for Keeping the Cook Cool and Comfortable

During the summer months the fire
fortunate possessor, since it not only
reduces the time and fuel needed for
cooking the meals, but no heat is thrown
off into the kitchen atmosphere In
stead of having a sizzling hot oven going
an hour or two for the roast or the bak-
ing, two soapstones are heated over the
top medium gas burner for a period of
twenty minutes and then locked in
compartment of the freless, where all
the heat is confined and utilized to roast
the meat instead Of cooking the cooA.
Instead of lowering over a hot stove
to baste the meat or looking to see if
the cake is browning properly, you can
sit on the porch to shell peas or even
make a neighborly call or read while
the cooker does the work The fireless

If the fan and freless cooker are cap
tains of industry, then the pressure
cooker should be commissioned first
lieutenant. This apparatus is made of
cast aluminium in the form of the ia
miliar old iron kettle and is provided
with tight fitting cover upon which is
mounted a steam pressure gauge and
safety valve. The inside Of the cooker
is entirely smooth and contains wire
platform for the food. Cooking meats
and vegetables under pressure is sim
pie matter with this device and the
tougher and cheaper cuts of the former
can be reduced to tenderness by it's use
After the pressure is once attained it
can be maintained with very low gas
flame, thus economizing on fuel, ana
the safety valve automatically releases
the pressure when it approaches thirty
pounds, SO there is no danger involved.
This cooker is useful throughout the
year, and in the canning season it serves
as an excellent pressure Gamer OIL a
small scale. 1t has the advantage over
the washboiler of greatly shortening
the time of processing, reducing the
amount of heat escaping into the sur
rounding air and using considerably less
gas.
Another conserver of fuel and time is
the "Conservo" Steam Cooker, which is
in the form of rectangular oven, con-
tanning number of removable wire
shelves, while the bottom is closed and
serves as water pan. When set over
the gas flame the heat boils the water
in the pan and fills the compartment
with steam, which cooks the confined
foods. With proper selection it is pos
sibe to prepare whole meal at one
time in this apparatus, since meats, vege-
tables, custards, puddings, etc, can be
successfully cooked together. A tube

VOW many kitchens boast Of an
electric fan, and how many
rooms in the house need one so
much? The wise housekeeper by proper
selection of the equipment can do much
toward transferring the realm of the
cook from tropical regions to the tenn
perate zone, and that always means
greater efficiency
The first investment, where electricity
is available, should be a medium sized
electric fan, located in such position
that the air will be circulated and the
hot air in the top Of the room forced
out Of the upper part of the window
without the breeze directly striking on
the maid, her work or the stove. The
top of the kitchen cabinet is a promising
location for an electric fan. The Home
Sewing Motor with fan attachment
would answer the purpose in a small
kitchen and at other times could be used
IN the sewing room.

that they should always be crisp and
