belong to the Bulgarian idea is espec-
tally well liked.
Since the work is easy to do and the
effect is good, there is everything to
commend it. Really very handsome
effects can be obtained by working
these little figures in color and out
lining in black. Eyelet embroidery is
smart, too, and a great deal Of eyelet
embroidery on white is worked in color.

a very simple one, it provides a num-

the center Of each box plat and the
closing is effected by means Of links
passed through these button-holes.
Clever women will be quick to see
that the frills can be attached to a

coming removable. and the blouse
that can be worn with frils or without
as occasion demands becomes doubly
useful.

'HE skirt that shows a slight
drapery at the front is one Of
the newest. This one is espe-
cially attractive for the reason that
the straight overlapped edge gives
slender effect TO the figure while the
drapery at the left side is unusually
graceful. The little tucks at the back
make pretty feature also. The model
is an excellent one both for suits and
for gowns. Fashion continues to allow
a choice Of the slightly raised waist
line and the natural one so that the
finish can be made at whichever point
is more becoming. In the illustration.

MODERN BUSTING.
Electricity Used for busting.

For removing dust from around
buttons in tufted upholstery there is
no other method so rapid and thor

ness demand that upholstery and
bedding should have this kind of
treatment at least once a week There
are always places where dust and
germs lodge and places which the
maid neglects to clean with buster
because Of the inconvenience, but with
the different tools that are part Of the

simple and easy matter to clean thor

Chatting DISH ARTISTS.
Historical Characters Entertained
with Chatting Dishes.

The chatting dish is not a modern
utensil, but the application of the
electric current to it is the modern
feature. Fannie Merritt Farmer
states that bronze chatting dishes OF
unique designs and careful workman
ship have been found among the
ruins of Pompeii; that Louis XIV often
amused himself "by making quintes-
sential stews in silver pans" and that
| Madame Recamier, the beautiful and
intellectual society leader whose salon
was always filled with a brilliant
circle, entertained by the use of a
chatting dish.
An Englishman who writes most en-
tertainingly on the subject of the
chatting dish says: "Chafing dish
cookery bears the same relations to
middle class kitchen cookery that the
delightful art of fencing does to that
of the broadsword. Both are useful
but there is a world of subtle differ
entiation between the two. The aver
age rough and tumble of the domestic
saucepan contrasts to the same de-
gree with the deft manipulation of the
battery Of tiny pans"
Joseph of Savoy offered this advice
out OF his great wisdom: make the
good things as plain as possible. God
gave a special flavor to everything.
Respect it. Do not destroy it by mess
ing"

Twin FALLS COOKING FAMED.
Mention Made In Eastern Papers of
City's Electric Cooking.

The following article has been
copied in Electrical Pages in many
parts of the country and in a number
of electrical magazines and other pub
LEGATIONS
Electric cooking has become so
much the fashion in Idaho that it
might almost be called fad were 1t
not for the very substantial mode of
expression it has taken, for it stops
at nothing less than regular electric
kitchen ranges.
1.-THE Great Shoshone and Twin
Falls Water Power Company of Twin
Falls, Idaho, has been ordering cleo
trio ranges by the carload to supply
the local demand

read, particularly in the east, and this
article cannot help but be big boost
for the Twin Falls country and for its
up-to-date spirit and progressiveness
The carload nf electric ranges re-
ferred to in the article is the first
shipment of the kind ever made in the
country, and has caused quite furry

NO-hfAT STOVES POPULAR.
Women Have Laid Aside Drudgery OF
Summer Cooking.

