ILLUMINATED lCEBOx
new HOME ATTRACTION

Every user Of an ice box will be in
terested In a refrigerator that not only
embodies cold storage wisdom, but elec-
trc illumination. In the new electric
lighted Ice box an electric push button
on the outside instantly uluminates the
interior of the box. This has the ad-
vantage of lighting up dark corners and
revealing at once the whereabouts Of
the butter, meat or other food. While 1t
was formerly necessary to illuminate the
entire kitchen or pantry in order to see
into the refrigerator with this improved
ice box it is only necessary to press
button and, behold, a good deal Of Hum
ination Just where it d wanted. This re-
frigerator is provided with an air flue
at each end Of the ice chamber, afford
ing a special system Of circulation that
prevents pocket of foul air at top Of
provision chamber and gives dry, cold
atmosphere in every part Of the storage
compartment. This system Of sanitation
provides a hot water flushing device in
connection with a syphon floor trap. Elec-
trio lamps inside the ice box connected
with the push button switch provides the
much needed illumination.-Popular Elec-

Getting Best Result
from Your Electric
Light Illumination

One OF the most popular misconcep-
tions Of good lighting is that which mis-,
takes large blaze Of light for good
illumination. A room may have an
abundance of light and still be poorly
lighted and again 1t may have re-
lauvely small amount of light and have
livery good illumination, Good illumina-
ton does not require so much that there
be great amount Of light as 1t does that
1t be thrown where 1t Is needed.
We must remember that objects are
visible by means Of the light they reflect
to our eyes and not because of the light
that comes to us directly from the lamp
There are therefore two fundamental
rules to follow when installing q lighting
unit First, to throw the light upon the
objects to be Illuminated; second to pre-
vent the light Of the lamp falling directly
upon the eye. Both of these results are
brought about by the use of suitable
shades or reflectors.
II one Is reading for example, and
bare, unshaded, electric light Is sus-
pended somewhere between the eye and
the printed page, the light coming from
the lamp will be 80 much more intense
than that which is reflected from the page
that the latter will appear indistinct, to
say nothing of the eye strain caused by
the direct rays Of the lamp, II. however
the light source Is shaded so that Its
direct rays do not fall upon the eyes Of
the reader but are directed upon the
reading matter, the reading will be made
much easier and excessive eye strain
eliminated,

SAVING TIME, LABOR AND
MONEY IN THE HOME

The high cost Of living necessitates
greater economy In the home. Labor
light and fuel are the three most expen-
SiVe things in modern housekeeping and
anything that will give better light for
less money. save the cost of hired help
and lessen the monthly bills for fuel, is Il
friend In need.
Illuminating engines have shown that
the common oil lamp and the gas jet are
far more costly than electric lights, The
oil and gas lights destroy the paint,
smoke up the wall paper and not in"
frequently set fire to the house, Aside
from the matches used, the new chimneys,
lamps gloves. wicks, the purchase Of oil
fuel and the care of the oil lamps, the
item of paper and paint makes these oil
lamps by far the most extensive. Elec-
tricity does not require even a match
once it is installed. 1t gives off no dan
gerous gases to run up needless doctor
bills, does not harm the furniture and
household furnishings, and saves all the
time formerly spent in cleaning and fill
ing the old oil lamps The illuminating
engineers have made practical study of
their work and by the use Of the right
unts for paper and paint can install cleo
tricity so 1t will give perfect light for a
very little cost. Formerly more than
half the light was absorbed by dark wall
paper and the smoky ceilings.

Many Useful Gifts
in Electrical Way
Now Offered Here

Only little while ago electrical gift
ware was practically limited to toyland.
Germany started the making Of electrical
toys and America bought them. At pres
ent, it Is estimated that we spend not less
that $3d,0Oo,0O per year for playthings.
1t is only recently, however, that prac-
tical and convenient electrical devices for
household use came to be included in the
category of electrical gift-ware. Yet, to-
Cay, they represent class OF gifts which
In addition to all other virtues possesses
that of up-to-dateness to an unequalled
degree. Their great popularity is due not
only to their compactness, neatness and
attractive design, but also to the fact
that they are Of general benefit to all
members Of family.
The heating devices such as the lumin-
GUS radiators are made Of handsome
polished nickel or Of FURNISHED copper,
and are very ornamental as we'll as use
full The electric flatiron Is Just about
the right size and costs just enough to
make 1t an ideal gift. This is also true
in the ease Of the disk stove, the coffee
percoiator, the toaster and In fact all the
devices now available for this purpose.
The radiant electric grill is probably
the most magical of the electric cooking
devises carried in Santa Claus pack.
Unlike some of the other devices. it ls
not of limited use. One can do several
kinds Of cooking with it, and any two
kinds at the same time-broiling and
toasting, or boiling and frying. or broiling
and stewing, or broiling while baking
griddle cakes.

