II thousand women were asked b

, among the numerous duties Of house
keeping it is fair to assume that disl
washing would receive n safe majority
Day in and day out, three times a day
seven days week the accumulation O
soiled dishes must be disposed Of
Hot, not lukewarm water, is necessary
tto remove the particles of food from
the plates and silverware. After the
housewife has kept her hands in soapy
dishwater raised TO almost scaldinp
temperature and rinsed anC
wiped the dishes, and repeated this
process over and over three times o
day, it is hardly to be wondered al
that so many women have anything
but soft well appearing hands fit for
doing fine needle work, or to show at
the card table or club.
! No Broken Dishes with Electricity
With the appearance of the electric
dish washing machine, however, all
this is changed. No longer is it nee
essary to employ careless hired help
to do the dish washing and break ex-
pensive table ware. Just screw an at
tachment plug into the nearest electric
lamp socket, attach connecting hose
to the hot water faucet, scrape and
place the dishes in the washing cham
ber with washing powder or soap and
turn on the water and electricity. The
hot water fills the washing chamber
and is then shut off. In the meantime
it sprays over the dishes softening the
grease and food and preparing it for
easy removed when the chamber is full
of hot soapy water. The small motor
then starts rocking the washing
chamber, throwing water rapidly
back and forth and allowing to cut the
grease and dirt from every dish, cup
and glass. In Is minutes time and at
cost of less than a cent for electric
ity the dish washing machine will
wash the days accumulation of soiled
dishes with far less risk of breaking
or chipping them than it is possible to
do with the frequent handling involved
in the hand washing process. After
washing, the dish water is drained out
of the washing compartment, and it is
again filled for rinsing off the dishes.
After the rinsing water is drained off
it is unnecessary to wipe the dishes,
for they will dry quickly from the
residual heat retained from the wash |
water.
A Combination Kitchen Table and
Dish Washer
One of the newest models Of electric
dish washers not only "does the
iishes," but at other times when it is
not needed for dish washing it serves
as a kitchen table. The top raises and
overs allowing the dirty dishes to be
,craped and placed out of the way and
,ut of sight in the washing chamber
While the table is being used for pre-
,aring meat and vegetables. This
arrangement overcomes the main OBJ
ection made to having just one dish
a day, the thrifty housewife ;
bjecting to the exhibition of pile |
f dirty dishes accumulating in the :
.itchen sink until time to wash them +,
fter the evening meal. When the .
ast meal has been served, it is only
ecessary to flood the dishes with hot r
