Do not~use too much water. This Is
extremely important. 1t requires a lot
of electricity to heat the extra water,

will do the cooking. For instance, in
boiling eggs, use only enough water to
cover the bottom of the vessel-gener-

steam does the cooking.

When placing roast in your oven,
see that the indicator registers the

been in for about ten minutes turn the
current off. Do not open the door. but
permit all the heat TO remain inside the
oven. Allow fifteen minutes to the

ELECTRIC COOKERY MADE
EASY.

The woman who cooks with an cleo
trio range for the first time should re-
ceiye careful instructions as to how to
use It for cooking by electricity and
cooking by coal or gas are two widely
different arts. The Electrical Exvperi-
menter obtained from a manufactures
OF electric ranges the following sugges-
tions which it calls excellent and says
are applicable to almost any type OF
electric range:
In boiling operations bring liquids to
a boil on full heat. Then switch to low
This cuts down the current consump-
ton by hree-quarters- immense
saving. Low heat will keep the water
boiling.
Do not allow liquids to bubble-boil.
This is entirely unnecessary. BY so do
ing you are merely turning the water
of the liquid into steam where 1t is
wasted. No matter how much current
is applied the liquid can not be made
hotter than the boiling point.
Many housewives believe that the
food is not cooking unless the water
Is bubbling furiously. This is a mis-
take. If the water is steaming 1t iH
hot enough to do the work and current
is saved.
Turn current entirely of about ten
minutes before through boiling. The
heat stored IN the unit will keep the
liquid at the boiling temperature for
the remainder Of the cooking operation.

A DIDACTIC POEM no DEBORAH.

Deborah, dear, when you are old,
Tired and gray, with pallid brow,
Where will you pit the blue and gold
And radiant rose that tint you now!
You are so fair, so gay. 80 sweet;
How can bear to watch you grow,
Knowing that soon those twinkling feet
Must go the ways all children go.
Deborah, put the blue and gold
And rosy beauty that is you
Into your heart, that IL may hold
Beauty to last your whole life through,
Then, though the world be tossed and
torn.
Grayer than ashes, and as sad,
lorn,
Deborah, dear, you shall be glad.

Altered War Words.

London Chronicle: An examination
Of modern military terms reveals the
fact that very few Of them possess the
meaning originally assigned to them.
Munitions. for example. in ancient
times signified not only the materials
of warfare. but also the fixed defenses
of an army. Thus the translators of
the authorized version of the Bible use
the phrase munitions Of rocks" to
translate 'impregnable rock fortress
ses," and the defending army Ia charg-
ed to keep the munitions" when the
meaning is guard the fortress" Car
riaEe is another word with changed
meaning. In Acts appears the phrase,
I'VE took up our carriages. 1t is one
Greek word meaning having packed
up" and the Geneva version (1557)
has I'VE trussed up our fardels." IE

THE AUTOMOBILE STORAGE
BATTERY.

1t is interesting to note some
of the very important jobs that
are done by storage batteries.
Submarine boats when sub
merged are operated by storage
batteries. The telephone and
telegraph systems Of the coun-
try derive their energy from
storage batteries. The RELIABLE
ity OF the electric lighting SER
vice lin a great many large cities
depends upon storage batteries.
The signals which guard and
guide railway trains are oper-
ated by storage batteries. These
are but a few of the very impor-
tant tasks that depend for their
successful operation, upon that
most reliable apprenticeship
storage battery.
To The Electric Storage Bat
terry Company, of Philadelphia,
is due the credit for the perfec-
ton of numerous types of bat
teries that are used for various
purposes. 1t is the oldest and
largest storage battery manu-
facturer in the country. This
Company has for years supplied
batteries for the operation of
submarines in the United States
Navy, and today majority of
our submarines are operated
from exide batteries of the same
design as are being used for gas
car starting and for electric We
hicle propulsion. The dependa-
bility that must be placed upon
a battery for submarine service
indicates the reliability that can
be placed on exide batteries for
the use Of either gas or electric
cars.
The special type of cover with
which exide starting batteries
are equipped has also been
adopted by the engineers of the
United States Navy. This cover
is made with a non-flooding fill
ing plug which automatically
CONTROLS filling a cell to exactly
the proper level, as we'll as over
coming stopping and spilling of
electrolyte.
The exide battery was the
first successful automobile start
ing battery placed upon the mar
ket. It's use dates to 1912 since
which time over 100000 exide
starting and lighting batteries
have been used.
Exide battery service has been
extended SO as to promptly and
efficiently serve exide battery
users throughout the country.
In order to best serve automo-
bile users in Redwood Falls an
eXide battery service station is
located at The Stensvad Garage
which is equipped with every
facility for giving prompt and
reliable battery service. A stock
of exide automobile batteries and
parts is on hand and every eff
fort is made to intelligently and
|courteousiy serve patrons. Exide
batteries are used as standard
equipment on many Of the lead
ing makes Of automobiles. Spec
ial types have been designed to
fit other cars so that it is pos
sible to secdre an exide battery
to replace of any other make
used in any car.-(Advt.)

WAsPs HURT RIPENING FRUIT
Insects Do Considerable Injury by
Eating Through Skin to Get Out
the Fruit Juices.

The wasps known as hornets and
yellow Jackets do considerable harm to
rlpening fruit by eating through the
skin. in order to suck out the fruit
Juices. Much of this harm Is attrlb-
uted to bees, but, In almost all cases,
when bees are feeding on the exuding
juices they are frequenting holes made
by other insects.
These wasps nest in the ground or
in old trees. If the nest can be dis
covered, which usually means watch
ing the insects when they fly home, the
entire colony can be quickly exter-
minated. A gallon jug, quarter-hlled
with water and placed next to the nest,
Is all that Is needed. A wasp Will
emerge from the nest opening, per-
ceive the Jug, and fly angrily at 1t.
The hollow sound Of Its buzzing, echo
Ing from the jug, will make 1t enter,
when 1t falls into the water.
Wasps are able to communicate with
each other and the imprisoned wasp
possibly calls to its sisters. At any
rate, the colony, one by one, IN the
course of the day, will find its way into
the Jug. The system IL perhaps easier
than the distribution Of poison on food
for the wasps. If the latter method
should be tried little paris green or
white arsenic may be distributed on
minced meat and scattered where the
wasps will find 1t.
