FOR SUMMER COOKING


With the arrival of warm weather comes
the use of gas as a fuel in the various
homes of the city. The advantage OF
using gas as fuel has been so successfully
proved within the last several years that
for cooking purposes in warm weather 1t
Is now almost universally adopted Hotels
and cafes were the first to recognize the
great saving in time and labor obtained by
preparing dishes on a gas range rather
than on coal stove. They were able to
get the heat from the gas range the minute
they wanted it, and stopped il when there
was no further use for it. The Importance
of doing both of these things was evil
dent that it won immediate favor. Then it
was introduced into the kitchens of the
apartment houses. AS is well known, the
room devoted to the culinary art In these
small suites is necessarily reduced to the
smallest possible proportions. So the gas
range was found to be an absolute neces-
sity.
When one wishes to introduce a gas
cooking apparatus it is absolutely essential
that a good one be purchased. Be sure TO
get one with a good oven. as one OF the
tin fimsy affairs Is practically useless. IL
requires a fortune expended in gas to get
one of them up to the right heat for COOK
ing or baking, and then 1t is hundred TO
one shot it will either not bake on top or
will burn at the bottom. The improved gas
range is far better than the ordinary gas
stove. and costs very little more. no mere
when the advantages are considered. A
rev and improved gas range has six top
burners, double and five single notes.
an oven for baking. broiler and warm
ing oven and a top shelf for keeping things
hot In places where natural gas is found
a different burner is applied TO the range,
and 1t works perfectly.
When gas cannot be had oil is subsu-
tuted. The oil ranges take the place of the

gas ones, and so far as outward appear
ances are concerned they are all that can
be desired. The difference is felt by the
housewife, however, as she has constantly
10 remind the servants to fill the lamp.
Nothing is more provoking than TO have
the maid neglect to fill the lamps when the
dark is coming on, and no man wants TO
TOOL with oil near a light, much less trust
a careless maid to ill one. Everything has
Its advantages, and the gas stove Is no
exception to the rule The proof of the
pudding is in the eating"
In working the gas range always keep
the flame little above the frame around
which are the gas Jets, as otherwise II will
smut the cooking utensils, making II diff
cult to keep them clean One OF the plain
three-drum stoves is good for ordinary USE
especially II a steam boiling arrangement
for cooking vegetables is used. This is an
affair formed of three compartments or
more, one above the other, and is made of
tin or other metal. The first receptacle
contains water which. when boiling. steams
the vegetables in the vessels above. The
contrivance admits of cooking more things
at one time than by putting only one article
on d burner.
The many things used In connection with
these gas ranges is appalling to think Of
One of the most prominent Is a perpendlcu-
lar broiler for steaks, chops and fish
stand comes with this broer. but II can be
taken Off the stand and put directly on the
stove. Water urns. automatic coffee and
tea uFnS ana iron nOluefS are among inc
many things that can be obtained In the
laborsaying devices in connection with gas
ranges. Many persons object to the odor
and from some stoves this is very unpleas-
ant, but the cause is oftener traced TO the
person using the stove than to the stove
itself flame left too high will make a
bad smell In a short time, gas is SO in
sdous that much damage be done be-
fore it Is discovered.
Be careful and you will get results that
are surprising.

The Caro- Of Linens.
From the Pilgrim.


Every housewife delights in having nice
linens for her table, and those Of heavy
damask are cheaper in the end. as they
wear longer. and look infinitely better than
the lightweight linens. The thinner cloths
can be starched ever so little, thereby CIV
ing the appearance of heavier weight. This
must be done carefully; for a stiffiy starch
ed tablecloth Is unsightly. to say the least.
In buying table linen. it Is well to remem-
Der that check pattern in plain or elabor-
ate blocks with warp and wool running
straight across both ways Is better bar
gain than a floral or curved pattern that
costs the same; for the check pattern Is
more easily manufactured. and, in conse-
quence, better quality of linen is put into
cloth of this design than into fancy pat
terms at the same price.
Table linen should be mended according
to the weave of the cloth. The strips left
over after evening off the cloth should be
laid away for this purpose, since the
threads raveled from these strips are the
very thing for strengthening weak places in
old tablecloths. When they have gone be-
yond this remedy, they can be cut up into
tray cloths, carver's cloths, fruit napkins.
