HINTS FOR PRACTICAL PEOPLE 589
ALARM CLOCK THERMOSTAT
T\/[ORE and more stress is being laid
*** nowadays on the fact that we must
have even, well regulated temperatures
in our homes if we are to be free from
colds, influenza, and pneumonia.
This can be done if you have for your
heating plant either hot water, hot air,
steam, vapor, or vacuum, by a little
eight-day clock which is a
part of a new heat regulator.
If you wish your temperature
to be 72° at

is put at 72 and

alarm for it, and also the
thermostat, and when you

is placed on a
wall in a con­ The Clock Thermostat
venientlocation, and can be adjusted so that
it will produce automatically a
lower temperature for the night,
and again in the morning for a
return a much warmer temperature.

or scraping the skin in your
haste to shave, if you still use the oldtime
razor. You may stick to your
preference for the blade of your
ancestors and still have a quick and safe
shave—if you wish to. An ingenious inventor
has brought out a device which
instantly turns any old-time razor into a
modern up-to-date safety. A piece of
brass, heavily nickeled, with the projecting
prongs characteristic of the sure
enough "patented" variety constitutes the
basis of the device. To this is screwed
a piece of curved metal, forming a
groove into which the blade of your razor
snugly fits. Thus without sacrificing the
cherished steel y»u have long used, and
