A friend devised a successful plan for
preventing waste in a gas stove Her
house was lighted BY electricity. but
she had 1t piped one spring for gas
cooking The meter man assured her
that with washing. ironing and an the
cooking required By a family Of six,
her bill ought never TO exceed s. The
first month brought her a bill Of 36.25.
She discovered that Il was caused by
careiessness in the kitchen; by such
event as her cooks going 10 bed and
forgetting till morning that she had
left both burners going al night The
cook was a good servant but careless,
so the mistress had a heart-to-heart
talk with her. The gas man gave the
cook a demonstration lesson on run
ming the stove economically. The mis-
tress made the proposition that she
would allow "a a month for gas. no
more. no less. n the bin amounted TO
more than 81 the difference would be
deducted from the cooks wages II
less she would receive the difference
The next bin amounted 10 $500. and
yet It included weeks when considera-
bic preserving 0i fruit had been done
and more gas honestly burned than the
month before. As the girl became ia
miliar with the art Of baking by one
burner and cooking slowly over the
slmmerer the bills dropped still lower
till now there Is scarcely a month when
a dollar OF the gas money does not 90
into the cooks purse. She has never
had a dime deducted from her wages. -

of the naval board appointed to recon-
mend a suitable method of recognizing
the services of officers and enlisted men

break OF the war with Spain have at any
time been especially meritorious. The
board has suggested plan for providing
four classes of medals, to be known ie-
spectively as the Medal of the Republic,
the Paul Jones Medal. the Farragut Medal,
and the Campaign Medal.
The suggestion of the board is that the
Medal of the Republic be awarded in cases
deserving the highest recognition and pos
sessing the greatest merit The intention
is to award 1t only to commanders of
squadrons or fleets who gain a decisive
victory over a squadron or feet Of an en-
envy Of equal or superior strength. The
receipt of this medal is also intended TO
carry with il an increase OF pay OF 80 l-3
per cent, and at the death OF the recipient
that his widow draw a pension equal to
her husbands active service pay until
his children reach the age of twenty-one
years.
The Paul Jones medal is intended to be
awarded only TO an officer contributing in
a special manner to a decisive victory
over the enemy. The recommendation OF
the board is that IL carry with it an in
crease OF Is per cent In pay.
The Farragut medal is designed TO be
awarded only to an officer or enlisted man

said must have been left for him at the
