no means to be despised even in the midst OF
modern conveniences.
The Universal Alcohol Stoves have proven
most satisfactory for cooking When one
aspires to real baking the two-burner stove is
especially efficient, for it is large enough to
accommodate two-burner oven. When 1t is
not baking it will boil coffee and cook bacon
and eggs all at the same time a versatility
which nsures great popularity around break
fast time.
The stove is provided with wickless
gravity feed burner which changes the de-
natured alcohol into gas and burns with hot
blue flame. The supply tank holder, which is
protected from the heat by metal apron At
the back of the stove, will hold two quarts OF
alcohol. enough to keep the stove burning
steadily for several hours without reflling.
To operate both burners costs cents an hour

Western Electric Iron
Marketed by the Western Electric Co., los West
Fortieth Street, New York, N. 7.


Since the terrors of washing day have been
dissipated by the advent Of the washing ma
chine the main burden of dealing with the
family laundry has been transferred to- IRON
ing day. Done in the old-fashioned way, iron
ing cannot be made other than tiresome and
disagreeable task involving aching feet and
generally overheated and uncomfortable con-
dition.
A self-heating electric iron completely dis
poses of one-half of this discomfort, and the
high stool with the ironing board eliminates
the rest. With an electric iron there is no
necessity for walking back and forth to the
stove; therefore, the irOner may sit at the
board without hampering in any way the
speed or efficiency of the work. Moreover, the
heat Of the iron is steady, and can easily be
kept under control by attaching or disconnect-
ing the current at need
The Western Electric Iron is graceful in
shape well balanced and we'll constructed 1t
weighs six pounds, has polished nickel-plated
base and hood, with an ebonized wood handle
which keeps cool and is comfortable for the
hand without the use of holder.

Hot Point Safety Comic Flexible Electric
Hot Pad
Made by Hotpoint Electric Heating Co, Chicago

A flexible metal sheathed electric heating
pad comes pretty close to satisfying all re-
qurements The unyielding metal pad is open
to precisely the same objection as the alumi-
mum hot water bottle, in that it refuses to
accommodate its shape to the needs of the
person using it. This matter Of pliablllty Is
so important to the person who depends upon
a hot water bottle or heating pad that many
have preferred to take chance on the I'M
certain rubber bag.
The metal hot water bottle is unquestionably
safe and durable. The same properties are
inherent in this particular electric hot pad.
The heating element is entirely inclosed and
protected by polished steel case so hinged
that it is almost as flexible as the unenclosed
coiled wire heating element Of the usual cleo

consequence, the house is kept so clean all the
time that it never has to be Cleaned"
Only the most obstinately conservative Of
women cling to the broom. 1t is excellent for
removing dirt, but not exactly efficacious when
il comes to disposing of it. With vacuum
cleaner every intrusive grain or shred Of
dust and dirt is neatly extracted from floors,
drsperies and clothing and deposited in bag,
from which it escapes only to be cremated or
otherwise eliminated for good and all.
The chief objection urged by the housewife
against the vacuum cleaner has been that ITS
size and weight rendered it difficult for
woman to operate, but this objection has been
entirely abolished by the entrance into the
market of the small portable machine which
runs back and forth over the floor like car
