Electrified Kitchen with Its
Advantages Greatest Of
fering Made by Science
to Home Economics

Electrified kitchens are among
the best offerings science has this
far made to the home. Electric
washers and ironers and sWeepers
have become pretty well known,
and are almost universally recog-
nized as blessings without any dis
guise, in the saving of time and
strength tney accomplish But af-
ter all, washing and ironing does
not occur every day; heavy clean
ing days usually are confined to
one day a week. The kitchen is
the place where help has been
most needed since Eve first gave
Adam indigestion by feeding him
uncooked fru1-
Cooking by electricity has many
advantages over that by any other
heat. Tests have proved that meats
cooked in an electric oven show d
distinct saving in weight. In ac-
curate CURES, roast beef cooked
in fuel ovens .pses 35 per cent in
weight. The same roast, cooked
electrically shrinks slightly less
than 20 per cent. With beef cost
! ing approximately 70 cents pound
this saving in a four or five pound
| cut is an appreciate item in the
days budget,
Electric ovens are heavily insu-
| lated, so that heat is retained for
a long period after current is turn
ed off. This has a two-fold advan-
tage; first, in the comfort saved TO
the temperature of the room in
summer time; and second, in the
possibilities of slow cooking by
stored heat, permitting an entire
dinner to be cooked with a mimi
mum amount of fuel through the
semi-freless cooker process. with
q little forethought i'll selecting
combinations, this type of cooking
may be made a real economy IN
both fuel and time.
Another attraction, one which
means much to scrupulous house
keepers, is that there are no fumes
no smoke, no SCOT accompanying
electric heat. Bright cooking uten-
sis retain their brightness without
continual securing and polishlns'
and this fact goes far toward keep
ing the shine on bright dispositions,
Dainty walls and curtains, which
under old-tme kitchen conditions
became so quickly and so discour-
agingly coated with film OF
! greasy CRIME, in electrified Kitchens
show no such disagreement.
| Therefore, in noting the saving Oh
time and drudgery science mas
made possible to housewives must
be counted the hours of scrubbing
paint and windows which are nee
essary with other fuels.
A kitchen motor will sharpen
knives, polish silver and do numer-
Gus other odd jobs; run q food
! chopper, grinding bread, yege-
tables, meat, nuts, coffee, or any
thing desired ground. 1t will mix
bread and cake, whip cream or
mayonnaise. Southern beaten bis
cults, run several times through the
food chopper by the strength OF
/ this versatile slave, will be as light
and flaky as though dusty south
ern cook had beaten the dough for
| hours,
Another electrical servant which
helps Danish monotony is a dish
washer. In homes where this is
known in its true efficiency, it is
customary to do actual dishwash-
ing only once a day; usually after
breakfast. 1t is quite ethical TO
store soiled dishes away in TINS
satitary covered machine; and II
is roomy enough to wash those OIL
two or three meals in the average
family.
Even the refrigerator has taken
new airs and graces unto ltselL
since entering the ltra-moderh
/ home. IL is electrified. This means
that no ice-man with muddy shoes
and dripping burden enters the
white confines of the kitchen. IN
stead, an automatic device, Install
ed in the cellar, keeps the temper
ature of the refrigerator at the
point decided desirable by It's
owner,
