Among the new and usetul inventions Ia
the Dover vertical broiler, manufactured
by the Dover stamping company, Boston,
Mass. 1t is new in principle, theory and
practice. 1t broils steaks, chops outlets,
fish or fowl, without the usual turning, OF
the usual attention the cook is compelled to
give in broiling meats The fat all falls in
to trough and is conducted to a little par
outside, without smoke escaping into the
room. All parts are done at the same
time and alike. The most stupid domestic
will never make mistake. The food il
better cooked, and the juices retained to &
greater extent than by the old methods
