THE LAST WORD IN AN ELEC-

<eEIEcTRlcAL al appliance" is almost ans s
ciency but the manufacturers are
always aspiring to new heights. Any one who
has ever struggled with hot toaster or hot
ter iron in the conscientious endeavor to break
the circuit at the appliance, as all rules direct,
will find this new button switch applied to the
cord worth many times it's humble price of SO
cents.
If you yield to temptation and turn off the
current at the amp-socket fixture, using the
snap key there is apt to be blowout. An
occurrence of this kind with half-cooked eggs.
or a rarebit in the chafing dish, or ironing half
done, means the sort of super irritating lncon-
venience that comes only from having our mod
ern time savers betray US just when we have
come to trust them implicitly. A blown fuse
in the midst of cooking, ironing or cleaning
campaign is in the same class with broken
down motor twenty miles from nowhere, or
telephone that fails to work when we reach
out for it in an emergency
These mishaps are usually fault,
due to ignorance or neglect of these faithful
mechanical servants. The lamp socket switch
is not designed to control the current used by
appliances 1t is meant to be used only for
turning off the light, and so unless you have
socket plug of the separable type "a device in
two parts, one of which screws into the socket
while the cord half plugs into the socket end)
there is no escape from the struggle with the
connection at the hot appliance.
TIE CHI Seventy Fifty Switch wipes out ever
this slight inconvenience. 1t is only n by 2A
inches in size, and consists of an inclosing case
of insulating material with two push buttons
one white and the other black 1t is very easily
applied and can be used with any electrical ap-
plance. All that is necessary to attach it to
the cord is to remove the screws holding the
two parts Of the case together, cut one of the
wires of the cord, and attach the cut ends to
the two terminal screws found at the two ends
of the switch. AS the capacity of the switch is
750 watts g amperes at ESQ volts, or at 1876
volts) it may be applied to any lamp socket
device.
The switch can be attached to the cord at
any convenient point, which makes it especially
adaptable for table cooking appliances.
Perhaps it's most important use is with the
electric iron, as in this case the current must
frequently be turned on and off. The length of
time that the iron holds the heat varies with
the material worked upon, and too often the
iron is allowed to get too cold or too hot be-

The Arcade Grisf Mill reduces rice and bar
ley to a fine flour excellent for breads and
other bakings. Only one grinding is neces-
sary.
Though both disk grinders, the geared
crank shaft of the Corona Corn Mill makes
the turning somewhat easier.
The grain passes between the two disk grind
ers one of which remains stationary while the
other revolves, and the space separating them
can be adjusted to vary the degree of fineness
in the resulting flour.
The Arcade Grist Mill Gig. No. 4) has a
square hopper and is made of cast iron fin
ished in dark brown enamel. A thumb screw
at the back of the machine adjusts the grind
ers and nut locks the setting so that it can
not change during the grinding. In this mill
corn, rice and barley can be reduced to flour

Grinding the Whole Grains at Home

Buying flour is complicated matter nova
days, and some of the substitutes, especially
rice and barley flour, cost considerably more
thar the grains themselves. These two flours
mixed with wheat give bread that is at once
white, delicate and patriotic for those mis-
guided adults who cannot bear to look upon
the bread when it is brown. The rolled oat
flour also is of the best of substitutes 1t
is hard to get at any price, and costs usually
cents more a pound than when the rolled
oats are bought in bulk.
Besides these special cases a mill in the
home means that you can grind any grain and
get it's full value. All the bran of the wheat
and all the fatty germ of the corn are yours
if you are your own miller. The labor is not
excessive if you have the right kind of mill
The two mills shown are similar in type,
but differ slightly in their finish and construc-
ton, which accounts for the difference in price.

cause of the inconvenience of breaking the con-
nectlon. All these troubles roll away when
this simple little button switch is applied to
the cord within easy reach Of the hand. Press
uce on the light colored button allows the cur
rent to flow, and the black button turns it off.
This device not only saves the operator in
convenience, delay and mental anguish, but it
prolongs the life Of the faithful appliance, be-
cause there is no sparkling at the appliance

BIG SEA FIGHT IS PREDICTED
Naval Engagement May Supplement
Offensive On Land When Allies
Are Ready to Strike.

