provided for the plates, with basket for the

Liberal application of very hot water, which,
by the way, Immediately flows out of the small
hole in the bottom of the pan, soon leaves the
dishes dry and with a high polish. 1t is a
wise idea to place the drainer on a slightly
sloping surface, so that no water will remain
in the pan and interfere with the complete

We have ascertained from an authority upon
the subject that while cream of tartar is higher
in price than before the war. the increase is
only about 60 per cent. Packages containing a
quarter of q pound are usually sold at Is cents.
The higher price of cream Of tartar is due
to the scarcity of argol, from which it is made
With an attendant increasing cost owing 70
the failure of last years wine crop-which was
only 20 per cent of normal in Europe-adding
to this the difficulty of procuring and the high
cost Of labor, higher ocean freights, war risk
insurance, ETC., the above stated percentage of
increased cost is fully accounted for.
Argol is crystallized deposit which forms
on the inside of casks and other receptacles
in which the juice of the grapes is placed. At
least 80 per cent of the argol produced is inn
ported mostly from France and Italy, and re-
tails at from go to 20 cents a pound, which
seems reasonable under present war conditions.

1t seems odd that we should return to the
old time flint and steel for the latest improve
ment in gas lighters. This little implement
saves time, eliminates danger and does away
with the nuisance of burnt match ends. All

this simple little metal device close to the bur-
ner and give the slight pressure that produces

The device has a spring steel wire handle,
with the round file and sparkling material so
attached to the end that a pressure of the hand
causes the sparkling material to pass over the
fie and produce the spark which lights the gas.

to the housewife whose home is beyond the
reach of electricity and who has not power
engine at hand. This washer produces just as
efficient results as hand rubbing without the
accompanying labor. The tub is made Of cedar
and is mounted upon four wooden legs. The
motor is fastened to the cover and is pro-
vided with two lengths of hose, one of which
is connected to the cold water faucet and
carries the water to the motor, while the other
conducts the passage Of the water from the
motor TO the sink. This stream of cold water
merely runs the motor. The tub is filled with
hot water for the washing by disconnecting the
supply hose from the motor and attaching it to
the hot water faucet.
The brass cylinder is protected by galvanized
iron castings and strainer over the inlet valve
prevents any foreign matter from entering and
clogging the mechanism. The motor has no
coil springs or exposed gears, and operates
upon ordinary city water pressure-forty

This is machine of the dolly" type, in
which the clothes are cleansed by constantly
moving them back and forth in tubful of hot
soapy water. After connection is made the
motor is started merely by opening the faucet.
Heavy blankets or finer and lighter fabrics are
cleansed with equal thoroughness in this
