I have had it on my mind to tell you
something of casserole cooking for
some time, but just now is an eXcep
ionally good time to use it, when the
usual spring house cleaning and sew
ing is being done.
The meat and vegetables may all be
prepared in the morning in the cas-
serole and no anxiety felt about the
dinner except to put the dish into a
moderate over two or three hours be
fore the meal.
The casserole is an earthen dish
usually brown-made with close-fit'
ting cover 1t is the serving as well
as the cooking dish, consequently
much extra dish washing is saved by
this method of cooking. 1t is a labor
saving device, taking the place of halt
a dozen pots and pans in the kitchen
In all our modern methods for good
housekeeping, we are thoroughly con
WINGED that much less heat may be
used in our cooking.

The Very latest.

The most recent invention in laun-
dry machinery is a machine TO fold
rundown collars, called a collar
moulder. The collar is dampened and
placed on a form which presses it into
steam-heated mould where it is
dried. This gives the collar a per
feet shape and finish without friction
or danger of cracking the fold, 1t is
very complicated machine, working
automatically and operated by a one
half horsepower electric motor. All
the big collar factories at Troy. n. Y,
and most of the up-to-date laundries
are installing this machine. The Par.
ker Laundry company has just re-
ceived one-the only one in Rock Is
lard-and will have it in operation in
it's front window in a few days. Go
ard see it or send them your collars
and see what nice work it does
