Burn Electricity or Coal 
in this Deane French Range 
At a turn of a switch you get instant heat— 
high, medium or low—as desired. 
With electricity you get cleanliness because 
there is no soot or smoke to discolor utensils or 
kitchen walls. You are assured of safety for 
matches and explosive fuels are not used. You 
save time, for there is no waiting for a fire to reach 
a temperature suitable for cooking or baking. 
Deane french. Rancje 
using electricity in combination with coal, is one 
that you will take pride in showing to your friends. 
The plain, polished trimmings, the absence of 
“fancy work’’ to catch dirt, the angle base that pre¬ 
vents refuse from gathering beneath the range and 
stray drafts from cooling the ovens—all these fea¬ 
tures and more are found in Deane French Range. 
Consumption of fuel, be it electricity or coal, is 
held to a minimum. In fact, it has been said that 
the saving in fuel soon pays for the range. 
The range illustrated, built of Armco rust- 
resisting iron, is made in two sizes. The electric 
section at the left end has a large oven, a cooking 
top composed of four plates and a broiler in the 
plate shelf. The coal section has one oven and a 
fire chamber. The French hood collects cooking 
vapors and prevents them from circulating about 
the house. 
At your request, we will mail “The Heart of the 
Home”, our portfolio of special ranges. If inter¬ 
ested in the electric and coal range illustrated, ask 
for special folder.

vigor and broad adaptability. Gruss 
an Teplitz (probably not a real H. T.) 
will give an abundance of bright crim¬ 
son blooms if not too violently abused. 
Radiance has reliably shown its pink 
beauty in many places, and Ophelia has 
emerged from the greenhouses to be a 
fine garden rose. Mrs. Aaron Ward, 
also an escape from the forcing-house 
of the florist, will delight with its apri¬ 
cot buds. Killarney, Lady Alice Stan¬ 
ley, the lovely new Columbia, La Tos- 
ca, Mad. Abel Chatenay, Mad. Segond 
Weber, Duchess of Wellington—all these 
are likely to do well in most rose-gar¬ 
dens. Scores of other sorts will approve 
themselves on trial, and some will dis¬ 
appoint—if I knew certainly which, I 
would say so! 
Just a word about winter protection 
for these fall-planted Hybrid Tea roses. 
As the outdoor-grown “open-ground” 
plants are received (I would never think 
of planting the little own-root pot- 
grown plants in the fall), they will 
have the full year’s top-growth on 
them. This should be pruned or “cut 
back” to not over six or seven buds or 
eyes on each stem, and not more than 
three stems to a plant. The roots also 
need to be pruned only to smooth any 
ragged ends. When setting in the pre¬ 
pared ground, they should be enough 
deeper than they grow in the nursery 
to cover the junction of the bud with 
the root at least 2 ". When solidly 
firmed into the soil—and loose planting 
is an assurance toward failure!—pull up 
3" or 4" more of ground loosely about 
the stems. After this has frozen, weeks 
later, cover the ground with evergreen 
boughs or other loose litter, to serve 
as protection against the winter sun 
rather than against the winter’s cold. 
This protection must be loose and open, 
not close and tight; it is to shield 
against sun and wind, and yet must 
permit air circulation. If the spring 
shows some freezing back, simply cut 
away the dead wood, and if the root 
is uninjured Nature will provide a new 
top. 
Planni ng the Modern Laundry 
( Continued, from page 52) 
The laundry is not complete without 
a simple well-arranged cabinet to pro¬ 
vide for the storage of soap, starch, 
sleeve boards, clothes pins and other 
accessories. There may also be a com¬ 
partment for brooms and mops where 
these essentials may be hung up. 
The flooring material should be chosen 
with an idea for ease of cleanliness, 
comfort and durability. Wood is the 
most comfortable floor to work upon 
and is the cheapest but is difficult to 
keep clean and rots easily. Since tile 
and cement are too hard for comfort, 
a composition floor seems to be the ideal 
material. This can be carried 6" up 
the walls to form a sanitary base. A 
bell-trap can be placed in this floor to 
carry off the surplus water and to facil¬ 
itate cleaning. For a trifling additional 
expenditure the floor under the hamper 
could be raised 3" above the main floor 
of the laundry. This tends to keep the 
basket free from any moisture which 
might accumulate on the floor. 
If expense is not too great a con¬ 
sideration a tile wainscot about 3’ high 
on all four sides of the room adds to 
cleanliness and looks. A very good 
substitute however, is to plaster the 
wall with cement up to the same height 
and cover it with a gloss finished paint 
—this could be a shade darker than the 
wall above—and where the two meet 
paint a band of brown or blue about 
an inch wide. 
The initial outlay of this up-to-date 
laundry is soon overbalanced by the 
saving in wages, by gas and electric 
bills, and which is of greatest impor¬ 
tance, the time and strength of the 
housekeeper. These things far out¬ 
weigh the matter of initial expense for 
installation. 
Beauty and the Bathroom 
(Continued from page 51) 
There are some points in favor of 
the enameled tub. It doesn’t absorb so 
much heat from the water; hence a hot 
bath can be obtained in it more quick¬ 
ly. It is lighter in weight, therefore 
more easy to install in frame houses and 
its plumbing is easier to handle. Fur¬ 
thermore, greater uniformity can be had 
in its construction. 
In the tub which is built into the 
wall, there is a tendency to neglect 
proper piping conditions. When in¬ 
stalling a solid tub, it is necessary to 
build a bulkhead in back of the tub so 
as to take care of the waste pipe which 
should be available to the plumber as it 
often needs a new washer. Or it must 
be built against a closet wall so that the 
pipes are easy to get at, or against a 
hall wail or some stable place. 
Valves 
There are myriads of styles of faucets, 
vents and outlets used today in tubs. 
It was at first thought advisable to 
have the inlet as near the floor of the 
tub as possible in order to make the 
pour of the water practically soundless 
after the first inch or two came in. 
This is about the only advantage of 
this arrangement. It is far better to 
have the inlet higher up, either on top 
of the wall of the tub, or even in the 
wall above the tub. If it is in the wall 
of the room it is impossible to hit one’s 
back while bathing; and one may have 
a shampoo nozzle attached; or draw 
water from it whether one is in the tub 
or not, and when necessary, fill a pail 
or dish. There is more noise when the 
water is running into the tub, but what 
of it? If you have a good door on 
your room, that will silence the sound. 
With the low inlet, there is a remote 
danger of drawing in through the pipe 
dirty water from the apartment above 
if some one is bathing in the tub which 
is a twin to yours. It is quite possible 
for this to happen unless the plumbing 
system is very well contrived. 
One can have a hot water and a 
cold water faucet or one faucet from 
which both hot and cold come. This is 
a matter of taste. More often there are 
two, but many people like one, so that 
there can be a mixture of water, giving 
a comfortable temperature. 
Tubs, of necessity, have to be placed 
in many ways. When in recesses or in 
a corner, the valves, etc., can be placed 
at one end. When against a wall, the 
piping can be placed above the bath in 
the wall. This method often lends a 
luxurious air to a room and has been 
utilized in the most elaborate ones.
