The meat is greatly improved if handful

allow it to cool in the liquor in which it has

The King of the kitchenette

II ITCHENETTING in any place where
II electric current is available is delight
in itself, but any kitchenetter will
agree that the last touch of perfection in the
way of equipment would be little portable
electric oven that could draw the breath of life
from lamp socket and start busy bout of
baking at the turning Of switch.
This is why the Hotpoint Lamp Socket Oven
is likely to make itself indispensable in any
we'll regulated kitchenette.
1t is small, portable electric oven. made of
blued steel with brightly polished nickel trim

PRESSED CORNED BEEF

Pressed corned beef will be found delicious.
1t is just the thing to make sandwiches for
the school luncheon or the motor trip these
brisk autumn days. To prepare, take six
pounds of the brisket of corned beef, remove
the bones and tie it up tightly into compact
roll. Put in large kettle cover with cold
water, add the vegetables and seasoning
already mentioned and simmer gently until
tender. Let it cool in the water, then remove
TO large platter Set on top of the meat a
tin pie plate and put a heavy weight on the
plate, so that the meat will be under pressure.
Let stand over night and it is ready to
serve. Cold corned beef also lends itself to
number Of appetizing dishes and, as every
housekeeper knows, a piece of cooked meat in
the house helps out many home luncheon or
supper.
Corned beef hash (either Drowned in the
pan or baked, diced corned beef scrambled
with eggs or made into salad with either

1<HE first principle OF eftlclency Delng 10
attain the maximum result with the
u minimum effort, the Easy Vacuum
Motor Washer may be reckoned almost 100 per
cent efficient
Its simplicity. its ease in running and Its
lack of fuss or friction won it golden opinions
from the electrical engineer of the Tribune
Institute, who gave it part of its thorough
testing in our laboratory. But this might ali
be true and yet mean nothing from the point
OF view of the housewife, who looks first of all
to the cleanliness Of the clothes, and, above all,
desires a machine that will wash them thor
oughly without the usual wear and tear.
When the domestic science expert in charge
of the Institute added to her evidence on this
important point it became clear that this was
an uncommonly good washer. The clothes
were thoroughly cleansed, and the fimsiest
fabric remained uninjured.
From the outside it looks like any other
big, well made copper washing machine. 1t is
constructed entirely of metal, and is mounted
upon a three-lcgged steel frame, requiring
floor space two feet square. The body is
solid copper, tin-lined cylinder, with remov-
able one-piece cover.

beneath the tub and by means of betting,
drives the operating mechanism. If desired this
motor may be replaced by counter shaft and
pulley, making it possible to operate the wash
err from q gas engine or line shaft
The washer itself works on the vacuum or
suction principle. Two nickel-plated steel
plungers or vacuum cups are attached to an
upright in the centre of the cylinders. When
the machine is in motion these plungers move
up and down and shift position on each up
stroke, bringing every part Of the tub under
the plungers. The speed of the plungers IS
sixty strokes a minute, revolving on the up
stroke above the water.
The air contained in the cups forces the
soapy water through the fabrics on the down
stroke and creates on the up-strOke a strong
suction, which literally pulls the dirt out of the
meshes of the cloth.
This plunger equipment can be lifted out at
any time, freeing the whole interior of the tub
for wringing the clothes.
The wringe., in its galvanized malleable
iron frame, is mounted on the side Of the tub
Like the washer the wringer is one of the best
Of its kind, having steel ball bearings with in
closed gears. A convenient hand lever makes
it possible instantly to start stop or reverse
the Il-nch rubber rolls.

