MODERN MODE OF COOKING
Gas Ranges or Stoves Agents of
Clennliness, Comfort and Ecnnamx.

Uss manages or stoves Agents Of
Cleanliness, Comfort and Economy.
Washington seems to be experiencing an
epidemic in the matter of gas stoves and
gas ranges, and hundreds of kitchens that
were formerly hot and sitting, smoke-filled
and ashes-soiled are being made cool, pleas
ant and clean by reason of the introduce
ton of modern culinary appliances, which
utilize gas for heating purposes. Besides
the ease and lessened work due to gas
ranges, their use is everywhere known to
be economically wise, as big coal bills are
made things of the past, and there is no
more expense for the removal of ashes.
Persons who have not investigated the
modern mode of cooking should certainly
visit the Associated Gas Range Exhibit now
in progress at No. 614 18th street north
west, a few doors north Of F street in charge
of Miss L. c. Andrews. The gas stoves and
ranges shown are from the well-knoWn es-
adjustments of Barber & Ross C. A. Mud
diman, s. s. Shedd & Bro. and e, F. BROOKE
Co., and embrace all the best makes.
Miss Andrews Is a cook of experience, and
knows all about gas stoves and ranges, and
visitors will find visit to the exhibit and
q chat with her at once instructive and en-
tertaining. Between 8 and 4 O'Clock each
afternoon Miss Andrews gives a practical
demonstration of the wonderful advantages
gas cooking presents over the old style. .
