ners should extend well forward and
rearward, which will materially add to
the speed of the sled when coasting
down a hill.
Fig. / shows an ordinary girls sled,
which is made into a flexible or dirigf-
BILE sled. The top part of the runners,
shown in dotted lines, is cut off on
a level with the seat and the ends are
fastened together with a transverse
bar a. made of iron or wood. From
this bar, and fastened thereto. are
bars b, one On each side Of the seat
and parallel Herewith. These bars
are fastened to all the standards of
the sled. On the front bar is fastened
a steering lever C, which is fulcrumed
by the MISUNDERSTANDING arms d
to the front part Of the seat Of the
sled. 1t is now evident that when the
operator wishes to steer to the right,
he presses the lever with the left foot,
and vice versa. AS the steering lever
is thus moved, it will be noticed that
it moves the transverse bar to one
side or the other, thereby curving the
runners in the same direction, which
will then follow smoothly in the
curved tracks.
1t will be noticed from the plan
view, Fig. 2, that the end standard is
bolted to the seat of the sled. and
that the other two standards are not,
so as to allow free movement of the
runners when operated upon by the
steering lever.
Two pieces of wood should be fast
ened under the seat. short distance
each side Of the forward standard. to
allow for side movement.
The old iron shoes on the wood run
ners should be taken off and curved
or followed as shown in Fig 4, or may
be replaced by new ones. By refer
ring to Fig. 2, 1t will be seen how this
curving of the shoe may be accom-

lNsuREs ECONOMY OF FUEL.

Paper bag cooking economies
fuel-the fact is demonstrable. be-
yond doubt. Particularly II the
fuel is gas. The figures to follow are
given for gas, but are easy of trans
Hation into coal heat or even OIL
The oven of gas range turned on
full, burns twenty feet of gas an
hour for each flame-bar. Commonly
there are two bars-thus, the hourly
consumption at full head is forty feet
THE giant burner on top likewise,
at full head, consumes twenty feet an
hour, the small burners, each ten
feet Thus stove in full commits
sion for pot and pan cooking consumes
ninety feet an hour
Now, for paper bag cooking the
oven must be lighted and turned on
full for eight minutes before any
thing goes into t; it must also burn
full strength for seven minutes longer
Thus. it consumes ten feet of gas at
the outset. Turning out one burner to
reduce the heat one-half at the end
of the seven minute period reduces
consumption to fifteen feet for the
rest OF the hour, making a total Of
twenty-five feet against forty. But
roasting does not demand that bur-
ner goes full-turning 1t down might
save five feet In the hour. Thus the
net four-saving of gas on the oven
account is ten feet.
But there are other accounts BY
help of paper bags, you can not mere
dy roast in the oven, but cook at the
same time couple of vegetables and
bake pie or pudding. With a small
roast you may even cook three veg
etables, thereby leaving unlighted
three upper jets, which would mean
a saving of thirty feet of gas an hour.
Cooking thus solely in the oven
means a saving of fifty feet of gas
ian hour.
Nor is this even all the story. Mys-
iteriously, things cook more quickly
i'm bags than out of them. The saw
ing in time is one-fifth to one-sixth
Putting this at the lowest, and esti-
mating the whole range consumption
of gas at ninety feet, there is saw
ing of fifteen feet. Add them to the
fifty feet already in credit, and the
sum is catering. indeed. to the paper
bag.

GETS THE GOOD OUT OF FOOD.

Eating serves a double purpose
the giving of pleasure, the keeping
up of strength. Il-cooked food re-
duces both to minimum-hence the
proverb: God sends meat and the
devil sends cooks" Possibly his
satanic majesty now and again mods.
It must have been in such somno-
lent interval that he let M. Soyer's
system of paper bag cooking get by
him. For unquestionably it is in the
way of reducing ill-cooking at least
one-half. Thereby 1t will help to feed
fat all the nations of the earth.
The use of cooking is to change
the nature of food substances, max
ing them at once better tasting and
more digestible. Heat works by de-
veloping flavors and transforming sub
stances. It's most important Office is.
however, to break Down fiber, animal
and vegetable, to such a degree as to
render it easily digestible. II 1t is
to do this it must be properly applied.
That is to say gently, regularly.
Simple food, well cooked, Is the
bag cooking means good cooking.
It follows naturally that the paper
bag is especially useful in preparing
food for delicate persons, and grow
ing children. Here follow some
dishes that have helped build up
weak and wasted people. That they
will be likewise good for children.

no doubt.

dredge very lightly with -four. Then
wrap in bacon, sliced as thin as pos
