Do you want your food to remain in proper temperature for its safety until such time as you re- quire 1t for your table? An elec- tric refrigerator provides this sani- tary medium.
 You may be assured that your toast will not burn by buying one | of the new electric coasters that pop the toast out when it has be- come nicely Drowned, cooked to or der, as it were.
 There are 8 multitude of fixtures which you can plug in to get the best service possible to the modern kitchen, electricity becomes your servant in this Christmas season of 1888.
 Then, too, there are motion pie trre machines by which you can keep the record of the years of a home, replacing the family album with vital, living reproductions of events you want to cherish in re- troSpect.
 Thus, as Christmas hears, the es- sential progress of our daily lives is inextricable with the uses to which we may put electricity and the gamut of service these electri- cal devices provide is apparent in many Waterbury stores.
 Salary Bracket
 No Nnger, however, do all of these instruments of service and progress exist for those with where withal beyond the average. The majority of radios in the United States are found in homes of fami- lies in the $1,000 to $2,0O0 income group.
 More and more electrical equip ment replaces service of other kinds in homes where formerly house. work was a burden that rnenaced youth and domestic happiness.
 Today in Waterbury merchants are offering a legion of modern de- vices which can be put to use as mechanical Santa Clauses" throughout the years, performing their tasks with incompatible ef- ficiency every day in the year.
 Leading stores of the city have electrical equipment such as you should have in your home in order that the scheme of living keep pace with the progress of the times. There are new designs, new practical improvements, even for those families which have some of the outmoded appliances of years past.
 Ideal Gifts
 And electrical devices make the ideal gifts for members of your family and your friends. They are as lasting as progress, as modern as tomorrow, and theirs is the at- tribute of giving service even while they give pleasure; gifts for the years, not just for the day.
 Consider, then, the displays of ra- dios, cleaning devices, refrigerators and coolers; toys that appear alive once the Juice" is applied; when you make your choice of what to give this Christmas of modern times now only a few days away.

STRAUSS LOADED
 WITH YULE TOYS

For many years the people of Waterbury, especially those living in the east end of the city have made the Strauss Hardware store their official headquarters if they wanted to buy anything in the line of hardware and according to ad- vance reports the same people this year and perhaps hundreds of oth- CTS will make it their headquarters for toys as well.
 Lester Strauss, the owner of the firm has just stocked his store with carload of toys all of which have been marked at moderate prices.
 Each year for the past number of years MT. Strauss has handled toys at Christmas time but this year he has ordered more toys than ever before. In fact the appearances of the store has taken on the true Christmas spirit, on every hand can be found evidence that the store will cater largely to Christmas shop pers.
 The Strauss Hardware company features the products of the Gen. eral Electric company because ac- cording to MT. Strauss, the General Electric products are the best in the world.

| upon inspection how economically a modern new set can be acquired. The same enhancement of dollar values that will be apparent in standard home sets, will also be rec ognized in the realm of the small, or compact and midget radio. This year the tiny receiving sets become ! jewels of their lines.
 i Multiple Ownership
 Their irresistible lure, it is confi- dently expected, will go as far to- ward stamping the current season as the greatest era of multiple own- ership of radio sets by American families, as will the major improve ments in radio tend to make this season the greatest for replacements There is now a radio for every purse and purpose, and plenty of models of price sufficiently modest to enable most families to equip several rooms in the home with in- dividual sets.
 No general summary of the re- finements reflected by the new ra- dios for 1889 dare overlook the i'm portance of the new cabineting. The radio receiver as furniture gives much to home decoration this year. Cabinets in period, modern and even precedent-setting design en- able the discriminating home maker to better carry out her individual ideas.
 The development of automatic tuning and remote control of radios has had much to do with making possible the modern interpretation of radio as furniture.
 Mystery Control
 There is one line of radios that introduces system of remote con- trol which makes it possible for the owner to tune in wanted stations and adjust volume from almost any point in the house without the con- trol device being in any way con- nected by means of wires, with the receiver.
 Another device concentrating on predetermined control of the radio receiver, makes possible the pre- election of 8 variety of programs over 8 24-hour period and in >addi- tion can be adjusted to make the set start itself up in the morning and thus awaken the owner for the day.
 In still another progressive move one manufacturer has endowed his sets with tone control system that makes possible positive and accurate standardization of tone reproduc- tion to both broadcast quality and individual tastes of the listeners.
 Elimination of outside aerials or antennae is another forward step that has been successfully taken by several manufacturers who have, nevertheless, retained and enhanced the accuracy and sensitivity of their receivers in the process, especially in the realm of the high fidelity re- ception.

stomach is prepared to digest the

called appetite juice. It is quite with
in the bounds of possibility to sup
pose that the reason many people

The teeth are the most important
