Hance's Silver-Clean Plate
Made by the Hsnee Manufacturing Company,
1922 Ryer Avenue, New York City

A few months ago we described in these
columns a small slver-cleaning plate which
produced wonderfully satisfactory results.
This is made by the same manufacturer and
is the same kind Of plate, only bigger.
The No-Rub Silver-Clean Plate is meant to
take care of small quantity Of silver at a
time. Hance's Silver-Clean Plate, which is six
inches square and Of heavy metal, is worked
by exactly the same principle Of electrolyss
but cleans a much larger quantity Of silver
at one time and lasts longer.
The Silver Clean Plate is put into salt and
soda solution. The pieces Of silver are TO be
completely immersed in this and at the same
time brought into contact with the plate. Any
tarnish will be removed within few seconds.
This device saves more muscular wear and
tear and more time than almost any Of the
smaller kitchen helps. Cleaning silver is one
o. those tedious JOBS which is always being
put off because something else seems more
important, and yet always looms up as some.
thing which has to be done.
Cleaning by electrolysis is clean, quick,
labor-saving method which does not wear away
the silver, because no rubbing is required.
Price, so cents.

Economy: Careful planning Keeps

Never, however, add salt TO the water,
as this is apt to tougher them. When
berries must be kept overnight turn
them out on a large platter as soon as
they are received from market, arrang-
ing so that they do not touch each
other; cover with a piece of paraffin
paper and set in a cold place.

and, as a change from the usual hot
potatoes, a potato salad. Prepare this
with the addition of few slices of
picked beet, minced chives and parsley.
Use the remainder of the roast chicken
as the basis Of the cream filling for the
patties on Tuesday, and the bones of
the fowl for the chicken soup on the
same day.

time only enough for immediate use. This is
why the small size glass churn is so useful to
the lover of good butter.
The Darcy churn is cleaned as easily as it is
operated. This is distinct advantage, be-
cause the favor as well as the healthfulness
of butter depends upon the most scrupulous
cleanliness, and churn that is not above re-
proach in this respect would better be given to
the ashcan.
The Darcy Glass Churn No. 80 has square
sided clear glass jar with rounded corners.
This is covered with a nickel-plated screw cap
upon which is mounted cast iron gear frame
finished in aluminium bronze. The crank
handle is made of wood, the dash rod is nickel
plated, and the dasher has four white maple

Darcy Glass Churn No. 80
Made by the Darcy Churn and Mfg. Co., Warne
and Carter Ave-, St. Louis

Five minutes of turning the crank will churn
two quarts of cream into a generous lump OF
fresh butter,-if you use the Darcy Glass
Churn No. 80.
The churn will hold two quarts, but it works
Just as we'll with a much smaller quantity of
cream. Whether much or little cream is used
the churning requires so little effort that the
churner has not time even to fear that her
wrist may ache if she keeps on.
The test given this churn in the Tribune In
stitute brought one and three-quarters pounds
of delicious butter from two quarts of cream.
This is almost too much unless the butter is to
be sailed or the family is large. Sweet butter
is one of the most tempting delicacies known
to man, but so perishable that unless it is used
within twenty-four hours the flavor deterio-
rates. Therefore, it is better to churD at a

moved. One expects to look out for
these necessary evils when eating fish
broiled, fried or baked, but in a made
dish, where it is, so to speak, only the
basis, every bone and particle of skin
should be removed.
Strawberries, which are now coming
pientifully into the market, may be
used more frequently. 1t will be found
an economical plan sometimes to divide
a box, using a portion for a strawberry
sauce, as in connection with the cot
tage pudding served on Friday, and re-
serving the remainder to use as a
garnish for cold dessert, like the rice
pudding for Saturdays luncheon. In
fact, ripe Strawberries will form a well
come addition to custard, blanc mango,
floating island, tapioca and all pud-
dings of a similar nature.
The maple parfait for Sunday is very
easily made, and Is particularly good IL
the maple favoring is liked. AS it re-
quires no stirring while freezing. a
regular ice cream freezer may be dis
pensed with and an ordinary pail, con-
tanning chopped ice and rock salt, used
instead. BE careful that the mould con-
tanning the parfait is made water
tight, so that the brine cannot possibly
enter.

"Pittsbws" Automatic Gas Water Heater
Made by tn e Pittsburg Water Heater Company,
Pittsbu rsh Penn, and Brooklyn, N. T.


