There are few housekeepers or COOKS
who have mastered all the details or
management of the gas range, though
the results obtained in cooking and
baking are easier and cleaner than
with either wood or coal. With most
women a stove is a stove, and nothing
special to learn about it except where
TO turn on the gas and how TO light It,.
The higher they turn the flame the
hotter it is, so they think, which is
anything but true. Turn only until a
little blue fame is reached and no yell
low tips" seen; that is air and gives
no heat value. DO not turn the flame
until ii rises up to the handles of cook
ing utensils The heat is no greater
and it is destructive to the saucepans
and kettles. 1t is surprising what per-
feet cooking of most foods can be
done with the flame on gas stove
turned as low as possible without go
ing out.
Most women are ready to confess
that they do not understand their ov-
ems. Often We are too busy doing these
things in the kitchen and forget what
is happening in the oven. Not enough
care can be given to the study of the
relation of heat TO foods, which is a
big item in the finished meal
The preparation of food, mixing and
material, may be perfect, and all ru-
ined in cooking over the gas or baking
in the oven, says the Philadelphia
North American. Mothers often make
the mistake in letting the daughters
make the cake, telling them to run
along" they'll watch the baking. Just
the most important part was omitted
in the daughters training in her learn
ing to make cake. Here is where our
cooking schools are giving the girls
an opportunity seldom found at home
The girls must know and study the
temperature of ovens; they must time
all processes to see how long it takes
the oven to heat for various purpos

CLUBS FOR ADVICE
ON REPAIRING CLOTHES

Keeping her clothing in order,
cleaned, pressed, buttons sewed on
an everything 'spick and span" is one
of the problems of hte business wo-
man. When she leaves the store or
Office she does not want to spend her
whole evening in making her clothes
presentable for the next day. There
is desire for reading or recreation
which she feels puts her in better
trim for the following day than if the
time were spent in constant work
the old adage "All work and no play
applies to the business woman as well
as to Jack"
In these days of lace collars and
cuffs it is often a serious question to
keep them in dainty condition and al
ways presentable and requires so
much time that they are frequently
discarded altogether unless there is
some one who can be trusted to care
for them, as it is impossible to send
them to the laundry many times.
The remark is often heard, ''Oh, if |
could have some one to keep my
clothes in order," and there are some
times women to be found who will do
mending and pressing every week for
special customers, but it has been left
for two women in one of the large
cities of the country to form a regular
club where advice and estimates will
be made on clothes. Shopping will be
done for the busy women; mending,
repairing. cleansing and pressing will
be done, thus relieving the working

new SCHOOL Law
To Be Explained At A Meeting To Be

bers of the boards of education of

talk by j. r. Clarke of Columbus,
Supervisor of Agriculture of this dis

year, but estimates are given on the
work that one. desires to have done.
1t is intended ont only to relieve busy
women of the worry and work of
caring for their clothing, but to reduce
the expense, as the advice given is
along simple lines, eliminating laces
and expensive trimmings, which re-
duces the original cost of dress and
does away with much of the repairing
which becomes necessary with the
hard usage to which all clothing is
subjected in the Office or store.
This plan resembles to some extent
that which is conducted in many
places for the men where their cloth
ing is kept pressed and repaired for
a stated sum each month, but it goes
farther and aims to be more helpful.
