The FireIess Cooker.

The freless cooker has come to stay.
It's usefulness is no longer a question,
but fact. 1t is one of the modern con-
veniences and, unlike many of them, it
does not keep running up bills after it
is installed. Buy it. and the cost is
ended. 1t does not get out of repair I'M
less greatly abused. 1t does save fuel
bills and labor. 1t cooks many things
better than they can be cooked in any
other way.
There are many kinds of freless cook
ers on the market. In choosing among
them one may select the kind best
adapted for the particular conditions it
is to meet, and the space in the kitchen
which it is to occupy. OF course a fac
tory made cooker is best, but any one
who cannot afford to buy one will find
it worth while to use a home made one
A person with only little mechanical
skill, by following the directions
which can be procured from the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington, can
make a cooker that will fulfill most of
the needs.-Woman's Home Compan-

Kissing the Black Stone.

AS well die Jew CT a Christian as
not make the pilgrimage to Mecca, said
Mohammed, and no obligation of Islam
is more piously discharged. 1t is be-
Iieved that the ritual connected with
the visit to the Ka'aba-the square
building''-and the kissing of the black
stone go back to days of idolatry, the
time of ignorance" before the new
faith bloomed.
The black stone, which measures
about six inches by eight, is believed to
have fallen from paradise. to have
been guarded during the deluge and
handed to Abraham by Gabriel when
the Ka'aba was built Certain parts of
the ceremonial-the throwing of stones
at the devil and the imitation Of Ha-
CARS distracted wanderings in the des-
ert-are supposed to have had s1gnifi-

An excellent remedy for the fly pest
is formaldehyde. The correct strength
may be secured by adding three tea
spoonfuls of the concentrated formal
dehyde solution to a pint of water.
The solution should be kept in such a
way that the flies can drink it. A good
way is to take an ordinary thin walled
tumbler and fill it partly full Of the So
luton. Place on a saucer or small
plate q piece Of white blOtting paper
and cut it to the size Of the dish. Then
place it over the glass and turn the
glass bottom up on~the dish. AS the
solution dries out of the saucer the
tumbler should be slightly raised up
so that the liquid will again flow over
the entire surface.
Another simple remedy TO keep flies
out of the house is by means OF an
odor unpleasant to flies. Any odor
pleasing to man is offensive to the fly
and will drive them away, as, for in
stance, oil Of lavender, diluted; gera-
mum, mignonette or hellOtrope.

The Sundial.

The sundial is an instrument Of great
antiquity, for it is referred to in the
Bible isaiah xxxviii, s., and it has
been estimated that the date Of this
sundial would be about 700 years be-
fore the beginning Of the Christian era.
The first sundial of which history dis
tinctly tells us is that Of the Chaldean
astronomer Berossus, who probably
lived about 800 B. G.
Then and for many years afterward
the art Of constructing sundials to suit
any place and situation was an impor-
tant branch of mathematical study.
The sundial as invented by this Be
rossus remained in use for many centu-
ries, four Of these having been found in
Italy in modern times. One which was
discovered at Tivoli in 1746 is believed
by some to have belonged to Cicero.

Automobile Radiators.

To assure the efficient operation and
long life of your automobile it is es-
sential that the radiator be kept clean
Every radiator has been designed for
the purpose of dissipating some Of the
heat from the engine to prevent it from
oyerheating. The radiator can only
accomplish this, advises the Popular
Science Monthly, when the radiator
cells are cleared of mud so that the
comparatively cool air can circulate
through it. Yet many are the cars
which are allowed to clog up with mud
and dirt until it almost takes a ham,
mer to knock them out. A good antidote
is powerful stream of water from a
hose. or where this may not be con-
venient a stiff brush or a broom will
assist in solving the cleaning problem.

Teeth Crittinq a Symptom.

When children grit their teeth, either
asleep or as habit when awake, it
is generally a sign that they have
adenoid growths back Of their noses
and need the attention Of physician
DR.. c. E. Benjamins tells in a journal
of Amsterdam of his experience with
1,544 cases Of adenoids, in which about
81 per cent of the children were teeth
critters, and in most of the cases the
gritting ceased when the adenoids
were removed Among 115 teeth grit
ters he examined for troubles other
than adenoids all but two were found
to have adenOidS.

The Niuht Table.

The night table is not as we'll known
in bedroom lore as it might be, | think.
1t is such a comfort to be able after
going to bed to read by the light on
the night table and to be able to
stretch out hand at midnight and
switch this same light on. On the
night table may be kept any of the lit
tie things which might in any posi-
bility be needed during the night-a
light, a clock, carafe Of drinking wa
