MOVING TOYS HAVE A
GREAT HUMAN APPEAL
TO A CHILD AS GIFTS

Already the Christmas spirit Is
strongly in evidence in all the
stores. It's high note is human APP
peal-especially to children. A
modern toy department is a mix
ture of fairyland, Christmas lore
and Mother Goose illustrated
graphically.
Motion is big feature Of all the
exhibits-the Christmas trees re-
volve and some play concealed
music boxes as they go round and
round; all the animals move their
heads, trained seals balance a gild-
ed tube on their noses in star
ting, life-like way, while Jazz-bo
Jim, sturdy blacli-face doll,
dances noisily when connected
with nearby electric outlet.
Airplanes whirl about giddily
from the cross-arms of a tall shaft.
Electric trains run around real
tracks, stop at a real station, dart
into tunnels, or over bridges;
these train outfits include a loco
motive with brake, tender, baggage
car, chair car, parlor car, and re-
semble regular train even to the
smallest details.
Color ray units are being used
extensively to light special exhibits
such as the decorative cubist
Christmas trees. golden and gleam-
ing in the rays Of the color unit
these trees revolve, displaying to
advantage their odd beauty.

OVENS SHOULD
BE THOROUGHLY
CLEANED OFTEN

For the same reasons that at
least once week you strip and
thoroughly clean your ice box, so
you should care for the ovens of
your range. Everything, including
the oven racks, slides and heaters,
can be removed from the Westing
house electric range ovens, thereby
allowing free access for cleaning.
The ovens should be thoroughly
cleaned at least once or twice a
month. Soap and water are the
best removers of accumulations
from cooking. Steel wool is espec-
tally good for cleaning the oven
Innings. Do not use cleansing sand
and sandy powders. as this would
have a tendency to scratch the oven
lining and is liable to cause rust.
Soap and water should not be used
on the heaters, but a damp cloth
and a stiff whisk broom can serve
to good effect.
Keep the oven clean and sweet
bv always leaving the doors open
for a short time after cooking. This
is for the same reason that a re-
frigerator is left open when there
Is no ice In ito ventilate it. To
obtain the best results. it is essen
tlal that the ovens be kept clean
and sanitary at all times.
If the oven should become musty
or emit p disagreeable odor, pos
sibly tainting the food, 1t should
be thoroughly cleaned and a table,
spoon Of ground coffee thrown over
the heater, The doors should then
be closed and the oven heated hot,
keeping the door closed until the

WHAT K. w. H. MEANS
IN THE LIGHT BILL

The electric light bill for the
month is received in the morning
mail. 1t reads, perhaps, as follows:
Present reading. 961; previous
reading. 9S5; consumption 26 k. W.
h.-$2.60.
What does 1t mean? Obviously,
that 26 k. W. h. of electrical energy
have been used during the month.
But what is a k. w. h.
K. w. II. is the abbreviation of
kilowatt hour. A kilowatt is a
thousand watts. A watt-hour,
therefore, represents the work done
by one watt OF electrical energy
expended for one hour, and a kilo-
watt hour thousand times that
amount.
A kilowatt-hour is practically the
equivalent Of one and one-third
horse power hours, since TAG watts
equal one horse power Therefore,
the &c k. w. h. indicated in the bill
mentioned We're equivalent to APP
proximat " 35 horse power hours,
which We're placed at the house,
holders disposal merely at the
push of button.

The mechanical principle is ingen-

Books can and do accumulate
more dust on open shelves than
one would think possible and 1t is
a real problem how to dust them

vacuum cleaner has been designed
to meet this need. 1t connects with
an electric light socket but 1t does
not, like the ordinary. domestic
cleaner, run on the floor. 1t
weighs only six pounds, so 1t is
slung on the hip of the operator
who takes the extension tool in his
right hand and applies 1t to the
tops of the dust-covered books,
with the result that the dust dis
appears into the dust-bag of the

electricity is seldom the cause Of

Of over a thousand fires, I cannot
say I have found electricity prop
erly used has been the cause of a
single fire. say properly used be-
cause I have known careless in
terror wiring and leaving a red hot

to be the cause of fire. The real
cause of fire in such cases, how
ever, should be attributed to the
user than to electricity"

Valley Of Iron
Is Discovered

Edmonton Alta, Dec. 15.--Dis-
covery of a valley of iron on the
shoes of Lake Athabasca has
thrilled the north almost as keen
ly as the discovery of oil on the
Mackenzie.
The iron by analysis is 64.36
per cent pure. Steel tape run over
the outcropping ore showed 1907
100000 tons available for mining,
while 100000 tons in loose
blocks scattered over the ground
will require no mining operations.
The entire ore body lies close to
water navigable by large vessels.
The discovery was made by Nor
man G. Butterfiel dand e. G. But
terrified, his son. They had gone
on canoe trip to Fond-du-Lac, a
fur post at the east end of Lake
Athabasca and on their return
voyage were forced ashore on a
beach Of black sand which formed
the entrance to the valley of iron,
The iron is within convenient
reach of railway transportation.
1t can be shipped aboard steam
boats from Lake Athabasca.
