POINTERS FOR ECONOMIZING WITH
\ GAS RANGE.

If a gas range is used and properly
cared for It will be found a great
economy both in labor, strength, time and
fuel.
The first thing to bear in mind is the
Oft quoted slogan. Matches are cheaper
than gas" Don't leave a burner lighted
because you are going to need it in five
or ten minutes. Turn off as soon rs
through using, then light again when
ready. Don't light UP and then go on to
I'll the teakettle or get out the frying
pan. Hove everything In readiness be-
fore lighting the fame. Don't use the
large burners when the smaller ones or
SINNERS will do Just as well. Turn the
burners down so as to use only what IS
needed. After a kettle reaches the boil
.ng point, the slightest flames will keep
it on the simmer. which is all that is
necessary. Watch out always to see
that the flame is blue not red The red
fame is wasteful, indicating imperfect
combustion.
II any of the burner holes become
clogged, clean out with n wire. or re-
move and boil in a strong solution Of
soda and water. This last treatment can
not be given however with the old style
W. plcCc VI ttIA4SIlltb "a 44tIS. Ion l
light the oven more than -four or seven
minutes before you are ready to use It..
Longer is waste. Plan the baking SO as
TO do as much as possible at the Same
time, with the same fame. In getting
breakfast, for instance, you can cook the
bacon in the oven heat the milk for
the coffee, bake apples and make toast
under the flame all at the same time.
When nearly done, turn off the gas and
then If you have no warming oven. You
can set plates and ~platters in either oven
to get heated through. If YOU have TO
heat dishwatcr, that too can go in the
oven aud If not quite hot enough, when
ready to use 1t, n moment or two on top
the stove will complete the heating.
Another unconsidered waste In using
Il gas stove, lies in the heating more ~
a liquid than will be needed. For in
stance, If the average woman is ging 10
make two cupfuls Of tea she is quite apt
to i'll the tea kettle to the hrim with cold
water which necessitates waiting three or
four times as long as needed for It TO boil,
with the gas wasting all the time. BY at
tention to these little details a saving Of
from 10 to 20 per cent. in the month";
gas bill can usually be effected.

Women, as n rule, do not take to boot
Keeping, At any of the book shops now

all properly sub-dlvided so as to show so

ia quite easy to have a home made ac-
count book, persuading father to rule It
off and start it single entry so ms not to
perplex even the "Doras' of household

BY having an account book to refer to,
one can quickly determine just where the
money set aside for housekeeping ex-
penses has gone to and be able to cut
here or increase there as facts and fig
ures warrant. II one finds the meat bill
soaring far ahead Of other foods, II lux

essentials and the gas and coal bills show

the unconsidered trifes are making the
biggest hole in the income. For instance
take It in the matter Of the coal stove
or heater. Are your ashes emptied sys-
teInatically every morning? If they are
allowed TO collect they absorb the heat.
Never leave the smoke damper open ex-
cept when the fresh coal Is put on or the
fire kindled In the morning. BE sure the
chimney f,ue Is cleared from the SCOT.
Once in two or three years is usually
often enough for this. but the range
fues should be attended 10 once n month.
If the kitchen range is of the best mod
ern make, IL is easier and more economl-
cal to keep the fire over night, at this
season. At night sec that the CRATE is
free from ashes and clinkers, and bank
with coal. Shut off all draughts and
open the little door that let's cold air
over the fire. shut the kitchen door and
If not too cold leave a window open a
little at the top to let out any gas that
may escape. In the morning turn on the
draughts, but do not rake much until
after breakfast when extra coal can be
added. After the fire is made up for tho
day do not rake down or disturb it eX-
cept once in four or five hours when fresh
coal should be put on. Do not let the
coal touch the griddles. When a meal is
over. and there is no need for a hot fire.
sprinkle cinders if you have them, and
open the draft that lets the cold air on
top. When you wish 10 use the fire again.
close the cold air draught and open the
campers under it. Do not buy slaty coal
as that means waste and trouble. A
mixture of pea coal with stove coal,
either soft or hard. IS considered most
advantageous by careful housekeepers.
