ELECTRIC WRINCER Is
BIG AID ON WASHDAY

A great deal has been written about
the electric washer which takes most
OF the work out OF wash day and all
the dirt out OF clothes. but little
stress has been laid upon the swing
ing wrinEer 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 or 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 be made. Just press lever and
round go the rollers. All that Is nee
essary Is to feed the clothes through.
The silent electric current is again
put to service to save mustle and
time. Into the rinse or blue water go
the clothes. then reverse the lever and
back through the wringer they run
with all the surplus water squeezed
out.
Another wringer has a safety lock
preventing the wringer from being
started under any conditions unless
locked in position and ready for
work. IL also has the safety release
at top TO relieve the load IL clothes
become clogged in the rolls.

SEWING MACHINE RUN BY
ELECTRICITY A SUCCESS

Electricity linked up with the finely
sewing mechanism of the modern
sewing machine assures a rapid sew
ing service undreamed of by the
housewife of yesterday The modern
portable sewing machine. cover and
all weighs less than a packed suit
case and can be carried wherever one
wishes to sew. A cord can be attach
ed to any electric light socket and
electricity does the hard work.
Women who use It declare that they
get a great deal more work done
with far less fatigue than by the old
method.
Such a machine simplihes sewing.
1t does the daintiest as well as the
heaviest work. 1t has all attachments
for all kinds of sewing work, such as
hemming and sewing on lace, piping
with the binder, cross tucking, ruff
fling, 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 il to the bot
tom of apron; this is done in one
operation: fourth, gather top of apron
and stitch 1t to the band. The total
cost of materials is about so cents.
The cost OF electricity may be disre-
garded, it's so slight. The time for
making about three hours. The time
| required for making a similar apron
| by hand is twenty hours.

.NOFARM COMPLETE
WITHOUT LIGHT UNIT
Modern Plant Offers Solution
of How to Make Women's
Task Easier.

During the past few years. hun
dreds OF labor saving machines and
deyises have been adopted on the
farm. from plows to tractors. and
from feed grinders to milking ma
chimes, and the continued use has
greatly lightened the work OF the
farmer.
But little has been done TO tighten
the burdens OF the farmers wife.
The modern isolated lighting plant.
however. offers "A solution for this
problem of the overworked farm
woman. The farm lighting unit" as
IL Is generally called. enables the
farmers wife to have the most useful
of the comforts furnished in the city
by public utilities.
Following the some of the things
which the farm lighting plant will do:
Supply electric light in the home.
Provide safe light for the barn and
other buildings.
Provide running water for house
and barn.
Give power to run small machinery.
Operate the churn. separator, washs
ing machine, electric iron. etc.
The cost and upkeep OF these light
ing plants Is considerably low, con-
sidering the comforts and con-
venience which IL provides. Its
rapidly increasing use on the farms
signifies its popularity with the farm
er and his wife in Tightening the
chores and increasing efficiency. The
up-to-date country home is equipped
with one of these farm lighting
plants. and its occupants are enjoying
the comforts and conveniences which
electricity affords.

ing-room by electric table appliances.
But many find after they have pur-
chased these handy and artistic ap-
pearlng utensils that connection must
be made with overhead fixtures, due
to lack OF dashboard outlets at the
proper places,
AS a means OF increasing the use
fulness OF electrical table appliances
and doing away with the unsightiy
overhead cords, one trade authority
advocates the installation of outlets
on the label itself. The table out
let's should then be Connected by cord
with fioor receptacle.
Hun Between Rags.
Where two harmonious rugs are
placed on the floor instead OF the ira
ditional one large rug, the open space
between the two rugs will permit
the passage OF the protected cord
from the table outlet to the floor re-
ceptacle.
Those having the one rug with no
visible aperture through which TO run

wired portable serving table having a

MACHINE ENDS TOLL
. Of WASHING DISHES
Stack Dishes In Electric De-
vice; Turn on Current;
Work Is Done.

Ask the average housewife what
she regards as the most disagreeable,
most hateful task about her home.
and ninety-nine times out OF a hun
dred her answer will be washing
dishes"
One widely known woman writing
on what she terms household en-
gineering declares that the average
woman who does her own work in
her home spends at least an hour and
a half a day washing dishes. At this
rate she spends a total of 64S hours,
or fifty-four ten-hour days. a year at
this admittedly unpleasant occupa-
tion.
Yet men in the electrical trade de-
clare there Is no excuse for this
drudgery, since the trade offers
number OF practical and efficient ap-
pliances which will wash in less than
fifteen minutes all the dishes used by
the average family in a day.
Instead OF being compelled to stand
over a pan Of hot, steaming dishwster,
the housewife with an electric dish
washer arranges the dirty dishes
neatly In the washer and turns on the
current. Electricity does the rest. in
cluding the drying OF the dishes after
they have been cleaned and sterilized.
That, by the way, Is cited as one
OF the big advantages of the electric
dishwasher. Since the hands need not
be put into the water at any stage OF
the operation. the water may be con-
siderably hotter than when the dishes
are washed by hand.
Consequently the chinaware. after
having been thoroughly sprayed with
a shower OF this hot water, is thor
oughly sterilized, and hence far more
sanitary than II the work had been
done by hand in the old-fashioned and
now antiquated way.
After the dishes have been washed,
they are rinsed in clear, hot water.
This is then drained OFF and the heat
within the dishes drives of all the
remaining moisture, leaving them
clean and dry. They are then ready
to be taken out and put away and the
days dishwashing is done.