SELECTING AND PREPARING THE
MEAT

In the selection of piece of beef TO be
cured, the housewife has wide range from
which to choose. The rump and round will
possibly be found more meaty and consequent
~ considerably higher in price, but they are
rarely equal in favor to those known as the
brisket and navel portions, which contain
streaks Of both fat and lean. The meat when
cooked is not so dry and has far better flavor.
When the fresh meat arrives from the mar
ket wipe it off with damp cloth, then heat
a large handful of salt and rub it thoroughly
into the beef on all sides Have in readiness a
brine made in these proportions: Three quarts
Of cold water, one cupful of salt, half cup
full of brown sugar and ~ piece Of saltpetre
the size of hazelnut.
Boil the ingredients for a few moments and
when cold pour over the meat, which should
he put in an earthenware crock. Be sure that
the receptacle is large enough to hold the
meat easily and that the prepared brine fully
covers it.
Allow it to stand in a cold place where it
will not freeze and it will be ready to use in
six or seven days. This corned beef will be
found vast improvement over the best mar
ket corned beef and is very little trouble TO

operated may be disconnected without difficulty
and used to turn an ice cream freezer
This washer is very easy to operate, runs
quietly and apparently regards it as dis
grace to get out of order The washing and
wringing can be done separately or together,
as desired. The maximum capacity of the MAJ
chine is ten sheets, but the plungers may be
adjusted for loads Of varying size.
One valuable feature of this model is the
device which allows it to be equipped with
gas heater underneath. This makes it possible
to heat the water in the tub to any desired
temperature. Any woman who has struggled
with the problem of hot water on washday-
especially in an apartment house-will know
what this means. Also, any woman in her own
house will appreciate the hot weather value of
a self-heating washer.
The motor can be connected by means Of a
flexible cord to lamp socket The cost of
operation at 10 cents per klowatt hour is 2Ac
to 21ac per hour

Something Sammy Could Use in the
Field

IF YOU want to send gift to your own par
ticular soldier boy, and you know that
he is sweatered and mufled and mitted
and capped within an inch of his hfe-try
him with this little blue-fame stove
1t isn't any bigger than a small cup, and
the fuel it burns looks rather like Jumps of
Turkish delight, but on cold day in the
trenches the boy who could produce this little
stove from his kit would be an uncommonly
popular person.
1t is about the size and shape of short,
stout pint cup. The sides are pierced with
decorative openings, which serve to spread the
fumes Of the alcohol-soaked cubes burning in
the little inner cup. This inner cup also is
pierced into lace work on the top, so that the
fame gets plenty of air and burns clearly.
Three hinged arms-Or legs-can either be
extended so that the stove will support frying
pan or chafng dish, or folded close to the
sides Of the cup for carrying in kit bag or
grip.
When quick comfort is needed, drop couple
of the Theroz Fuel Cubes in the inner cup of
this stove and light them. These cubes are
about an inch square and are made of a soft,
spongy mass, which is saturated with alcohol.
The cube itself does not burn, but vapor gas
emanating from it combines with oxygen to
produce hot blue flame. This cube does not
liouefy while burning, and cannot explode. 1t
produces sufficient heat to boil water, percoate
coffee, make Welsh rabbit, fry potatoes or
do anything else for which quick, hot fire

An Electric Iron That Stays Hot on the
Bottom and Cool on the Top

~ NE electric iron is so much like another
electric iron that even the most thor
~ ough tests fail to discover any great
difference between the members of this closely
related family.
When we say that the Simplex Electric
Iron Model 1870 is graceful in line and pro-
portions, wel-baanced and convenient to ham
die. it sounds as If we were describing almost
any good electric iron.
The same thing would apply to the state
ment that it is made Of polished nickel-plated
steel and is equipped with six feet Of detach-
able flexible connection cord and has a sep
arabic lamp socket attachment.
But when we come to the heating element
the individuality OF this iron stands forth.
The upper side of the base Of the iron is
divided into concentric passageways, in which
are placed the radiant or coiled wires Of the
heating element. In this way tie heat pro-
duced is radiated directly against the metal
and so conducted to the iron surface. Very
little heat journeys upward, so that the top
of the iron and the handle keep surprisingly
cool.
In tests made in the Tribune Institute labor
atory TINS iron heated 10 oVV degrees rahreh-
heit in fourteen minutes. After the current
had been disconnected it maintained an iron
ing temperature above $50 degrees Fahrenheit
for nearly fifteen minutes.
The cost of operation at 10 cents per kilo-
watt hour is 5i4 cents per hour of continuous
current use.
