reached in 1907. The worldwide CONNER

medium OF a wastefu1 stove, the cur
rent used will approximate 900 watts a
meal a person. This, translated into
power rates for current, means 81 to
$3.50 month a person. Even this
cost can be considerably reduced by
the judicious use of the fireless cooker.
One family Of four where coal was
used for a long time averaged $7.45 a
month to cook the food. When gas was
installed this cost dropped to S5-l2 a
month, and when gasoline stoves were
used the average cost per month
dropped as low as IS. Now cleo
tricity is used exclusively at an av-
erage cost of about $40 month,
the average cost person a meal being
LAB cents. In. other words for four
persons it would take about four horse
power of electricity a day to do the
cooking. At the special heating rates
available in most places this would cost
but Is cents.
Cost of Cooking
The cost of electric cooking with a
rate Of six cents a kilowatt hour will
not be over that of a good hard coal
range and it is vastly more convenient
than any kind Of coal fire, where coal
has to be carried, ashes removed and
fires kindled In one family or two
the entire cooking and baking was done
by electricity at a cost of S3.l2 month.
Another family of three cooked with
electric heat at monthly cost of $4.32.
The electric flatirons can be operated
for less than five cents an hour; a
pot of coffee costs one cent to brew
over the invisible fires; 10 slices of
bread can be toasted on the dining
room table for one cent; the chahng
dish can be run for four cents an hour;
the tea kettle will boil an hour for five
cents; the disk stove will keep sizzling
hot for one hour for six cents; for
three cents the corn pepper Will work
one hour; the heating pad will remain
warm for two hours for single cop
per; seven cents will broll a large
steak; the babys milk can be warmed
half a dozen times for cent, ana SO
on down a long list.
Electricity can be changed instantly
into heat by inserting bit of resist
ance" in its path. The current, under
pressure, flows easily along copper
wire, but Ii you cut this wire and In
sert a bit of nonconduct1ng wire, such
as platinum, which resists the flow OF
the current, the electricity Will Work
hard to get by this obstruction, and
this work will change the electrical

a coin briskly on the carpet 1t will get
quite hot, because the work expended
on moving the coin is changed into

all mechanical energy ultimately
changes into heat energy .and is radi-
