THE TOASTfR STOVES MISSION
The Use Of This Appliance Is Great
Convenience.

Fresh, crisp, golden-brown toast
Does it not convey pleasing sugges-
ton to the palate? Is there any other
form in which bread is served that will
equal it? Is there anything that gives
as much tone to any meal, for toast
appears in so many forms and has he
come the necessary accompaniment Of
so many delicious dishes, we could
hardly do without it. To make toast in
the dining room on the table SO that it
can be served fresh and crisp is my
mission.
My name is electric toaster-stove.
might be taken for five-pound candy
box if | were not made of metal, fin
ished in highly polished nickel and did
not have four legs and mouth. My
place is right on the breakfast table
close to the lady of the house. A warm
friendship soon grows up between us
and from the time ! make my first APP
pearance at the table my position is
assured She takes pride in having
the meal served in it's best form and
when she discovers how well | pre-
pare the important part for which
am responsible and how little of her
attention | require, she finds me in
dispensable. She likes to have me on
the table, because it is as great a
pleasure for her to serve the good, hot
toast that l make, as it is for other
members of the family to eat it.
My important feature-my reason
for eXistence-is my electric heating
element This is just series of metal
strips that give off heat when the cur
rent flows. The lady puts cord from
an electric outlet into my mouth and
before she knows it, I'm hot-just hot
enough to make perfect toast.

day to sewing, because of the press of
other housework. 1t is important that
the sewing machine be in excellent
running order, and where it is driven
by an electric motor it will sew faster
and better and give the operator a
chance to do better work with her
hands and head
1t looks easy to see woman guild
ing the cloth under the needle and
pedaling the machine at top speed,
but, in reality, it is weary work and
sure to tire one out very quickly. A
quarter of cent an hour is so cheap
that it hardly pays to pedal sewing
machine at all if there is any large
amount of sewing to be done.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
Electricity on Farms Important Pres.
ent Day Development.

The rapidly increasing use of cleo.
! tricity in agriculture is one of the
most important developments now
taking place in this country. The ben
efits which will result will not alone
affect the farmer, but, greatly increas-
ing the agricultural output, will be OF
vast consequence to the city dweller.
A motor of even diminuative size
does the work of a man at far less ex-
pense, while larger units economically
supplant farm draft animals, whose
consumption of farm produce is Of it.
self an enormous item. Thus in sup
planting labor, electricity has a most
profound effect upon agriculture
since agriculture demands great
amount of labor as compared with the
skill involved.
The. use of electricity for light, heat
and power, it being the only medium
so adaptable, means far more than the
mere saving and convenience, for it
has the effect of making hours Of la
Dor on the farm uniform and so re-
duces the drudgery that farm life be-
comes sufficiently attractive to STAY
the drift to the cities.
The electrification of farms is being
greatly stimulated by the practice OF
central station companies in running
feed branches to the farms from their
main transmission systems; and by u
greater attention to the subject on the
part of consulting engineers who arc
placed to the best advantage to ad-
wise the farmer of the kind of machin-
cry and equipment which will give him
the most economical results.
Electric farming is long past the ex-
perimental stage, and the farmer to-
day who is not alive to it's advantages
is losing money.-Frank Rooster.

GROOM|NG,IHE HORSE
New Use for the Vacuum
Cleaner.

A reader of this magazine after hav-
ing experimental with several differ
ent machines for grooming a horse
has settled upon the vacuum cleaner
as the most practicable. A currycomb
and brush will only take the larger
particles of dirt and dust and the
smaller particles cannot be brushed
out. The operation of the machine for
this purpose is simple, all the work
required being to hold the nozzle of
the cleaner about an inch rom the
horses hide. If the nozzle of the
cleaner is held too close it will cause
an uncomfortable pulling of the hair
When the horse is covered with thick
meavy mud, a curry-comb must be
used to break it up little.-Electric

ELECTRIC VULCANIzFR
Auto Tires Mended Easily With This
Invention.

An electrically-heat valcanizer for
either the inner tube or the casing OF
automobile or motorcycle tires has re-
Gently been developed. The vulcanizer
consists Of an electrically heated vul-
canizing clamp for holding the tire in
position and small rheastat for regu-
latlng the amount of current Tire re-
pairs can be made in the minimum of
time and with very little expense. The
work can be done by anyone and there
is no danger of injuring the tire.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY

By Z. j. Edwards
One OF the sblest representatives

One OF the eblest representatives
in Congress IN the early eighties was
Ambrose A. Ranney. who represented
one OF the Boston districts In the low
er house. He went TO Washington
with an established reputation as a
brilliant and very successful lawyer.
Some OF those who had intimate &C.
quaintance with him reported that in
addition to his legal knowledge. which
was profound. he had made through
all his mature life q thorough study
OF the great American orators. so
that he was familiar not only with
their personalities and careers. but
also with the methods adopted by
them in order to attain perfection as
speakers.
asked Mr.. Ranney how he rated
Charles Sumner.
Sumner would have been a greater
orator IL ne had not been always too
serious" he replied. He was ire

power OF reading into the inner ma

was able fully to understand Charles

THE woRKMAN's COMPENSATION
ACT.

As Will be seen from an interesting
news item In another column OF The
Intelligencer this morning. practically
all the casualty companies that have
been doing business In West Virginia
have sent out notices cancelling their
casualty policies as OF date October
LIST. This action Is the logical result
OF the passage OF the workman's com.
pensation act, which IL TO become ef-
fective October LIST. From the state
ment OF one well informed. IL appear.
that the casualty companies OF this
State have for years received about
100000 in premiums from the en-
ployers of labor. In return for this
sum they have. as a rule. insured the
employers OF labor against claims for
damages resulting from injuries In en-
ployment All OF this large business
is wiped out. and hereafter employers
OF labor will pay their assessments di-
rectly TO the state. and the State.
through the medium o: the Public Utn.
ities Commission. will adjust the
claims resulting from injuries.
The change Is one OF tremendous
Importance. and radical in its charac.
ter. II is one OF the many pieces OF
legislation which mark the rapid de-
velopment OF our industrial system.
Twenty years ago this State would
have had no use for a workman's com.
