Every one admits that the French

you foregather at the Rendezvous

Now for the drinkers advantage

tea and coffee are good, but not suit

easily overdo their caffein ration by

The Psychology of Soft Drinks;
Their Seruice and Sociability

WE have known of astute and de-
voted bootleggers who have been
fed some of these dcspised "near
beers (these must be rechristened
to succeed in life) after being start
ed on little old real beer, and they
never knew the difference. There
is much psychology mixed up with
food. And it is the clear, bitter,
clean, thirst-quenching taste of the
beers and ales that makes them the
natural affinities of cheese, sausage
and certain salads. You never did
drink beer for the "Dutch courage
in its small percentage of alcohol.
Another favorite with real soft
drink hounds is whole orange
squeezed into a glass of good gin
ger ale. One of the troubles with
soft drinks as served is that they
are too fussy and too decorative
too much thought given to their
looks and too little to strength of
character:

whole is slightly below the average,
but this lower average does not pre-
vent its catering successfully for the
emergency luncheon, the kitchenet-
ter's morning meal, the camp supper
or dozens Of other occasions as Il
substitute for the more elaborate and
highly priced grill.
Since the stoves legs become hot
enough to mar table top it is ad-
visable to use an asbestos pad or tray
beneath it. The cost for use an
hour at the 10-cent rate is approx
mately five cents.

And then with the meal: Any one
who has never tried straight iced

missed something (even if he has
had champagne with it). But you
want it strong and straight, poured
over large squares of ice - not a
watery concoction.

pe1ings in the home are classed
among the petty annoyances. They
are easily prevented if you will in
vest few pennies in non-splash
bottle opener and cover, one OF
which has for six months proved its
worth in the Institute kitchen.
The device is an aluminium disk
with rolled edges, made in the exact
size Of the top Of a milk bottle. To
the center OF thu under side are at
tached two sharp, pointed steel
prongs, held in place by being fas-
tened to the handle on the top of the
cover.
Place the metal cap over a milk
bottle, turn the handle slightly to
the left-this fastens the sharp
metal prongs in the paper cap. Lift
with the slightest pull and the cap
comes out easily. Leave the "Non"-
Splash in place il you would have
an easily removed cover and the
paper cap clamped to it, or you may
take the latter out Of the metal cover
when the bottle is first opened. Its
construction and design prevent
either pushing the cap into the bottle
or splashing the milk out Of it.
The minor annoyances Of life are
nlcvs irritating than great grief,
especially if they accumulate like
pin points in cne spot. A convenient
milk bottle opener may seem a
trivial affair, but it is drop of oil
on the troubled waters of daily

large electric fans. II you were
using plural socket in order to
connect more than one appliance to
& current source it would be very
much better to attach combination
OF motor and heater types such as
a fan and an iron to the same socket
and the other heater appliance to "a
separate source rather than to put
the two heater appliances on the
plural socket, During breakfast a
grill and percolator form desir-
able combination, but add to this a
toaster-ail at one point--and the
load is over twice the rated ca
pacity of the average socket.
Attention to Wiring
The modern house should, of
course, be adequately wired and
furnished with convenience outlets
for appliance attachment, but in
case the wiring is not modern and
there is scarcity Of current
sources a little study of load divi-
sion between the sockets will be of
considerable value. Acquaintance
with the wattage demands Of the
various household appliances will
also be Of assistance in exercising
economy and insuring safety.
When one realizes that the small
hall light costs in the neighborhood
OF quarter Of cent an hour for
its operation and the electric iron
about twenty-five times more, atten-
ton will be given to cutting down
in ironing time rather than the time
that the hall light burns. You must
also realize that it costs at least a
dozen times as much to warm the
room up in the winter time with an
electric glow heater as it does to
cool it off in the summer with a
fan. Unless you know what your
different electrical servants cost,
you are apt to scrimp in the wrong
quarter. '"Save at the spigot and
let fly at the bung-hole," as the old
pre-prohibition adage has it.
Socket Precautions
While the lamp socket is ordinarily
rated as being capable Of carrying $50
watts, it can carry almost 80 per cent
more than this il certain precautions
are observed. Those are IS follows:
I. Never turn the current off at the
lamp socket when single irons, toast
ers or other "he2vy current" devices
OF group Of appliances are attached.
2. Never unscrew a plug at the
socket to turn the current off.
3. Use the individual appliance
switch constructed to break heavier
currents. II none is provided remove
the terminal plug at the appliance or
pull out half Of the separable, parallel
oladed plug at the socket.
4. Never demand moro than eight Or
nine hundred watts from q lamp
socket. While a properly designed new
socket may safely carry more than this
amount Of energy, good many sockets

DLURAL socket connections are not
new conception of the cleo
trical designer, but the number of
electrical appliances now used, in
many insufficiently wired houses,
with too few outlets, has brought
forth a higher class article of this
character to meet this need.
When connecting a plural socket
two or three connections) to the
chandelier or a lamp socket exten-
sion one must bear in mind that
the amount of current that can be
taken from the socket has not been
increased threefold. The available
current is just the same as it was
before. The advantage is in being
able to attach three light" loads to
the single socket instead of a single
heavy" one.
While the fuse plugs in the cleo
vical circuit entering the house
will protect against overload of
the entire system they may not pre-
vent the overlooking Of a single
socket, so injuring the switch and
finally doing possible injury to the
wiring itself.
1t is therefore advisable for the
housekeeper to become acquainted
With the current demands" of her
appliances, so that she may avoid
either the inconvenience of blowing
8 fuse or the immediate or final in
jury of the socket and connections.
What's a Watt--and How Many
of Them?
From the standpoint Of cover
loading" and the size, Of the
months electrical bill the various
devices we attach to convenience
outlets in wall and Dashboard and
to lamp sockets may be divided into
two readily distinguishable classes
one the "motor" type and the
other the 'heater." Washing ma
chimes, suction cleaners, automatic
refrigerators, fans and beaters are
examples Of the motor class. (Any
appliance which depends for its op-
Grafton upon an electric motor is
grouped with this type Of load.)
On the other hand, the heater load
is represented by such articles as the
ron, toaster, grill and percolator
The mysterious ''Watt" Is the
sItit Of measure Of the electrical
cnerey consumed BY the light bulb
or appliance and your meter records
"kiloa0ott kosIrs' or tho thousands
Of Wntts consumed, multiplied By
the hours Of use.
The average current demand of
the heater class Of appliance is
much greater than that for the
motor type. For example, the watt
age taken by one electric iron would
run three full-grown washing ma
chimes, or over twice that many

light, sold at 60 cents tankard.
And so it goes.
