numberless steps by doing away with the ne

necessary to drain vegetables, macaroni or any
thing that requires draining. 1t is necessary
only to place the vegetable, coarse cereal, soup

it is necessary to have double boiler for small
quantities of foods that should be kept from

placed inside the perforated container and used
exactly like an ordinary double boiler.
The perforated containet has wire legs and
a series of projections that fit into the rests
on the inside of the outer pail This device
makes it possible to raise the container with
the cover attached and keep it at the desired
height. so that whatever is cooked may be
drained and kept warm at the same time. By
this device also the cooking process may be
DELAYED at any moment and resumed when
necessary.
In the tests given in the Tribune Institute
a delicious clear soup was made by placing the
meat and vegetables in the perforated con-
tainer and then simmering as usual. For
cooking whole bunch of asparagus without

Universal Butter Churn and Cream Whip
Made by Lander,, Frary & Clark, New Britain,
Conn

In every cream-loving family dabs of cream
are often left, and unless there is cook who
knows how to utilize sour cream they are often
wasted But with this little churn it is
possible to utilize every drop of superfuous
cream in making the coveted delicacy we call
sweet butter, which must be made in small
quantities, because it will not keep.
In the test given in the Tribune Institute
laboratory nine ounces of butter were made
from lIa pints of cream with the aid of
this convenient little churn. 1t took only fif-
teen minutes to turn out the finished pat of
sweet butter, which, by the way, was washed
in the churn by putting in cold water once or
twice.

care must be taken TO churn sufficiently large

Lightning Potato Slicer
Made by Landers, Frary & Clark, New Britain,
Conn

Nearly every one enjoys the crisp delicacy
of Saratoga potatoes, but in most families they
are served only at rare intervals, because of
the long time required to prepare them with
an ordinary slicer.
Therefore, real boon to the housewife was
produced when an inventive mind saw the pos
sibility of a slicer which not only cuts deli
cately thin slices of potato without wasting
scrap, but mercifully spares the fingers from
any possibility of injury during its amazingly
swift work.
It is we'll named the Lightning Potato
Slicer," because the turning of the handle
slices the potato so swiftly that the paper-thn
slices literally fly from its surface. 1t re
qures only few minutes to prepare Saratoga
potatoes enough to supply large family The

~ a dinner warm while she is serving an

this end, such as warming ovens, warming

but unquestionably the most convenient is the
