whose current would automatically

A certain type of young women
will leave the current active in her
electric iron to enjoy an hours

MUCH
IMPROVED IN
TEN YEARS
Electric Suction Given Greater
Power and Made Simpler
In Operation.

Improvements in design and con
struction of electric cleaners during
the past ten years have been the
means Of placing it in second place
in the list Of popular household ap
pliances.
These improvements include sim
plification of mechanism, strength
ening suction power, eliminating ex
cess weight, and making more com
pact. They could not have been
achieved had not the manufactur
ers studied the use of cleaners In
various homes and buildings. and
from first hand knowledge of what
the users needed in them, devel
oped such points as far as they
were able.
The first electric cleaners, known
as vacuum cleaners" were cum
bersome tank. affairs weighing fifty
pounds or more, that had to be
carried by handle from room to
room, upstairs and downstairs, I'M
til the housemaid or wife was ex'
hausted and was really unable to
exert her efforts upon the cleaning
process by hose suction which in
those days had not much power
The small amount of suction power
required the housewife to get upon
her knees ins order to literally dig
up the dirt with the nozzle of tho
hose.
This exhausting process per
suaded manufacturers that the cleo
trio suction cleaner was entirely toe
heavy to ever become popular liz
the household. Then a cleaner was
introduced which consisted of q
motor installed as a fixture in some
wall closet and very long, bis
hose which could be carried from
room to room. But this was aWk
ward and firing,
The revolution of the electric
cleaner started when the first ma
chine of light build, with its dus
bag moved and manipulated by
hand, appeared. The old style
cleaner gradually disappeared. anC
improvements of suction power and
a lessening OF the amount of power
necessary to effect this suction were
the subjects upon which the study
of manufacturers was concentrated
Today they are turning out ar

Comfort.

The manager of Southern cleo
trio power company was recently
telling of his experience in endeav-
oring to introduce labor saving ap-
planes into homes employing ne.
gro servants. He told OF an in
stance where he had found one of
the directors of his company still
using a coal-burning range. The
plea was made that the old colored
cook would have no other, but the
director was willing that a sales
man from the light and power com
pany should make an attempt to
SELL Mandy the advantages OF an
electric range.
= After much persuasion. I the old
negress agreed to allow the electric
stove to be installed. The day after
the new range had been connected,
an irate director phoned to his gen
eral manager demanding his imn1e-
diate presence.
Brown. you must get that cleo.
trio range out of my house today.
My cook has threatened to leave
unless / give her back the old coal
stove. So back 1t goesp
The manager was nearly stumped.
LET me have one more chance to
persuade Mandy to keep the electric
range. If 1 fail. I'll have the old
stove back tonight"
1t was so agreed, but the parting
warning was not to be mistaken.
IF our cook quits, I'm off You FOR
life"
Once more the salesman called on
Mandy. He argued hard and long,
but to no avail. Mandy was ada.
mant. Finally, in desperation, he
said: NANNY, why don't you like
that electric range? Tell me the
TRUTH
"WeIl, honey, ah'll tell you.
Those ovens is too high for me to
put nah two feet in"
A low-oven type range was
promptly installed and both it and
Mandy stayed.

So you have been warned to use
both mouth washes and dental floss
in order to clean between the teeth
where decay starts.
Easier Method Found
But science has finally discovered
an easier, safer and more effective
way of thoroughly cleaning and pro-
tecting your teeth. The new discov-
cry was made at the celebrated

Pittsburgh, and Is called Mu.Sol-

It cleans by new principle, with

q LIQUID which not only cleans the
visible surfaces, but reaches and
cleans every crack and crevice of
your mouth and teeth, removing the
germs OF decay and preventing tar
dental disorders. Eminent dentists
who have thoroughly tested Mu-Sol-
Dent recommend 1t as the only
