T%HE best way for the American house
wives to overcome present living condi-
tons is to organize their own strength
as the commission merchants have organized.
We know that competition practically has been
eliminated. A firm increases its prices with
the consent and cooperation Of the others in
the same line of trade. A dealer would not
dare increase his price on any one article if he
did not know that his competitors would do
the
We have heard recently that housewives
have formed leagues throughout the country to
protect their own interests. This is really
master stroke. What can be done by organized
effort is shown every day. For instance, during
the summer quotations on fresh peas were ad-
vanced daily for a number of days in success
sion-the advance being about % cents day
per bushel-until it came to the point where no
restaurant man dared to advance the price on
the bill of fare in proportion to the rise in the
market.
They came to an agreement to buy no moro
fresh peas until the dealers were more reason
able. The result was that two days later the
fresh peas could be bought for 81 per bushel
less. The same result can be accomplished by
organized effort on the part of housewives. If
they agree to boycott certain article, if only
for one week the price will drop The COM
mission merchant cannot afford to carry in
definitely any perishable commodity. If he
cannot get the price he asks, he must sell at a
reasonable price or lose it.
The American people are not ONLY eXtrava-
CANT, but extremely wasteful when it comes TO
the table The art of making dainty dishes
from left-overs. which the European house

There is no excuse for one crumb OF bread
ever being thrown away. Yesterdays rolls
can be SPRAYED with water and put into the
oyens-they will come out like perfectly fresh
rolls. and can be served just as they are, or
can be split and toasted.
The fat or dripping from meats should all
he strained and kept in jars, as 1t makes the
finest grease for frying. Most women buy lard
or butter for frying, not realizing that vege-
tables, fish, eggs or pancakes are better fried
in meat dripping than in butter. The same
women are probably throwing out enough Of
the natural fats to DO all their baking. Such
fats can be kept long time if strained or
put away in covered glass jars or crooks.
The soup pot, not the garbage pail should
receive all the scraps of meat and vegetables.
Also the bones. When joint has been roasted
or boiled and all the meat eaten off it, the
bones are still full of food, which gentle boiling
will bring out. The carcass of a chicken,
turkey or a duck should find its way to the
soup pot at once. To throw it out before all
the goodness has been extracted from the bones
by boiling is criminal waste.
Soups are the ideal beginning Of every din
ner. They are also the most economical, even
if meat and vegetables have TO be bought
specially for them. This is because they
quickly satisfy keen appetites, and those who
begin with them will not eat nearly so much
mat at the rest of the meal. In any large
family there should almost always be enough
bones, meat scraps and trimmings of vegetables
to keep daily supply Of soup, so the mother
will rarely have to call on the butcher for soup
meat or the grocer for soup vegetables.
And we must not forget croquettes, meat
balls and such dainties, in all of which scraps
can be utilized and which can be made deli
cious by little knowledge of the many herbs
and spices that can be used for seasoning.
Those latter are used in such small quantities
that they add scarcely at all TO the expense.
In buying vegetables many American women
are inclined to select the most expensive ones
and overlook others. which are much cheaper
but quite as good and nutritious.
Pumpkins and squashes, fer instance, are
not expensive and can be served in a variety
of ways. Broad beans too are nutritious and
cheap, so are chick peas. which in soups and
stews are delicious.

Every Cake Browns on This Griddle

"A cast aluminium griddle shows why 1t
n heats more rapidly than other griddles
and browns the cakes cooking around the outer
edges as quickly as those in the centre. Just
notice that curious wheel effect of ridges on
the under side These defect the heat from
the centre to the edge, so that it is equaized
over the entire surface of the griddle.
The tests given in the laboratory Of the
Tribune Institute made comparison of this
crdd!e with the ordinary smooth gridde that
heats more slowly and bakes better in the
centre than at the edges.
These tests proved that the great advantage
Of the Rapid Heating Griddle lies not so much
in the raYidity of its heating as in the even
ness. 1t required forty-fve seconds to melt a
lump of butter on a slower griddle, while
lrn1D of exactly the same size melted in thirty
seven seconds on the Rapid Heating Griddle.
In the cooking test the cakes cooked on the
Rapid Heating Griddle were ready TO turn IN
fifty seconds after being put on, and were
finished and well Drowned in two and three
Quarters minutes. The cakes at the edge
Drowned the same as those in the centre. This

preliminary heating of the grlddle.
In a second experiment, made after four
minutes total heating of the griddle, the
cakes were turned in half minute and finished
in one minute.
On the slower grdde these experiments
were duplicated as to time, with the result that
the cakes from this griddle were not nearly so
well Drowned. The ones at the edge were hard
" Drowned at all. On the completion of the
four-minute test the cakes were not only un-
Drowned, but were actually uncooked in the
centre.
All aluminium heats rapidly, therefore this
heavy cast aluminium makes an especially good
gridde. Another advantage is that griddle
made of this material need be creased only for
the first two or three times of use. The claim

