She introduced her subject .Mlr;sS-ea AS hc,l Cookbook on Priceless Cookery in which ehe ad- vantages of this highly scientific method were made clear Priceless cookery is superior to any other process in being odorless, automatic and economical of 90 per cent of the fuel formerly expended to do the same amount of work
 Mrs. Hankin then described and
 exhibited the two most commoh forms of apparatus-the Vacuum Cooker and the Hay-Box device-and explained how to test and 10 select the best sort of mechanism in the
 ready-made cookers now On the market. Illustrated catalogues were distributed giving in detail .he hy- gienic and economical advantages of the Caloric and the TheFiatic mech anisns which are the two most pop ular contrivances now being manu- factured for Fire less cooking.
 Instructions were also given for the home manufacture of a similar Thermatic box. wherein the storage could be effected by various non conductors such as paper-packs. ex- celsior. straw, or soap-stone, (steat- ites), heating discs.
