CONVEN IENCE AND ENJOYMENT It is an impatient, speed-mad age. and electricity, quicker even than light, is the one agent to faithfully keep the pace a hustling people ha ML This insatiable demand for peed has done more to further the wonderful development of electricity in the past iew years than any one thing. In this "press-the button" age both necessities and luxuries are de manded at the touch of a finger. The mails are too slow, and elec tricity must carry the messages through the air over the seven seas! Steam power is too cumbersome, and electricity must bear the burdens Oil and gas are too inconvenient, and electricity must give light! Last of all, coal has been pronoun ted archaic and electricity must give heat! There is no time to waste over slow fires. The demand is for in staataneous heat and plenty of it- El ectricity, which has answered, 'all the problems of speed, has been called pon and the result is a long list of electric radiators and electric heat ing for cooking devices. No more mysterious source of heat can be imagined than that afforded br electricity. Without flame, smoke or gases it is ready in an instant aqd can be regulated at will from a slight warmth to the carbon-melting tem peratures of the electric arc furnace. The convenience, speed, and cleanli ness of electric heat has led to many new developments in electric house ' Bold devices. Among .the latest heating devices which have been perfected for the home, are the instantaneous heater; the electric curling iron heat er; the electric hair dryer; the new electric oven; the electric corn pop per; shaving mug; luminous radia tors and electric tea kettles. These added to the number of frying pans, broilers, cookers, cereal cookers the house. The building can be eas ily heated by electricity- The cook ing, washing, ironing and scrubbing can all be done by electricity. Wat er is heated to a boiling point as fast as it can be drawn. A turn of the switch and the irons are hot A press of a button and the dinner is cooking. At the weight of a finger the house is warmed, ventilated or lishted. With the same ease and speed the small electric motors will do the washing, wringing, grinding, freeze the ice cream, sweep the floors clean the house, carry the coal or sift the ashes. The instantaneous water heater can be attached to any wash stand or water pipe. The flowing water passes over the heated surfaces and is quite hot by the time it reaches the outlet. There could be nothing quicker or more simple than th'S electric convenience. Another new device is the electric hair dryer. Af ter miladi has washed her hair 1 press of a button starts the hair dry er and a fine breeze of hot air quick !y dries the damp tresses. The de- vire contains a small fan and two electric heaters. The cold air pass es over these .heaters before it is pro jected from the machine by this fan Then the curling iron heater is ready to keen the little iron at just the rieht temperature for dressing the hair. The sharing mug is especially de itrni-d for the travelling man who wants a quick shave in the morning The water is heated in short order and the cup is built in sections so the soap dish can be removed making the same vessel answer for a pint of water heater. The electric corn poper makes it possible to pop com on the parlo table and never mar the varnish- Th handy device is equipped with small rubber wheels and a short wood han dle so it can be easily oscillated. A wire screen keeps the popping ker nels from flying about the room. The electric oven, which has late ly been improved, is now very quick and economical. There is no waste of heat and the foodstuffs are always baked evenly. The new tea kettles are handy and easily keep a supply of hot water always on hand, as, af ter the water is heated, it takes but a little current to keep it hot. The electric sterilizer and bandage heaters are the latest acquisitions to toasters, etc.. already in use make! the sick room and are of fully as the electric kitchen practically com plete. There is no longer any need of a fire in the house or a chimney on APTP . r n 1 J L .J SUFFERING TENYEARS Cured by Lydia E. Pink ham's VegetableCompound rBT,Tow. VJ. IfeelthatLvdiaE.

