Its pie turesque location together with it's de- sign makes it especially suitable for 8 show place. Every modern wiring de vice has been provided for the correct use of electricity in it's several applica tions.

Realizing the tremendous import ance of electricity in this age and the important uses it has that are not so well known to the people, the Electric league and The Age-Herald desire to show how a modern application of cleo tric wiring can be made.
 House Drudgery
 House drudgery was done universal ly fifty years ago with the hands. Put your heart in it" was the instruction of the plodder. The heart rebels, It cannot be put into drudgery, which even becomes so distasteful that the very mind revolts. Ones head is not used in the matter. The drudge be- comes more machine and not hu- man being. Now comes a complete re- versal. The electric servant has caused this turnover. Drudgery is now done witK the head, and hands and hearts are used for real living.
 Emancipation from labor, leisure to read good books, visit with friends, play golf, grow flowers and fashion lovely garments; leisure to be ill the presence of little children, sweet music, beauti- full pictures,-these are some of the things that electricity gives. But some people have been cheated of them.
 What House Will Show
 The electrical home will show just how these drudgery saving devices can be used. An~electrical stove which cooks your food without danger or soot

PACKER LAW RAPED.
Agriculture Department Methods
Are Declared Illegal.

Charges of illegal administration of
the packers and stockyards act were
heard today by the House committee
on expenditures in the Agricultural
Department, and John M. Burns, at
tached to the solicitors Office of the
department, declared he held Chester
Morrill,, assistant to the Secretary
and in charge Of administration of
the act, responsible for the illegal
practices
"One of the great blunders was
when the auditors sent out by the
packers and stockyards act found ir-
regularities. 1 was perfectly amazed
when 1 found that, instead of the
Secretary handling it, the govern
ment records were turned over to
live stock exchange. Somebody had
inveigled the Secretary of Agricul-
ture into taking the records and qui-
city turning them over to a private
TRIBUNAL stock exchange-to take
action.
