Record Will Show How to
Avoid Waste of
Current.

Folk who feel that their light.
ing bills are not correct should do
something more than merely
kick" to the lighting company.
They should; in fairness, keep a
month-to-month record OF their
meter and have actual facts, in.
stead Of guesswork, as the basis
of their complaints. II they kept
such records, there would be fewer
complaints.
Understand, first Of all, that an
electric meter is. very accurate
and dependable measuring instru.
ment-much more reliable than the
weights and measure by which we
buy groceries, meat, milk and
other daily household necessities.
There have been any number of
Investigations Of meters by public
utility boards, and In all cases
the percentage Of error has been
very slight. And in very many
cases, It has been found that the
disordered meters favored the GUS
toner instead Of the lighting COM
spany.
Easy TO Keep Record.
But, regardless of the accuracy
Of the instrument. householders
owe it to themselves to keep q
reasonable check upon their cleo.
trio consumption, exactly as they
check the laundry or the ice man.
This is not difficult and takes
only about five minutes once a
month.
You win find that this record
will serve you, not so much as a
Foundation for argument with the
lighting company, but as a check
upon wasteful use Of current by
children and servants. It Twill
demonstrate to you the economy
Of using the right sizes Of Mazda
lamps in every socket, and the
extravaganza Of screwing in "any
old lamp" when turnout re.
quires replacement. It will tell
you how much you save in actual
dollars and cents for electricity
when you have the living room
re-decorated with light-toned paper
instead Of sombre, light-stealing
dark paper.
Practical Aid To Thrift.
It will prove to you how little
ironing machine or vacuum cleaner
uses. It will show how your bills
mount up in autumn when the
days shorten and lights are burned
longer hours, and how this increase
is neutralized by the diminishing
bills in spring and summer when
less artificial light is required.
Your monthly month meter rec
ord is a practical aid to thrifty
and intelligent use of electricity
and as such will have the iidorse
ment Of the very people whom
you now, perhaps, suspect OF
mulcting you-the lighting com
pany.

Frozen Fingers On
Wash Day Out
OF Fashion

Stormy days are unhappy
ones for the home laundress.
When she has swished the FAM
lily supply Of clean garments
and linens through their re-
quired number of machine-trips
and they are ready to be hung
up, she looks forward with
dread to the icy atmosphere Of
the outdoor work.
Drying indoors is usually
messy and disagreeable. The
most sensible accompaniment to
electric laundering machinery is
the electrical clothes dryer, In
stalled in basement or laundry
for all emergency use. So con-
venient is this that it is likely
laundresses will learn to prefer
it to outdoor drying, even in
summer, because its newest
manifestation promises to fur
nish air that is electrically heat
ed, electrically purified, and
ozonated.
This contains, according to
claims, not only quick drying,
but bleaching properties.

Questions and
Answers

Electrical Editor: What can
nut into dry cells to bring them ;
back to life? I understand there
is some chemical which will
restore the vitality Of dry cells
which are all but dead. Thanks
for any information you can
supply. q. L. T..
Efforts to revive exhausted dry
cells are not generally profitable
but are often interesting expert
ments. A saturated solution OF
ammonium chloride in water will
revive an almost dead cell IL the
pulverized materials are removed
and the solution stirred in making
a wet paste again. Some recon-
mend adding powdered manganese
dioxide to the powder in the cell.
This to replace what. manganese
dioxide was In the powder and has
worn out.
Electrical Editor: My husband
recently presented me with an
electrical grill but cannot get
my maid to use it. She declares
she is afraid Of getting g shock
from it. Besides, she assures me
that it is too expensive to cook
on IL regularly. Can you help
me to overcome her objections?
MRS. M. L.
First Of ali, assure her that there
is no danger of getting shock
from the electrical grill. Connect
1t up, turn on the current ana
show her that only the cooking part
Of the grill gets hot and that there
fs never any occasion to touch
that. You can, overcome her re-
pugnance to this convenient device
by handling 1t yourself with ease
and confidence. Regarding the
cost, the ordinary size gives con-
tinuous, intense heat for one hour
for q few cents. Bacon, ham ana
eggs. hot cakes-almost anything
YOU might have for breakfast
would not require more than fifteen
minutes. Can the kitchen range
cook the breakfast at q lower fuel
cost?
