THE KITCHEN REDIVIVIIS


THE KITCHEN REDIVIVUS.
At present the pendulum is swinging back
to the kitchen-a modern, improved kitchen
that can be made as interesting, as beautiful
and as homelike as the old farm kitchen so
beloved by poets and painters.
There has been an awful period Of transi
ton, when the kitchen was something to be
showed away in the dark corner, kept out of
sight and ignored as much as possible. This
was as bad for the family as a whole life
spent within the four walls of her kitchen was
bad for the oldtime housewife Perhaps at
last we have struck happy medium.
1t is time to raise a cry Of back to the
kitchen" and take few lessons from the
Dutch from our own forebears and other FAR
more simple and frugal folk than we, who
nevertheless put in their kitchens shining tiles
and copper and pewter utensils of the kind
that are beloved Of collectors and are worth
much money.
Why not make our own kitchens attractive
and homelike as we'll as efficient? The kind
of equipment chosen can help greatly 20 do
this. Also the arrangement and color. Even
curtains and flower pot in the window
quite sanitary and wholly practicable in the
dustess gas and electric kitchen. Perchance,
also, some comfort, interest and beauty in the
home workshop might contribute a goodly
share toward the solution of the servant
problem.
Don't begrudge either beauty or utility TO
the kitchen-it is the dynamo Of the home!

where kerosene oil is the only fuel available
aside from wood or coal. Of course, this heater
is not as rapid as the gas, but it provides
good supply of hot water at reasonable oper-
ating expense.
Although there are electrical tank water
heaters, we have found that heating quantities
of water by electricity is not economically
practical unless the electric rate is about one
cent per kilowatt hour, because Of the large
current consumption necessary to do the work
with any degree of speed.
SELF-HEATING IRONS.
Irons, while really laundry accessories, are
used Just as often in the kitchen. The self
heating type is the most efficient and labor
saving. The carrying of the iron and the walk
ing back and forth between the ironing board
and stove are eliminated and the conditions
under which the work is done are more COM
Portable, since minimum amount of heat is
dissipated into the surrounding atmosphere.
The electric iron is now well constructed,
with good balance and graceful shape, and is
very efficient. A first-class iron will hold its
heat SO we'll that the current need be ION"
only one-half of the time. Furthermore,
there is one with thermostatic control that
automatically keeps the temperature always
at the point desired.
The self-heating gas iron, owing to reasons
of design and construction, has a very low
coeffcient of heat retention, and therefore, the

Few housewives are privileged to have a
kitchen built exactly according to their own
ideas of efficiency or convenience. She who
lives in a rented house or apartment must ac-
commodate herself to conditions as she finds
them But fortunately each woman can select
the equipment that shall go into her kitchen.
And if she knows what she is about and
chooses wisely it is possible for her to make
an immense improvement in the comfort and
efficiency Of a badly planned room
The location of the sink, the coal range, the
boiler and possibly the refrigerator is fixed
by the architect. This cannot be altered with
out great expense, but when it comes to the
rest of the kitchen equipment the housewife
can do very much as she pleases.
CHOOSING THE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
When the time comes to equip the kitchen
the wise and farsighted woman will give the
subject long and careful thought. Each pur-
chase represents an investment that should be
good for a period of years. Therefore, she
will see that she gets the best value for her
money.
The niece de resistance of the whole kitchen
eouipment is the range. The woman whose
kitchen is supplied with gas has the largest
selection from which to choose, for gas ranges
are many and most efficient. Each woman can
decide for herself whether she wants plain
cabinet style, or one with thermostatic con-
trolled oven, or the freless type, or one with
fireess cooker attached.
When it comes to electric ranges the choice
must lie between the usual style, with e!ther

by the L. u. l.. q u. Co., IN place OF
the candle power system now in
vogue, was declared a raise in price
by E. w. Bemis, city gas expert, be-
fore the gas, oil and electric light
committee of the council.
The Peoples Gas Co. will make
greater profits selling heat unit gas
at a lower price than on the present
kind, which is sold for more money.
Heat unit gas was termed inferior
by Bemis. 1t is better for manufac-
turing purposes, but does not serve
in the ordinary Open-fame burner
used by common folk.
The Examiner was the only morn
ing paper to tell this stOTy-bUt
there's a reason.
Sam insult, British multi-million-
aire head of the electric light, gas
and transportation public utilities of
the city, has been on the outs with
the Hearst papers for years.
When Hearst moved into Chicago
in 1900 he bought the corner at Mar
ket and Madison, out Of the hight
priced loop district.
Hearst had the inside history of
Chicago down pat before he entered
the city and he thought that the Mar
ket street stub of the Chicago & Oak
Park 81" could be Ousted. This
would leave him one of the widest
streets in the city, when the struc-
ture was gone, to run his delivery
wagons around in. The street would
be one of the finest.
So after he bought the property
and put up the Hearst building he
asked insult, who RUNS the Oak Park
a." to tear down the old elevated
structure.
insult refused to do this and Hearst
filed suit in an effort to force him to.
All the years that the case was in
court the Hearst papers never lost a
chance to rap the OLD q" structure
as an ugly nuisance.

