ECONOMY IN GAS.
Things Women Who Use Gas Ranges
Should Think Of.

I'm these days when no fat or apartment

don't mean to preach about carelessness or
just give you bit of advice, and when you
hear the end you'll admit il takes more TO
run gas cooking range properly than you
ever dreamed OF. Here is an experiment
which you can try for yourself, and it's the
keynote of success III handling a gas cook
ing range or any other range artistically
Take two cooking pots of equal size and
make. Into each put an equal amount of
water. Into the water in each pot place a
leg Of Misunderstanding each leg of the same
weight-and, if possible. from the same

over burner of your gas cooking range,
and when the water has been brought to a
boil leave one burner blazing away full
and turn off the other half way, so that the
water in the pot over il just bOils and moth
ing more. You will find that both pieces OF
meat are equally cooked after the same
lapse of time. even though the one has
burned twice as much gas as the other dur
ing the period of boiling. The same experi-
eatable, and the reason is self-evident No
man ever managed to heat water more
than PIP degrees Fahrenheit. That is the
boiling point or water, and IL NeSuyius in

Another waste which few cooks think OF
in using gas stove is in heating consider

MUSIC ON sHIPBOARD.
How Sailors ON Merchant Vessels
Pass Time ON Long Voyages.


''You are invited TO a musicale on the ship
Orinoco. in Erie Basin, Friday evening.
Aug. 2S."
A number of persons responded TO this
invitation cheerfully, for they knew the
captain very well. He had been i'm the South
American trade 10 this port for a number
of years, married a Brooklyn girl. and
made money for the owners OF his ship i'm
spite of the number of steamers that bore
down upon him. The mate received the
guests at the gangway. and the cheerful
captain and his wife did duty below. The
captain displayed with pride a new piano
presented by the owners. a beautiful piece
of polished mahogany, with works OF the
best construction; a piano that he said
would not move from its bearings III the
ship turned turtle.
The captain further explained that he put
aboard a cheaper piano at the request OF
love msuic. and the good effects of it were
so apparent on the crew that the owners
had decided TO put them on all their sail
ing vessels: beginning with his. II Is moth,

When the musicale began the captain, his

played melodies OF South America that
seemed to make the ship roll and bow TO

The captains wife sang songs of the ANA

voyages. and then came rousing glee by
the crew.
.'It is a rare thing now" said the captain,

EARLHAM COLLEGE.
De PAW Proposes a Change i'm Meth
cd of Conducting Debate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Oct. 16.-Prof. Z. 2. True
blood, head of the department of elocution
and debate at Earlham College, yesterday
received word from the president of the
De PAW Oratorical Association in refer
ence to the debate that is to be held be-
tween these two institutions next February.
The purport of the letter was to the effect
that De PAW wishes change in the man.
ner of choosing the question and the side.
According to the system employed by Earl
ham in the past ii has been the custom
for the visiting team to have the choice of
sides, while the institution where the debate
took place presented the question. This
scheme has proved satisfactory in every
debate that the Quakers have ever engaged
in. and is the one used by the leading col
leges OF the country. De Paw, for some
reason, seems to believe that this system
is too antiquated, and sent the following
plan to Professor Trueblood:
Earlham is to present three questions to
De PAW. who then has the choice of any
one of them, leaving to Earlham the choice
of sides for debate; or vice versa, De PAW
will present the three questions and Earl
ham have the pick of the question for
debate.
This system does not meet the approval
of the Earlham College debaters, because
it confers too much advantage and allows
too great a latitude in the selection of the
question. Earlhams original proposal to
send a question to De Paw and let her
choose her side will be the one followed,
if the debate is to take place. Professor
Trueblood has informed De PAW of this
action, and il now rests with that institu-
ton to do as 1T pleases regarding the
matter.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct flowing to
the prevalence of smallpox in the city and
the danger of an epidemic the city School
Board to-day issued an order requiring all
school children to be vaccinated before Oct
10 or be excluded from city institutions Of
learning. Doctors were assigned to the
various schools and the work of inoculating
the 1000 pupils was begun. 1t is expected
that some opposition to the general order
will be encountered but the rule will be
rigidly enforced.
The action of the school trustees was
taken last night when a special meeting
was held in conjunction with the health
officers and police board, the School Board
having been importuned by the parents of
many school children. The situation here
is not at all alarming, the health officials
say, and there is no truth in rumors that
have been spread about the neighboring
country. physicians report that there are
in all less than eighteen cases here and
that all of these are of mild nature. The
detention hospital just across the river is
used for a majority of the patients and
the rest are carefully quarantined in their
homes. There have been no fatalities nor
has any case threatened to end fatally. A
report has been current in the city and in
$50 cases of smallpox in the city and that
the railroads are about to declare a quar-
antine against the city. Health officials de-
clare these rumorS are absurd.
Among the patients at the isolation hos
pital is Reuben +. Nyswander, an instruct
or i'm physics at Purdue University Dr.
Whalen said to-day that Nyswander's case
was the worst in the hospital, but that the
patient is not critically sick. Nyswander
is a graduate of Indiana University and
this is his first year at Purdue. He did not
live in house occupied by students so
there is no danger of infection. Not sin
gle case has as yet been discovered in West
Lafayette or in any of the students lodg-
ing places in the city. President Stone last
spring requested that all students be vac
cinated before their return to Lafayette
this fall and many conformed to the order.
The university authorities are not appre-
hensive of disease outbreak, having great
faith in the ability of the city health
authorities to prevent spread of smallpox
or other maladies. President Stone at con-
vocation meeting Wednesday again advised
students to take the vaccination precaution.
No new cases were reported to-day and
it is believed there will not be further
spread of the disease. A fresh supply of
vaccine virus has been received by the ply
sicians, who are now at work applying il
on pupils at Centennial Linwood, Ford
Washington, Oakland, Tippecanoe, Lincoln
and Columbia schools.
