Friction Matches.
Friction matches aro a comparative
ly modern invention. They were first
mado by John Walker la England In
1827, but were rather crudo affairs.
Ho Improved them somewhat In 1833
by using phosphorus. Tho first really
practical friction match was made In
the United States In 1830 by L. O. Al
loa of Springfield, Mass. Before this
tlmo a clumsy form of match was Im
ported from Franco, which had to bo
dipped Into a bottlo of sulphuric acid
beforo it could bo lighted. This took a
great deal of tlmo uud trouble, nnd
Allen, seeing the necessity for friction
matches, set about to make them and
succeeded. Ho neglected to patent
them, however, and on finally apply
ing for letters patent found that a
man named Alonzo Phillips, who was
a peddler, had discovered through a
third person tho secret of making tho
matches and had already obtained a
patent Thus Allen, though tho real

Value of Hot Plate
to the Housewife
The value of nny article or appliance is measured
by what it will do for you and (lie results it will
accomplish. Measuring the value of a HOT
PIjATI3 to you by this standard, you will be get
ting 100 per cent and up- on your investment.
Comfort and Convenience
More than Money
Anyway, the. comfort and convenience yon got
from anything is more to you than the actual
cash expended, even if you did consider tho price,
too high which it isn't.
YOU MAY NOT KNOW
That you can cook HOT CAKKS; fry any kind
of meat; toast bread; prepare coffee; boil soup

believe it, "ask the man," or try the Hot Plato.
OCCUPIES SMALL SPACE
A Hot Plate occupies little room place it on a
box or small table in the corner of the room out
of the way thus saving you floor .space, which
is a great consideration in some kitchens.
THREE GRADES OF HEAT
By turning a switch you regulate the heat you
can have high, medium or low, as desired. You
can make your afternoon social calls, leaving
your meat on to boil, and find it done when you
return. It works right along while you aro gone,
keeping up a steady, even degree of lioat, which
is so desirablo for efficient cooking,
