design them are finding all sorts OF
queer places to put things. One we'll

shelves in the door which will hold an
incredible number of small food arti-

II you are one of the many Of us

standpoint and get one Of the new
ultraviolet lamps. By simply plug
ging into an electric outlet you can
bring the health-giving rays of the
Summer sun right into your home,
even though it is cold and miserable
outside. The new lamps are so
equipped that you can place them on
q nearby table, or adjust their full
length stands so that the rays can be
directed to the parts Of your previ-
ously sickly-lo looking body that you de-
sire to receive attention. The old
danger of serious burning from the
rays has been largely eliminated by
making the food of artificial sunlight
more moderate than was possible in
the past. There are also bulbs avail

N VOW that we are in the midst OF
nj the Christmas shopping season
" and every one Is in violent
buying mood, you should look
around and see If you can't find some
things for your homestead, be 1t large
or small We were utterly amazed the
other day when wandering around
through one of the larger stores to
find a great array of new devices and
articles which should make the busi-
ness of living a much pleaSanter and
happier one.
The electrical manufacturers seem
to have outdone themselves during the
last year cooking up new schemes to
make things easier for us. The average
housewife will soon be completely out
of date if she doesn't have the entire
kitchen operating by electricity. The
new electric stoves are marvels Of
economy and efficiency. All the cook
has to do now Is get the food organ
lied into the proper pans or containers
and place it in the automatically con-
trolled oven and let it go on about its
turned of at the proper time and kept
warm until the dining hour arrives.
Small portable electric ovens have
been brought out which will cook a
whole dinner and only occupy few
feet of space on a convenient table.
They are. of course, entirely automatic
| in operation.
Mixers Save Muscles.
The old arm-breaking methods Of
mixing batters, whipping cream or ex-
tracing juices are now thing Of the
past If you buy a modern electric food
mixer to help you with holiday dinners
and hundreds of other meals which
must be prepared the year around.
These new mixers will be a welcome
sight to any tired housekeeper on
Christmas morning. although she may
at the time say she had hoped for
something less practical. They are
! available in a wide range of prices
and designs, 50 that almost anybody
can enjoy the labor-saving facilities
of these handy little machines.

ing room as pieces of furniture. Their
cleaning white cases are styled in the
last word in modern design. and their
mechanisms have been constantly i'm
proved so that they now require no
oiling or servicing of any kind. A
number of the irritating little things
about electric ice boxes have been
taken care of. Instead Of having to
beat a frozen cube tray to pulp to get
it out of the refrigerator we saw one
that has little jack or pry bar ar
rangement built in which quickly re-
leases the sticking receptacle when
you push convenient handle. An
other one had lifting arrangement
which forces the cubes right out of the
little sections which usually grip the
ice in death-grip. The matter of

and Wales built nearly four times
as many homes during the depression
years 1890 to 1885 than did the United
States, and the most significant in
crease in building was made in 1884.
after all government subsidies, other
than those for slum clearance and
rehousing OF displaced workers, were
abolished in 1888. according to a
comparative study made by George
H Patterson, secretary Of the Mort
gage Bankers Association of America,
and which will appear in complete
form In the organizations semi
monthly publication.
During the six years from 1880 TO
1885 England and Wales built 1,406.-
725 new family dwellings, while in
the same period the United States
built only $4,000, an increase OF
1,057,725 homes. or nearly four times
as many. OF these, l,406,725 more
than q million were built by private
enterprise with no aid from the CEN

During 1885 England and Wales
will build around $40, 900 homes, COM

PLAN RESEARCH
IN PLUMBING
Iowa State University Plans
Program to Safeguard
Public.

