Make Food COOK Itssif.

The familiar but hitherto little util-

ciently heated will continue and COM

removed from the stove and placed in

tain it's heat, is now being exploited

called the hay box because the simplest
and cleanest method has been found
TO Faek hay about the pots containing
the cooking food. 1he hay serves we'll

and is cheap and easily replaced. A
German woman, wife OF a diroctor OF
an industrial school, states that she
has used the hay box for u years, and
that it has both simplihed the cares
of housekeeping and been a saving in
expense. The chief advantages set
forth are these: The cost OF fuel can
be reduced four-ffths by transfer OF
food TO the hay box as soSn as it has
reached a proper heat; kitchen odors
are obviated, time and labor are saved.
for no stirring is necessary. nor is there
any fear OF scorching or burning while
the food is left to cook itself; where
workmen's families live crowded in ono
or two rooms the additional suffering
caused by the kitchen heat in summer
is obviated, since all the preliminary
cooking can be done in the cool II the

the hay box and be keGt hot as long as
desired. Almost any box with tight
