SAVING FEATURES OF COOKER

Anna Barrows, lecturer at the
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, and at Simmons College, in her
work on the Principles of Cookery, "
summarizes the advantages of the fire.
less cooker as follows:
The cost of fuel can be reduced
four-ffths or even nine-tenths.
The pots are not made difficult to
wash; they are not blackened, and
they will last for an almost indefinite
period of time.
The food is better cooked, more
tasty, more nutritious and more di-
gestible.
Kitchen odors are obviated.
Time and labor saved
The cares of the housewife les
sened, and her health and happiness
are protected.
The kitchen need not be in disorder
half of the day.
Warm water can always be had
when there is illness in the house and
during the summer when fires are not
kept up.
Where workmen's families live
crowded in one or two rooms, the
additional suffering caused by kitchen
heat is obviated, for the preliminary
cooking can all be done in the cool of
the morning.

Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; if not near the
store, buy the large size family pack

SINGER FIGURES THAT SPEAK.

Four times as many Singer SeWins
Machines are. sold annually as an wis e

make and variety of machine each III

This can mean but one thing, ana Ina
is the Singer is the best sewing ma

other machine to enable it successfully
to fight against local prejudice long DIS

The Singer is the only machine in the
world that has the elastic stitch when
will stretch just as much as the mate
rial it holds together, and no more. II
is the only machine that is so perfect
mechanically that it will do the heaV-
lest sewing with little power, ana the
only machine tina. will perform the most PSI
turing the most delicate materials.
These, with it's long life, are the fac
tors that render the Singer without a
peer among it's competitors.
The Singer Sewing Machine Company
has the most colossal manufacturing and
distributing system in the world. II
has over six thousand stores, offices and
factories scattered over both hemi-
spheres.
Back of the Singer is over fifty years
of manufacturing experience In which
time factories that for the manufacture
of sewing machines have no equal in the
world have been created, with special
lied machinery and specially trained
workmen for each process.
Every Singer sold is backed by the
guarantee of this tremendous system,
with it's record of two generations of
square dealing and business honesty.
The Singer Company is so confident
of the merits of it's machine and it's abil-

RURAL COOKING SCHOOLS

The teaching of cooking in Germany
is carried on with German tnoroueh-
ness. Not content with estapllshll,S
rural schools where farmers daugh-
tiers might learn the domestic arIs'
Germany has now instituted travelling
schools. 1t was found that the rural
schools did not meet the needs OF lhe
whole rural population. Inc Dulk y,
this population is made up OF small
farmers. and in such homes the help
of the daughters is needed so con-
stantly that they can not be sent away
from home to school. Neither can the
money be provided for their expenses,
and many farmers are afraid, 100, tna'
after their daughters had been away
to school they would not be wiling TO
return to the simple conditions or the
farm.
Since the people will not go to the
schools. therefore, the schools are
being sent to the people. Baden TOOK

ing schools of cooking and sewing

or have begun to establish them. Inc

established two such schools ana

THE BOY AND THE DOLLAR

That the boy with the unearned dol
lar in his pocket is in dangerous
position has just been proved anew by
some Investigations conducted by DR..
Ashcraft, lately president of the Ohio
Normal College.
In order to determine the ch1ld'S
tendencies to save or spend money ac-
quired by gift, by earning, or by find
ing, the Doctor questioned nearly nine
teen hundred children.
The result of the inquiry was that
children obtaining money most easily
spend it with much prodigality, while
those who earn money, whether by
employment or by doing service for
parents on pay, are most frugal. 1t
was discovered also that children put
dollars to better use than smaller
amounts.
Here, then, is an important lesson
for parents. In giving money to chill
dren, require them to earn it by some
sort of useful occupation or labor.
To give children money that they have
not earned tends to make spendthrifts
of them and to weaken their character
generally by lessening their sense OF
self-reliance and personal power. Not
only SO, but to provide a youth with
much unearned spending money is
practically to insure his ruin.

who could not otherwise afford to at
tend the school.
1t has been found that the travel
ing school has many advantages in
addition to it's accessibility. The
teaching can be adapted to local con-
ditions, and the pupils can at once put
into practice what they have learned.
Furthermore, the teacher can visit the
homes of the pupils and see that they
really understand what has been
taught.-Journal of Home Economics.

Perhaps most of the scolding done in
the world is between husbands and
wives or between parents and children.
Parents must instruct their children
and frequently reprove them. But they
are in great danger of provoking them
to wrath-in the wise biblical phrase.
Children have the keenest possible
sense of Justice; and they are also very
easily hurt and when their minds are
bruised the result is estrangement and
TINS is a sad thing. An imperious,
scolding father or mother frightens
the children away, drives them into all
manner of evasions and subterfuges
and brands their minds forever with
the memory of cruel and blistering
words. Every family should endeavor
to live peacefully and agreeably with
no harsh words and it is not a hard
task at all-EX.

BIG CAMPFIRE BY SEDGWICK POST

Commander Vine s. Stetson, fIPm his

tional church as the first speaker.
Addresses on Patriotism.
Rev. Mr.. Ricketts, was given a rous-
ing reception with applause as he rose
to speak and all through his stirring
address upon Patriotism. Lauding the
patriotism displayed by the soldier of
the revolutionary and civil was, he put
the present day question of whether
we are losing our patriotism or teach
ing it to the school children as it ought
to be taught. He declared his dislike
to seeing Memorial day perverted from
this grand purpose for which 1t was set
by a programme of sports, and said
that the influx of foreigners was no
reason to fear a loss of the spirit of
true patriotism, for they had been Xix
ened by Beecher to the great alluvial
flood Of the Nile. Because we allow
unworthy men to get into Office and
because our schoolboys, even, under
stand that for a man to get into polit-
ical Office he must practically buy his
way in, are signs of loss of patriot
ism, he said; are reasons for the boys
and girls asking if this is the home
of the free and the land of the brave.
Boys see, also. that the laws are con-
stantly disobeyed and disregarded, es-
pecially in regard to the Sunday open
ing of candy stores, and by weakening
law you are striking a blow at patri-
ottsm. These conditions need correc-
tlon. and with the right spirit Of patri-
otism we are the ones to correct them.
Under the right spirit and right in
SEPARATION he could never believe that
patriotism would be lost fashion, the
speaker said.

Progress on New BuiIding-Convent
Ready for Bricklayers-Derrick Set
Up at School-New Boiler at Dye
Works-Other Mention.

Although for several days this week
because of the rain there was no work
done on the new parish buildings, the
progress on the whole is considered
satisfactory. The cellar walls of the
convent have been completed, the floor
leveled and on the outside the sur
rounding area has been graded off.
John T. Ryan, the Greeneville plumber,
has taken the plumbing contract for
the entire job and during the past
week his men have run in the water
pipes to the convent from the mains
on Hunters avenue. The convent and
the school will be supplied with both
spring and reservoir water. A six
inch sewer pipe, iron inside and tile
outside, has been laid to the main
on Providence street
The brick work is expected to begin
as soon as the water tables arrive,
and the latter may come any day.
Valentine Murphy will be in general
charge of the work.
On the school site a large part of
the ledge has been blasted out and a
cement footing one foot deep has been
laid where the walls are to be built.
The derrick has been moved from the
convent and set up on the site of the
school, where it will be used to lay the
walls. Contractor Dodd has secured
another boiler and hosting engine and
that used on the convent has been TAX
en- to Bog meadow, to be used on the
new dam.
