PROVE ELECTRICITY THE BEST.
Superior to All Forms of Heat for
Fireless Cooker.

The principle of the fireless cooker,
In which the cooking having been once
started over a flame is continued in
an insulated cabinet or box, through
the action of the heat already alb
sorbed, is more or less familiar to all,
but in the more improved forms cloth
and felt insulation are displaced by
vulcanized wood, asbestos and other
materials of a durable sanitary ma
ture, and the utensil adapted to bak-
ing and roasting. In the latter case
the heater is stored in steatite radi-
ators or slabs, which quickly absorb
heat. The radiators are heated over
flame or by electricity That it is
possible to use electricity in connec-
ton with the fireless cooker with pro-
portionately greater economy in the
use of fuel than in the use of gas, oil
or coal, has, it is stated, been prac-
tically demonstrated in the fireless
cookers ready for the market. The
reason why the economy is greater
with electricity is that it is possible to
utilize practically all the heat gener-
ated by the current. The coils are in
troduced in the radiators, and while
Che temperature is being raised the
oven is closed to prevent the loss Of
heat

RAILROAD RATES
). TO BE CHANGED
April | Second Class Rates to Be
Discontinued and First Class
Rates to Be Reduced

On April first, according to in
formation received by local rail-
road men, there will 60 into effect
on the big railroads of the country
the biggest change in the matter Of
rates for passenger service that has
been made in some years.
The change will mean that after
April first there will be no more
second class rates ON railroa % car
rying people from the west east as
far as Buffalo. Only firstclass
tickets will be sold to that point,
but 1t is understood that east of
there second class tickets may be
procured for New York and other
cities. Ihe change, IL ls SAID, Will
be made for the reason that the
railroads consider their second
class rates have been 100 low. But
the change. it seems, does not con-
template a hardship on the trav-
eler who goes second class, for in
cluded in the change will be re.
duction OF firstclass rates, making
it possible for all to ride firstclass
with little increased cost over Sec
ond class passage. Firstclass rates
will be reduced probably about
81 80 or the difference now be-
tween first and second class rates.
