ECONOMY WITH GAS STOVE
Woman Tells How She Saved Money
by Making Plans Ahead for Her
Baking Day.

A woman has written In to the WON.
ans Home Companion about her gas
stove and she says:
"The idea Of telling other women
how to economic time and money in
the use Of my gas stove came to me
on hearing young housekeeper tell
about baking a pudding, or just one
own, which struck me as amazingly ex-
travagant," writes q woman In the
Woman's Home Companion.
when planning to have a baking
day with the oven, sit down the Gay
before and think out just what Is need.
ed for several meals ahead which must
be cooked. For instance. I place a
roast In a pan Just barely large
enough to hold 1t, thus economizing on
space as well. Then, If possible, I
cover the roast with a pan which can
be made to sit quite level, into which
put several potatoes; or, If this ar
rangement isn't practicable, I put the
potatoes on the CRATE. Beside the
roast 1 place small pudding dish con.
tanning bread pudding, on a small
asbestos mat beside the pudding dish
small pan Of biscuits. A vegetable
may sometimes be baked in a maple
with all these things as well.
"The following, all Of which have
tested, will be found good combinations
for any baking day:
"A meat loaf, covered, in a bread
pan: escalloped tomatoes in a pudding
dish; pan Of corn gems. Time about
an hour. Baked potatoes may be
crowded in almost always.
Roast chicken in small cake tin !;
sweet potatoes peeled and sliced, sea.

FEW REAL BOOK STORES HERE
Count ToIstoy Struck by Lack of OPP

Guilty in finding book stores in small

Injuries can be purchased, but the
seeking of a bookshop is often a very
hard quest. Even in New York 1t is
hard to find a real book store, where
the attendants know their authors and
can help one select the books that one
needs on any subject. There are
some, but none too many. They can
be counted on the fingers of ones
hands.
In smaller cities the task of finding
books is hopeless one. There are a
few stores where books are sold; but
what books? Novels mostly, the aver

with too many iN-conceived articles

in sets, richly bound, but cheaply pro-

When the Retreat was compelled To

secured OH North Twelfth Street. The
building was an old one when 1t was
tirSt occupied and equipped In 1888;
but. though an annex has been added.
the old homestead remains the main
hospital building. 1t has been stand
ing more than 40 years. and it's

emergency that brings tho Retreat
board before the public with n general
appeal for financial aid for tho first
time In tho hospitals forty years of
service to Richmond.
Writing in 1854. Mrs Jenkins de-
scribrs tho removal to the present
home:
Last year the building so long
loaned us was needed by it's owners.
and steps had to be taken immediately
to supply the want. An appeal TO our
citizens was generously responded to.
and at very low figures we secured an
old family mansion. Tho house hav-
ing been built nearly n century. with
its large, old-fashioncd rooms, is not
suited 10 our purpose, and we hope at
some future day TO alter it. but mean

thirteen rooms and three large beds.
