ELECTRIC STOVE ND NOVELTY
 IN KITCHENS OF GREAT WEST

The electric stove is no novelty in the kitchens of the West, While in the East it is gaining ground year by year especially small stoves or cookers that permit oven baking and the use of at least two hot plates on top. Such a stove benefits the housewife in the following manner: First, there is no waste heat, therefore, she works in a cool kitchen. Second. absolute clean Hness is possible at all times. Third labor is reduced to a minimum be- cause an electric stove is always ready. Fourth. with no flame there is safety. Fifth. the character of the stove permits more time for social duties.
 Summing up therefore, it is evident that an electric stove is safer, superior and socially more acceptable, big time and labor saver as compared with old time stoves Without dirt. ashes, gases or smell it makes an ideal addi- ton to a clean and well kept house. hold. As no oxygen is consumed by it the air of the home is purer. As it is small. no kitchen is crowded by its use. As it is scientific in construc- ton and operation, it means that the housewife can predetermine results with certainty in roasting, baking or stewing. You can cook by the clock ' is a phrase quite justifiable, now.
 As the kitchen is really a laboratory in which foods are prepared to stim-

MANY WAYS AND
 MEANS TO MAKE
 SEWING SIMPLE

Electricity linked up with the fine sewing mechanism of the modern sew ing machine assures d rapid sewing service undreamed of by the housewife of yesterday. The modern portable sewing machine, cover and all, weighs less than a packed suitcase and can be carried wherever one wishes to sew. A cord can be attached to any electric light socket and electricity does the hard work. Women who use 1t declare that they get a great deal more work done with far less fatigue than by the old method.
 Such machine simplifies sewing. It does the daintiest as we'll as the heaviest work. It has all attachments for all kinds of sewing work, such as henlming and sewing on lace. piping with the binder, cross tucking. ruff ling. shirring and edge stitching.
 Suppose a white lawn apron is to be made. The first operation is to tuck the material for the ruffle and then insert lace insertion and lace on edge of same; second hem apron strings and sides of apron; third, gather ruffle and stitch it to the bot tom of apron; this is done in one oper- ation; fourth, gather top of apron and stitch it to the band. The total cost of materials is about 50 cents. The cost for electricity may be disregarded, it's so slight. The time for making about three hours. The time required for making a similar apron by hand is 20 hours.

HOME NOW HAS ALL MODERN
 CONFERENCES

If you had asked any farm family a few years ago what they needed most in their homes. the answer would have been, Electric lights and a bathroom" !"
 The need for electric light was sup piled when progressive manufacturers devised means to produce electric generating plants in compact form so that they could easily be installed on each farm at a nominal cost. This was first accomplished three or four years ago. A complete water system came a little later to solve the bath room problem" Today any farm fam fly can have a bathroom. we'll equip ped, modern and sanitary.
 The clean, white porcelain tub, ready for use at any time. is surely an inn provement on the old fashioned tin Or wood affair that used to be brought out on Saturday nights. And turn ing a faucet, that quickly fills the tub with steaming hot water is more convenient than pumping several tubs ful of water by hand and heating 1t in the wash boiler on the kitchen stove.
 But perhaps the strongest argument for a bathroom lies in it's effect on the health of the whole family. For years the st>te health departments and the agricultural colleges have realized that one of the principal causes of illness in rural districts lay in the absence of indoor toilets and sanitary sewage disposal. They have advocated bathrooms and aseptic syS- tems to overcome this condition.
 Today, with good aseptic systems available and a complete farm water system to furnish continuous water supply. a convenient sanitary bath room indoors not only means greater convenience, but in addition affords real health protection.

F FIousewife's Biggest Aid Is Electricity
WASHDAY DREAD VANISHES WITH
 ADVENT OF ELECTRICAL WASHER

What housewife doing her own work did not experience perpetual worry over the approach of washday-until the advent of the electric washer? Even though she might be able to se- cure competent Iaundress now and then, still she was never absolutely sure of the laundress.
 For years washday has been a hard - ship. The cleansing of washable gar ments has been a regular task. a task that makes the woman who loves cleanliness dislike the thought Of Monday-"blue Monday" it was called, and no wonder-for no one liked doing the laundry work.
 Only the woman who has suffered under the "old regime" can appreciate what electricity has done to lift Mon days burden and to tighten Tuesdays

ELECTRIC WRNGER HELPS TO TAKE UP
 PART IF BIG LOAD

A great deal has been written about the electric washer that takes most of the work out of washday and all the dirt out of clothes, but little stress has been laid upon the swinging wringer which enables one to wiring clothes from one tub to another at the same time that other clothes are being washed in the washer.
 One of the wringers is reversible, with fine rubber rolls, best steel ten sion springs and a patented safety guard: when one is ready to wiring there is no crank to turn. no effort to
