Spinach is now in high favor as
an article of diet. Chemists af-
firm that it contains much iron.
Spinach not only contains salts, of
iron and potassium, but other salts,
which are good for the liver and
blood. 1t therefore improves the
complexion.
The stoves of the Bolivian In
dams are curious things. A hole
is dug in the ground about 10
inches deep and foot square, and
over this in built a roof of clay,
with holes of different sizes to re-
ceive the various cooking pots.
Roasting is done on spits passed
through the holes, SO that the
meat comes out very much smoked
unless great care is taken to have
only live Goals at the bottom of the
oven.
If the steel of the range is rust
ed, rub we'll with sweet oil and
let it remain for two days. Then
rub with finely powdered unslak-
ed lime until the rust disappears.
Clean the nickel plate of the stove
with soda and ammonia, using a
wooden cloth. Polish with a clean,
dry one. Ovens should be kept
free from dust and dirt by frequent
brushings, and wiping out with a
damp cloth, while the fire is slow.
Coal and wood will be super
seeded by electricity in the TWEEN
tieth century kitchen. The cleo
trio oven bakes bread ideally, and
meats prepared by it do not re-
quire watching or basting, while
broiling or frying may be done in
superior style. The electric chat,
ing dish is attachable to an ordi-
nary light wire; the current is
turned and Immediately the oyster
begins to stew or the eggs to sizzle
In the electric kitchen there will
be no coal, no ashes, no smoke, ne
fuel, and not even a battery.

A study of the Southern Long

Division of Forestry. A brief ex-
animation last Fall proved many
prevailing ideas regarding this tree
to be mistaken. The rate of
growth was shown to be compare

far greater than is commonly be-
lieved. These discoveries sug-
gested a fuller investigation for
the benefit of the lumbermen.

places expressions of sorrow and deep
regret could be heard from men in

he has exhibited during the past four
years as chairman of the committee on
foreign relations to the assistance of
