NEW DEVICE IS
FOR SEWING
MACHINES
lIIumin ates Them So That
Sewing At Night Not
Strain on Eyes.

With the near advent of daylight
saving In certain localities of the
country, when residents of those
districts will push their clocks
back one hour and thus acquire
Ian extra sixty minutes of daylight
during the twenty-four, recent
invention is brought to mind, which
should prove of interest not only
to seamStreSSeS but to every
woman who sews for herself or
her household and is fortunate
enough to possess an electrically
wired home.
Light Needed For Sewing. -
Sewing cannot always be done
at a time when conditions of
natural light are best. Dark days
land dark nights must frequently
be employed for some necessary
piece of work and this has caused
the housewife, in the past, to
resort to any number of expedients
to secure proper illumination for
her work. Candles, oil lamps and,
more recently. portable electric
lights, have been used. The two
former have been placed on the
leaf of the sewing machine or on
some nearby table or stand
1t is practically impossible with
any of these methods 10 secure
requisite illumination of the material.
Shadows are cast which interfere
with facile work or else there is a
glare directly in the operators ewes.
Needless to add, candles and lamps
are dangerous at best
Quite recently small electric lights
made especially for sewing machines
and attached thereto have been de-
Veloped. One particular light, which
Is both effective and convenient. at
taches to the back of the arm by a
single screw. Where the machine
is an old treadle model with separate
motor, long cord is provided for at
tachment to the nearest electric light
socket. This allows either light or
motor to be operated independently.
In some electric machines, the
light as well as the motor is built
right into the machine itself.

ELECTRIC IRON MUST
PROVIDE COOL HANDLE

The making of a perfect electric
iron still involves the problem Of
providing a cool handle, Like the
famous briar pipe of England !,
whose bowl never gets hot, no MAJ
ter how dry the smoking mixture,
the iron must keep a cool handle
for the ironer's palm. (
The advertisini Of a standard
grade of iron always includes the
explanation of it's handle. Some
handles are detachable, others dt
the hand exactly and so conserve
strength. The electric iron has
been perfected electrically, now it
is being refined mechanically.

REACTS.
ON NERVOUS !.
SYSTEM
More Soothing to
Tired Person. Than Properly
ModuIated Illumination.

In the olden days one of the
prevalent forms OF torture was to
keep the victim awake and then
flash a light, regularly, every few
seconds into his eyes. This pleas.
ant punishment in many cases sent
the poor wretch stark, staring mad.
Yet, enlightened as we are to-
day, few OF us realize the reaction
OF light upon our nervous systems.
just as a loud. rasping VOICE can
set us all on edge, so can 81 harsh
glaring light knock overtired nerves
to pieces. Especially is this true of
the business man or woman when
returning home after a. fatfguifag
day at the. office. The lights. say,
in your rooms or Apartment Or
home, as the case may be, are all
overhead lights, /. with possibly a
single portable reading lamp in
your bedroom or living room. The
moment you cross the threshold
you are greeted with vivid, too di-
rect light Your nerves, conscious
ly or unconsciously, commence
jumping about, and inwardiy you
wonder why you can find no "let
down" from your office office work
and worry.
Alarming Reactions.
Psychologically, there are many
and alarming reactions resulting
from direct light rays falling upon
the retina of the human eye.
Conversely, there is nothing more
soothing to a tired or nervous
physical system than properly
modulated~ shaded light, diffusinE
clear, mellow glow which is the
twin sister to daylight itself
There is no finer, clearer, steadier
light than carefully-installed, cor
rectly-placed electric light. Proper.
ly directed and supplemented with
restful shades, it is not only a think
OF beauty but 1t Is one of the prime
fators in making your home rest
ful peaceful place in which to live.
move and have your being.
Physicians have come to
recognize that lighting plays an i'm.
portant role in the upbuilding or
depletion of your nerves and health
generally. For this reason, as well
as for others previously cited, the
wise man or woman takes pains
to see that his living quarters are
correctly and adequately ilIumi-
mated. That. too, is why the wir.
ing of your home should be one of
SSSAA AAA 81 fNOAGA0EA 6SlOltC anu WHY
unless you yourself are an adept
at these matters. it should be
placed in the hands of a specialist
whose clever work will insure your
being able to perform, by artificial
light, any task you could accom-.
plish by daylight without injury to
or straining of your optic nerves.
Improper Lighting.
Poor and improper lighting will
not only give you headache and a
| throbbing in your eyes, but it will
likewise affect the nerves of your
stomach and can also ruin both your
digestion and your disposition. Some
evening when you are neeedlessIy
and unduly irritated, look about you
and see il your indisposition cannot
be traced to Objectionable lighting.
In any event our friend the cynic
will at least admit that here is a
brandnew, AL alibi for the human
who is inclined. to be quarrelsome at
the least provocation. Which proves
the truth of the old saw that its
an i'll wind that blows nobody good. 4"

Electricity Removes
Burden From
Cooking

In the last ten years electric
cooking has been so consistent
~ developed that it gives the
highest percentage of efficiency
and the lowest percentage of
waste of any mode of cooking.
It is safe to say that IS per
cent of heat produced by an
electric range goes directly into
the food it cooks. One cannot
say as much for the heat pro-
duced from other fuels.
Food cooked by electricity
shrink far less than foods
cooked by other fuels.
There is no loss of time or
labor in cooking with an cleo
tric range. The cook does not
have to watch the food while
it is cooking. If it is being
cooked in the oven the heat
control may be set so. that the
current will be shut off auto
matically at a certain time. Z
