We may i've without poetry. music

We may live without friends, We may

But civilized mar cannot live without

Only owen Meredith 10 all wrong and
civilized man can live without the cook
II civilized woman 10 on the Job. The
way to solve the servant problem Is TO
eliminate the servant said Mrs. Frank
A. Pattison at the Domestic Science and
Pure Food Show the other day. And
at her beautiful home In Coionia, N. j.,
Mrs. PattlSon- n managing . practical
example OF the servantless house. 1t
ID called the Household Experiment Sta
ton OF the New jersey Federation of
women's Clubs. Of which Mrs. Pattison
10 an ex-prsstdent.
Making . wing Of Mrs. P%attlson's
" house. bue With IL own separate
porch and entrance. the station" con-
sists OF four tiny rooms. two upstairs
n two down. In these rooms Is
crowded the very cream OF all the
making = homework easy apparatus
which has been put on the market dur
Ing the last ten years. I'VE try every
domestic labor-saver," explained Mrs.
Pattison. III Il proves practical we
keep II; II not. II Ia at once discarded"
And here are Just a few Of the inter-
estlng substitutes for Bridget and her
kin. There IL the dishwasher. a big
square tank Of galvanized iron with q
piston arrangement At one side. The
dirty dishes are placed In the tank, It
Is filled about half full with boiling
water, the piston is plunged up and
down a few times. and presto! the
dishes are washed.
Then there 10 the kitchen elevator.
which 10 q sort OF combination of dumb
waiter n icebox. The Ice II placed In
the bottom. the dishes to be kept cold
In the middle partition and In the top
closet 10 room for potatoes and other
vegetables which should be kept dark
and cool but not iced. The top Of this
machine Is simply . square section of
the kitchen floor. II hangs down into
the cool cellar md rises to its full
length when . button 10 pressed.
MOTOR SAVES LABOR OF THE
HOUSEWIFE.
The universal motor may be attached
to . washing machine. wringer, manSls.
ice cream freezer. bread maker. chopper,
crater. and sewing machine. Its cleo
trio energy will run all these things
without any expenditure Of physical
force on the part Of the housewife.
Mrs. Pattison showed me four vari-
eties Of cooking apparatus. the old-fash-
toned coal range. the gas stove. the al
oohol stove and the electric stove. She
has discovered q specially fine model Of
the latter. with predetermined heat and
pr predetermined time. In plain English.
II the recipe tells you to bake you cake
one hour in O quick oven. you set one
dial hand for temperature. another for
time. and lie down In the hammock to
read the latest novel. The cake will
not fall, and when II 10 baked the stove
will put itself out
Mrs. Pattison recommends the alcohol
stove as at once an easy and an eco
nomical device for cooxing. a gallon OF
denaturized alcohol. such as is used In
the stove. costs but so cents This Ii
at a cheaper rate than hiring a man to
go out and cut wood
An electric washing machine and an
electric fiatiron are other effective con
veniences. A hand vacuum cleaner takes
the place OF broom and mop. Antiseptic
busters keep the hands clean. A heat
and odor extinguisher, a folding contri-
vance OF curving iron plates, may be
slipped over any stove and thus prevent
the heat and steam OF cooking from
escaping into the room. The garbage
moderator Is operated by gas. and It's
visible part consists OF Il large. funnel
shaped contrivance, down which any
thing from a beef bone TO mouldy
crackers may be turned, 20 be consumed
instantly without odor or heat. The
convenient masculine tool rack has It's
counterpart In the house OF the Jersey
housewives in a tall. Light wooden rack,
hung with spoons. cups and other cook
ing utensils. which can be moved any
where, from garnet TO cellar.