Washington, April 10.-Pressure for
naval offensive to supplement the
cost of the battle on the west front
lines is manifested in army and navy
quarters today.
There are those among the navy
officials who predict that there will be
great aggressive sea action and that
it will come before July /, but they
venture not to forecast its magnitude.
Such were the view points enter.
tanned here today in that America is
supplementing the British navy with
patrol shops, submarines, destroyers
and in fact all types of naval crafts.
One official whose insight of naval
affairs are recognized has keeniy ex-
pressed the views that the allied
navy would attempt stroke at Zee

Britain cannot afford to make any
big gambol however" he declared.
She has kept the seas clear with her
navy and it is true If it were not for
her great and powerful navy Germany
would now be master of the seas. In
such circumstances she cannot afford
to well risk her vessels. But you can
look for some real action before July

GOVERNMENT TAKES CONTROL
OF Factory Work To Insure Right OF
Way For War Material Orders
and Output.

Washington, April 10.--The govern.
ment's policy towards the nations
industry was established today with
the completion of a new priority or
der by the war industry board.
The purpose OF The order provides
for the conservation of fuel and raw
materials by the present industries
in their order relative to their import
ance for the aiding and preventing
conflicting interests among the vari-
Gus departments in the war govern,
ment and to speed up the production
of ships for transportation
The action by the government prac-
tically places the country's business
under federal control.
Some Lines Already Reduced.
Recently musical instrument man
ufacturers agreed u iedpce their pro
duction of such instruments by 80
per cent.
Conferences between the war indus
try boards and other manufacturers
have been going on for some time to
bring about a general reduction in
all outputs in order to give war work
the right-of-way.
Automobile and candy manufactur
ers are hit by the new ruling as the
order makes no provision for the use
of coal and transportation facilities
until all vital needs have been sup
piled.
This ruling does not apply to those
portions of the plants engaged on
special work for which fuel provis-
ions are made.

A BOLD STRIKE
IN WORLDS WAR
LLOYD GEORGE LINKS HOME
RULE TO CONSUMPTION
is THE ONE Big TOPIC TODAY
England and America Accept The Hun
Challenge. British Age Limit
Raised to Fifty Years. Irish
Issue is Forced.

London. April 1O.-David LLOYD
George, the British prime minister,
made the boldest stroke of his career
by coupling home rule for Ireland with
the CONSUMPTION of Irishmen
This unexpected disclosure in an adj
dress by the premier in the house of
commons in presenting the new con-
scription bill to parliament swept
aside all interest in the details of the
conscription scheme whoch already
had been forecast by the newspapers.
Ireland is the only subject talked
about today. The only question asked
is how will the Irish parties and their
British sympathizers take to the new
policy.
London Press Comment
London, April 10. The London
Press for the most part raised Premier
David Lloyd Georges courage in his
demanding of the Irish conscription
They hold that 1t is need of jus.
tice and though ireland is belated they
want her to pay part of the cost for
worlds freedom.
They realize that the enforcement
of conscription in Ireland is fraught
with the possibility of serious ma
ture which seems to be a desire for a
show down.
There is confidence that such organ
ization of resistance in Ireland would
be defeated because they believe that
such resistance would not represent
all Ireland's opinion but merely the
fragments which respond to the OBJ
structiveness of politicians
After all 1t is held by the London
Press that it Is the Governments duty
to enforce all measure for the ,countrys
stfety upon an subjects.

BY Robert J. Benders, Washington,
April f0.--With Germany stalking her
all on the Western offensive the al
jhes and America have answered to-
day that they to will stake their al!
and do it now.
That was the view Washington
took today on Lloyd Georges speech
following President Wilson's force
address and his pledge to double quick
ly the sending of American forces
abroad.
The crisis came home today with
full force from England, raising the
military age to fifty years and the
probability of conscripting lrishmen.
Wilson Points Way.
President Wilson cleared the way
by sidetracking the idea of political
offensive against Austria Hungary ana
by declaring that hereafter unstlnteu
force will be Americas roll.
Lloyd George, authorities pointed
out started his political career when
he forced the CONSUMPTION on the irish
issue.
The shunting of General Gouch'
leader of the beaten fifth British Army
plus the appointment of General Foen'
as a chief of staff in connection win
the Versailles council meeting, all re,
