There's no use trying to demonstrate or even to imagine that ordinary toast is as good as ELECTRIC TOAST. In making ordinary toast it is very difficult to avoid burning the bread, and burnt bread is something very different from the crisp and delicate toast made by the clean electric heat of the G-E TOASTER The electric toaster enables you to have perfect toast at any time without the fuss and bother of building fires and smoking up the house.

Robbers, Thought to Be Negroes, Dis turbed In Looting Expedition, Turn on Wealthy Junk Dealer and Stab Him Severely. Philadelphia. Dec. 17. Waking to find two strange tui'ii in lila room, Julius ItelcKtein, who kees n Junk shop at "III! liulnbrtdge street nnd lives In the second story, sprang from his bed nnd tin-1: led the Intruders. In the light which followed his throat was slushed with a razor. The men became, fright ened iliul tied. Weeding profusely. Kelcstein stag gered down to the front door, scream i'd for help and then fell unconscious. McGurlty, a policeman of the Fourth and Iioinni'oy streets station, heard his eric and sent Kelcstein to the Penn s hnnla hospital. Ills condition Is se rious. The Intruders are believed to have been colored men, though Iielcsteln did not get a good look at them, as the room was dark. They gained entrance by forcing a rear window and had ran sacked the shop before venturing to the upper story. A Canndian twenty live cent piece and 13 cents In pennies was all the money in the till. This evi dently made the intruders angry, for it was common rumor in the neighbor hood that Kelcstein was rich and kept considerable money In the place. According to the wounded man, the burglars attacked him the moment he got his feet on the lloor, and he never had a chance In the struggle. Kelcstein has n house at S09 South Sixth street, where he spends part of his time. lie sleeps two or tliree nights a week at his store, however, and Is usually there on Sunday nights so ns to be ready to start bis men out early on Monday morning for junk collect ing. The police believe the burglars intended to torture Kelcstein to make him tell where his money was con- vealed. Gold, Kyan nnd Krelnts, special po licemen of the Second and Christian streets station, believe they have a fair Idea as to the Identity of the intruders.
