bere . No culture until even the utensils the homes OF the

front is a sensitive copper tube which acts as
thermostat and controls-through compound
ing levers-the one valve at the centre of the
oven.
Outside. at the top of the oven, is the tenn
perature wheel, which adjusts the regulator
This wheel is marked with all the degrees OF
heat from every slow" ranging through
"slow," moderate" quick" and "hot" to very
hot" For most cooks this is sufficient. but if the
exact temperature is desired a chart cor
responding to these settings is provided with
each stove.
When the burner is lighted tiny pilot light,
which is just above the U-shaped burner, is
also ignited This burns steadily, because
when the big burner is turned low or extin-
guished by the action of the thermostat the
pilot light must be ready to relight it the mo-
ment the temperature drops below the indicated
degree
BY this device it is possible to keep the oven
for an indefinite time at any desired tempera-
ture. 1t can be maintained for hours at the
lowest simmering heat, or it can be kept for
given period at the high, steady temperature
necessary for the more sensitive variety OF
cakes or biscuits that drop at the least hint of
a cooling oven.
This regulator removes all the guess work
from baking and all worry about the tempera-
ture of the oven 1t is as reliable as fireless
cooker, and can be left unattended until its
appointed time, while the cook goes about other
work, secured in a certainty that the oven tenn
perature will not vary or the food be burned.
The resemblance to a freess cooker is in
creased by the fact that it is possible to cook
an entire meal of meat, vegetables and dessert
in this oven at one time, and to do it without
preliminary top surface cooking. Of course,
in this case, it is necessary to make proper
selection of foods cooked, just as would be done
in the case of freless cooker After the cook

ing is started, the oven is maintained at low
temperature during the entire time and no Ill
effects result if the food is left in longer than
the time actually needed to cook it.
The regulator is very simple in operation,
and as no unnecessary heat is developed the
range is economical in its consumption of fuel.
In appearance the range is much like the
usual gas stove and is made in three types, the
low oven, elevated oven and cabinet. 1t is con-
structed of sheet steel, with "back satin"
finish that requires no backing, as it can be
cleaned by wiping off with damp cloth.
The cooking top is Of the CRATE type and has
three single burners, one giant burner and
one smmering burner. The Innings Of the oven
and boiler are alumnized and a porcelain en-
amel drip pan fits into the broiling compart-
ment, which is above the oven. The oven can
be equipped with glass door at small addi-
tonal cost.
If desired "Firefy" top lighter can be sup
piled. This burns pilot light and upon the
turning of cock handle jet Of fame shoots
out to all four burners, lighting instantly any
one that is turned on.

Perfection Nut Bowl
Made by the Perfection Nut Cracker Company
Waco, Tex.

at is simply immense" is what one man
said about the Perfection Nut Bowl. He likes
nuts, and always wants to crack them himself
at the table. And when one pecan meat after
another came out whole-and these nuts are
hard to crack nicely-the man was simply de-
lighted.
Pecans and shelled nuts can be cracked end
to end, but hard nuts such as hickory nuts
should be cracked on the sides.
The Perfection Nut Bowl is eighs inches in
diameter, and of mahogany finished wood, with
a vise-like nut-cracker of nickel-pated MALE
able iron fastened in the bottom. The cracker
has screw handle with ball and socket ar
rangement that keeps in line the two pockets
that hold the nuts. The bottom of the bowl is
covered with green felt, so that it cannot
scratch the most highly finished table.
For those who want cracker that clamps
to the table like food chopper there is the
Perfection Nut Cracker. This is exactly like

Simplex Electric Iron
Made by the Simplex Electric Heating Company,
Cambridge, Mass.

The merits of the electric iron have ceased
to be matter of discussion. 1t is one of the
best little labor savers known to the housewife.
Therefore the most that can be said about one
or another Of the tribe is that it is more or less
efficient as the case may be.
The Simplex Electric Iron is among those
present in the more efficient class. The body
of it is in two pieces, solid bottom and hol
low top. The electric heating element is fused
in solid enamel to the upper side of the ironing
surface, insuring good conduction of heat over
the whole fiat surface of the iron.
The special iron tested in The Tribune In
stitute was No. 1906 A. We found that it heat

so quickly that in most cases it is ready for

Milwaukee, Wis.
This small knife and scissors grinder looks
and works exactly like liliputian grindstone
and it sharpens knives and scissors as effectu-
ally as it's grown-up relative out in the wood
shed sharpens the scythe.
The small grinder, however, is clamped to
the table, bench or shelf where it is used. The
frame is of metal, enameled black, and the
wheel is made of very hard, ine-graned.
grayish substance that is wonderfully effective
IN putting cutting edge on anything that is
used for cutting.
All the gearing is fully inclosed, so that it is
impossible for any child to catch his fingers IN
the machinery. There is an automatic knife
guide in the frame and a special guide for
scissors or shears.
The little wheel runs so easily and the whole
contrivance is so simple that child can use IT
without difficulty or danger.