The luminous electric radiator, in troduced in this country by the Gen eral Electric Company, is the most perfect source of heat known. At the snap of he switch the radiator gives a flood of radiating heat and a cheer ful glow without gases odors and fire dangers. The heat radiates through the air warming the room many times quicker than other heaters or stoves of the non-luminous sort which depend upon setting up warm currents of air. Evidence that electricity as a sour ce of heat is taking a very important place in this impatient world is that the Eagle hotel, in Grand Rapids, Mich., has been equipped with lum inous electric radiators. It is the first hotel in the world to be heated with electricity. Nearly five hun dred homes in the same city are us ing electric cooking devices and oth er electric heating apparatus. In nearly every city or village boasting of an electric light plant the electri: heating and cooking devices are be ing utilized. The Hillman house in Schenectady, N. Y-, and the home of J. E- Davidson, in Montpelier, Vt and H. Georgia Knap, Yf Troyes, France, the ' Sinsabaugh house at Carroltoff, 111., are entirely equipped with electricity and the results have been even more satisfactory and eco nomical than when upder the old system. A number of the large res taurants in this country and abroad electric kitchens. The bachelor-girl, and the plain, old-fash ioned masculine bachelor, have adop ted the cooking devices and now they cook their own breakfasts and lun cheons in the time it formerly took thorn to walk to the restaurant. The tailors and laundries use the electric irons; the doctors use the electric heatine devices. Soldering irons, branding irons, glue pots, and a thou mid other things are heated by elec tricity. As electricity dominates the world f light and power today, tomorrow it will be the principal factor in. the world of heat. Bread making is the oldest indus try in the world. Way back in the re mote past, as far as the faintest re cord goes mankind was making bread and ever since it has been known as the staff of life. The first bread of which we have anv knowledge was simpiy grain soaked in water, and pressed mM rude cakes. These were dried in the sun or over a fire. This was the bread of the cave man. Eventually, with the slow progress of civilisation, the grain began to be mashed or ground between two ston es. The resulting cakes were easier to digest than the cakes made from the water-soaked grain, and were more nourishing. This form of bread still survives, and may be found In many parts of the world. It is thi daily food of thousands of people in Mexico, and in Scotland is known as "oat cakes" and "scones." Leavened bread, or bread "raised" by the fermentation of yeast is at tribnted by history to the Egyptians They probably learned the process from some preceding civilization, all record of which is now lost. The Egyptians taught the Greeks and Jews; the Greeks in turn taught the Romans, and the process has descen ded without any material change ton the present day. It is the oldest in dustry in the world, yet it has been the last to feel the influence of mod ern progress. Until some thirty years ago, bakers made their bread as it has been made for centuries, by punching or kneading the dough by hand. Other industries had been searchingly investigated by science, new methods had been introduced, and machinery had been invented to take the place of hand labor. In bread making, however, nothing of the kind had been done. The first mechanical dough mixer, a very crude machine, was exhibited for the first time in this country a the Centennial in 1876. This mach ine aroused the attention of several progressive men until the modern dough mixing machine was perfected much against the will of the majority of bakers, it must be confessed. Oth er machines quickly followed until bread is now produced almost entire ly by machinery. The dough is mix ed by machinery, then divided into pieces the right size for a loaf by an other machine; a third machine moulds the dongh into the right shape and a fourth machine is usea for kneading or rolling of the dough for particular kinds of bread. Keeping pace with bread-machinery are the machines for making cakes. All our cakes, by the way, had their origin in sweetened bread, and bread and cake machinery may be considered as very closely asso ciated. There are now, in everyday use machines for beating eggs, 'pony' mixers for mixing cake and p;e doughs, cake machines for placing the dough on the pans in various sizes and shapes, pie-rolling and pie filling machines for the making of pies, and various other machines fo speciai purposes. Each of these machines, whether for the making of bread or the mak ing of cakes, requires power of some kind to drive it. A steam engine or a gas or gasolene engine may be us ed, but nothing is so well adapted to the baker's needs as electricity. The electric motor is the ideal power for the bakery because it is the perfec tion of cleanliness. Modern sanita tion demands that a bakeshop be kept clean and it is to the baker's best interest to see that this demand is complied with. And then, too, the cost of installation and repair lor electric power is less than the firs cost and maintenance of any other power. J. H. Day, of Cincinnati, was the first to produce an electrically driven dough mixer and since then electri city has been successfully applied to all other machinery in the bakeshop, including the egg-beater the 'pony cake mixer, the cake machine, the loaf divider, dough moulder and even the flour sieves. While the development in the bak ing business in the last thirty years has been remarkable, to close obser vers it seems only a beginning. Some means will eventually be founl whereby a loaf of bread may be kept fresh and sweet for a week or poss ibly longer. Meat and other food products are now shipped to all the parts of the world, yet it is only in comparatively recent years that such a thing has been posible. It it not in the least visionary to predict that bread will eventually be shipped in the same way. When the loaf of bread that will keep is produced, great bread factor ies will be established in all large cities, each factory baking possibly a SPRING OPENING 200 Distinctive Spring 11K)0 Models ' NOW READY JacKets, resses joo distinctive models selected from S to 10 leading New York munnfncturcrs ami every garment ordered lo be hip ped by express as Soou as ready, is responsible for the jrreatest showing of beautiful bpnng 1909 ocI ver shown in Asiona. - MONDAY Every express has brought us from one to six packages for the past ten days, and 110 city can show you the ucw I909 creations earlier than we, Be sure and come.

With t) vast an increase in production will come a demand for machines that are not now thought of, or are only sug gested. They will be as numerous as the machines in a shoe factory, or in a cotton goods mill, and electric mot or will drive them all. One of the most novel uses for the electric motor is reported (rom Ne vada, Iowa. A man who is extensive ly engaged in the poultry business has rigged a revolving brush driven by a small electric motor for wash ing the feet of the newly killed fowls before shipment. The automatic electric egg-boilers, like those on the I.usitania and Mau- retania, are able to cook 200 eggs at once, a clock arrangement causing the basket containing the eggs to hop out of the water at any half min ute up to six minutes. Another nov elty is a self-dumping oyster-cooker for stews. At the expiration of a given time the cooker pours its con tents into a soup plate and automa tically shuts off the electricity.

Electric trucks have superseded the old horse trucks on the Brooklyn water front. The old three-wheel horse trucks proved at best a slow method of transportation and the shod feet of the horses rapidly wore out the planking of the piers making the item for repairs a heavy one.

A recent tabulation of figures shows that California rank? first in the amount of electric power generated in that section of the coun try with 520,843 kilowatts. The an nual output of Washington is 123,882 kilowatts. Oregon has an output of 43,303 kilowatts. Arizona ranks next and Nevada takes fifth place on the list. . The largest percentage of electri city generated by waterpower is de veloped in the state of Washington Tn this state 28,517 kilowatts are gen erated by steam, 380 kilowatts by gas, and 95.485 kilowatts by water power. In California 156,539 kilowatts are developed by steam, 16,569 by gas and 347,735 by water. Oregon s de velopment by water is even less pro-portionatcly. INSURGENT POLICY.
