the nicely ironed clothes on the rack
ever growing more and more is con.
slant inspiration. You have something
to show for your work.
Today the woman who is her own
laundress eliminates all the work that
is possible, wearing crepe underwear
and dresses, thus cutting down the
ironing. At best, ironing, if well done
is firing work, but by planning and
forethought it may be made much
easier Before beginning, see that all
things needed are at hand, fresh,
clean cover on the ironing board, wax
for the irons and, If it is possible an
electric iron, for it saves much fatigue
walking back and forth getting fresh
irons, and bowl of water and clean
cloth to dampen too dry spots or re-
move soiled spot.
A high stool to sit on while ironing
is a great strength saver, the feet may
rest on q chair round and the small
pieces, napkins, handkerchiefs and
towels and pillow cases, ironed quite
as well as when standing.
When ironing the larger pieces fold
a thick rug in several folds and place
under the feet
An electric mangle is wonderful
aid in the household that has much
laundry, for all the fiat pieces can be
quickly ironed and much better than
by hand work.
Have the ironing board of the right
height so that the work may be done
with the least possible fatigue. A
room we'll ventilated is another essen.
tial in making ironing more comfort
able, and few minutes in a darkened
room on a comfortable couch will rest
one so that the work may be resumed
and finished without exhausting
fatigue.

boiling, sailed water, uncovered.
Drain and cut down the sides, fill with
cheese sauce. Sprinkle with buttered
crumbs and brown in the oven.
Cheese Saucc.-Add tablespoonful
of butter to two of flour and cook until
smooth. then add a cupful of milk, a
dash of red pepper, half teaspoonful
of salt and a cupful Of dry grated
cheese. Pour at once into and around
the cabbage. Do not cook after the
cheese is added or it will become
stringy.
A cheese to be right for cooking,
such as rarebits and fondues, should
be smooth and melt when pressed
against the roof of the mouth; feel
smooth and without grains.
Horse Radish Sauce.-Take half
cupful of grated horse-radish root, one
and a half cupfuls of milk, two tea
spoonfuls of sugar and a third of
cupful of soft bread crumbs; cook to-
gether twenty minutes in a double
boiler, then add three tablespoonfuls
of butter, half teaspoonful each of
salt and cinnamon. Serve hot
Cheese With Rice.-Take a cupful
OF cooked rice, add half teaspoonful
of salt, and a cupful and a third of
grated cheese. half cupful OF hot
milk. then add four egg yolks beaten

needed when stewing, as there is little
evaporation. When using the radia-
tors, as is best in nearly all cooking
heat them until they scorch piece
of paper at once when laid upon them.
Have the pot roast in tight vessel
and boiling hot when it is placed on
the radiator, then cover and let cook
until tender. Another radiator placed
on top will hasten the cooking but
need not be used for a stew.
For steaming buildings and brown
bread, the cooking of rice, oatmeal
and other cereals, for baking fruit
cakes which are often so hard to bake
in the oven, the cooker is an ideal
saver of fuel and time.
The country housewife, as we'll as
the city one. may prepare her Sunday
dinner, go to church and enjoy the
sermon and chat with her friends
without hurrying home to cook dinner
for it will be all ready, never over
cooked, boiled dry or underdone in the
fireless cooker. By careful planning
the cook knows to a minute how long
certain foods need TO cook and results
never vary.
The fiavors of meats, fish or fowl
cannot be surpassed in comparison
with other ways of cooking, for by the
slow process flavors are developed
and brought out, the juices and natu-
raj flavors preserved.
Chicken la Fireiess.-Prepare the
chicken as for frying, brown it in a
little butter until all sides are evenly
Drowned, in the dish in which it is to
be cooked. Season well. Place hot
stone in the cooker, put in the pot
tightly covered. Put down the cooker
lid and fasten tightly. Cook three
hours for five-pound chicken. When
ready to serve place the pieces on the
platter and make a gravy with thick
ened cream or top milk. This may be
poured over the chicken or served in
gravy.

City Without Private Houses.

In one respect-a point not so fat
tering to metropolitan complacency-
New York is unique among great
cities: Manhattan is city without
private houses. In the last fifteen
years few private dwellings have beer

that same period thousands of the old

CITIES SHOULD HELP
BUILD GOOD ROADS
Big Towns Benefit as Much as
Residents Along Route, Stu
dents Of Subject Say.

Men who have been successful IN the
building up OF large enterprises: men
who have made a lifelong study Of
conditions OF affairs where bad roads
predominate. and men who have put
their best efforts into the improving Of
the highways are unanimous IN one
opinion-that II is the duty OF the big
cities to help in the building OF good
roads that lead into their limits,
The cities derive as much benefit, II
not more, than the residents along the
route Of the proposed Improvement.
It has been proved time and time
again that farm lands with a hard
road outlet into the city are far more
valuable than the farm that IL shut
off from the city five months out Of
the year ION account Of impassable
roads.
