The same may be said of the cleo
trio water heater. These have capa-
city of one to two pints, and viii
quickly boil liquid, as water or milk,
which may be placed therein. 1t is
quite valuable as a nursery or sick
room adjunct, and in fact finds use
in any household.
These utensils are both made OF
very high-grade MATERIAL and embody
the finest workmanship. They are
durable and ornamental and are ex
cellent selections for household utility
purposes.

ELECTRIC DISC STOVES AND
WATER HEATERS ARE USEFUL
IN ANY HOUSEHOLD.

Two very useful articles which
seem to be standard electric appli-
ances because they nave so many
uses, are the electric water heater
and the electric disc stove. The latter
is a lightweight article with a top
varying from four and a half to six
inches in diameter. 1t quickly reaches
n temperature high enough for frying,
boiling or making toast. 1t is intend
ed to be used with the ordinary cook
ingi utensils, and it "a convenient
source of heat, as it attaches to any
lighting fixture and may readily be
employed in a bedroom.

For drawn-wire Mazda lamps the
navy department of the United States
government has recently placed two
orders, each calling for $4,000 clear
end 5000 frosted 25-watt 1875 volt
drawn-wire Mazda lamps. In connec-
ton with the use of drawn-wire Mazda
lamps on battleships, tests have
shown that these lamps are suitable
for any kind of service conditions on
board ship. A particular case might
be cited. After a target practice
with l2-inch guns on the United
States steamship Delaware it was
found that one-third to one-half OF
the carbon lamps on board the yesse
were put out of commission, while OF

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER

constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence OF
cathartics and p~urgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo

set the entire system.
a mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. b. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
DR.. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos

Gifts for Young Girls

There is scarcely any one on the
Christmas list for whom it is possible
to find a wider range of available gifts
than the school girls, she who is Just
budding into her teens and who is be-
ginning to find charm In all the dainty
little accessories which are, so priced
by her older sister. To begin with her
needs, there are the ever-useful hair
ribbons for her everyday frock, as. well
as for party occasions; then, too, she
will want several pretty embroidered
and lace sailor collars to decorate her
cloth coat collars, and three or four of
the silk sailor ties so much In demand
