There is no room in the house in which cleanliness is so important as in the kitchen; therefore, the garbage can, in most instances, militates against its absolute cleanliness. To be sure, there is one good can on the market with an automatic lid which is raised with the foot so that stooping is unnecessary. One touch by the foot on the pedal opens the can, and as soon as the foot is taken off the pedal, the lid closes. It is seamless and finished in white enamel. But even this can is hardly a substitute for the incinerator. The average kitchen _isn’t_ the best lighted and sunniest room in the house, and what is often left in the garbage can (if not carefully lined with new paper every time it is emptied) is a real menace to health. If you live in the country, the garbage can is usually in the yard and tours to it are demanded daily. If it is cold, it is a hardship, and if it is warm it is a hardship, too! The garbage freezes in the winter; it decays rapidly in the summer, and there is always the worry about its collection. If it is kept in the shed, it means other sources of storage and worry, so whether you are your own help or whether you have help, garbage disposal is a really truly problem. Now to the device to obviate the immoral fly, extra steps, unclean kitchens, and worry, the thief of content. THE INCINERATOR The incinerator, besides being the burner of garbage, is a garbage container. It burns garbage without smoke, noxious gases and floating inorganic matter. If the stove could do this, the incinerator would not be necessary, as suggested above. But it can’t, especially if it be a gas or electric stove. Every incinerator, if it be any good at all, is so designed as not only to burn the waste but reburn the gases, etc., before the products of combustion reach the outer air. Every manufacturer will tell you that his apparatus burns without smoke or odor. This you will do well to prove by observing one in operation, staying in the building in which it is being used and also whiffing the air a few doors away. The writer knows of a bank which was severely tried by a daily recurring odor at lunch time. The authorities found out later that the incinerator of a neighboring bank was playing its owner false. There is no use in describing the re-combustion or re-burning devices of the good incinerator, but it is necessary for the buyer to know whether the re-burning is accomplished so as to reduce the waste to clean ash without smoke, noxious odors, and the rest.
