that heating for a short while is sub
hcient. The baking is finished with
the retained heat. Needless to say,
this combination arrangement saves
the labor OF lifting stones and pans,
and no heat is lost, as when the ma
terial is carried from stove to fireless.
The cost is from SOS up, but the saw
ing in gas bills more than makes up
the difference between the cost Of
this type of stove and the ordinary
gas range.
The combination Of electric stove
and fireless cooker has the extra ad-
vantage OF an automatic timer. This
timer, by mechanical device, turns
off the electric current whenever de-
sired. Thus, the food is put in, the
timer set, and the housewife is re-
lieved OF all further responsibility.
There is one kind of electric cooker
which can be automatically turned
on at any time after the food is put in,
so that food for dinner may be pxs-
pared in the morning, the dial set "a

food will be ready for a s o'clock din

Uses Of Fireless Cookers.
The freless cooker is invaluable
| for any kind OF long, slow cooking.
With the passing of the coal or wood
range in most city kitchens, 1t has
become increasingly expensive to pre-
pare the foods which require long
periods OF cooking. With the freless,
this type of cooking is once more in
tensely practical. Then there is the
convenience of the cooker. Foods
may be prepared ahead Of time and
yet will be ready to serve hot, or at
most will require slight relocating.
Another advantage is the saving Of
attention when cooking foods that
would be apt to burn over direct
fame. Directions for using the cook
ers vary with each type, and time for
cooking varies. The directions given
by, the manufacturers are in most
cases absolutely reliable, for 1t Is part
Of their business to have them re-
liable. In general the directions are
to heat the food thoroughly, about
twenty minutes; heat the stones for
the same length Of time, and allow
the food to stay in the cooker six to
ten hours, If the simpler types Of
cookers are used. Breakfast cereal
can stay in over night. The follow
ing time table play be of some value

Fireless Cookers

Within the last two decades. the
age-old principle Of hreless cooking
has been popularized. The great brick
ovens OF our American and European
ancestors utilized this principle when
the oven was heated, then filled with
foods to be cooked in the retained
heat. The idea is very simple-trap
or retain the heat so that it may work
more efficiently. The average piece Of
cooking apparatus loses a great deal
of its heat through radiation. Any
hrcless apparatus has one of more
layers of heat retaining material be-
tween the inner chamber and the out
side, air. 1t is familiar fact that GER
tain materials, notably metals, carry
away or conduct heat, while other ma
terials, such as paper, wool. wood and
asbestos, do not have this property.
The first class we call conductors,
the second non-conductors.
Homemade Fireless Cooker.
A very primitive type of hreless
cooker may be made at home by any
amateur. Naturally it is not as salts
factory as the specially manufactured
devices, but 1t will work nicely for
simple foods, such as cereals and
dried fruits. Secure a wooden candy
bucket with a tight fitting lid Line
the sides and bottom of the bucket
with sheet asbestos. Set a pail with
tight fitting lid inside the bucket.
The pail should be about six inches
less in diameter than the bucket. Sur
round the pail closely with sheet as
bestos, then secure this inner cylinder
of asbestos with very strong glue or
metal fasteners. Pad the inner cylin-
der at the bottom till the pail
will just reach the top of the bucket.
Fit a circular sheet of asbestos on
the padding. The padding for the
bottom of the inner cylinder and for
the space between the cylinder and
the pail is made of wet newspapers
thoroughly pounded down with 4

hammer. Allow the padding to dry
for several days before using. Finish
the padding between the pail and the
inner cylinder with ring OF sheet
asbestos fitted down exactly. Line the
lid of the bucket with two sheets
OF asbestos tackled on, and fasten the
lid down with two hooks such as are
used for fastening screen doors.
A simple hreless cooker such as
described here is particularly good
for a summer camp, when one does
not want to invest any great sum OF
money, yet would like the eonven-
fence OF a cooker
Bought Fireless Cooker.
Most Of the bought fireless cookers,
even of the simplest type, carry the
heat-retaining idea one step further.
The cookers are made OF nonconduct-
ing walls, and in addition stone plates
are used either below or below and
above the food to be cooked. These
stone plates are heated separately at
the time the food is first heated. Some

type will retain heat we'll enough to