I'm THE Tribune Institute pages, April p,
we described in detail the "Pittsburg
Il Bungalow Gas Water Heater, which
would supply cottage or bungalow with abun-
dant running hot water at any time and at
moments notice.
The "Pitts burg Automatic" is simply the big
brother of the Bungalow" heater. 1t works
on the same principle, the chief difference be-
ing that it is large enough to furnish regu-
lar house with hot water, in any quantity from
a teacupful TO bathtubful, by the mere turn
ing of faucet.
The heater is automatic in every sense OF
the word. 1t lights itself from pilot light,
puts itself out when the faucet is turned on,
and supplies abundant hot water at any time OF
the day or night.
This heater is designed to replace the boiler
and is connected directly with the water cr-
culating system. The black japanned cast iron
shell incases many feet of scientifically stag
gered" copper water coils
Below is a big battery of gas burners ar
ranged in a close group instead of the circle
that is employed to heat the coils of the Bun

fore it must have the more intense heat sup
piled by the thickly grouped burners.
The opening and closing of any hot water
faucet in the house opens and closes the auto
matte water and gas valves of the heater.
When the water has been heated to pre-
determined temperature, the thermostatic tenn
perature control automatically shuts off the
gas, and automatically turns it on again when
the water has cooled to 10 degrees below the
temperature at which the thermostat is set.
A small pilot light, which burns constantly, sets
the burners aAame the moment the gas valve
opens.

the modern house having bathroom, kitchen
and laundry to be furnished with constant
supply Of hot water, was tested thoroughly IN

TIME MEALS for the coming week

especial thought to that due
measure Of economy which every provi-
dent caterer desires to practise, but
also that as many Of the fresh spring
delicacies may be used as possible.
Heavy meat bills at this season oil
the year are best avoided. but the intro
duction of fish. eggs. fresh vegetables
and fruits prevents this from being any
real deprivation. Americans have long
been accused-and justly-of using too
much meat in their daily diet, and
with this commodity at its present high
prices the introduction of such dishes
as stuffed egg salad, some Of the cream
vegetable soups, vegetable oysters,
shirred eggs with Drowned butter, hsh
soufle, etc, will mean not only de-
cided saving In the table expenses, but
also better health for the family.

ing beverage, make it in the Marion Harl. Al
One-Cup Coffee Urn, which fits over the top
of the cup and needs only boiling water poured
through it to make coffee as good as can be
made in any pot.
In the case of the coffee pot, finely ground
coffee is placed in the inner tin plate ftering
cylinder, which is covered at the bottom with a
silver-plated brass wire cloth. At the top
removable distributing strainer disk fits closely
into the cylinder. The hot water is poured
upon this disk and filters through the coffee
below into the pot
A metal rod is fastened to the strainer disk,
and this may be used to remove the cylinder as
soon as the filtering process is complete thus
obtaining the fine aroma of filtered coffee, rath-
err than the more acrid flavor which is produced
by longer contact of water with the grounds.
After the cylinder is removed, the nickel-plated
conner cover is put on and the coffee is ready
to serve.
If the pot is scalded just before using, the
coffee will come to the table piping hot. In
the test water which had just stopped boiling
when poured on registered 40 degrees F. at
the end of four minutes, when the filtering
process was finished
The Marion Harland One-Cup Urn works on
the same principle as the coffee pot. 1t has
the little wire cloth strainer in which the fine
ground coffee is placed, and a distributing disk
above through which the water is poured. Set
it on top of your coffee cup, pour in water
enough to fill the cup, and by the time it has
all filtered through the coffee is made.
If you have small electric or alcohol ket-
tie that keeps water boiling on the breakfast
table, it is possible to have each cup of coffee
fresh and perfect, with the maximum of del
icate aroma and the minimum of tannin. II

All cook books are insistent upon the question

other gratable commodities.
Unquestionably, the cook books are righth
cause much better results are produced
grating these things than by chopplng then.
Nevertheless, they often go migrated, becaus
fingers are likely to come in contact with the
crater and eyes and noses are sure to suief
torments while such energetic vegetables Is
horse radish and onions are undergoing the
grating process.
But the Enterprise Crater makes the work
easy and comfortable that all temptation
disregard the cook books is removed Fingers
are saved and eyes are not nearly so tearful
as with the old style crater. The substance
