To prevent such accidents many

with "fuse-nuts These melt when
the article becomes overheated, and
automatically shut off the current.

danger
Another common malpra ctice is TO
overload a socket. For example. two
or three appliances-like a percO-
later and a toaster and a boiler
may be connected on the same cir
cult. This Overloads the circuit and
may result in a blowing out of fuses.
If YOU want 10 use two or three
electric appliances at the same time

BE careful in using the electric
heating pad always TO keep it abso-

pad before putting it away after use.
This may damage il seriously. In

Kitchen Economies

HOW TO USE ELECTRICAL AP-
PMANCES CORRECTLY.

Because electric appliances-like
irons. coasters and so forth-are so
simple in operation many persons
overlook the fact that they are aft
er all. somewhat delicately adjusted
mechanisms, and need careful
watching.
In fact, anything that consumes
heat either electrical or some va
riety of open flame, necessarily must
involve Iooking after and intelligent
adjusting Just because the heat sup
piled by electricity isn't an open,
faring fame we get the idea that
electric current is 100 percent safe
and cannot possibly result in any
danger no matter how carelessly
used.
Of course. this isn't so Although
electrical fires are rarer than any
other, nevertheless, lack of care in
the use of electrical devices may
easily result in serious fires. Incor-
rect wiring-such as is often done
by amateur electriCians-Or permit
ting the current 10 run even when
an appliance is unused. are danger
Gus matters.
Use more electrical appliances in
the summer time. They produce less
heat, are pleasanter TO handle.
cleaner and quicker than other
forms of heat But obey the instruc-
tions that accompany the devices
and watch the use of current.
First. shut off the current when
not using. For example. if you are
heating a curling iron or a hatiron
or percolater. use the current only
while you're heating the article and
using it, If your tiatiron is heated
and you are called away for a few
moments, shut off the current before
YOU go. BY no means leave the cur
rent on, thus permitting the iron TO
grow dangerously hot in the event
you are detained longer than you
expected.
1t has happened that the current
has been left on when the iron has
been connected but not used. Left
