IN A CHIMNEYLEsS HOUSE
Cooking with. Electricity Is Feature
s.e.: of This Novel Home.
. Technical World. 80.

1--WE entered our new house in Sep
tember, 1867 says H. W. Hillman
Of Schenectady, n. Y, who Q sns and
occupies a house without chimney.
The electric kitchen equipment was
connected within two minutes from the
time the table was taken off the wagon.
and there was no waiting around for
the stove man to come and connect up
the stove, fit the stovepipe, build the
fire, etc. For nearly three years. we
have cooked and baked by electricity
daily, and the new kitchen, therefore,
has no coal or gas range.
AS regards costs Of operating, the
most intelligent way to explain this
item is to draw comparisons with
and gas. The writer has had ten years :
experience with kitchen range, with
coal at $3.50 a ton on the average;
also six years experience with gas at
81 80 a thousand. Our gas bills would
average SO month. We. used the coal
range Monday and Tuesday for wash
ing and ironing, and burned little less
than half ton Of coal q month, at a
cost of about So. The average monthly
cost Of operating was, therefore, about
SO for kitchen coal and gas, with an
additional cost for carting away ashes.
Many readers will be surprised to
learn that my average monthly cost for
electricity for two years has been 5000
month, or only 10 per cent higher
than coal or gas. There are no ashes
to cart away, no fires to build, and the
electric system offers 9 neat, clean,
healthy kitchen. = = z

Byron has told us that true love could
sprout only in moonlit arbor. That
is all bOsh; tho it sounds well enough
in poetry. Many a loving couple has
wOOed just as nice-nicer-in aTbOrs
which were not lit up by either moon
or stars, or anything else. But one
cannot WOO properly in the gaze of a
gaping multitude, and in such gaze
one is always in Atlantic City.
The comparatively few manageable
men are, of course, in great demand.
They are being feted, IiOnized and
fought for by the weaker sex, which
proves herself tremendously strong in
such matters. But do not imagine
thatthe so lionIzed men are walking
on roses. They are the most miserable
creatures in the world! Pulled by

gage in such practices as | have de-
scribed. But the principal conversation
there turns on the matter of marriage.
Ii you become acquainted with young
Widow Hopkins, one of the first things
i she will tell you is, that Mrs. ones has
now been coming to Atlantic City with
her two daughters for the last three
seasons, without being able to get rid

soon the perspiration will begin to
run down the body. The woman who
is reducing should buy pair of In
dian clubs. She can get inexpensive
ones for very little money and the
lighter the weight the better for her.
With these she can practice a few
minutes after each BATH In this way
she will be sure of getting in glow.
Her skin must be moist all over.
Reducing the weight depends very
largely upon what you eat. The fat
woman will tell you differently, but
she is mistaken. She grows fat be-
cause she eats a good deal of the
wrong kind of food. She takes the
things that are fat-producing. 1t is
not so much the quantity of food
that she eats as the kind of food
she takes.
"The fat woman eats great deal
of ice cream. She loves all kinds of
starchy foods. She revels in corn
and other sugary vegetables and she
likes potatoes and cheese and all the
starchy things such as cereals, cream,
milk, hot bread and butter and cake.
It would seem as though some spe-
cial perversity of taste kept her from
eating the right kind of food.
"To make the fat woman happy
give her something sweet. That is
the only way to content her. She is
uneasy until her appetite for pre-
serves, pies, buildings and ice cream
has been appeased.
"The thin woman, quite to the con-
trary, has a dietary Of her own, and
a wonderfully hygienic thing 1t is.
Very often she is content at noon
with a little of the white meat of
fish and a, cracker or two. She may
take tiny little cup of tea, perfectly
clear, for she seldom puts sugar in
her tea or her coffee.
"For breakfast the thin woman re-
lies upon fruit. This she follows up
with some poached eggs on toast.
And this is all she wants. Often she
takes dry toast and coffee and a lit
tie fruit. Almost any little thing is
enough for her, yet she gets her full
nourishment.
"When reducing one must also
exercise. But exercise will hardly

IF your teeth are fit, chew, chew,
chew, until the food is liquid and
insists on being swallowed.
If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream, or
allow to stand minute soaking in
cold cream.
"There's a reason," as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums SO necessary in the
primary work of digestion.
Many people say (and it is true)
that when they eat Grape-Nuts they
seem able to digest not only that
food but other kinds which formerly
made trouble when eaten without

A SUMMING Story.

Work among the poor and needy
of the cities, often called Summing. ;"
has its humorous side as we'll as
pathetic, and is occasionally better
understood than appreciated.
A wealthy lady, much given to Wis
iting and assisting the poor, was one
day visiting a woman in whom she
sought to take an interest and assist
if need be.
After inquiring into the genral well
fare of the family, financial and 9TH
erwise, and giving some judicious adj
vice, she finally arose to depart with
the remark that she would call again
sometime, to which the woman gave
a cordial assent and then said: And

be after returnin' your call. but I'm

His Scheme Worked.

1t is related that certain man was
recently very sad because his wife
had gone out of town on a visit,
which she would not shorten in spite
of his appeals to her to come home.
He finally hit upon a plan to induce
her to return. He sent her a copy of
each of the local papers with one item
clipped out, and when she wrote to
find out what it was he had clipped
out he refused to tell her.
The scheme worked admirably! In
less than a week she was home to
find out what it was that had been
going on that her husband didn't want
her to know about-Pittsburg Press.
