Mest Valuable and Trust- worthy of ~ ELECTRICITY The exact nature of electricity still is too wonderful, too mysteri- ous, to be fathomed. Still a great deal is known about the power, the possibilities, the be- havior, the uses of Electricity. Especially in the household does electricity demonstrate its friend- ship for Man. ~ It can be adapted to such a variety of purposes. Its Light has made the home bright and cheerful and healthful. Through Electrical Appliances, it has freed the housewife from numberless disagreeable tasks. And withal, it is safe, when properly used, and inexpensive. In modernizing a home, Electric Wiring is among the first considerations. Very often, however, a house has an insufficient number of Electric Outlets. Electric appliances cannot be employed to their fullest advantage, and lamps cannot be placed correctly. The cost of installing more outlets is so low, you cannot afford to do without them. Many home-owners do not realize what a false economy inadequate lighting is. Eye-strain, whether in children or adults, is a high price to pay. Wherever a light- ing fixture or lamp is needed, it should be installed without delay. Not only as a health measure, but to increase the safety and comfort and pleasantness of the home. For instance: In dark clothes or linen closets; over the kitchen basin; above the bathroom mirror; on the back porch. At intervals, a general inspection of your electrical system and apparatus should be made. The cords of electrical appliances may need to be renewed. All exposed wires should be examined for poor insulation. Extra fuses for the fuse box should be kept on hand. If a fuse blows out, it may result from a short circuit due to de- fective electrical equipment or a worn cord. If appliances and cords are in good con- dition, and fuses continue to blow out, the trouble probably is in the main wiring system, and should be promptly located and repaired by an electrician. By having plenty of wall outlets and floor plugs, you will avoid the overloading of a circuit, which is one of the most common causes of blowing out fuses.