A research program in plumbing
that will offer wide benefits to con-
sumers has been launched by the In
stitute of Hydraulic Research of the
College Of Engineering OF the State
University of Iowa.
The object of the research program
is to test and develop means Of pro-
tecting the public from the hazards
of unsafe plumbing. according to F. NJ
Dawson, dean of the college, who Is
director Of the institute.
The institute Is broad In its scope
and includes experts IN sanitary en-
gineering, chemistry, public health
officials and representatives Of the
department Of medicine of the State
University Of Iowa.
This coordination of effort enables
the institute to investigate the chemi-
cal. meteorological and hygienic as
poets of plumbing, as well as the
hydraulic and pneumatic functions of
a plumbing system.
"While much attention has been
given in the past to water purifica-
ton and the delivery of pure water
to a building, little attention has been
devoted to the equally important duty
of keeping the water pure after it
reaches the building" says Prof. Daw-
son.
"A study Of this problem involves
the sciences of medicine, bacteriology
and chemistry as well as HYDRAULICS
and pneumatics."

or a hoe. Don't disturb the ash under
the live Goals. That gives you a fire
bed sloping down from the edge Of the
door to the rear.
Now, shovel q charge Of fresh coal
into the hollow toward the back Of
the furnace, being careful to leave a
mound of live Goals in front These
live Goals ignite the gases rising from
the contact of the fresh and hot coal,
causing them to burn.
Finally, when these gases are thor
oughly burned, clean the ashpit and
reset the dampers. The turn damper
in the smoke pipe, remember, should
be nearly closed. The check damper
should be entirely closed. The ash
pit damper should be open. Open the

DIVIDEND IS SET
BYL0AN COMPANY
alexandria Firm to Pay 1l2
Per Cent to Shareholders
by January 10.

A semi-annual dividend OF ~ per
cent will be paid out or credited to
the accounts of shareholders OF the
First Federal Savings and Loan Asso-
citation Of Alexandria on or before
January 10, 1897, it was announced
today by Charles T. Nicholson, vice
president and executive officer. The
dividend was declared at meeting
Of the Board of Directors, held De-
eember 8 at the associations offices,
803 King street.
= The forthcoming dividend will make
q total Of 3 per cent in dividends paid
to shareholders during the first year
of the associations existence, as the
organization began business just about
O year ago, receiving its certificate of
insurance of shares from the Federal
Savings &, Loan Insurance Corp. on
December II, 1885. In addition to
declaration of the second semi-annual
dividend, the associations directors
voted to pass a substantial sum to the
undivided profits account, besides set
ting up the various reserve accounts
required by the Federal Home Loan
Bank system.
Starting with resources of approx
mately $4,000 year ago, the assets
of the association have grown to a
present total of approximately $780,
900, according to Nicholson, with all
required reserves established and an
undivided profits account exceeding
that required by Federal savings and
loan regulations.
Like other Federal savings and loan
associations. the association invests
its funds almost wholly in amortized
first mortgages on improved real es-
tate designed for the use of not more
than four families and having an ap-
praised value not to exceed $4,000.
The association is permitted to make
loans that are repayable monthly on
such property up to rs per cent of
appraised value. In actual practice,
according to Nicholson, the First Fed
eral of Alexandria receives loan ap-
plications which range from so per
cent to rs per cent of the appraised
value Of the property.
AS in other Federally chartered as
sociations, the First Federal of Alex
sndria has all of its share accounts
insured by the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corp, governmental
instrumentality, up to $4,000 for each
individual account.

Aluminium paint has high resist

fore an excellent paint to use for
exterior printing or for any other
place where a surface needs such
protection. If it is possible within

covering painted before erection, it
will prolong the life of the outside

The law fixes fees warehousemen
may charge for handling the States

than $1S,o0O,0OO this year.
Judge w. H. Barrett, of the south
err district of Georgia, and Judge E.

red in the opinion, declaring the act
was not confiscatory and that it did
not infringe on either the constitu-
tional rights of the warehousemen or
their status as persons engaged in
interstate. commerce.
Judge Bascom S. Beaver, of the
middle district of Georgia dissented.
The warehouse fee was passed by
the 1885 legislature, but warehouse
men attacked it before the 1885 to-

ference between the old scale of fees
and those provided by the law has
been impounded pending final adj

sum now exceeds $225,000.
