Bubbles" Saved in
Bottli]g Chalnpagnes

In the ageing and clearing Of wines
electricity plays most important
part. AS may not be generally known
considerable sediment forms in the
process of ageing wines made from
the grape.
In the case of still wines the pro-
cess can be carried on in casks and the
clear wine decanted off, but in the
sparkling wines the treatment must
be done in bottles. This involved not
only considerable skill in handling
but there was often loss Of bubbles.
This is now all changed. The bot
ties are placed in racks neck down and
at various stages of ageing, they are
transferred to electrical refrigeratine
machines, which freeze the dense LID
uid next to the cork. This is then
scraped out and the cork replaced. A
better product at far less cost is thus
secured.

Chicken
And Egg Markets Are Now
Sought by Italy, Announces
a Consul.

United States Consul W. F. Kelly
reports to the department of COM
MERGE from Rome. Italy, the decision
of combined civic and private asso-
Citations to adopt scientific poultry
raising and egg production in Italy.
1t is planned, by adopting electrical
methods, to bring the Italian produc-
ton of eggs and poultry up to $780,
100000 a year.
At present the export of these pro-
ducts from Italy is prohibited but it
is proposed to organize poultry So
cieties throughout Italy, which will
enable this country to become one Of
the principal egg and poultry pro-
ducing nations Of Europe, so that Italy
may enter the worlds markets at the
conclusion of peace.
The plan opens up large market
in Italy for electrical incubators,
coops, breeders and for various poul-
try appliances and supplies.

PLAN TOLICHT UP
STATUE OF LIBERTY
Suggested that Children Give
One Penny Each to lllu-
inmate Goddess.

That beacon light to the western
world, the Statue Of Liberty, which
since 1886 has guarded the harbor of
New York, is to get bright new coat
Of gold, according to present plans,
to take the place OF the time given
gown Of green which some art sharks
have described as the precious ava
tar of the antique" but whichin plain
everyday lingo is thirty year ac-
emulation OF dust and dirt.
While much has been said about
liberty enlightening the worlds new
coat nothing has been done In regard
to undermining the great statue
through more adequate night illumi-
nation. Such certainly would be in
line with modern ideas
The torch held in the right hand
has of course been illuminated, but
even that illumination Is not always
in evidence. Let the entire statue be
adequate illuminated, so that the en-
tire figure. 151 feet high, will stand
out as majestically by night as by
day.
Put to work the country's expert
illuminating engineers on the prob
lem Of lighting the Statue OF Liberty
and let the new statue reflect through
their work the new spirit Of American
patriotism" suggests the signs Of the
times.
"As through popular subscription
America thirty years ago built the
great granite pedestal upon which to
rest this gift from sister republic, so
given the school children Of today an
opportunity to contribute penny each
toward fund to illuminate adequate
~ the statue for a generation"
The statue, designed to commence
rate the hundredth anniversary Of
American independence, was present
ed to the people of this country by the
citizens of France. 1t was placed in
position in 1885 and unveiled in 1886.
1t is of bronze, the work OF the French
sculptor Bartholdi, and represents a
woman holding aloft in her right hand
an Illuminated torch. The statue is
ISL feet in height, resting upon a
granite pedestal 1855 feet high, on Lib
erty island in New York harbor.
The Bartholdi Statue Of Liberty was
dedicated to the friendship of nations
and the peace OF the world.

MEATS LOSE LITTLE
IN ELECTRIC RANGE
Many Other Advantages Of
This Kind of Stove Are
Told About.

Dickens described dishes in a way
that makes his readers hungry. We're
he living now, he would have to tax
his skill to give an adequate pen pic
ture of an electrically cooked dinner
but he would surely use the words:
sweet, clean, free from ashes, SCOT,
dust and smoke, untainted by gases
and fumes Of combustion"
Electric ranges are made now that
are as efficient as a superdreadnaught
and as satisfactory in appearance as
blue and white breakfast china. An
up to the minute housewife in Indiana
writes that a little care goes far to-
wards making electric cooking rea-
sonable in cost.
Meats lose heavily in cooking"
Madam Housekeeper explains in her
letter, especially in ordinary ovens.
Many records show that the average
loss in a gas oven is about one-third.
In my new electric stove, the loss is
but one-tenth, because the globe oven
is air tight, and because there is no
fire to draw the juiciness from the
meat.
This amounts to good sized item
in even a ten pound roast at, say,
thirty cents pound. In the old ovens
a ten pound roast lost three and one
third pounds-almost a dollars worth
OF meat. In the electric globe oven
the loss is less than one pound. The
saving on every ten pounds Of meat
at thirty cents a pound soon counts
up, as it amounts to at least a fifth
of your present meat bills.
Better still, electrically roasted
meat is sweeter, juicier and more
nicely Drowned. Steaks and chops

ELECTRICAL FLAT
Refrigerators and Ranges Are
in the Equipment Of New
Apartments.

Modern apartment houses, which de-
pend entirely on electricity for cook
ing, are now being built. In each OF
the ninety-five apartments in Carleton
Court, Buffalo, N. Y, the owner has
installed an electric range for the ten
ants.
Each apartment is further equip
ped with an electrically operated re-
frigerator, so that electric service in
cludes heat. cooking and refrigeration
as well as light.
To anyone familiar with apartment
life, IT Is pleasant to think that this
equipment dispenses with the neces-
sity of placing the family food in the
refrigerator with ice that has been
delivered on the dumbwaiter that is
daily used for handling the garbage
can.

ELECTRIC RANGES
Find a Good Market in the An
tipodes, Says United
States Consul.

In the cities Of Australia where
electricity is available, growing mar
ket for. electric stoves Is announced
by United States Consul W. G. Downs.
The heat concentration of the cleo
trio range makes 1t particularly suit
able for Australia, which corresponds
in latitude to section bounded on
the north by Washington. D. c., and
on the south by Costa Rica, Central
America.
Over one-third of Australia is with
in the tropics and no very cold wealth
err is experienced. The electric range
enables the Australians to use heat
sparingly and advantageously.
