found particularly good and at the

bans of halibut (prepared by The New
York Tribune Institute, at the Electro
cal Show, are very simply made, even
by one not skilled In culinary lore. In
preparing, however, both Goldfish and
halibut the housekeeper should be gen

of fish have very little natural fat or

Suspended in the tub is a perforated zinc
cylinder which is revoved by the motor, first
in one direction and then in the other. The
soiled clothes are placed inside of the cylinder
and the tub filled to the water line with boil

cylinder souse the clothes back and forth and
up and down in the hot soapy suds until they
are thoroughly cleaned.
Another ingenious feature is a glass-covered
opening in the side of the tub, which shows the
water line and so prevents the over-flling of
the tub.

The Garden Sink Rack is intended to be
placed above the sink or in any other desired
spot and provides happy home for the smaller
kitchen utensils, such as brushes, egg beater,
tunnels and measuring cups.
It is made of six strips of white enamelied
wood, arranged in the form of cross-bar
rack measuring fifteen inches high and twenty
four inches wide The rack is fastened to the
wall by wire nails and the middle cross bar
strip, which is adjustable is held to the verti-
cal strips by three combination hooks and
holders. There are sixteen adjustable hooks
on the cross bar strips. All the hooks are
made of timed wire.
The Garden Saucepan Rack, which is also
adjustable is designed to fit on the inside OF
the pantry door and has a seemingly I'M
limited capacity for holding pots and pans and
covers, as well as smaller utensils.
This adjustable rack is made of thirteen
strips of white enamelled wood arranged like
the other, in the form of a cross bar rack. The
rack can be set up in two sections, each meas

In the case of the Eden Electric Washing
and Wringing Machine, this objection is re-
moved by device which automatically breaks
the mechanical connection with the motor the
moment any obstruction makes Itself felt.
Another provision for safety is the complete
enclosure of the mechanism, including the
motor. These two precautions make it almost
impossible for even the most laundering

SIDE the control lever of the wrnger being
entirely distinct from that of the cylinder, so
that the cylinder and wringer may be run
separately or both at the same time.
The cylinder is easily removed for cleaning.
This is necessary, because soapy water will in
time produce an unpleasant coating over the
zinc After each using the cylinder should be
removed, rinsed off and wiped dry, and the
same treatment given the tub.
On basis of 10 cents per kilowatt hour the
cost of operating this machine is from i to
