Beauty that never wears off, is the 
beauty that Bay State Coating 
puts on walls of brick, concrete 
and stucco. 
It goes to its work with a vengeance, 
gives more than surface beauty. 
It finds its way into every pore and settles there 
for life. It makes walls waterproof — at once and 
for all time. 
Bay State Brick and Cement Coating brings your 
home out of the background, and gives it the leading 
role of the neighborhood. 
All brick, concrete and stucco should be water¬ 
proofed. “Bay State” not onlv does that but makes 
your home radiant in a deligh tint or pure white. 
Our Book No. 2 and a sample will make you 
radiant with the thoughts of a Bay State Coated 
home. Write us. 
BAY STATE CEMENT CRACK FILLER is 
tonic for walls that crack. It is easily applied and 
not detectable.

Stain Your Outside Woodwork 
—shingles, siding, half-timbers, trellises, pergolas, sheds, fences—with 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
The rich, transparent coloring effects are more appropriate and beautiful than any other 
colorings, and they wear better, cost less, and are easier to apply. “Painty” effects spoil 
the beauty of the wood, and paint costs twice as much. The creosote thoroughly preserves the 
wood. Don’t buy stains that smell of kerosene; they are dangerously inflammable. 
You can get Cabot's Stains all over the country. Send 
for stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

The Electrocution of Laundry Day 
(Continued from page 82) 
except that I didn't tell you that the 
average washer full of very soiled clothes 
can be done in 20 minutes, while less 
soiled can be done in from ten to fifteen 
minutes. The average wash can be done 
in one washer full.” 
“And no more rasping of clothes 
against the mediaeval board and the 
grinding of women’s backs,” solemnly 
added Mrs. Webb. “And what ma¬ 
chinery shall I plan to get?” 
“For a family of five like yours you 
will need, I think: 
A pair of stationary tubs. 
A washboiler with hot and cold water 
and drain connection, and its own 
heating plant. 
A combination sleeve and skirt board. 
An electric ironing machine. 
Three electric irons according to fine 
work and valeting to be done. 
An indoor dryer with two units. 
Two tables for sorting and receiving. 
“There should be ample space, but 
not so much as to make the laundress 
walk too much in the performance of 
her work. You will not need the ex¬ 
tractor as the wringer will do for a 
family of your size.” 
“Here are my notes on arrangement; 
however, I think the study of the plan 
of my laundry will give about the best 
ideas.” 
Arrangement 
Assuring less expenditure in labor and 
money. 
1. Soiled linen chute in one corner of 
the room. 
2. A table near to sort laundry be¬ 
fore washing. 
3. Tubs in center of the room to be 
accessible. 
4. After clothes are washed and blued 
they can be partially dried in dryer 
and ironed. 
5. Then a table on which to place 
clothes to be ironed. 
6. Ironer next in the best light pos¬ 
sible and arranged away from wall 
to permit two people working at 
it, if necessary. 
7. Skirt and sleeve board next. 
8. After which another skirt and 
' sleeve board or a valet table or 
another plain table. 
“And remember that a stuffy laundry 
will turn out stuffy clothes, Shirley.” 
“Why have you two sleeve and skirt 
boards in the plan?” 
“I had one put there for the maids’ 
clothes but I have changed it for an¬ 
other table, that Rand’s valet uses. It 
has a place for brushes and iron at¬ 
tachments and drawer for stain ex¬ 
tractors, etc., etc. It’s really a great 
luxury. He doesn’t use it if possible 
on laundry days.” 
“What about the dryers?” 
“They are one of the things that one 
could get along without if one wanted 
to waste time in drying. They are ex¬ 
pensive to buy, but you are never held 
up by weather. They dry clothes a 
good color and one doesn’t miss the 
sun. They are heated by their own 
heat, electric or gas or can be attached 
to the coal stove and get the overflow 
heat. They are made to allow no heat 
to escape even when extended. (See 
illustration.) 
“Tables,” Shirley sped on, wanting to 
get through, “should be from 31 to 38 
inches high, if possible adjustable. The 
tops are most satisfactory in a non- 
porous porcelain or porcelain enamel. 
Some people like hard wood or metal.” 
“You have no sewing table in your 
laundry, have you?” 
“No, because it isn’t in the least prac¬ 
tical. My sewing is all done in the 
sewing room. It isn’t wise to mix 
processes, or too many types of servi¬ 
tors.” 
“You’re right. I can’t see my maid 
sewing or even doing the least bit of 
laundry incidental sewing in the laun¬ 
dry.” 
“Now, I think you have enough for 
one sitting, although I have enough 
more to make you dizzy.” 
“But please give me some parting in¬ 
junctions.” 
“I should advise you 
To go to the best dealer. 
Buy the best only; it reduces later 
costs. 
Simplicity, safety and serviceability 
necessary. 
Avoid machinery with extra parts 
to be cleaned or upon which in¬ 
jury to attendant or clothes can 
be perpetrated. 
Don’t buy until you are perfectly 
sure by numerous comparisons 
and other experience what are the 
best types of machinery to in¬ 
stall. Be sure to apply the three 
S tests: Service, Safety, Simpli¬ 
city.”
