WHAT ELECTRICITY WILL DO

Every day, seemingly, we read of
some new application of electricity in
the home. The number of household
tasks turned over to electricity in the
past few years is astonishing. An en-
gineer of the General Electric Com
pany has prepared the following list of
household applications of electricity
which is truly astonishing:
Furnish illumination for the house.
Heat water for shaving, Dr. the bath.
Percolate the breakfast coffee.
Toast bread.
Fry eggs or anything that will fry.
Operate the sewing machine.
Iron the clothes.
Make the tea in a samovar.
Cook food in a chatting dish.
Curl a woman's hair.
Dry a woman's hair.
Heat the bath room or other rooms
on cool mornings.
Lift or lower dumb walters.

beneficial results.-Sioux Falls Press.
The plan adopted by Sioux Falls
should prove of benefit to merchants
and to legitimate printing enterprises
as well. There can be no possible
doubt that the merchant, who is quite
keen to perceive the weaknesses OF
persons who get stlng on cheap mail
order goods when they can purchase
good merchandise at decent prices at
home, is quite as often 'stung' by
various advertising gratis" conduct
ed by persons who are more interest
ed in making easy money than they
are in giving the advertiser value re-
ceived for his investment. "Adver-
Using pays" all right, but 1t isn't
every advertisement that pays, and
the medium in which the advertise
ment appears should be given careful
consideration. The Sioux Falls idea
should help some in saving the money
of merchants who are prone to fall for
every proposition that comes along
outside Of legitimate newspaper pub
licity.-Aberdeen Daily News.