Mr.. r. Thorne Baker the electrical ex.
pert connected with the Daily Mirror,
London, who recently made some expert
ments in raising chickens under the in.
fluence of electric current, now proposes
to do the same thing with babies.
mo kind Of food seems to do weakly
babies any good" says Alr. Baker "As
recently state in the Daily Mirror. pro.
pose to use an electrically charged cot In
which the Baby is put to sleep for about
twenty minutes at a time.
'The physician is at present expert
.menting on little animals, such as guinea
plgs and in few days we shall begin
with the babies"
Mr.. Bakers intended experiment is to
place babies near high frequency currents
which would be switched on while the
child sleeps in little bed, placed inside
a special coil,

while the treatment is in progress the
electro magnetic vibrations will pass

FACTS AND FUN.

In Bombay, India. the new dwellings
and offices are nearly all fitted with
electric light and electric fans. and some
also with electric lifts. Hardly less i'm,
portant than lighting is the demand in
the bungalows for electric fans. Where
electric power is available there is in
every room an electric fan attached to
the ceiling, and generally there are also
small portable lamps. There Is also a
large demand for electric machinery for
power plants. Not the least important
part of this demand is for the textile
factories in Bombay, and it may be an.
ticipated that In a few years most, If not
all, Of the largest spinning and weaving
mills at least will be run by electric
power.

no MORE CHEAP COTTON
FINANCIAL AUTHORITY STRONG
" or THAT OPINION.

(From the Wall Street Journal)
Cheap cotton IN the old sense Of the
word seems thing Of the past. In
1895 and 1888 middling uplands sold
in New York at 5.62 and 5.37 cents,
respectively; but It may be that In
October, 1908, at cents and in De-
cember last year at 9.37 cents cotton
was actually cheaper. in view Of the
changed conditions OF production and
consumption, than in either of these
earlier years. .
All elements in the cost Of produc.
ton, including labor. interest on the
land, depreciation Of machinery and
facilities, and expense for fertilizers,
have risen rapidly; and at the same
time the demand for cotton has grown
so fast as to establish the price on a
higher level, even If cost Of produc-
ton has remained unchanged.
Some Of the factors tending toward
higher prices may be here tabulated.
In the first column is given the esti-
mated consumption per capita; in the
second the approximate interest cost
of land devoted to cotton production,
figuring the interest at five per cent;
and in the third column is given an
index number showing the rise in
wages. Farm labor has risen In price
to just about the same extent as other
labor: r.t,

SOWING CoWPEAS.

The ground should be prepared for
the planting of cowpeas much as 1t is
for corn. If one intends to use land
that was in corn the year before. 1t
should be disked as soon as 1t Is
plowed, followed by more disking and
narrowing every ten days or two
weeks. according to the dampness OF
the soil, occasioned by rains This
not only keeps good mulch on the
ground, but also prevents the weeds
from getting start. Seed the peas
in late May or June, the method of
seeding depending much upon the pur-
pose for which the cow peas are to be
used. og. as }# a.. m a - XII i
4 When the peas are intended for hay,
the drilling should be thick, using
about bushel Of peas to the acre.
With small-seed varieties the ordinary
grain drill can be used to advantage.
When the peas are grown for seed
they should be planted in rows about
21a to 8 feet apart and cultivated fire..
quently. Early varieties can be plant
ed in the southern part Of the corn
belt to follow small grain or early
potatoes.

"Estimated. s'Rough approximate
based on census values. -
, Any accurate estimate OF the cost
of the labor used in producing bale
of cotton is impossible for many rea-
sons; but assuming 1t to have been
about $500 in the late nineties, the
rise in wages indicates that 1t is now
no less than 1926. The interest on
land, buildings and machinery mean
while has more than doubled. Judg-
ing from census returns, the average
value Of improved land in 1910 was
about $4,000 per acre, as compared
with less than $4,000 in 1898. At five
per cent. this means an interest cost
Of $500 per acre or $500 per bale at
present, against about $1.32 per acre
or $3.50 per bale in 1898. Nor does
this include added interest on build
ings and machinery.
With the cost Of production about
AZ per. cent greater than in 1898, and
with the demand per capita Of popula-
ton about AZ per cent. greater, it is
not at all improbable that cotton was
really cheaper last December than at
any time in the nineties.

the color supplied by nature being OF
no importance-the operation of put

These took the form of special
