Longitudinal section through fireless cook
er. showing details of the constructions:
A. Outside container (wooden box, old
trunk, etc.) B. Packing or insulating
material (crumpled paper. cinders. etc.).
C, Metal lining In nest. D. Cooking ket-
tie. E. Soapstone plate. or other source
of heat. F. Pad of excelsior for covering
top. G. Hinged cover of outside con-
tainer.
the inexpensive materials that can be
obtained easily, crumpled paper is
probably the most satisfactory. since
it is clean and odorless7and, if proper
ly packed, will hold the heat better
than some of the others. To pack the
container with paper, crush single
sheets of newspaper between the
hands. Pack a layer at least four
Inches deep over the bottom of the
outside container, tramping it in or
pounding it in with heavy stick of
wood. Stand the container for the
cooking vessel, or the lining for the
nest, in the center of this layer and
pack more crushed papers about 1t as
solidly as possible. If other packing,
such as excelsior, hay, or cork dust,
is used, it should be packed in u simi-
lar way. Where an extra source of
heat is to be used, it Is much safer to
pack the fireless cooker with some
noninflammable material, such as as
bestos or mineral wool. A cheap and
easily obtained substitute is the
small cinders sifted frem coal ashes.
preferably those from soft coal. which
may be obtained at the boiler house
of any mill. The cinders from hard
coal burned in the kitchen range will
do, however. Experiments with this
material made by home-ecOnomics spe-
cialists of the department showed that
it Is very nearly as satisfactory as
crumpIed paper as n packing material.
If fireproof packing material is not
used n heavy pad of asbestos paper
should be put at the bottom of the
metal nest and a sheet or two of
asbestos paper should be placed be-
tween the lining of the nest and the
packing material. Whatever packing
material Is used. 1t should come to the
top of the cOntainer for the kettle, and
the box should lack about four inches
of being full. cushion or pad must
be provided to fill completely the space
between the top of the packing and
the cover of the box after the hot ket-
ties are put in place. This should be
made of some heavy goods, such as
denim. and stuffed with cotton, c-um-
pied paper, or excelsior. Hay may be
used but will be found more or less
odorOus.

DORFINGER BUILDING
 TO BE CONDEMNED
Fire and Building Committee Decides Structure Cannot Be Repaired for Ten Per Cent Or Less of Its Valuation.

The Dorfinger building will not be repaired, if the city council has its way, and the law says it has. Ate
 the city fire and Duildlng committee had made a thorough eXdm-haiion OI the fire-damaged structure yesterday it was decided that it would be impos sible to repair the building at an eX- pense not exceeding ten per cent of it's valuation. James Henderson, To- cal contractor, eXamined the building for the city and est.:Ei.. ed that il would be impossible to rePa.r it IoI much less than s445. MT. Henderson, in estimating the value of the build ing, placed it's original value of s4,- 700 and allowed three per cent for ap- preciation for each of the twelve years it has been standing, bringing the present value in the leighborhood of s2s00. and making the cost of re- pair far in excess of ten per cent.
 Action to condemn the building will probably be taken at a special meet ing of the council tomorrow night. Mir. Henderson also examined the Hughes block, adjoining the Dorfinger build ing, and estimated that the fire dam- age could easily be repaired for ten per cent of its value. ..--...

SCHOOL AT FORREST
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

When Miss Ruth Stewart, teacher al the Forrest Station school, ten miles west of Douglas, went to school this morning she found everything all right, except that the school house wasn't theree. It had burned up, or down. during the night, and only a pile of ashes marked the site of the former temple of knowledge.
 Just how the schoolhouse caught fire or at what hour it burned has not been learned. and probably never will be. It is the belief of some of the residents of the section that the fire was of mcendiary origin, though what could have been the object ot the perpetrator is not known. The nearest building to the school house is the section house, about 5G0 feet away. but the occupants did not sec or hear the fire.
 The school house consisted of one of the larger portable buildings in use last year in Douglas and was moved to Forrest only last September. The building and contents were valued at several hundred dollars, will no in surance. The enrolment was approx imately 35, all the children being of Mexican parentage except half a dozen.
