Western Electric Fans
Marketed by the Western Electric Company,
105 Weat 40th St., New York City
LOOK well at the row of fans illustrated
on this page. They are all perfectly
good fans, doing their work efficient?
ly, running smoothly and noiselessly, good in
?truction and reasonable in price.
It is literally a case of paying your money
?rid taking your choice. Some of them are tiny
de-sk or table fans only six inches in diameter;
others are eight, nine, ten and twelve inches.
The amount of breeze thrown depends ? good
deal upon I ?M fan, but even the
six-ir.ah fellows can make it pretty tolerably
cc?ol in their immediate vicinity. The larger
ones undertake cheerfully the contract of low?
ering tha temperature of a whole room.
The Western Electric 6-Inch Fan
This Is a small, low-pric?d fan, finished in
frost bronze. It has four blades and weigh?
only 4*? pounds. It can be connected to a lamp
socket by six feet of flexible cord, and op?
erates on either alternating or direct current
of proper voltage. The cot?t of operation at
10 cents per kilowatt hour is about one-quarter
of s cent per hour. Price, $6.95.
The Western Electric 9-Inch Fan
A wall and desk type, m'.de in non-oscillat?
ing and oscillating styles. It weighs six pounds,
is finished in a smcxrth dull black and has four
polished brass bladt?. The base l*s rubber-cov?
ered, to prevent marring any polished surface
upon which it may rest, and contain3 a sliding
switch, which gives high, medium and low
speeds.
The fan can be tilted forward or backward,
or, by removing and replacing a winged screw
bolt, it can be turned at right angles. The arc
of oscillation may be either 30, 60 or i>0 de?
grees. It is equipped with nine feet of flexible
connection cord, with lamp recket attachment.

Sometimes a black Spack can be seen and an

by means of a needle, pin, or even s knife blade.

Little Beauty Night Lamp
Made by Silver & Co., 304-314 Hew?,? St.,
Brooklyn. N. Y.
The full convenience of this small night lamp
is felt in the country home which has neither
fas nor electricity, for it is a small adjustable
oil lamp that can be rwt M a tat.lc or lci^e or
hung on the wall a? ile'-ired.
Kvcn in houses where gas or electricity i
available then1 art often ?lark pla?ai on the
.-'.airs or in the hull which naad illuminating.
It la for jus! auch piare? that this little lamp
il provided. Any housewife will see its possi?
bilities for the bathroom, nursery or sickroom.
The lamp il made of nickel plated brass and
o?nsists of a circular disk-like oil reservoir
with a gooeenecl stem that contains the wick.
Mounted on the upper end of this stem is an
opaque china globe. When the lamp is set
down or hung by the ring it remains in a ver?
tical position and burns kerosene oil without
producing either orlor or smoke.
It is possible to regulate the size of flame
produced, therefore the lamp is especially con?
venient in places where a low liuht is con?
stantly required. The oil chamber when full
holds one-third of s pint, With a low flame
this will give forty hour**' service. Price, 75
cents.
Enterprise Beef Tenderer
Made by the Enterprise Mfg. Co., Philadelphia,
Pa.
Unless the efficient old gentlemen who made
the Spanish Inquisition so interesting to here?
tics were dyed-in-the-wool conservative? they
would have welcomed with rejoicing this small
inatrument of torture.
Luckily, by the time beef is ready for "ten
Icing" it does not care much what is done to

Bread used for luncheon and break?

rye. bran or corn meal. These name
material? can be made into tempting
dinner rolls, br?*ad slick?, or loaves of
bread for the evening meal, thereby
saving the wheat flour for export.
It may seem a little thing to do en?

as well as her pleasure*, to serve them
bountifully upon the family table.
Two fish dinners are given for the
week: the planked mackerel served on
TaeM-Say and the broiled bluefi??b on
Saturday. The former will doubtless
give siitfii ient lefl-over fish for the fish
mousse for Wednesday's luncheon and
the latter a fish salud for the Sunday

mousse is particularly recommended
as suited to a sultry summer da?., i^nd

Holt No. 5 Cup-Beater
Made by Holt-Lyon Company, Tarry town, N. Y.
This egg-beater differs from othera of the
hover type in having the beater part egg
shaped instead of circular. Recause of this it
not only fits into a cup or glas?* quite as easily
as other small cup-beaters, but also beats one
egg in a bowl quite as well as in a cup.
Its ability is by no means confined to one
egg, for it can take care of four or five quite as
easily. Its strong hold upon the affection?, ?f
tho housewife lies in the fact that it can do
both. This means one more utensil that will
take the place of two.
In the test given in the Tribune Institute
laboratory this beater whipped one egg white
into a stiff standing froth in 16 seconds, and
brought four whites to the same pitch of cxcel
lence in less than 60 seconds.
Price, 20 cents.
(Other articles which have been teated
and endorsed by The Institute are ahown

has time. Most housewives must have
a quicker method. The United States govern?
ment, inclining its august ear to the wai' of the
overworked swatter, offers two solution? which
in death to flies, but harmless to children:
A formaldehyde solution of approximately
the correct strength may be ma?lc by '?dding
three teaspoonfuls of the concentrated for?
maldehyde solution, commercially known as
formalin, to a pint of water.
The proper solution of sodium salicylate may
be obtained by dissolving three teaspoonfuls of
the pure chemical fa powder) to a pint of
water.
The government aleo offers a mother's helper
sort of suggestion as to how to make a fly
fountain of the solution.
An ordinary thin-walled drinking glass is
tilled, or partly filled, with the solution. A
r or smali plate, in which is placed a
piece of white blotting paper cut the size of the
dish, is put bottom up over the glass. The
whole is then quickly inverted, a match placed
Under the glass, and the container ?s ready
for use.
.\s the aolotion dries out of the saucer, the
liquid seal at the edge of the glass is broken
end more liquid flows into the lower rc<? ptacle.
Of course an obvious advantage is that no
one will carelessly drink the contents of the
?lass if the glas*? is upiide down. Unlett, per
? hance, in a topsy-turvy house.
A much more poetic method is to drive away
the flies with pleasant odors; that is, odors
i K liant to humans and very distasteful to flies.
Lavender is the flies' favorite dislike. Take
live cents' worth of oil of lavender, mix it with
the came amount of water, put it in a common
frlass atomizer and spray it around the dining
room, even on the table linen.
Tramp flies, after BOefe an experience, will
? halk outside the windows warning to friends,
"Beware thi? perfumed room, Ely while the
living's good."
What an Attractive Sign Will Do
IN THE recent campaign to prevent the sale
of artificially colored and flavored stuff
under the name of Orangeade, one little
stand on the East Hide presented a particularly
flagrant case.
The investigator told the proprietor posi?
tively that he must either refrain from calling
the concoction Orangeade, cr stop selling it.
In the course of making his checking-up
round the following week he was surprised to
find Abe's stand flaunting a big sign reading
"Orangeade: Artificially Colored and Highly
Adulterated."
"You see, I'm following rules." grinned the
proprietor.
"But?hasn't it ruined your buainesa?"
"Business was never so good! You see, them
words 'colored' and 'highly' sounds good, and
they don't know anything about the reat of it.
They don't care. It's just s good-looking aign
to them!" M. ?S. C.