pear in the suit which was carried on
at the expense of the taxpayers by
the city law department, was that
the stub had OUtgrOwn its usefulness.
Back in 1888, before there was a
loop of elevated tracks, the Oak Park
Il" came only to Market street and
the suburbanite hOOfed it to the CEN
trail part of the city.
When the loop was built the Oak
Park trains ran around it and the
Market street structure was used to
store cars on. Hearst claimed that
the Il" had no right to hold down a
street which was not regularly used
for transportation purposes.
He was turned down in court about
six months ago and has been sore
ever since.
When the agitation for jitney
buses struck the country the Hearst
papers tried hard to encourage a bus
system for Chicago to break Insults
hold on the car lines. His American

He nearly gave the people jitney
auto service, but the park boards
controlling the bOulevards over
which the jitneys would have to
travel to compete with the cars came
to Insults rescue. Dominated by big
business and hOg-packeTs' lawyers,
these boards refused the autos the
right to use their bOUlevaTds.
But Hearst is still angry and once
in a while he takes a jab at insult
The jabs are really taps, however,

marvellous exploits in romantic agri-
culture in this state, but the achieve
ment of johnson is without parallel
A little more than a year ago john
son was driving a taxicab in Indian
apolis. Business had been fairly good
with him during the summer, and he
had saved his money. He had about
$500 in cash in the savings bank.
The wanderlust seized him. He had
heard a great deal about Montana,
the land Of mystery and marvels. He
decided upon the Great Adventure.
He would go west and see what this
wonderful state Of Montana was like.
IF it did not suit him he could return
to Indianapolis and drive his taxicab
again.
SO he drew his money out of the
bank and started for Montana. He

that it was possible to file on land
which could be farmed at a profit.
So he went to Montague, out Fort
Benton way, and filed on 2S5 acres
of land. When he had paid his fill
ing fee he had just $3.50 left. He

went to work for n nearby farmer,
and spent his leisure time in CARRYING
the boulders off his land.
Under advice from the farmer for
whom he a working, he let a com
tract for the breaking Of his land.
He paid what he could on account ard
gave his note for that for which he
could not pay. He bought seed wheat
on time and seeded 1875 acres. A few
days ago he threshed his crop. The
raw land had yielded over 5000 bush
els OF wheat, a remarkable bushelage.
The wheat is of the So kind, and
johnson is holding for that price. He
IS almost certain to get it.
johnson made $4,000 out of moth
ing in a year. Aladdin with his lamp
could not have done much better.

Years ago. I have the best neighbors
in the world. They have told me what
to do. I am going to buy 500 acres
of state land that adjoins my place
and which is appraised at $24 per
acre. That will give me 600 acres Of
land. And I am going to put every
acre of the 600 that will pillow up into
wheat next spring. If l have any
luck at all I will do two or three
times as we'll as I did this year. That
will give me enough money to buy a

will not make as much money out of

lifetime to the Montana farmer. And
an effort should be made to undertake
a systematic improvement in grain.
The commercial club should see that
every farmer brings to the officers of
the club a sample of wheat, oats or
barley which he intends to SOW next
spring, for comparison with SAMPLES
brought in by his neighbors. A blank
should be filled out by each farmer
covering the following points:
Name of variety.
Number Of bushels per acre.
How long grown by farmer.
Where he got it originally.
Mixtures with other varieties.
How seed bed was prepared.
When grain was seeded.
How soil was treated.
What was on the field the wear he-

Whether grain lodged.
Whether attacked by rust.

A demonstration Of various ways to

See That Every Farmer
Has Best Seed Obtainable.
The purpose of this meeting shall
be to see that every farmer has the
very best seed available, and a vote
should be taken to get as many as
possible to unite on the variety best
adapted to the soil and climate, and
cut out the mongrels.
1t is very gratifying to note that
whenever the quality of grain is i'm
proved the quantity is improved like
wise.
Several of the best farmers, bank
ers, superintendent Of schools and
a few business men should get to-
gether to arrange this program, which
will mean millions Of dollars for the
state Of Montana in 1917.
Now is our opportunity, and we
ought to do everything possible to
raise the greatest grain crop in his
tory. The newspapers will give this
campaign the fullest publicity. and we
invite Il public-spirited citizens to
begin at once so that we may have
time to secure proper seed if we need
it: and in ease we have seed for sale,
let us advertise it to the world.
