Metal Lining for Nest for Fireless
Cooker

A. Rim TO cover packing material b.
Container for cooking kettle and hot
stone
the Office of home economics a 6-quart
kettle was filed with boiling water
and put into the cooker, the packing
of WHICH happened 70 he newspaper.
The temperature Of the water, which
was 212 degrees +. when put into the
cooker, was found TO be 172 degrees
f. after four hours had elapsed and
1856 degrees +. after eight hours had
elapsed. This shows the ACCESSIBILITY
of the common custom of allowing
food to remain undisturbed in the
cooker for at least six or eight hours,
or in some cases overnight. If soap
stone, hot brick. or other extra source
of heat is used, less time will be re-
CURED. Materials which are denser
than water (sugar sirup as used In
cooking dried fruiD. and therefore
can be heated to higher degree, will
keep up the temperature longer when
put into the cooker. Thus the density
of the food material, as well as the
amount and the length of time that
the apparatus retains the heat, must
be taken into consideration in deter
mining how long different materials
must be cooked in the cooker.
The recipes for dishes to be pre-
pared in the iireless cooker differ
somewhat from those for foods cooked
in the ordinary way, chiefly in the
amount of water or other liquids call
ed for Less liquid should be put into
the food to be prepared in an Ordi-
nary fireless cooker, since there is no
chance for water to evaporate. The
cook must be guided largely by expe-
rience in deciding how long the food
should be heated before being put into
the cooker and how long il should be
allowed 10 remain there.

Hinged cover of outside container,
laga grapes), hay, excelsior, Spanish
moss, wool, and crumpled paper may
also be used satisfactorily. OF the
inexpensive materials that can be OBJ
tanned easily, crumpled paper is prob
ably the most satisfactory, since it is
clean and odorless and, If properly
packed, will hold the heat better than
some of the others. To pack the con-
tainer with paper, crush single sheets
of newspaper between the hands. Pack
a layer at least inches deep over
the bottom of the outside container,
tramping it in or pounding it in with
a heavy stick of wood. Stand the con-
tainer for the cooking vessel, or the
lining for the nest in the center of
this layer and pack more crushed pa
pers about Ii as solidly as possible. If
other packing, such as excelsior, hay,
or cork dust, is used, it should be pack
ed in similar way. Where an extra
source of heat is to be used, it is
much safer to pack the fireless cooker
with some non-infiammable material,
such as asbestos 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
SPECIALISTS of the department of agri-
culture showed that it Is very nearly
as satisfactory as crumpled paper as
a packing material. If a fireproof
packing material is not used a heavy
pad of asbestos paper should be put at
the bottom of the METAL nest and a
sheet or two of asbestos paper should
be placed between the lining of the
nest and the packing material. What
ever packing material Is used, it

| than one claim to merit. The story was
written by one Of the more famous of

himself, still a power in literary Paris
It is a simple tale Of love and SELF
sacrifice and suffering brought by the
war into the lives Of folks of little
village True to it's title, while there
are many scenes Of the trenches and
open fighting, it is the woe that is
brought to matrons and maidens that
are left behind when the soldier boys
march away that is emphasized in the
action; it is shown withal how these
women of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief as they are, are buoyed up all
the time with love Of country and the
joy of doing their duty to keep it Free
And Sarah Bernhard is seen in "Mo-
Tiers of France" This greatest actress
of her generation shows time and again
in the play, by a gesture, a look, a
smile, a tear, some of that power that
brought her the admiration of the world
in days gone by. In the quiet peaceful
village in the chateau, in the field hos
pital, stark in its realism, in the base
hospital, searching thru the trenches
for her wounded son, the Bernhard
displays all Of her old art in ample
measure. And the whole company Of
players helps in presenting a notable
story.
The war scenes are authentic. Nine.
Bernhardt was herself in these
trenches. The incidents shown were
! Photographed with authority of the
French government and the aid Of it's

nature that makes kin the whole world
Of men and women is never lacking for
