"Housekeeping Is the largest single industry known, yet it is the one which is the most backward in the utilization of modern science toward definite labor-saving ends," writes Helen Louise Johnson in the "Good Housekeeping" mgazine. Referring to electricity as a means for operating the many labor saving devices. Miss Johnson continues: "For look what it will do. A good electric clothes washer with wringer attachment may. be purchased which will wash the" clothes better and in a more scientific manner than they can be washed by hand. In our laboratory we have had occasion to experiment upon the hardest kind of washing; towels and cloths saturated with black greasy dirt. In one case it took us 12 minutes to wash these clean; in others we have had to let the washers oper ate from 20 to 25 minutes while we have been doing something else," "A washing that would take two hours to acomplish by these means would be rinsed, blued, and hung out in this time; for when one set of arti cles has come out of the washer, these can be finished and hung out, while the others are in process of cleansing." "Ironing by electricity means the same amount of manipulation re quired as when ironing is done by any other means. The time is saved in the steady heat of the flatirons; that is, the heat is virtually continuous from start to finish. The woman's criticism of electric flatirons is that they get too hot rather than not give heat enough." Correspondence Invited. The Electrical Page will be published each issue of The Ob- server. In connection with the page a column devoted to corre- spondence from the people will be conducted. v If you have any new idea of how to get the best use of elec- trlclty in your home, or have any question to ask pertaining to elec- trlclty or its many uses, let The Observer help you.

Have you been thinking' of bright ening up your house with some new lamp shades or reflectors. If so, your greatest trouble will be in selecting the prettiest from the pretty ones. The portable table lamp Is made a thing of beauty as well as of use with the addition of an ornamental shade, while wall or ceiling lamps may al ways be dressed to suit the furnish ings and decorations of the rooms. Chafing Dish Recipes. (Electric Cooker.) Minced Mutton Two cups chopped cooked mutton yolks of six hard boiled eggs, three-quarter teaspoon mixed mustard, salt, cayenne, one cup cream, one-quarter cup wine. Mash Work Made Fun, 'It is fun, not labor, to use a sewing machine run by a motor attachment. The same motor, or that on the wash ing machine, can be used to turn the ice-cream freezer, the bread, or cake mixer, the coffee grinder, or meat chopper, as desired. The uses of the utility motor are manyv and yet the weary housewife patiently turns the crank by hand." If it's Electrical it's convenient, clean safe, sanitary, labor-saving, MODERN. Your ironing costs you too much in strength and time if you dorVt use an Electric Iron. To make the clothes last longer use a modern electric washer and wringer. A. few cents pays for current. Most women would rather do two ironings with an Electric Iron than one with an old-fashioned Iron. THE PERPLEXING QUESTION Don't you want your wife to have an Electric Iron to save her time and strength? ; The fascination of seeing things cook on the table by electricity stimu lates the appetite.
