GAS STOVE DON'TS

In buying gas stove, ornamenta-
ton again should be a minor considera-
ion. Much fret work is collector
If dust and germs.
Blue planished steel is durable and
,asy to clean. 1t does not rust or dis
color.
OF distinct advantage, also, are
strong, steel wire over racks, that VIII
not break or absorb heat; oven DOORS
spring poised. that do not open or smut
with jar; interlocking parts that can
be removed for cleaning, without dis
placing screws or bolts; oven ana
broiler doors, interlined with heavy as
bestos or alumnized steel; and legs 70
raise the range from the floor, high
enough to permit sweeping underneath.
The best burners are Of one piece OBJ
waiting lealxy joints and independently
supported so that they are readily re-
movable for cleaning.
Covers made with reducing rings 10
accommodate vessels of different sizes
and an arrangement that places oven
and broiler on top the range, doing
away with the STOPPING posture when
baking or broiling. are also of great
convenience.
For the forgetful. there is now a
patented safety lighter, warranted to
insure against accident from explosion.
The cocks are arranged with valves,
by which the supply Of oxygen may be
regulated.
Among the axioms which might be
hung beside the rang with advantage
to the cook and the gas bill are these;
Matches are cheaper than gas.
Never light a top burner until you
are ready to use II. It gives the maxi
mum of heat when first lighted.
Turn off a burner as soon as you
have finished.

What a Baby Can Do.

1t can fall down ortener and with
less provocation than the most expert
tumbler i'm the circus ring.
In a given time it can smash more
dishes than the most industrious serv-
ant girl in the country.
1t can beat any alarm clock ever IN
vented in waking a family up in the
morning.
It can choke itself black in the face
with greater ease than the most accom-
plished wretch that ever was executed.
1t can be relied on to sleep peacefully
all day when its father is in town. and
cry persistently at night when he is
particularly sleepy.
IL may be the naughtiest. dirtiest.

world, but you can never make its
