Soapstone disks will increase the

II you made your flreless according to
directions, you can safely use the disks.
Heat them very hot, but do not let
them get red hot, for fear Of cracking.
With one below and one on top Of the
cooking vessel you will be able to roast
meat or even to bake bread or pud-
dings. Without the disks your fireless

food-cereals, beans, pot roasts, stews.

ALLIES BLOCK FLANDERS DRIVE.
Australians Break Through for 500
Yard Advance Near Anere.


London, May 7..Correspondents in
France state that the British gun fire
in Flanders during the last three days
has completely prevented any enemy
movement on the British lines, while
the French prevented any attack,
which was undoubtedly being pre-
pared, on their front by attacking
first
Sunday night the irrepressible Aus
tralians gave the Germans west and
southwest of Morlancourt, between the
Ancre and Somme rivers, another
drubbing and advanced the entente
line to depth of 500 yards along a
front Of 1000 yards.
This operation was continuation
of one started Saturday night south
west of Morlancourt. That time the
Australians drove In against the en-
emy and smashed them back TOO yards
along front Of 1900 yards.
The Canadians have appeared in the
Arras sector, further south than they
have been since the battles in this re-
gion began March 21. This part of the
line is important, as it defends Arras
to the southwest and includes locali-
ties such as Neuville Vitasse, Mercan-
tel and Boisleaux st. Mare, where
there have been bitter struggles since
the Germans launched their great Of

Make FIreIess Cooker.

A tightly built box, an old trunk, a
galvanized-iron ash can, candy
bucket, tin lard can, a lard tub, and
butter firkin are some Of the con-
tainers that have been used successful
ers.
The inside container or nest which
holds the vessel Of hot food may be
bucket Of agate, galvanized-iron or
tin. This nest must be deep enough to
hold the radiator and the vessel Of
food but not large enough to leave
much space, as the air space will cool
the food. The inside container must
have tight-fitting cover. and straight
sides are desirable.
The packing or insulation must be
some material which is poor con-
ductor of heat. The following ma
terials may be used and they should
be dry: Lint cotton, cotton-seed hulls,
wool, shredded newspaper, Spanish
moss, ground cork, hay, straw, and
excelsior.
Sheet asbestos one-eighth inch thick
and heavy cardboard have proved to
be the best lint6g for the outer con-
tainer and the wrapping for the nest.
Heavy wrapping paper or several
sheets Of newspaper may be used for
lining the outer 'cOntainer, but the nest
should be wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard to prevent the hot
stone scorching or burning the packing.
It Is well to have the outside con-
tainer large enough to permit four
inches Of packing below and around
the sides Of the nest. If a cooker Is
being made with two nests, six inches
of packing should be allowed between
the nests. Pack into the bottom Of the
lined outer container four inches Of
the packing. Place the nest or inside
container wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard and hold steady while
the packing Is put around tightly
and firmly until 1t reaches the top Of
the nest.
Make q collar, as shown in nlustra-
ton, Of cardboard, sheet asbestos, or
wood to cover the exposed surface Of
the insulating material. This collar
should at tightly.
Make a cushion which when filled
with the packing will be at least four
inches thick and will I'LL completely
the space between the top Of the nest
and the lid Of the outside container.
1t should At against the top tightly
enough to cause pressure when the lid
IL closed.
The outside Of the fireless cooker
can be made more attractive by STAIN
ing 0r Daintfn1 IT. The lid NAV be
held in place by screen-door hooks and
eyes. The cooker may be placed on
casters so that 1t can be easily moved.

MODERATE DRINKING lMPAIRs
ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH
COLORS.

"New experiments on the effect of
alcohol upon vision by DIR. Hugo
Schultz of the archaeological insti-
tute in the University Of Griefswald.
were recently reported In L'Abstin-
ence," says Emma L. Frausvean in the
American Issue. 1.-THE ability Of men
to distinguish between red and green
after taking alcohol and caffeine, was
tested upon seven persons. Control ex-
periments were of course made upon
other subjects who had taken neither
alcohol nor caffeine.
''The alcohol experiments were made
with light beer, with Rhine wine con-
tanning little alcohol, and with brandy
and champagne. The quantities used
were: $50 &C. of beer, 100 of wine,
100 of champagne, 20 Of brandy. The
quantity of alcohol taken in each ex-
pertinent was therefore little less
than 10 &C. In most cases the absorp-
ton of the alcoholic liquor caused,
clearly appreciable diminution of the
ability to distinguish red and green.
This diminution was stronger for red
than for green.
"Beer produces the most noticeable
effects. The bitterness of the hops
contained in the beer was thought to
contribute to this.
1.-THE influence of caffeine is totally
different. After taking coffee the abil-
ity to distinguish light red and deep
red. light green and deep green was
clearly strengthened.
"The experiments show clearly how
even the moderate use of alcoholic
liquors may be dangerous for occupa-
tions in which 1t is very important to
clearly distinguish colors."

London, May 6.-Foreign Secretary

that no peace offers had been made
recently by the enemy. He added:
There is no representative of neu-
trail nation in this country who has
made tentative or informal sugges-
tions of peace negotiations Ger
many's peace emissary, according to
the Daily Mail, has been busily work
ing here, but has made no progress in
any direction. There is reason to be-

who has been reported to be Dutch
financier, returns to Germany to re-
port that there is nothing doing.
A Central News dispatch from The
Hague says. the Dutch intermediary
is reported to be Jonkheer Colyn, for
mer minister of war.
The proposals made by Jonkheer
Colyn, the dispatch from The Hague
reports, are said there to have been
as follows:

in the west.
2Restoration of Belgium.
3-Alsace-Lorraine to be autono-

4EThe status in the east to remain

5-Austria to make certain conces-

More Habitable.
TINE AND FUEL ARE SAVED
Device 10 Warm Weather Comfort In
Any HousehoId-Food May Be
Left Cooking Without Any
Worry ~ to the Results.

The fireless cooker Is q warm wealth
er comfort in most any kitchen. Used
In conjunction with kerosene stove.
It means not only economy in fuel but
1t makes the kitchen a more habit
able place when the warm days come.
Fireless cookers are now being made
and used in hundreds of homes in
town and country. What is more pleas
ing to the housekeeper than to put
her dinner in the fireless cooker before
she goes to town or market and to find
1t ready for serving when she returns? :?
Advantages Of Cooker.
The fireless cooker offers several
advantages. The first is economy Of
time, as the housekeeper may leave
the food cooking without worrying
about the result while she is engaged
in other household duties or while she
Is away from home. Some foods are
improved by long cooking at relatively
low temperature. The texture and
flavor Of tougher cuts Of meats, old.
tough fowl and ham are improved by
slow cooking. Cereals and dried le-
gumes and dried fruits are more pala-
table and wholesome when cooked for
a long time. Soups and stewss are
delicious when cooked in the, cooker.
Baking, however, cannot be done very
conveniently and satisfactorily In the
ordinary homemade fireless cooker.
Economy Of Fuel.
In some sections Of the country
economy Of fuel must be an important
consideration. The food for the cooker
may be started on wood or coal
range when the morning meal is being
prepared. The food to be cooked Is
first heated to boiling point on the
stove in the cooking vessel and then
this vessel, covered with q tight lid,
is quickly placed in the cooker where
the cooking continues. The cooker IL
90 constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking 1t Is neces-
sary to place In the cooker under the
cooking vessel hot radiator A soap
stone is the best radiator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores at
80 cents. A stove lid, brick, or disk
made Of concrete, heated and placed In
the cooker, may serve as the radiator.
