And In all sections of the nation there

Ninety per cent OF western homes

ELECTRIC COOKER BOON
IN WINTER OR SUMMER

Especially in the summer Is the
electric compartment cooker a boon
to the woman who does her own
housework ..s .
Fully half the operations in cooking
can be done better and more economi-
cally in a compartment cooker than
over a gas flame, it is claimed. The
boiling of soups, vegetables and meats
are all examples of this. On gas
range or coal stove, such operations
require from fifteen minutes to an
hour or more, during which time the
kitchen rises to a most uncomfort-
able temperature and the cook be-
comes flushed and heatweary.- But
with the compartment cooker, such
operations are not only made auto
matte but there is no heat in the room.
The food is placed in the compart-
ment; a switch is twitched, and when
the food is wanted it is ready, piping
hot.
The principle of the compartment
cooker is simple. A small amount of
current heat is applied to a heat-in-
sulated cabinet, in which the food is
placed. The food cooks slowly, retain
ing all its natural flavor and does not
shrink" as when cooked in the or
binary way. SO there is double
either in weight or value and the
operation is performed with the alb
solute minimum of applied heat.
New electric compartment cookers
are equipped with automatic time
switches which turn off the current
when the proper amount of heat has
been applied. This not only insures
economy in the use of the current
but it permits the housewife to start
her food cooking at any convenient
time, secure in the assurance that
when 1t is done the electricity will be
shut off.
1t must be understood that electric
compartment cookers are not COM
plete electric stoves, but are auxiliary
cookers designed to save time, labor
fuel, and fuss. They are boon to
the keen housewife who is alert to
adopt whatever Housekeeping device
will reduce her labor, economize her
expenditures, and give her greater
leisure.

CODESAS
SAFETY DEVICES
State Laws Specify Minimum
and Desirable Intensities
and Equipment.

Several states, recognizing the
beneficial effects OF good lighting on
the health and safety OF employees.
have adopted lighting codes. These
stipulate the minimum intensities
permissible for certain operations
and also indicate the desirable in
tensities. and equipment to be used
TO eliminate glare.
But regardless OF codes and laws
manufacturers are fast coming 10
realize that the best possible illumi-
nation in their plants pays big div
idends. AS the intensity Of ths
artificial light is increased. 1t Is
found that both the quality and the
quantity of the output improves
Some OF the leading Industrial man
ayers admit that they have not yet
reached the limit. For example. In
some plants where the average In
tensity of light was formerly about 4
or 8 foot-candles (the unit used in
measuring illumination) the intensity
has been increased to 80 foot-candles
and the increased revenue from
greater and better production has fai
exceeded the cost of the added light
The question is, where will tho
limit be found? When IL is known
that on a sunny day, In the shade
the light intensity is about 500 foot
candles. 1t may readily be seen that
artificial lighting still has a lone
way to go to equal the light oi
nature.
Actual experience has proved that
improved lighting improves produc'
tion. There is such thing as pro
ductive intensities" Records show
that improvements in Industrial plant
lighting have resulted in production
increases ranging from 8 per cent to
35 per cent. The Importance OF light,
ing as a factor in production is ad-
mitted; the evidence is indisputable.
OF course the factory manager is
interested in means to increase pro-
duction. and he is also interested in
the cost of the means to produce the
increase. Reports from various 10.
calities and various classes of plants
where costs and labor conditions vary

ELECTRICITY BEST
FOR COOKING FOOD
Current Always Even and In
sures Perfect Culinary
Results.

People Svho are always asking IL
electric cooking Is as cheap as gas
should right-about-face and ask what
is II that makes 80 many women glad
to pay more for having an electric
range, declares a leading electric
range maker There must be some
good reason for cooking by wire or
there would not be so many electric
ranges in service in Washington, he
adds.
One of these reasons-and one
which is particularly important In
these hot. humid days-is the auto
matte control feature of the electric
range. 1t Is almost human In Its
operataion. One may put the complete
dinner on in the morning, go to the
country club for luncheon and an
afternoon with friends, and return
at dinner tim TO find the food perfect
ly cooked and ready TO serve.
Nor is a meal so prepared one whit
less appetizing than dinner over
which the gas range slave potters
and stews for several hours. All the
nourishing juices OF meats and vege
ables are retained in the electrically
cooked food. Flavors are really i'm
proved, according TO electrical cook
cry experts. The results are delicate
and delicious beyond the ability OF
the average cook to duplicate upon d
gas or coal stove.
When one pays gas bill. one pays
simply for a certain amount of heat
used in cooking. But in paying an
electric bill. one pays not only for
the heat used in cooking, but for an
automatic servant" which turns the
eat on and off. which insures exact
and dependable cooking results and
which preserves the food from
shrinkage and drying out.
There Is no such thing as lucky
in electric cooking. Dishes do not
have to be watched, the flame does
not have to be adjusted, the gas pres
sure does not fall and make the food
soggy, nor rise and scorch some spe-
cial dish upon which the patience and
energy have been lavished.
SO any comparison OF costs be-
tween gas or coal and electric cook
ing must take into account other
things besides the monthly bill for
service. Convenience and labor saw
ing are items which have dollars
and cents value to the modern house
keeper.
