A Water Baby That Works Its Way
by Beating Eggs, Sharpening
Knives and Shining Silver

scissors Certainly we failed, and
some skill is necessary for this ac-
complishment.
In using the buffer to polish silver
the best results were obtained, es-
pecially with yellow tarnish from
coal gas, by applying the polish
with the buffer and using hand work
to remove it. The power must be
applied gradually and the buffer
held tightly against the object, so
as not to spatter the wet powder. As
the area of the buffer is very small
Git consists of sixteen thicknesses
of duck cut in two-inch disks and
sewed together around circle one
half inch from its center), it takes
longer than by hand to clean silver,
especially if it has deep crevices, but
all of the labor Of rubbing and the
discomfort Of handling the wet pow
der is saved.
When the Baby Beats ft
The beaten is, Of course, the most
interesting Of the appliances ard
has the widest scope. Mayonnaise,
white Of egg and light batters were
all tried. Every one knows what
the steady beating of these every
day foods, especially if made in
large quantities, does to the upper
arm; but the little lady in the pho
tograph plainly could make mayon-
naise all day with no fatigue.
This beater attachment has para
sol effect, four ribs extending from
the rim to the central shaft of a
bowl about two inches in diameter
and one inch deep. This is the
latest improved model and did much
better work than the fiat beaten
first used.
However, even with the first
model cup and a half of mayon-
raise was we'll mixed in about ten
minutes, and most easily made. The
yolk and seasonings were combined,
then few drops of oil, and, with
the left hand on the faucet to adjust
the force of the water, more oil was
added until the mixture was thick.
| Then the water was turned OIL full
and the oil added rapidly.
Saving Energy
The new model also beat egg
whites stiff and light in two minutes,
starting rather slowly, and, whereas
this is not remarkable time record,
again one must remember that it In
volved no labor. The Water Baby's
browning feat was to make a cake
complete. The yolks and whites were
beaten separately and all the ingre-
Gients combined within ten minutes.
giving cake batter that was
smooth and a resultant crumb when
baked that was fine and close.
No one of these operations may
seem like much work in itself, but
in the course of a Saturdays bak-
ing and regulating, it counts to have
all the mixing and shining and
sharpening, done without labor, de-
n1anding only supervision. Women
are too apt to snatch up the handi-
est fork or cloth and ''go at it," but
in the days work, saving energy
from routine tasks means that much
more strength for something more
important. The Water Baby GER
tainly saves muscular energy.
