Marion man, ID. II. Morrell, who in
working outdoors during the winter
has been compelled to eat frozen din
ners. Morrell conceived the idea OF
constructing a compartment for an al
cohol lamp in the bottom of a dinner
pail and, by placing the receptacle for
the ready prepared coffee above this
and the other victuals above the eof-
fee, heating all from the alcohol burn
er. He sought a timer, with the re-

after lighting the alcohol lamp he has
a hot dinner. Morrell thinks SO well
of his invention that he has applied
for patent for the hot dinner pail.
