SCIENTIFIC housekeeping threat
!? ens to become a fomlnlno slogan
ns scientific management has become
a motto in cortaln masculine busi
ness. Why not, too?
Housekeeping Is or should do a
business as really as manufacturing
Btccl or woolens.
When science Bliall havo. put moro
apparatus Into the- housowlfo's hand,
ns cookery by electricity, practical
dishwashing machines, vacuum clean
ors or washing tubs that clean the
clothes or themselves, then the ser
vant will be reduced to harmless ills
uso and yet much drudgery with Us
waste of time ana vigor win ruyaii.
Keeping house- may yet bocomo the
delightful occupation that It now In
not for tho homemaker who has to
do her own work. Tho bachelor
maids who have entored more re
munerative or congenial fields may
bo lured back to homes of their own.
Tho homes of tho future will sur
pass tho homes ot the Ra8t- .ww

Double During Dark Months
Accident insurance statistics show that twice u
many" injuries to factory operatives occur in
the dark winter months as during tho light sup
mor montiis:
The cause principally is poor interior lighting
too few lamps and poor methods of illumination.
Bad factory lighting also diminishes products
ana aaas to damaged material.
Our lighting experts will plan installations for
wona-ooms and factories which will reduce i
personal injury list, increase production and
very likely decrease tho expense of lighting.