This summer will see many more
families than last, provided with the
household helps which make the warm
summer days really enjoyable by ev-
eryone.
Undoubtedly the greatest summer
problem for the home worker is cook
ing; aside from the one time neces-
sity for extra heat for this purpose it's
persistency is unfailing. 1t is, there
fore, only natural that women have
given the first consideration to cool,
easy cooking.
Many manage most nobly in the
small table cooking appliances. If a
woman is in possession of even one Of
these Zone can sometimes be used for

fully planning her bills of fare she
can have we'll balanced meals pre-
pared almost entirely by table cook
ing. 1t is worth while to take time
in the early part of the summer to
figure out a real line up on this.
But, on the whole, for large fam
lilies and small, the electric kitchen
range has been the most satisfactory
answer to the problem.
Every electric range has the ad-
vantage of producing no extra heat
and OF requiring the least possible at
tention.

veloped in both size and price to suit

ELECTRIC lNCUBATORS.
Incubating by Electricity Proves
Satisfactory.

Electricity, it has been discovered,
is the best possible medium to use to
heat an incubator for Matching eggs.
In New Orleans this is being done on
very extensive scale The regular
city supply of the current is used, but
the intensity is regulated by means
of thermostat. Thus any tempera-
ture desired can be obtained and held,
something practically impossible with
the oil lamps formerly used for the
purpose. Very little care is required.
About all it amounts to is an occa-
sional reading of the thermostat and
taking out the eggs once in every "a
hours, SO that they may be aired.

RAPID GROWTH OfAYOuNGST[R
Development of Electricity has Been
Marvellous.

The birthday of electricity is like
who shall be ever young. The newest
of the sciences, it is just beginning to
celebrate the anniversaries of achieve
ments which were begun twenty-five
or thirty years ago. From insignifi-
cant beginnings dated from the time
Of Farady, 1791-1S69, it was not till
the arrival of the incandescent lamp
and the simple motor, now less than
forty years old, that electricity was
regarded as a bouncing baby of con-
siderable size
It's progress is nothing less than as
touding. It's manifold possibilities
now supremely effective in SO many
ways are just being revealed Elec-
tricity, not only for lighting and pow

over the country. For cleanliness, eff
ficiency, and reliability, it has no COM

ELECTRIC IRONS SAVE TIME.
Saving Effected in Time and Money
with Electric Irons.

The cost of operating electric irons
is less than the cost of coal for the
laundry stove when used only to heat
irons. 1t has been estimated that
each worker with ordinary sadirons
loses one minute out of every ten in
trying to keep them at the right tenn
perature for use. Electric irons
maintain their proper heat steadily

SAVING PAYS COOKING COST.
Slight Shrfnkage of Meat Big Factor
in Electric Cooking.

That saving of one and one-half
pounds of meat in nine-pound leg
of mutton may be effected by cooking
in an electric oven as compared with
cooking the same joint by coal has
been shown in the results of num-
Der Of recent careful and independent
experiments.
These experiments show that there
is a shrinkage of from twenty-five to
thirty-five per cent in the weight of
meat cooked by coal, whereas the
same kind of food cooked to the same
degree by the electric oven loses only
ten or fifteen per cent of it's original
weight. Thus, it is conceivable that
even if coal costs nothing 1t would be
cheaper to use an electric oven, since
the shrinkage due to electric cooking
is so slight compared with that sus-
tanned when coal ovens are employed.
The results of experiments made by
Mr.. K. B. Mathews, an English Elec-
trio Heating Engineer, are as follows:
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-05-06

"A IdHHy VI lOuT people ordinarily
use about A pounds of meat each
month. If the cooking is to be by
means of coal oven, 621a pounds of
meat will have to be ordered from the
butcher. If an electric oven or broil-
er is to be used, only 81 II pounds will
have to be ordered. The use of the
electric oven, therefore, results in a
saving of 1111 pounds of meat. At 20
cents pound, the actual saving for
a family of four people is about 1920

tin does not treat the subject Of road
building, but takes up the repair and
care of roads after they are built. All
classes Of roads from the natural earth
road to the macadam roads with BIZ
luminous surfacing, have received at
tention. The action Of automobiles
on road surfaces is explained. The
systems of road management in
Massac New York. England
and France are given, with tables of

The writer concludes that on ac-
count Of the use OF heavier vehicles
and motor trucks the tendency of
road building is toward a heavier
and more substantial foundation and
consequent reduction of the cost Of
maintenance.
