WHAT THE UNION DOES
The chief advantage Of this union to the en-
ployer is that it holds the worker up TO stand
ard and encourages specialization in various
lines of homework. Employers often py
more than the minimum wage laid down for
the sake Of securing certain cleaners or laun-
dresses. Both employers and workers are sn.

ton of hours. 1t turns what has always been
a casual and uncertain employment into a sure
thing. A woman who can get away from her
own home duties two days week can find 1
chance to work those days, and she who wants
six days work gets it.
The special superiority of the public employ.

This arrangement has the very great advan-

out certain number of days each week.
ADVANTAGES OF DAYS WORK

There are some who have not thought about
these things; there are even some women who
have not really cared for the so-caed "labor
savers'-ether because they are prejudiced or
because they have never tried them out. Now,
it is possible to try about every labor-saving
device on the market for given length of
time, with money refunded if the utensil does
not prove satisfactory.
We bought fireless cooker on that plan two
years ago. When it came and was unwrapped
from its many packings "the guide mon said,

READ militant articles and
stories about the farmer who
buys tools for himself but not
for his wife. This is a trite
idea, for the farmer of to-day
helps for the house as he does
for the work outside-that is,
many farmers do.

Wisdom Of Stocking the Pantry Shelf

A particularly delicious dressing for fruit
salads, which will keep for some time, is made
in this way: Heat in the double boiler one cup
full of cream, beat four egg yolks and add to
them two tablespoonfuls each of vinegar, but
ter and honey, then teaspoonfu each Of
mustard and salt and a dash of paprika. Pour
the cream slowly over this mixture, beating
constantly, pour into the double boiler and cook
until it thickens. When needed add some Of
this to whipped cream.
OF course every housewife has canned
salmon and lobster on her shelf. Add to these
sardines mackerel and haddock, and she has
dozens of tempting dishes at her command
No pantry is we'll stocked without several
cans of veal, ham, or beef loaf. These cost
but 10 cents each and are ready to serve in
fifteen minutes. Devilled chicken and potted
meats are also first aids for sandwiches and
luncheon dishes.
Breakfast has not been neglected by those
who have prepared short notice" foods, and
you can now buy corned beef hash, roast-beef
hash sausage. sliced bacon sliced smoked
beef, Goldfish cakes, various kinds of fish fakes
which need but cream sauce to turn them
into delectable breakfast dish, and baked
beans, which are almost daily breakfast dish
in the New England states.
date butter that comes in both 10 and
10 cent cans is nice as a sandwich filler; also
it may be spread on crackers to serve
as sweet at luncheon supper, or
for the school lunch-box. Cakes and
doughnuts made with honey keep moist for
a long time and are nice to keep in the extra
cake box. OF course such perishable things
as these should be used before they grow stale
and then replaced.
ADD THESE TO YOUR STOCK
In addition TO the usual canned vegetables
there should be few jars of mushrooms,
which turn the steak into company dish; po-
tatO chips, when alright, keep long time,
and by putting them in the oven n few min
utes can quickly be made crisp for luncheon
or supper.
Delicious Boston brown bread is put up in
tins which need but to be placed in boiling
water and steamed thoroughly to make the
bread indistinguishabe from the fresh kind.
few jars of cracker crumbs should always
be on the pantry shelf for dressings and seal
loped dishes which must be prepared quickly,
with no time for drying bread crumbs. The

AN EPOCH-MAKING EXPERIMENT

Our first meal in the ireless cooker was
cooked on a certain Sunday. Into an eight
quart aluminium vessel we put peas; above
them we placed potatoes, and above the pota-
tees we put sweet corn. In smaller utensll
we put pudding to be steamed. The radiators
were heated, and one placed in the bottom Of
one compartment of the cooker; the pudding
was placed upon this and second radiator put
above it; on this second radiator rested our
utensil of vegetables. The meat we did not
put into the cooker that day.
We were not alone when that first dinner
was consigned to the cooker, as an interested
neighbor CHANGED to be here. We expected to
leave the food in for two hours or more, but
a sudden demand arose for hasty meal, so we
concluded would take the dinner from the
fireless cooker and finish it over the kerosene
range.
To our intense surprise, however, it was
already cooked. Frankly, we had never eaten
peas that tasted so good; in fact, the whole
dinner was cooked to perfection.
Followed days of experimentation and never
once did the tireless prove unavailable. We
