Home Laundries
Necessity; Proue
, Big Money Saver


Electric home laundries are now
a necessity and save any family
money" This was the statement
issued today by the home demon
strators of the Southern Sierras
Power company. who have just
completed calling on over half the
customers of the power company
in the valley in the course of their
home demonstration work.
Everywhere we go we find salts
fled users of electric washers and
ironers,' said Mrs Esther Benning
ton, head of the Southern Sierras
home demonstration staff in the
valley who went on to say:
People who useo TO spend sew
eral hours on Monday morning
washing the family clothes now
merely throw the Soiled garments
into new electric washer and in
Just few minutes are able to hang
them on the line. In fact, the new
wringer and damp driers are so
efficient that it takes only a few
minutes to dry the family wash.
ironing, too, has ceased to be
household dru0sery,' said Mrs. Ben
nineton. "A housewife can now
actually be a hostess while she irons.
for if she has new iron she sits
down and with little effort guides
the weekly wash through the new
simplified roll"
Mrs. Bennington, in her inter
view with the press yesterday, said
that few of the purchasers of
electric irons are afraid that they
will be unable to operate their new
household helper or that they are
in danger of burning their clothes
or their hands. However, it takes
us only little while of demonstra-
ton TO convince even the most scep-
tical housewife that an electric
ironer will do her ironing in about
one third the time it now takes by
hand and that there is no danger
of burning her clothes or herself
We teach the average housewife
how to iron all types of clothing on
her ironer in just few minutes"
"One of the features of washing
and ironing by electricity is the
low cost for operating the electric
washer and ironer," said the home
economist who continued: 1--WE
have made a careful study of the
cost for operating a home laundry
that is completely electrified and
we find that for an average family
in the valley it costs only few
cents week for all the washing
and ironing"
1T is no wonder then that the
dealers and the Southern Sierras
have sold hundreds of the new
washers and ironers during this 'un-
usual sale under the terms of which
one can buy an ironer for as low
as $1.37 per month and an electric
washer for as little as SIPS
month"

ELECTRIC UNITS
MEAN FREEDOM
FOR HOUSEWIFE

Freedom from kitchen drudgery
mechanization of nerve wracking
household tasks, will be a complete
reality in the near future, predict
ed the Brawley merchants who are
cooperating with the Southern ST.
erras Power company in the electric
appliance drive to close this Sat-
urday.
The dealers cited specifically the
marvellous advances made possible
by the economics which modern
electric appliances can bring to the
home. IF more women only know
what savings in money as we'll as
time they can make by bringing
their kitchens up to date, most
kitchen slavery would almost be
thing of the past. Just take for
example the new 1887 refrigerators
which the dealers and the power
company are now displaying.
These refrigerators have every
convenience and a lot of features
such as food saver sets which make
1t easy to save and tighten kitchen
tasks, too. That holds right through
scores of such features as the crisp
ing pan, the utility baskets, the ad-
Unstable shelves, the new ice trays
which make it easy to remove the
ice, the new many point temper
ature control
of course the quality construc-
ton of these new refrigerators mul-
tlplies the savings thick insul-
alton preserves the cold. time test
ed mechanism which is built not
only to run, economically but with
out attention. Add to economy of
operation and the money-savine
devices, the extra saving which
women can make by preventing
food spoilage by having plenty of
space to store food bought in guam
titles at bargain-day prices, and you
Will see what a new refrigerator
can do for any family's budget.
Yet these new 1887 refrigerators
are easy to own" said the dealers
who continued: That's why we
have displaced thousands of obso-
lete and wasteful refrigerators. 1t
will accomplish the purpose which
engineers intended when they set
out to design a refrigerator which
will allow America to join in cele-
brating the beginning of California's
electrical age

SUDDEN RUSH
FOR ELECTRIC
WATER HEATERS

A sudden rush for electric water
heaters during the last few weeks
was disclosed today by the local
merchants ana power company who
are now selling electrical appliances
on unusually low terms
The I. " Hardware, Edgar Bros.
Whiting Mead, Sones Lumber Com
pany, Schmidt Electric Company
Sears Roebuck and Company, and
the Southern Sierras who comprise
the seven local institutions at which
Ell Centro people can buy electric
water heaters. state that the sale
of the new method of heating water
has been SO rapid that now nearly
one half of the customers of the
Southern Sierras Power Company in
Imperial Valley are enjoying "hot
water by wire
In citing the reason for this
sudden rush to heat water by elec
tricity the cooperating dealers state
that the new electric water heaters
are entirely automatic so that one
has merely to install the heater and
then forget all about it and yet be
sure of hot water whenever he opens
faucet. The new models are
claSSed as being noiseless, clean and
100 per cent safe. The insulation
around the hot water is so thick
that one can hardly tell that the
water is hot whenever he toucneS
the outside of the new streamlined
tanks. The dealers pointed out that
this is a particular advantage in
Imperial Valley in the summer time
where people want hot water but
do not wish their kitchen to be
heated up by the old fashioned
water heaters.
The factor which has helped in
the sale of electric water heaters in
the valley is the low flat rate power
which The Southern Sierras Power
Company is offering to all of its
customers who install approved
electric water heaters in connection
with an election range. Under this
system the customer does not have
a meter but has the right to have
hot water at all time for a very
nominal flat rate month
Some of the many uses for cleo
trically heated hot water, according
to the local merchants, are wash
ing clothes, bathing, shaving, wash
ing the dishes, and washing the hair.
1t is reported that many barber
shops beauty parlors, restaurants,
and hotels are also installing new
automatic electric water heaters
which are proving SO popular in the
majority of Imperial Valley homes.

