Taking Turkish Baths in Your 

 Own Home 

 '' I X) the person who dislikes being 

 X "fussed over" and who yet enjoys or 

 regards as necessar\' the Turkish hot-air 

 bath, a recent invention will prove interest- 

 ing. It is an apparatus consisting of a 

 framework made of wooden arches which 

 are joined together by wooden shears. 

 These shears make the framework collap- 

 sible and adjustable to any size desired. 

 An ordinary' bed blanket is used as 

 a cover for the frame. Inside the ^ 

 frame is a heat concentrating, 

 distributing and circulating 

 chamber which is really a 

 chamber within a cham- 

 ber, the inner partition 

 being separated from the 

 outer by an air-space 

 which prevents the out- 

 side chamber from be- 

 coming dangerously hot. 



The heat is directed 

 into the inner chamber 

 and distributed through 

 an upper inlet. It passes 

 over the body of the per- 

 son lying in front of it and 

 the used air passes out 

 through an outlet in the 

 bottom of the chamber 

 and is discharged through 

 an opening in the top of 

 the outside chamber. Thus 

 the circulation of air over 

 the body is complete. 



The source of the heat is a galvanized iron 

 drum supported on legs which telescope to 

 any desired height. In this drum an 

 alcohol burner is held. The drum is con- 

 nected with the heat concentrating and dis- 

 tributing chamber by a pipe through which 

 the heat is directed into the outer chamber. 

 The device can be operated and regulated 

 by the person taking the bath. 



The frame is ugnt 

 but rigid and it is 

 easily collapsible 



Is Your Closet-Room Scarce ? Try 

 This Type of Wardrobe 



IX the large cities it is the day of birds' 

 nest apartments, light housekeeping and 

 kitchenette suites, where closets are at a 

 premium. Even in the suburbs and in the 

 country', commodious closets are giving 

 place to shirtwaist boxes and wardrobe 

 trunks. However, a wardrobe has been 

 designed by Carl A. Schlacter, of Manson, 

 Iowa, which takes the place of a closet and 

 may be made in such a way as 

 to contribute to the decora- 

 tion of the room in which it is 

 used. It consists of a sup- 

 porting framework which is 

 covered, top, bottom and sides, 

 with any desired material, 

 such as cretonne, silk or linen, 

 in color and design to harmo- 

 nize with the other draperies 

 or furniture of the room. 

 In connection with the 

 upper part of the frame is 

 a rod to accommodate 

 hangers. In this way a 

 dust-proof place is pro\i- 

 ded for hanging garments 

 at full length. Moreover 

 it is collapsible. The 

 frame is easily taken down 

 and rolled or folded up so 

 that it may be stored 

 away in the trunk and 

 used on one's travels, in 

 hotels, summer resorts, or 

 transient stopping places. 

 Snap-fasteners are used to close the 

 covering. Even the top piece is made to 

 open up readily, so that the back of the 

 wardrobe can be easily reached. Store- 

 keepers and dressmakers will also appreciate 

 this invention as a means of keeping fine 

 dresses or finished garments protected. 

 For such purposes the covering material 

 should be chosen with regard to durability.
