SSsesSCs3 selves the question: lust
"a T@0 what is the Tribune Insti-

H. " n KS The Tribune Institute Is
Stt-=e7CSM primarily a household lab
eSo&5JSc1D2 oratory established for the
use Of the housewife as an advisory and con
emitting bureau on household matters. Its ser
,ic. which is free to all, consists in giving
definite information about efficient, econom-
;csl household utensils and lsbor-saving ap-
chances in the columns Of The New York
Tribune devoted to that purpose and replies
nv letter 70 housewives who request assist
ance IN purchasing kitchen or household equip
-neBt or in the solving of some perplexing
housekeeping problem.
CONFINED KITCHEN AND LABORA-
TORY.
It's laboratory is fitted up not only with
technical testing machinery and instruments
but is also equipped with the ordinary kitchen
furnishings.
There are a standard porcelain sink, sta
tonarv washtub, kitchen cabinet with alumni
mum working top, a cabinet gas range por-
c.lair kitchen table and a circulating water
boiler with gas water heater attached. Also
the usual cooking utensils and small kitchen
eouipment have been provided for preparing
food and performing the cooking processes
for which devices submitted for test are de-
signed.
In fact. each household device or machine
will he put TO the same use as in the home and
the results and observations Of its behavior
viii be carefully noted. These tests will be
conducted by experienced experts who will
carry the investigation much further than the
housewife could do by making an examination
Of the material used in the construction ana
It's probable durability.
Also they will have the advantage OF ia

proper tools in doing the work which is pc
culiarly her own lends some color OF truth to
the accusation that she is a dyed-in-the-wool
conservative and that housekeeping is as yet
far from reaching the standard of efficiency
demanded in any business.
That the same criticism can be made OF that
other piece of kitchen furniture, the sink, Is
cumulative evidence against the ethciency OF
the average housewife No matter how ener
eetic or capable she may be. so long as sht
is content to work with tools like these she
shows that she does not understand the first
principle of efficiency-whch is to obtain
maximum of result with minimum OF effort.
TRAINING THE MANUFACTURER
But the responsibility for such inadequacy
in the kitchen equipment does not rest entirely
upon the woman who uses the utensils. 1t
rests equally upon the manufacturers who de-
sign and make them. Therefore part OF our
work will be to urge these manufacturers 10
adopt as standards heights that practical work
has demonstrated to be the most advantageous.
If your present kitchen equipment is too low
for comfortable working, try raising to the
proper height by placing blocks under the legs
or between the frame and top.
The procedure in the testing of washing
machine will be similar to that followed IN the
home An ordinary family washing will be
done and the time and results noted. For
obvious reasons only a general comparison OF
the wear and tear on the clothes can be made
The design Of the machine, its durability and
simplicitv of construction and operation will
be passed upon Special exclusive features and
attachments for the protection of the operator
or IN. machine will be thoroughly tried out.
WHAT THE INSTITUTE DOES FOR
YOU.
OF course cooking appliances, kitchen uten-
sis, etc. will be treated in 4 similar manner.
To sum up, every household utensil, device or
machine received for testing will be put to the
use for which it is designed and its construc-
ton carefully investigated and probable dur
ability determined. Comparative technical and
practical tests will also be conducted so that
the data obtained will be complete as pos
sible With those machines operated other
than by hand and with apparatus consuming
fuel the power or fuel consumption will be
measured and the cost Of operation computed.
The Tribune Institute exists TO render these
services, without charge, to the readers OF this
newspaper. From time to time descriptions
and illustrations Of tested and approved ar
tcles will be published. The manufacturers

the Talented Editor OF the Almena
PlaindeaIer Gives Colonel Hamilton,
Democratic Editor of the Norton Tele-
gram, Proprietor Of Two Retail Drug
Stores in Norton and Several Else
where, Sound Advice.
The Telegram endeavors to excuse it
self for its insinuations against Benton
on the ground that he is a candidate
for Office. This is no excuse. If the
Telegram knows, or can prove that Mr..
Benton is making an improper use of
money our with it. If the Telegram
merely suspects such to be the case, or
wishes other people to suspect it, the
management is in mighty small buis-
ness to be eternally printing little hints
and digs that are not definite accusa-
tions, but which is intended to create
the impression that Mr.. Benton is at
tempting to buy his way into congress-
and is scattering his money right and
left to that end To make it listen good
Mr.. Benton is banker, and being a re-
publican candidate, it looks like bully
card fot the democrats to play-but we
know, and Col. Hamilton knows there
is absolutely nothing to it. It is politi-
cal CUFF, pure and simple. True, Mr..
Benton's candidacy will cost him some
thing. He will, we infer, pay for his
legitimate expenses. 1t is equally neces-
sary to spend bit of money to make
a congressional campaign, and no fair
minded person viii criticise him for it.
But to intimate without proof or reason
that Mr.. Benton is making a corrupt
use of his money is as objectionable on
the part of the Telegram as would be
the unsupported statement of this news
paper that certain drug stores made
their pile" by violating the prohibition
law. We believe Mr.. Hamilton is in
telligent enough to see the point, and
fair minded enough TO abandon tactics
which are beneath him.-Norton Co.

bought 120 acres of S120 an acre land
two miles from Gravity, Iowa, and put
his dependence in sheep. He never had

game, beginning with thirty Shropshire

has been steadily paying for his farm

has so acres of blue grass on which
he starts them, changed them to the