freedom from the many tribulations
of less efficient cooking instruments.
ut is now possible for a house
wife to prepare a complete meal
place it in the oven of a modern
electric range, and, after setting
the controls, leave the house ano
enjoy any social or cultural pursuit
she may wish without worrying
about the preparation of the meal"
McCulloch explained Through the
entirely automatic operation of a
control, the range will turn itself on
at the predetermined time, cook
the meal, and if the housewife is
delayed in returning, the control
will turn the range off, and the
retained heat in the oven will keep
the meal sufficiently warm for serv-
ing for several hours.
by this method it is possible for

Nearly third of a million dollars
worth Of electric appliances has been
sold in the valley since July 13, ac-
cording to officials of the Power
company who said that by the sale
of this large amount of electrical
appliances, Imperial Valley now very
likely exceeds any other like section
OF the world in the use of electric
equipment for the performance of
household duties The power COM
pany stated that all of the dealers
as we'll as itself have been more than
surprised at the tremendous re.
sponse which the public has given
to the sale of washers, ironerS, re-
frigerators, ranges and water heat
ers during the past months. In
fact, one large independent dealer
in the valley was heard to remark,
During this last campaign I have
sold more ranges in one week than
II used to sell in a whole year."
y Under the campaign in progress
it is possible for every resident in
the valley who uses Southern Sier-
raS power to go to any dealer in
the valley or to the power company
and purchase the electrical appli
ance he needs. BY merely pay
the first months installment the
appliance is delivered to his home,
completely wired and serviced. The
customer than pays for this appli-
ance by small monthly additions to
his electric bill.
The power company has stressed
that it will accept for sale under its
plan only the first grade appliances
of nationally known manufacturers
and that in no case seconds will be
acceptable for purchase.
In addition to the low monthly
payment, the dealers have been
stressing the fact that if one buys
during the present campaign, he
gets free wiring, which in the past
has usually cost $50 to $35, on ranges
and water heaters. Free servicing
during the life of the purchase con-
tract is another advantage of the
present campaign and a feature
which has never before been offered
in the valley.

effects that physicians in general have discontinued preliminary tests of the skin to see whether the child is immune to diphtheria, and instead recommend universal appli- cation of the toxoid inoculation.
 Il is best given to children before the time of their entrance to school
 In children who live in cities, toxoid inoculation is best given be- tween the sixth and 18th months. In children housed in institutions, such as orphan asylums of protec- tive homes, inoculation against diphtheria may be practiced in the third month.
 Millions of children have been inoculated with toxoid without harmful results.
 Inoculations against scarlet fever, typhoid fever, and other infectious diseases that have been mentioned are not generally recommended as as routine.
 Whether such inoculationS are to be applied should be left to the family doctor, who will make his decision on the basis of the prevalence of the disease in the community and the Likelihood of infection of the individual child.

 Is My Face Red
 Does the skin absorb the vitamin D we get from the sun? What do you think about vitamin soap? (. (Mrs. T. F. D.
 Answer-No. The ultraviolet rays of sunlight cause chemical change in substances in the skin called ster- ols, changing sterol into viosterol, which is vitarlnin D. The viosterol is carried through the blood to other parts of the body. Nothing is ab- sorbed through the skin. Exposure to sunlight is always healthful, pro- vided sunburn or sunstroke is avoid ed. The best way to get vitamin D is by taking it internally. A single drop of conDol, for instance, gives you 300 units of vitamin D. Every adult needs perhaps 1000 to 2000 units daily; rapidly growing infants need 5000 units daily; some invalids need 100000 to 6O0,000 units daily for 8 while. Egg y0lk, butter. cream. milk, liver are the only natural foods containing vitamin D in significant amount. and these do not provide enough for a growing child. Fish liver oils have been depended on as the main source of vitaman D, until the modern synthetic (irradiated er- gosterol, viosteroD vitamin D came Into use. But please don't embar- rass me by suggesting that yitamin D is the exception to the rule. I still maintain with reasonable as- surance that nothing is or can be absorbed through unbroken skin.

 Your diet has more to do with the condition Qf your skin than most women seem to realize. IT your pores secrete too much oil, eliminate heavy desserts and fried food for one month, substitute fresh vege- tables green salads and fruit or vegetables juice in their place and, ct the end of the thirty days, notice the improvement in your skin.
 See that your cleansings arc thorough. Wash with soap and wa ter and e complexion brush ct night, with soap and water Q rough wash cloth in the morning and ct noon. After the night cleansing, pat on an astringent lotion. If you must use powder base, pick one Of the greaseless liquid varieties. Or, If you like, use Q face powder liquid in. stead of foundation and powder. %.
 Masks are especially beneficial to oily skins. There are several pre- pared types on the market, of course. If you arc busy person, look for one that does It's work in, five or ten minutes. If your budget is limited, you can find ingredients for excellent masks right on your medicine shelf.
 For instance, cucumber masks often are recommended for oily, skins. You simply peel 6 cucumber, leave the strips of outer skin In a small bowl of water overnight, then. next day, after you have washed with soap and water place them on. face and throat.
