COOKING BY GAS.
How to Avoid DisasreeabIe OdSrs
and Light the Range.

How to Avoid DisagreeabIe Odsrs
and Light the Range.
If there is constant smell of burn
Ing when cooking is going on examine
the burners. They are probably filled
with sediment from boil overs" This
especially applies to the housewife
whose kitchen is more or less dark,
for unless that is an unusually light
place it is difficult to see sufficiently
we'll to keep the burners perfectly
clean, says Forgetmenot.
For the woman whose troubles arise
from the odor of cooking the remedy
lies in having snail pipe between the
range and the chimney to carry off the
odorous gases. \ large bowl of water
placed near will also help to prevent
odors of cooking penetrating the house.
The smell of gas when a rubber tube
is used-no leak being apparent-is
usually caused by the tube itself hav-
ing become saturated with gas. New
tubing is the only remedy.
The lighting of the burners is very
simple matter if properly understood.
Turn on the gas for six seconds before
applying the match. This permits the
air to escape from the pipe and makes
the burner show a clear blue fame
from the first. If a white flame APP
pears on first lighting. turn off the gas
Immediately and try again. The dull.
roaring sound means the gas fame has
leaped back inside the supply pipe.
When having the gas range put in
be sure to see that the supply pipe is
large enough to allow sufficient gas to
enable all the burners to be used at
the same time. This is very neces-
sary. 1t is annoying to discover you
can't boil two kettles when the oven is
in use. See also that the oven is large
and commodious and that there is
plenty of room on the top for boiling,
frying. etc. 1t is poor economy to use
gas range that is too small. On the
other hand, should your family be
small and large joints things unknown
don't have huge oven.
1t is the oven, with its many burners
which makes gas stove cooking expen-
sive. For this reason think out your
meals carefully and bake as many
things as possible at the same time
Custards, for instance If small will
cook when the gas has been turned
out, and fruit, etc. may be stewed in
earthenware jars while the Joint is
cooking

In the vicinity where the writer lives
representatives of foreign grocery
house canvassed for supplies, and a bill
of goods which one of their customers
bought, which was later put on exhibit
ton. contained several eye openers.
One Of these was the fact that the I'M
suspecting buyer had paid 90 cents per
pound for cheap tea that was not
worth cent more than 30. The same
order included thirty pounds of soda
at about the same price that 1t would
sell for at the local grocery store, but
there was enough of it to last for four
or five years. The same bill of goods
which the peddler asked SAL for could
have been bought on tick at the local
grocery for $50. and for $27 80 if cash
had been paid. as it was to the peddler.
The experience which these buyers had
would seem to suggest the wisdom of
at least giving the home merchant an
opportunity to bid on bill of goods
before 1t is given to the representative
of the foreign house.

In response to query as to how to
treat seed potatoes to prevent develop
ment Of the scab we will give briefly
the directions which have appeared in
these columns in previous seasons. Aft
er cutting the potatoes in the sized
pieces desired place them in coarse
gunny sack and suspend them for two
hours in solution made up at the rate
OF half pint of formalin solution to
fifteen gallons Of water. After the seed
has soaked the desired length Of time
the sack may be suspended above the
barrel on couple of sticks and the so.
luton allowed to drain back. This
treatment of the seed should be given
a short time before planting. Sufficient
time should elapse, however, so that
the seed may dry. Potatoes treated in
the above manner and planted on what
Is known as clean ground-clover sod
breaking or land that has not raised
potatoes for year or two-will pro-
duce an absolutely scab free crop. The
solution Is good for use as long as it
lasts II the barrel is covered between
times.

One western municipality that the
writer knows of has settled the tramp
problem in very effective yet simple
manner. The aldermen of the town
have passed an ordinance levying a
fine on any person who feeds a tramp
Coupled with this. strict orders have
been given to the residents requesting
them to ring for a patrol wagon at
once when tramp stops and asks for
food. If he is there on the arrival of
the patrol he is taken to police head
quarters, where he Is given food and
clothing. If necessary. but where he is
made to work his board and lodging
out on city wood or stone pile. So
well does this Plan work that tramps
shun the town as they would a pesti-
lence.

In view Of the stress which the fed

Arbor day should take on an added
meaning with its interesting and pa

the thought of the day be put into ac-
tual practice by planting trees in the
school yards to furnish shade and
make them more attractive, but there
should be instilled into the hearts of
the pupils at early date the impor-
