Place Of the rlreless Cooker.

Even in this rich country, only one
family in ten can afford to hire a
cook, and In the far west such a per-
son is seldom obtainable at any price.
Now, by the fireless cooker all women
who have to prepare their own meals
will be emancipated from the hot
stove slavery, which is particularly
cruel in our sultry summers. II
makes 1t possible for them to cook
breakfast, luncheon and dinner at the
same time. in perhaps an hour, leav-
ing the rest of the day free for other
work. Broiling, steaming. stewing.
baking, frying, roasting-eyerything,
except crisping and toasting-can be
done with these boxes in their most
improved styles.-Century.

KILLS WIFE To
END SUFFERING

PARIS, Nov. 23.-M. Beguery,
a sexagenarian and former pro-
cureur da la republique at Aries,
whose wife had suffered from
agonies of an incurable malady,
today yielded to her oft-repeated
requests and killed her with three
revolver shots.
The couple were very much at
tached, but her sufferings made
his wife twice attempt to commit
suicide.
NJ. Beguery surrendered to the
police after he had killed his wife.
The sister of his wife arrived at
the station house shortly after
and exclaimed:
"Beguery, you are a saint. 1
know what she suffered for years
and what you endured.
Nine. Beguery's sufferings had
made her husband neurasthenic,
