H At Borne of the booths where cook- H ing utensils are Bhown thero will be H demonstrations of cooking by electric- L ity samples will be distributed and j the public invited to partake of the i dlllcacies thus prepared. Many souv- j enlrs will be given away, and there H will be prizes awarded for the beat B displays. j One of the lessons which will be BBBBJ1 taught by the display is that the ubo BBBH of electricity in the home especially BH I n ii .Tin" the kitchen. Is far from being as : expensive as the public imagines; that In fact It is a cheaper fuel for cook- J ing purposes, and oven. In some ca- I ses, tor heating, than is coal or gas. j Statistics compiled by the Utah I Light & Power company show that j there are in use In Ogden now four- 1 teen electric kitchen ranges. Infor- H mation gathered from the owners of I these stoves is that all the cooking i done in the several homes In which I they have been Installed is done on D these ranges baking, included. And fl tho light company's bills show that I the bills rendered these families av- erage from 50 cents to $1.50 each 1 month less than were the monthly I bills for coal and gas before the elec- 9 trie ranges were installed. I The same applies to the various II home heating devices sold by the Og- fl den dealers. Tho use of a bath room I heater, for instance, Is shunned by tho 1 average housewife, for tear of the pll- 1 Ing up of prohibitive bills for power. I And In many cases to suggest the in- H stallatlon of a heator to take the place I of the flreplaco or tho base burnor is 1 hailed as the suggestion of an lmpos- I slble extravagance. And yet cold I facts show that it is cheaper to heat II the room or the house with electric- J ity In many instances than by the I fireplace, the stove or the base burner I Special Rates. l The light company allows a special rate for ho current used in heating or 1 cooking devices. This is threo cents I pel kilowatt hour as compared to the I nine cents per kilowatt hour charged I for lighting current A Bpecial meter 1 Is installed when these appliances are 1 put In the home, and the current used 1 in the range or tho heater passes I through this meter, upon which tho three cent rate is charged. I Among the exhibits at the Electrical 1 display are ranges which are a mar- I vel ot convenience. These ranges I may be regulated so that any intens- 1 Ity of heat may be produced. They I operate in much tho same fashion as I does tho flreless cookor. The din- g ner may all be cooked at once and the I heat so regulated that it may be left I in the range in the morning and found 1 ready to serve at noon, mid-afternoon I or evening whenever the housewife I (Continued' on Pago 5) 1 tt ELECTRICAL PROSPERITY i SHOW IN FULL BLAST I t HI 9 j' (Continued from Pago Four.) ft decides to sorvo it. Food, left In tho H 1 electric rango never burns. Tho flro always Is of oven Intensity, never flar- B ing up and cooling as does the coal g. flro; never accumulating heat as docs the gas ovon. n It Is a matter of proven fact that ' tho operation of any ono of the differ- ont makes of electric ranges on dis- K Play this week at tho big exhibit may m bo operated in tho kitchon at a less $ ;? cost to the family treasury than a gas k if stove used for a similar amount of S ' cooking, it is much cheaper than a n :f coal stove. $ ' Another convenience which would I bo a boon to many housewives If they could but be persuaded to try it,, say f I tho electrical dealers.. Is the electric I washing machine. Theso machines I i subtract nine-tenths of the burden of II tho family washing from tho woman's ii shoulders. Thoy are an almost hu-I hu-I j man device, receiving the soiled IB t clothes with a welcome and discharg- 1 ing them with a clean bill of cleanll- i hobs with a vim. I 1 Sewing Machines. f Then there aro sewing machine mo- S tors little contrivances that aro not 1 oven attached to tho ordinary sewing a machine: merely connected up v 'y the light socket and pjaced on i""- I shelf board of the machine anv sew" i j mg machine at all. Then to" start 1 ? and run the machine is merely to re- lcaso tho current at the socket Tho motor does the rest. It Is said these motors may be used on the sewinp machlno at a cost of something like ten cents a day. A unique exhibit is a baker's oven built in sections for uso either in the homo or the largest bakery. These ovens aro handy examples of tho triumph tri-umph of electricity In labor saving devices for tho home or business concern con-cern alike. One of tho exhibits at tho show will be a complete home parlor, sitting room, bed room, dining room, bath room and kitchen. In this homo is Installed all tho known contrivances Intended to ease the task of housekeeping. house-keeping. There aro indirect lighting systems that givo the artistic touch, and the washing machine that makes the last saying in tho usual drudgery of housekeeping. Throughout the house thero are beaters, lamps and countless little hidden sockets, each contributing a share to the sum of tho pleasure experienced in caring for "the electric home." In the kitchen thero are percolators, electric samovars, samo-vars, irons, kettles, an electric range; In tho bed room electric curling irons, hair dryers, hot water bottle, heating pads, a vacuum cleaner, a massage set and various other appurtenances o milady's toilet; In the dining room there are electric grills for tho dining room table, chafing dishes, toasters, tablo percolators and warming pads x1 - upon which to place tho moat plat-tors. plat-tors. On the porch, even, thero is an electric shoe dryer and duster thai effectively doesaway with the unsanitary unsan-itary door mat. Farm Machinery. Not the least interesting part of the display will be the demonstrations of farm and Irrigation machinery. Tho uso of electricity in tho driving of farm machinery is a now departure. It has been thought to be, and still is by many who are not correctly Informed, In-formed, too expensive a luxury Tor the average farm. This week's show will provo the fallacy of this argument. Huge, cumbersome machinery that can be driven at a less cost than by a gasoline motor will bo shown; and the method of using it will be carefully care-fully explained. Taken all In all the Electrical Show should be made one of the most educational edu-cational events, of tho season. To many a housewife it points the way to a lessening of the inconveniences of the homo; to many a family head it will offer a solution of financial problems prob-lems In the cutting down of tho light bill, the coal bill and the gas bill. |
