TRY This COOKER
DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARATION
OF KITCHEN UTENSlL.
With Small Expenditure Of Money
and Time This Most Useful APP
pliance Is at the Command
Of Any Housewife.

A freless cooker capable of giving
the home at slight expense, if direc-
tons prepared by the office of home
economics Of the department of agri-
culture are followed.
The outside of the cooker may be
tightly built wooden box. an old
trunk, a small barrel, a large butter or
lard tirkin or tin, or a large galvanized
iron bucket with clOSe-iitting cover.
In general, n well-built. conveniently
sized box is perhaps most satisfactory,
though the cookers entirely encaSed in
metal have the advantage of being fire
proof.
If box is TO be used, its size will
depend on the size of the cooking ket-
lie 10 be used in it and on whether
there are TO be one or two cOmpart-
men,s. II must be large enough 10
allow for at least four inches of pack
ing material all around the nest in
which the cooking kettle is 10 be
placed. For the sake Of cleanliness
and convenience the nest should be
lined with metal and should be tribe
larger than the cooking utensil. If az
extra source of heat, such as a hot
brick or plate, is To be used. metallic
lining for the nest is imperative. For
this purpose galvanized-irOn or other
metal bucket may be used or, better
still, a tinsmith can make q lining OF
| galvanized iron or zinc which can be
! provided with n rim TO cover the pack
! ing material. In case no hot stone or
| plate is TO be used in the cooker, the
! lining can be made of strong card
| board.
For the packing and insulating ma
terial a variety of substances may be
used. Asbestos and mineral wool are
| good and have the additional advan-
| tage that they do not burn. Ground
cork (such as is used in packing
Malaga grapes), hay, excelsior, Span
ish moss, wool. and crumpled paper
may also be used satisfactorily. or

CONCRETE GROWS IN FAVOR
Use Of That Material in House Con-
struction Is Becoming Popular
With All Glasses of Builders.

Since the advent of the concrete
block industry, some rapid steps have
been made in house construction. The
special facings which ii is possible to
apply TO the concrete blocks make then
a solution of almost any problem in
house building where something special
is desired in finish. BY the use Of white
cement in connection with suitable
coloring material almost any shade or
tint may be obtained and very close
imitation of highly expensive stone
may be built at q reasonable cost.
Marble, granite, sandstone and lime
stone may be initiated with such ex-
actness that there is no advantage
gained in the use of the true material
A house just put up in Watertown
is an example of the beautiful effect
which may be obtained by the use Of
special face concrete blocks applied to
the construction of the porch and Chin
ney Of frame house. The facing used
in this case is intended to initiate white
marble. This facing consists of a NOR
tar made of some brand of white
cement and marble chippings.-Boston

MEANS LOOKING INTO FUTURE
Expert Who Has Made a Study Of
City Planning Outlines Objects
Sought to Be Obtained.

Although wide interest in the sub
ject of city planning is manifest to-
day, both in Europe and America.
there appears 10 De uncertainty as 70
what it precisely is. According L. Il
distinguished authority whom Mr..
Lewis quotes: City planning simply
means getting ready for the future III
city growth. II is the guidance into
proper channels Of commUuity'S i'm
pulses toward Il larger and broader
life. On the face of il. il has 10 de-
with things physical-the laying our Of
streets and parks and rapid-tranSit
lines. Eut its real signicafince is far
deeper: proper city plan has pow
erful influence for good upon the men
tai and moral development Of the peo-
pie. 1t is the firm base for the build
ing of a healthy and happy com
munity."
Mr.. Lewis studies in turn. he incen-
ton and development Of this city plan
ming movement emphasizing the need
of intrusting its successful executive
TO "duly authorized city officials or a
special commissioner created for the
purpose" the correction of mistakes
and the general problems Of traEspor-
tation. In the delightful chapter. Car
den Cities" he declares that the gar

than to provide attractive homes for
those who live in or near large cities
or centers of industry. at is really

the inexpensive materials that can be
obtained easily. crumpled paper Is
probably the most satisfactory, since
1t is clean and odorless and. if proper
~ packed, will hold the heat better
than some of the others. To pack the
container with paper, crush single
sheets Of newspaper between the
hands. Pack a layer at least four
inches deep over the bottom of the
outside container, tramping it in or
pounding 1t in with a heavy stick Of
wood. Stand the cOntainer for the
cooking vessel, or the lining for the
nest, in the center of this layer and
pack more crushed papers about 1t as
solidly as possible. If other packing,
such as excelsior. hay, or cork dust,
is used, it should be packed in simi-
lar way. Where an extra source Of
heat is to be used, II is much safer to
pack the fireless cooker with some
noninflammable material, such as as
bestos or mineral wool. A cheap and
easily obtained substitute is the
small cinders sifted from coal ashes,
preferably those from soft coal, which
may be obtained at the boiler house
of any mill. The cinders from hard
coal burned In the kitchen range will
do. however. Experiments with this
material made by home-economics spe-
cialists of the department showed that
II is very nearly as satisfactory as
crumpled paper as a packing material.
If a fireproof packing material is not
used q heavy pad of asbestos paper
should be put at the bottom of the
metal nest and q sheet or two OF
asbestos paper should be placed be-
tween the lining of the nest and the
hacking material. Whatever packing
material is used, 1t should come to the
ton of the container for the kettle, and
the box should lack about four inches
of being full. A cushion or pad must
be provided to fill completely the space
between the top of the packing and
the cover of the box after the hot ket-
ties are put in place. This should be
made of some heavy goods, such as
denim. and stuffed with cotton, crum-
pled paper, or excelsior. Hay may be
used. but will be found more or less
odorous.

Common Sense Penal Treatment.

Dayton, O., used to treat its wOrkhouse
prisoners as most other cities treat
them-that is, put them in cell and
let them stay there in idleness, eating
poor food at the expense of the city
until their terms had expired. Under
the commission the wOrkhOuse has
been made clean and all the prisoners
given work in the open air. The wom-
an prisoners have been set to work
making towels and bed clothing. Male
prisoners are taken outdoors and used
for city work as day laborers. The re-
suit is that the city gets the benefit of
the prisoners work and the prisoner
gets the moral and physical advantage
Of outdoor exercise.-Exchange.

WANING Tree Life.

Do not forget that old trees starve
to death just as surely as young trees,
though by reason of greater bulk and
a far-reaching root system they do not
SO quickly show the need of food nor
SO quickly succumb. Stable manure
dug or plowed in 20 or more feet
around the tree will do as much good
as anything. Conifers that are
trimmed up from the bottom and the
soil raked clean or sown to grass right
up to the trunk generally undergo a
slow but sure loss of vigor. Soil should
be occasionally enriched and dug up
deeply and the needles always left for
q mulch.
