the door by three screws and consists of
holder with rubber tipped vertical rod which
can be pushed down or released by the foot.

carpet and has no projections to catch fiutter-
ing garments.

The Universal Alcohol Stove resembles a
small gas plate This little stove is so easy
and safe to operate and SO simple to control
with its stem valve that it should prove very
satisfactory in any home except where cooking
is being done on a large scale 1t is then not
practical and is too expensive fuel. It's eff
cheney is shown by the fact that one quart Of
water was heated in a covered enameled sauce
pan from Is degrees Fahrenheit to 200 degrees
Fahrenheit in ten minutes.
This stove consumes six ounces Of alcohol
an hour. With denatured alcohol at s. cents
a gallon, it costs cents an hour to operate.

w. f. Geyser Dishwasher
Marketed by Western Electric Company, 1o5
West Fortieth Street, New York City

THE dishwashing question literally is all
important, for of all kinds of homework
this takes the most time in the long run.
Also, most housewives are prone to regard it
as one Of the most reentlessly heavy and
monotonous of the white woman's burdens. To
relieve its pressure many housewives have re
sorted to the mechanical dishwasher, with
widely varying degrees Of satisfaction.
ANY real dissatisfaction, however, may prob
ably be attributed to one of two things; either
the work of filing and emptying the washer
counterbalances it's other good points, or the
dishes are not washed clean.
But the Western Electric Geyser Dishwasher
does wash and dry the dishes in the most ap-
proved style. Far fewer dishes are broken or
nicked than when they are washed by hand. The
method by which the machine works may have
something TO do with it, for, contrary to the
usual idea, the trays which hold the dishes do
not revolve, but the water is pumped up
through central tube and is sprayed in many
fine. forceful streams over the dishes.
This dishwasher is so designed that it may
be permanently installed; connected with the
water supply and the drain outlet. and pro-
vided like a sink with faucets and drain boards.
When dishwashing machine can stand what
is known as the egg test, it is worth having.
The plates and silver which were washed in
this device had had more than a bowling ac-
quaintance with egg, but when they were taken
from the machine the most critical observer
could not tell it.
The Western Electric Geyser Dishwasher
has a nickel-plated copper cylinder twenty
three inches in diameter, mounted upon steel

OV c Clothes Line Regulator
Made by S. |. ovici, rs West AID Street, New
York

York
The o V C Clothes Line Regulator, while
a very small device, is extremely useful, for
it permits securely joining the two ends Of a
clothes line without the tying of knots.
1t consists of two specially shaped pieces Of
galvanized metal, so fitted together that two
eyeIets are provided and trigger formed. To
one eyelet the end of the clothes line is tied
and the line strung over the desired hooks or
puleys Then the other end is simply run
through the second eyelet and the complete
circuit made. Now the line is frightened by
pulling on the free end and the more weight
or stronger pull the clothes put on the line the
tighter the holder grips. To loosen or slacken
the line, pull the trigger and the rope slides
through the eyelet. Price, Is cents postpaid.
