Efficiency: These Derices
+ Tighten HouseaUorh:


ls~a ncuce without longer heating of the
kitchen or any heating of furnace, and
with the coal supply as uncertain as 1T
is, it is a very comfortable thing to know
that the gas heater is there for emergen-
ces. This particular heater (the Law
SON. Gas Water Heater No. 22) is eco
nomical because no gas is wasted, though
it is not automatic and must be lighted
by hand. The initial cost is relatively
small and the small amount of space that
1t takes up makes it convenient appa-
ratus for the small house.
This model is suitable for the average
household since it is designed for con-
nection with forty or fifty gallon
boiler. 1t has a black japanned cast
iron jacket inclosing twenty feet of
three-quarter inch copper tubing, ar
ranged in double coil, with radial gas
burner mounted beneath.
The front half of the jacket forms
hinged door which permits easy acces;
to the coils and burner.
In tests this heater was connected with
thirtygallon galvanized boiler, and
with the burner on full heated fivesgal-
Ions of water to an average temperature
of 1875 degrees F. in ten minutes, while
to heat ten gallons to 1876 degrees F.. re-
CURED fifteen minutes, The former is
sufficient for washing dishes, while the
latter, mixed with cold water, would be
ample for bath. The entire contents
of the boiler were heated to an average
temperature Of 157 degrees F. in one
hour and ten minutes. The burner con-
sumes gas at the rate of fifty cubic feet
per hour. With gas at one dollar per
thousand cubic feet, the cost of oper-
alton would be cents per hour.

=, individual Lunch Box for School
DAYS or Picnics

The Hotakold Lunch Case is equally
ready to go to school, to take Gross
country walk, or to start on an automo-
bile trip, but its size, ccnpactness and
light weight make it especially fit for
the walker or school child. Empty, the
case, including the vacuum bottle, weighs
only pounds 51a ounces. With the
bottle filled with liquid and the venti-
lated sandwich space filled with bread
and fruit it weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces.
The case comes either in satchel form
with side clasps and handle on the
long side (the vacuum bottle being neat
ly strapped in the hollow Of the round
ing cover), or is made in a rectangular
shape with the handle on the short end.
The vacuum bottle has an aluminium
cover with folding handles, which can be
transformed quickly into perfect drink
ing cup when the bottle is opened.
From it's appearance no one would
ever accuse the case Of being a lunch
box, as it is made entirely of metal and
green enamelled to initiate leather.
1t is almost impossible to furnish the
school child with an appetizing luncheon
If it must be always cold and entirely
solid. The vacuum bottle makes posi-
BILE cool drink, two glasses of milk, or
two cups of any appetizing and nutri-
tious soup. The cup custard or the piece
OF fruit can travel safely in the venti-
lated comma rtYnent with tho CO rdxp;oh ~
bread and butter.
Any pedestrian who has ever travelled
with vacuum bottle strapped to waist
or shoulder will appreciate this compact
case, which supplies all vital needs, but
is neither large nor heavy enough to be
obtrusive.

and containing three-stage turbine fan
attached to the single vertical shaft of
the motor. Above the fan is supported
the cloth dust bag and the cover which
clamps tightly into the case has a single
tube opening to which the extension rub
Der hose is attached.
To the end of this hose the metallic
tubular rod handle and cleaning tools
are attached, and the motor revolving the
fans causes the air to be drawn in
through this base. The strong suction
thereby created gathers up the embedded
as we'll as the surface dirt in the carpet
and deposits it in the dust bag on its
way to the fan. An opening below the
fans permits the clean air to be dis
charged from the machine. In this man
ner continuous suction is maintained
as long as the motor is in operation.
The cleaner weighs forty-eght pounds
and may be divided into two parts for
more ease in carrying. 1t is quiet in
operation, easy to use, and the dust bag
Is readily removed for emptying. The
machine is equipped with either direct
current OF an alternating current motor
and the cost of operation from a lamp
socket at 10 cents per kilowatt hour is
about 5 cents per hour.
"A very complete set of attachments
which permit cleaning walls, draperies,
upholstered furniture, etc, is furnished
with the cleaner.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
YOU CAN BRING BACK COLOR
AND BUSTRE WITH SAGE
TEA AND SULPHUR

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. For so cents you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, called "Wyeth'a
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair. taking one small strand at a
time. By morning all gray hair dis
appears, and, after another applica-
tion or two. your hair becomes beau
tifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray. faded hair. though no dis
grace, is n sign of old age, and we all
desire a youthful and attractive ap-
pearance, get busy with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound and look
years younger. This ready-to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet re-
quisite and not medicine. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention or disease.

TyP!STS ARMY IN
WASHINGTON GROWS

WASHINGTON, Jan. M.-There is
today in the City of Washington in
active operation an army whose ex-
ploits attract little notice, but whose
members are doing a very large "bit"
toward winning the war for America
an army of stenographers and typists,
twelve thousand strong, recruited
from every state in the Union. A ma
jority of these soldiers of the note
book and typewriter are girls. Day
IN ard day out their nimble fingers
faithfully click out the tremendous
volume of correspondence and records
required by q great nntion at war.
They wear no badge nor uniform;
there work is all work and has no
thrills nor romance: but the United
States could not stay in the war
month without them.
The rapidly expanding departments
Of the Govern ment in Washington en-
ploy stenographers and typists with
greed that seems Unsuitable. The Unit
ed States Civil! Service Commission es-
Inmates that there will be twenty
thousand Government employees of this
class in Washington at the end of this
year. Owing to the general demand
the Commission is finding it difficult
task to meet the calls of the depart
ments Examinations are held every
Tuesday in $50 cities, and the commits
sion states that an examination will
be held in any city at any time, day
or night whe- there is prospect of
assembling class of three or four
competitors. Eligibility may be OBJ
tanned through passing an examina-
ton in practical tests in shorthand
and typewriting. 1t is practicable to
complete such an examination in one
hour. Representatives of the Civil
Service Commission at the post offices
in all cities are furnishing definite
information to persons interested.

The Telephone Girl

Just take off your hat to the telephone
girl,
With a soft gentle voice and a cute
little curl,
She never gets mad and smiles when
you CuSS
AS you ask for her help to clear up
muss.
She sees all the jokes and knows all
your pain,
When she don't get your party she'll
try it again,
She smiles at your madness and
grins when you yell,
And when you have secrets you bet
she won't tell
So give her crown for her equal is
rare,
When the books are all balanced and
everything fair
She ought to be given a white pair
of wings,
And placed in the choir where every
one sings.
L. A. Handley