A Gas Heater That Is Really an Open Fire

A rule the best that can be said Of a
~ gas heater is that it does throw out
certain amount of heat in a cold room
The trouble is that most of the tribe also throw
out an amount of smell that would put to
shame an automobile of the vintage of 1902.
Gas logs, asbestos CRATES ard all the rest
we have regarded them as a delusion and
snare, vainly attempting to masquerade as
open freplaces, and succeeding only in insult
ing the intelligence of all fire worshppers.
The strongest prejudice against gas heaters,
however, would melt somewhat under the cheer
full glow of the Radiantfire Heater. It throws
out heat more like that Of ar open fire than
anything We have ever seen outside of the real
fire. There is no odor at all, as all the by-prod-
ucts Of combustion are swept up the chimney
on the current of air that comes from the CRATE
The gas burners are so designed that the
combustion takes place within the porous lace
like fabric of the porcelain radiants. These,
when heated to incandescence, burn with a red
dish purple flame that is much hotter than the
green and blue flame attainable from ordinary
GAS burner construction off an intense radiant
heat.
This heat warns any object within scope
of its current but leaves the air outside rela-
lively cool and free from doors. In this 1t Is
precisely like an open wood or coal hre.
An electric fan placed on the side of the
heater was allowed to blow the air directly

NNE'S natural impulse upon looking over
new carpet sweeper is to say that 1t
may be a perfectly good sweeper, but
it cannot help bearing an uncommonly close
family resemblance to the remainder Of its

Yet every family, however large, can usually
boast at least one member who manages to
make a bigger impression on the world than the
others.

rear pot hole. This also was brought to the
boiling point by the heat carried over from the
front burner.
In this way one lighted burner did the work
of two, effectng considerable saving in fuel
and expense In ordinary use one would natu-
rally interchange the two saucepans, after
bringing the front one to a boil, so that the
liquid already boiling could be kept hot on the
rear of the stove. while the other was brought
more quickly to a boil over the burner.
The advantages of this stove top are many.
They give to the gas range what is practically
a coal range cooking top. 1t fits all modern gas
ranges, keeps the kitchen cool, equalizes the
heat and saves labor, because it is much easier
to keep clean than the open top of the gas
range.
Upon one of these solid tops it is possible to
cook from three to six articles at once on one
burner, and to keep whole meal hot until it
is ready TO serve.

given by the men who know better than any
one else the business of economical marketing.
They are managers of some Of the largest
hotels in the country. Their special business
is to plan daily menus with such care and
calculation that the returns shall show profit
instead Of a loss. Therefore they must know
how to plan and purchase wisely. In fact, this
is why they hold sundry very responsible jobs.
A hotel is only private house on large
scale. The principles that apply to the man
agement of one should apply equally well to
the other. The trouble has been that hotels are
managed by trained business men and the
majority of American households by unframed
women whose husbands make it a boast that
their wives don't have to know anything about
business.
AS it is necessary in these days of stress to
apply business methods to the management of
the household, we have sought helpful sugges-
tons from five of the best known hotel man.

The question is: How can the housewife
economize in her marketing so that she can best
meet the increased cost of food without dep
rivation to herself or her family?

ceedingly well, but it boasts a new single lever
brush adjustment by which the brush can be
raised or lowered to accommodate rugs and
carpets ranging from smooth, napless felt to
rugs with pile as deep as forest moss.
Another advantage is the presence of un-
usually thick rubber covered bumpers, which
are great furniture savers.
This sweeper is we'll constructed, well nm
ished and easy running machine, which moves
on four rubber-tired ball-bearing steel wheels.
The lever which controls the raising and lower
ing of the brush for low medium or short
mapped rugs or carpets can be moved by
slight pressure Of the toe, making 1t possible
for the housewife to adjust the brush as often
as she finds necessary.
The eleven-inch roller bristle brush is easily
removed for cleaning, and the contrlvance
which opens and shuts the metal dust pans is
even simpler.
This sweeper weighs six and three-quarters
pounds. 1t is very easy to operate, and is one
of the most efficient of its kind when it comes
to picking up DUST threads, lint, etc., from
carpets and floors.
