ENSURES ECONOMY OF FUEL.

Paper bag cooking economies
fuel-the fact is demonstrate, be-
yund a doubt. Particularly If the
fuel is gas. The figures to follow are
given for gas, but are easy of trans
lation into coal heat or even oil.
The oven of a 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
ho,tr, the small burners, each ten
feet Thus a stove in full commits
sioI 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 forseven 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 a bur-
ner goes full-turning it down might
save five feet in the hour. Thus the
net hour-saving of gas on the oven
account is ten feet.
But there are other accounts. BY
help of paper bags, you can not mere
iy roast in the oven, but cook at the
same time couple of vegetables and
bake a pie or pudding With a small
roast you may even cook three veg
etables, thereby leaving unlighted
three upper jets, which would mean
Cooking thus solely in the oven
means saving of fifty feet of gas
an hour.
Nor is this even all the story Mys-
teriously, things cook more quickly
in 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 a saw
ing of fifteen feet. Add them to the
fifty feet already in credit, and the
sum is fattering. indeed, to the paper

GETS THE GOOD OUT OF FOOD.

Eating serves double purpose
the giving of pleasure, the keeping
up of strength. 1ll-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.
1t 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 it 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 degree as to
render it easily digestible. If 1t is
to do this it must be properly applied.
That is to say, gently. regularly.
Simple food, we'll cooked, is the
foundation of happiness-and paper
bag cooking means good cooking.
1t follows naturally that the paper

food for delicate persons, and grow

Mystery in Corner Stones.

"yStCTy III NOIuCJ 0kVt1VSs
One phase of New York life that
lures me past all resistance is the
opening o. an old corner stone" said
the city salesman. every time my
progressive townsmen pull down a
building that was put up a few years
back with impressive ceremonies I try
to be present at the unsealing Of the
old stone. Nothing reveals the
change in fashions more mercilessly
than its contents. The other day they
opened the cornerstone Of a building
that had run its course in IL years.
It had been the whim of the owner to
preserve certain articles Of feminine
adornment for future ages to marvel
over. Along with the more serious
documents representative Of contem-
porary life were box Of hairpins. a
baby's feeding bottle, several toys and
photographs of pretty women"

Tracks in the Snow
(copyrieht 1911. b. Associated Literary Prs.s.)
By DONALD ALLEN

It was the first snow OF the season,
and therefore not much Of snow
just about enough to call out the
cats and rabbits and encourage them
to leave million tracks on the white
blanket.
When Miss Ida Benham looked
from her window In the morning she
uttered long-drawn "O-h-h-h!" at
the sight. When she got downstairs
she "O-h-h-h-ed!" again, and encour-
aged by the smile of Aunt Betty's
hired man she clasped her hands and
exclaimed:
"Oh, this is what 1 was waiting

The first snow in the city is not
like the first snow in the country.
There is a difference in the white
ness, and when there are tracks in
the back yard a city man must admit
that they were made by tomcats in
stead of rabbits.
Miss Ida was eighteen, but had
never seen real rabbit track. Mel
Their had she ever met a hired man.
She had seen dog tracks and met
gruff policemen in Central park.
II shall put on my shortest skirt, -
she said to her aunt as they ate
breakfast, "and my thick shoes and
that old hat brought along, and l
shall hunt down as many as six rab-
bits
"Bless you, child" was the reply.
Il may hunt for five miles around"

II may not get back till dark"
But don't get all tired out"
MY SOUL" exclaimed the girl, as
she jumped up. II haven't any gun
and there isn't any time to write
brother Ben to send one up"
"But you won't need one, dear.
You take club with you. You track
a rabbit into a hollow log and stand
by with your club raised to hit him
on the head as he looks out to see
who you are"

The log was hollow from end to end,

girl saw the humor of the situation

first time I ever went rabbit hunting.
