This apparatus was known as the
hay box in Germany, and consisted
of crudely constructed box, which
was insulated in that it was lined
with some cloth or other material
which happened to be convenient and
then filled with hay. The article to
be cooked was placed over a fire for
a short time, minute or two, and
then quickly transferred to the hay
box. where it was placed in a sort of
pocket made in the hay. Here the
cooking continued slowly without any
further application of heat or any at

DREADED 10 EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hum
cry nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide US az to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal
into the furnace, and our sense of
appetite becomes unnatural and per-
verted. Then we eat the wrong kind
of food or eat too much. and there
you are-indigestion and its accom-
panying miseries.

Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The tailored shirt waist is one of
the standbys Of the wardrobe that is
always in demand no matter how
many more fancy blouses may or
may not be added to the list. This
one is among the latest and most de-
sirable and is equally well adapted
to linen, to cotton, to silk and to wool
waistings, while it can be made eth
er with or without the yoke. AS il
Illustrated, however, the material is
white linen with trimming of pearl
buttons, the effect being one of ex-
ceeding smartness as well as dainti-
ness. The yoke is eminently attrac-
tive in effect and is very generally
becoming, but as all the pleats ex-
tend to the shoulders it is optional.
Taffeta and flannel are both useful
so made and buttons can also be as
simple or as handsome as one may
like, while the model suits the entire
dress and the separate waist equal
ly we'll, so that it really fills a great
many needs.

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.
BY GEORGE j. JONES.


The fireless cookstove is not exact
ly new thing, for its economies and
conveniences have been known to the
people Of an out-of-the-way portion
of the German Empire. Only year
or two ago some ladies of that ccun-
try had their attention attracted to
the f1reless cookstove, and they be-
came so interested in it that an or
ganization was effected for the pur-
pose of making the women of the
country generally familiar with it.
In this manner one of the United
States representatives in Germany
heard of the scheme, and reported on
IL. This attracted general attention
in this country, and the supply of
Government pamphlets was soon ex-
hausted.
The system is based on the ract

box suitable for army use has been
designed, and it is likely some great
changes in the conduct of the COM

This method of food preparation
has been recently made available for
domestic use by the introduction of
