FOR THE WOMEN
TO THINK ABOUT

Have you become acquainted with the
freess cooker? If not, you should in
vestigate it before hot weather overtakes
you. How absurd it sounded at first!
| The. freless cooker! Is it really freless ?
Is it actually cooker? Those who have
used it answer yes to both questions, and
declare that much of the heat from cook
ing in the kitchen may be thus done away
with during the summer. Cereals brought
to the boiling point and placed in the
cooker over night are ready for breakfast
by simply bringing again to the boiling
point. They are of delicious flavor. Meat
cut in pieces, with vegetables and water,
boiled briskly for a few minutes, the
gravy properly thickened and seasoned,
then placed in tightly covered pail, and
while boiling fast put into the ''ireless'
after breakfast will come out tasty stew
ready for dinner. The skeptic should be-
gin with boiled rice or some simple dish.
The freless cooker may be bought all
lined and ready for use at prices to suit
the purchaser In simplest form, and
homemade, it consists of box 20 to "a
inches in its dimensions, lined with many
thicknesses of paper and stuffed with fine
hay. Grass cuttings from the lawn do
well. A nest is made in the middle just
large enough for the pail and is covered
closely with a cushion made by filling
cloth flour sack with hay. The lid to the |
box must fit tightly. If a longer box or
a trunk is used, several dishes or pals !
may be placed in it at the same time.
Anything which can be cooked by boil
ing or simmering is adapted to this meth
cd. The water must be boiling fast when
as well as comfort is worth considering.

Have you horse-radish bed in your
back yardg If you have it is easily kept
up by cutting off the tops and re-setting
when the roots are dug. If you haven't
a bed it is easily started by getting a few
roots at the greenhouse or at a neigh
bor's. The second season it will do to dig
up and by setting OFT all tops again the
bed may be kept up or enlarged. Horse
radish is suited to all sorts of locations
and will thrive in a corner of the back
ward OF beside the kitchen door. Mois-
ture is good for it.
