White Mop Wringer
Made by the White Mop Wringer Company,
Fultonvie, NJ Y.

Nothing in the whole range Of housekeeping
duties is more comprehensive and thorough in
its disagreeableness than wringng a mop by
hand. The water is always muddy as well as
soapy, and the housewife who is rash enough
to attack the mop bare-handed is assured not
only of strained muscles, but of palms and fin
gers that feel like desiccated shark skin.
Therefore we advise anybody who yields
mop to invest in White Mop Wringer. II fits
any size and kind of pail. does not need fasten-
ing, and comes in different styles that are fitted
to wiring fiat or round mops, as the case may
be. No pulling or lifting is necessary, as
simple pressure upon the hand lever brings the
front and back together, wringing the mop
quickly and thoroughly.
This wringer for family use is made in four

Walker Hand Dishwasher
Made by the Walker Brothers Company, SYRIA
cuse, NJ. Y.

This dishwasher is very much the same as
the Walker Electric Dishwasher, illustrated
and described on this page in the issue of DC
tober 15-except that it is run by hand, in
stead of by electricity.
1t is an entirely practical labor-savng ma
chine which quickly and thoroughly washes
rinses and sterilizes china, glassware and silver
without danger Of breakage or damage.
The heavy metal container is either mounted
upon three-legged steel portable base or
equipped with wall support brackets, which
make it a permanent fixture in the kitchen.
This is the more desirable form of the two, as
it enables permanent connection with the water
supply and drain, so that the lifting and carry
ing Of water-always heavy item in kitchen
works eliminated.
In the bottom Of the container a single bladed
metal dasher is revolved back and forth by the
hand lever which is placed at one side. Above
this dasher are two circular wire trays for

STYLES, differing somewhat in construction and
design. Number was the style tested in The
Tribune Institute. 1t has malleabe iron side
frames, leverage mechanism and coppered steel
wire springs. The front back and bottom are
made of hardwood and the weight of the entire
contrivance is seven and half pounds.
The Tribune Institute test found that the
wringer was made of durable materials and
operates easily. While STOPPING over the mop
is not entirely eliminated, this wringer will
prove most practical for the housewife because
of its simplicity efficiency and convenience.

Thermos Therduc Lunch Kit, No. 22O
Made by the American Thermos Bottle Com
pany, 1887 West 31st Street, New York City

Made by the American Thermos Bottle Com
pany, 1857 West 3I.t Street New York City.
The question of hot appetizing nourishng
lunch for school boys and girls is settled by
this convenient luncheon kit, which is compact,
good-looking and easy to carry.
In shape and appearance it is like small
black leather suit case, with leather hanole
and nickel plated catch and corners. This case
contains No. 10 Thermos Bottle and TIN
lunch box with hinged covers. The thermos
bottle. which has a corrugated, seamless nickel
case with cork and screw cap, holds one pint OF
liquid. which will keep hot for twenty-tour
hours or cold for seventy-two hours.
The lunch box is so constructed that it is easy
to keep it clean and sweet. 1t will hold sand
wiches. cake or any luncheon dish that can con-
veniently be packed.
The great advantage Of the kit is that 1t In
cludes in one container the lunch box and Their
mos bottle 1t is hard to make a child who
hates to carry things see the advisablllty OF
taking along a bottle in addition to the lunch
box. merely for the advantage of having at
noontime pint of hot broth, beef tea, cocoa or
soup. all of which are vitality necessary to
child's wcnbeing in the cold weather. In the
warmer months it is equally important for the
child to be able to take to school milk, iced
cocoa. grape juice, lemonade, or even pure
spring water. Hitherto the difficulty of provid-
ine liquid foods or wholesome drink has been
felt by every careful mother whose children
take their lunch to school, so the Thermos
Therduc Lunch Kit is an innovation that will
DC likely to prove most welcome.
The case measures s by II by inches. The

After he had acquired all tho leaves
that had been thrown into the cage he
gathered the whole supply together into
a pile and sat on top of the pile. Then
he ate all that he wanted-and perhaps
more than he wanted. He did not eat

things worth having. There wasn't
