Man Whose Distinguishing Feature Was
 His Gold Teeth

"A small, clean-shaven man with blue eyes and gold filled teeth will call al Bisbee post office today for mail. Arrest and hold That was a message received by City Marshal Bassett Watkins yesterday morning from Sheriff C. Brown, of Reeves county. Texas.
 Officer Lorenzo Wright was detailed 10 watch the post o'hce and his watch was soon rewarded by a sight of a small, clcan-shayen man with blue eyes, After the man had obtained his mail he was placed under arrest and is now in the city jail Sheriff Brown is expected to arrive in the city the latter part of the week for the man.
 It is not known on what charge the man. whose name is Earl Killings. worth, is wanted on in TeNas. The telegram was sent from Pecos, in Reeves county. and stated that Kill. ingsworth was wanted for a felony Evidently the Reeves county sherih has been doing a clever bit of de tective work for he knew that the man would call st the Bisbee post office yesterday morning for a letter that he expected and ;hat came.
 It is not known whether the letter was confscated by Bisbee officers but they have it in their possession. It is believed that the letter will be used ia prosecuting the charge against the man.
 kilhngsworth is young mar. 9 years of age He has been in Bisbee only a short time and nothing is known of him here.

The province of the organization of which she is the head is to supply the necessi- ties of life. actual needs, and it re- quires the fupds of the organization to do this. Even then she cannot always do all she would. for lack of adequate funds. and never case of deserving need is brought td her attention but something is done for the relief of the situation. But the supplying of Christmas gifts, neces- sary as they are to the happiness of little ones, cannot be termed the supplying of physical necessities. and so cannot be undertaken by the ehari- ity bureau. Yet that bureau is help ing the Good Fellow movement by supplying names that could not oth- erwise be obtained

In one of the recent cold spells she called at one poor home where she found a widow and six ClAiNIEus the poor toIt MOlndu UOlu- ing her youngest close to her bosom to keep the poorly clad. puny little body warm from the warmth of her own body.

Unless some good fellow volunteers, they must re- .iain nnthought of by St Nicholas, a week from next Monday On this particular visit four other families were met and relieved. and in these there are also children who have a dismal Christmas in store except Good Fellows brighten 1t, On the list at the charity bureau there are nineteen families, each containing from three to six children who have had destitution relieved, but these children would have no gifts except for the Good Fellow movement.

CITY TAX PAYMENT
 HE RUSH BEGINS
The Penalty VIII Attach Aft CT Next Mon
 day

There was a tax payers rush on the office of the city marshal yes terday. It was not a rush of indig- nation. but a rush to pay taxes be- fore they become delinquent. which dire consequence will happen to those who fail and refuse to pay their city taxes before December iS.
 The city will not receive tax mon ey between December IS and January 1. The Christmas holidays have noth' ing to do with the matter, however In that interim the marshal will be busy transferring the assessments of the delinquents to the delinquent tax book. and positivG-y will net take any money, as strange as that may seem. The delinquent may drop on his or her knees and plead with MT. Wat kins with tears in their eyes as large and as acrid as lemon drops, but the marshal will be obdurate.
 Consequently, those who fail to pay their taxes before December IS, which is next Monday, will, on or af- ter January l. 1912. pay in addition to the regular tax. five percent. of the tax. one per cent. for each months S delinquency. and fifty cents for each lot or portion Of a lot.
 The delinquent roll will not be as large as it was last year A large number of suits were instituted by the city attorney in the district court for collection of last years delin- quent taxes. but the majority of them were settled out of court, thus say. ing a portion of the added cost Even then, in several cases. the amount collected was several times the amount of the original tax.
