USE OF MACHINES
 IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Women Need Proper Training in the Manipulation of Devices That Save Time-Follow the
 Instructions Carefully

vv7ITH the increase in the numbers M of household machines comes in-
 creasing bewilderment in the housekeeper's mind. She naturally turns for advice to place where these things are tried, and asks confidently or confidentially, as, the case may be, for definite. specific naming of one machine. To be the best of anything, a household device or apparatus, just as much as a food or remedy, must fit the special need of the particular house and family; and these needs, in general, vary in every house on the block. The best in Number Thirty may be entirely out of the question in Number Forty two.
 Speaking generally, most of the fire less cookers are good. A good fireless cooker is a well-made, properly in- culated one, constructed in such a way and of such material as to insure it's keeping in sanitary condition when used in a proper and cleanly manner. That is all the manufacturers can do. The results which will come from the use of that f1reless cooker depend upon the user. The one to purchase is the one which best fits the needs of the buyer. Having purchased a good cook CT, she must not expect that it will per- form miracles unless she is a magician, and can put together the ingredients of which culinary miracles are made.
 There comes an OccaSlOnaI complaint: We have used so-and-so and it does not do the york; Investigation usu- ally brings out one of two things: either the machine was sent without printed directions for putting together and it's use, or else those directions were ignored. One Fundamental fact must be accepted by the manufactur- CTS, namely, that until within recent years women have received no training in the use of machines. In consequence the woman often prefers to be her own machine, exhausting strength and time, rather than adopt a patent device to save them. From time immemorial the boy has taken things apart to "see the wheels go round," while the girl has

Bulk Needed in the Diet.

Fruits, like the green vegeta bles, are composed very largely of water. So much of water is there in both fruits and green vegetables that both classes luta foods are highly useful in making up the bulk of meal without over crowding the body with actual nutrient matter, Beef, for instance, is a con- centrated food, cheese another. If one were to eat solely of cheese or beef, and only enough in quantity to meet the body'S needs in nourlShment, there would not be bulk enough to keep the bowels healthfully active. Yet, if one were to eat only beef or cheese, and consume such a diet in quantities suf- ficient to satisfy the bulk requirements body with far more nourishment than could be properly or usefully assimi- lated to the bodys needs. Hence the need of fruits and green vegetables as dilute foods to maintain the needed bulk of a meal without overcrowding at the nourishment end.
 In actual tissue building elements the fruits are markedly deficient. Only those food substances known as pro teins can be utilized in the body for building tissue. The most-used fruits contain 1 per cent. or less, of protein, whole wheat, or 20 per cent. in some cuts of beef. The olive contains more protein than any of the other common fruits; namely, 25 per cent. By many amateur dietitians the banana has been greatly over-rated, some even calling it a fruit beefsteak. The pro- tein (tissue-building food) content of the banana Is 1.3 per cent, which is just the same proportion of protein as is contained in blackberries.
 Fat is another food constituent found in low quantities in nearly all fruits. The exceptions are the alligator pear, with 10 per cent. of fat, and the olive, with F per cent.

BY Associated Press,

FL Paso, Texas, April 20.-Unless
the federals attack the rebel army that

Francisco Madero, Jr., says there will
be no assault until after o'clock Fri

assurances then from Diaz that he
retire from the presidency, Madero
says the attack will start at once.
"All the federals want is time to
bring reinforcements," he said today,
when asked If he considered the
armistice. 'Tn give Diaz twenty-four
hours to resign" This, he said, was
his final reply to all attempts to bring
about peace or a truce of arms.
Madero met the peace commission
ers at his camp near Juarez, after
which he dictated a statement for the
press. He said in reply what terms of
peace he would consider; that he
would agree to resign as provisional
president, but only if he considers the
will of the people has been satisfied,
otherwise the revolution will continue
notwithstanding any peace negotia-
tions.
He said that in case his conditions
are agreed upon he wants Juarez to
be delivered to the rebels, then the
armistice will be signed. He declar-
ed he would wait until tomorrow even
