@ONsERV.ATIONi is the order of the day.
We are cutting down our allowance Of
food, limiting ourselves to a certain
specified amount Of fabrics for clothing, and
are doing our best to save fuel
Just at present the fuel situation is the most
pressing. We have grown used to the shortage
of wheat, meat, sugar and fats, and it has be-
come rather an exciting game for the house
wife to contrive dishes which require the mini
mum of these foods. We do not mind short,
scant skirts and jaunty little jackets, because
they chic as we'll as economical. But when
it comes to a shortage of coal in January, a
situation is created which is about as hard to
get used to as hanging.
But right here is where the fireless cooker
comes nobly to the aid of the housewife who
honestly wants to economize on coal-whether
in her range or in the power plant Of the
gas house. In other words, she is taking very
seriously to the idea of cooking food by stored
up heat rather than by that which must be
generated at the cost of constant fuel con-
sumption.
The principle Of fireless cooking is very
simple-nothing more than cooking food in
heavily insulated metal container by means of
the heat stored up in small metal or soapstone
disks called radiators. For anything that re-
quires long, slow cooking, or for cookery that
must be done without constant personal atten-
ton, the fireless cooker is invaluable Where
gas or electricity is used it also means great
economy of fuel The advantage is not so great
in kitchen which possesses an old-fashioned
coal range because simmering or slow baking
may be done quite as we'll with the slow coal
fire as with the fireless cooker, and the wastage
Of fuel is negligible.
There are three methods of using the freless
cooker First, the aluminium pot containing
the raw cold food may be placed in the "well"
with heated radiator Second, the food may
be boiled for short time and then, while still
boiling hot and in the heated container, be put
in the we'll without the hot disk. The third
method is a combination of the other two. That
is. the food is first boiled for few minutes
and is then placed in the we'll with one or two
heated radiators to finish.
The heat from the radiator, which is held in
the cooking compartment by the heavy insula-
ton of the alright outer case, penetrates the
food and cooks it thoroughly without danger of
driving out or burning. For most foods the
time of cooking is practically the same as that
required on the stove
One great advantage of the tlreless cooker

GETTING ROUND THE SUGAR SHORTAGE -

'faVagant sWeetening of our foods.
The natural fruit sugars; the sweet
ness that is inherent in corn and apples
and grains and certain vegetables, such
as carrots, is much more delicate and
delicious than the unrelieved sweetness
OF sucrose itself. But an appetite ac-
customed to three Jumps to the cup
can't taste the more delicate favors.
A vegetable chowder made in the
Institute recently was so sweet, from
the carrots alone. that extra salt had
to be added to balance the flavor. So
the first step in meeting the sugar
shortage is to realize that we are at
present far above normal. Cutting
down our sugar supply even one-half,
so tar from being hardship, would be
OF decided advantage to health and
would improve the quality of our foods
and the balance of our diet.
Some of the substitutes for sugar
are more expensive than sugar itself;
some are more economical; but, in
either case you are saving sugar for
those who need it more than you do.
The men in the trenches and the people
abroad who are living on stinted
ration and are subjected to cold and
privation and scanty clothing, need the
energy and heat yielded by sugar. They
need all of the fundamental, simple,
easily digested foods; whereas we, in
our comparative comfort, warmth, and
with a wide ration, can we'll afford to
substitute other foods for the wheat
and meat, the butter fats and sweets.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-13

Cereals may be sweetened and made
more delicious and better balanced by
the addition of dates, raisins and cur
rants in the cooking. If these are
chopped and added about fifteen min
utes before the cereal is done. no sugar
is necessary
One resourceful woman pours from
all her canned fruit the surplus juice
and serves this with her griddle cakes
in place of sugar. Honey and jellies
can be used in the same way.
With hot toast in the morning mar
malade or jam is delicious, and no butter
is needed if this be used-an item, with
butter SO to 60 cents pound.
The sweetening of the coffee and
tea is a harder problem. The maple or
brown sugar can be used, but maple,
OF course, is expensive. Here is the
place to use little of the white sugar.
If condensed milk is used, this, of
course, sweetens the coffee sufficiently,
as it contains about 40 per cent of
sugar.
In The Tribune Institute an expert
ment was made in sweetening one and
one-half cupsful of cranberries, cooked
with one-half cup of water, with diff
ferent substitutes. Maple sugar, brown
sugar, honey, corn (glucose) syrup and
molasses were all tried.
The cost of the maple syrup (six
tablespoonsfuD was cents; the brown
sugar (one-half cupfuD, 3 cents; the
honey (four tablespoonsfuD, z cents;
the glucose syrup (one-half cupfuD,

long as this is our idea Of war hard
carry very far. AS matter of fact,
rock candy or crystallized sugar, not
graduated, is considered great luxury
for the tea table or for coffee.
And after trying all these ways Of
"going round the end" of the sugar
shortage we can always ''buck the line"
Of the difficulty and come through the
centre with gain to ourselves if we
simply "go without" sugar at least half
of the time.
We are asked to cut down our indi-
vidual consumption of sugar to three
pounds month. Did you have any
idea you ate that much? Surely we can
stop eating candy, minimize the sugar
laden desserts, and use sugar in modera-
ton in the foods to which it is essential
for their general palatabihty.
After we have made this superhuman
effort we shall still be getting almost
pound month more than the English
man, two pounds more than the French
man, and two and quarter more than
the Italian. This Notwithstanding that
we shall have decreased our before the
war; ration more than one-half we are
accustomed to eight pounds month.
The little boy with both pockets,
mouth and hands bullying with candy
and doing out "a suck'' to his penniless
neighbor, really has not much on the
average American citizen when it comes
to his constitutional, God-given right to
put three Jumps of sugar in his coffee.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-13

is that the food values are all retained. There
is very little evaporation, therefore none Of the
flavor or essential qualities of the food are
dissipated during the cooking process. Its
value IS especially evidenced in the cooking of
tough cuts of meat, which are made tender and
juicy and retain every atom of the rich meat
flavor.
Another blessing that is bestowed by the
reless cooker on a family which uses it, is the
all-night cooking Of the breakfast cereal. Ex-
cept in the case of pre-cooked breakfast food''
all cereals are the better for long, slow cook
ing; with most Of them it is absolutely essen
tial both for flavor and digestbityy
1t would need to be devoted mother or a
phenomenally faithful cook who would rise in
the small hours of dark, cod.wnter morning
to put the breakfast cereal over the fire 1t
cannot cook all night over direct fire for fear
of burning, and it is never so good if cooked
the day before and warmed over for breakfast.
But food put into the we'll of fireless cook
er, with a comfortably hot radiator below it,
will simmer quietly all night long and at break
fast time-whether that be 6 o'clock or o'clock
is ready to be taken out piping hot and per-
fectly cooked, with that delicious creamy con-
sistency that is impossible with hasty boiling.
To the woman who must attend to her
cooking, fitting it in somehow with many other
tasks, the freless cooker is first Of all trouble
saver The containers which come with the
cooker are so fitted in that they either rest one
above the other in the wells fit in the
same level like wedges of pie whole dinner
may be prepared, put into the cooker, and then
the housewives responsibilities about that din
ner are at all end until it is time to put the food
on the table. Watching, stirring, basting, turn
ing adding water all unnecessary, and
there is no fear of burned or overdone dinner,
for food cooked to turn will keep hot for an
hour more in a fireless cooker without harm.
No special experience is needed to fire
less cooker-only average skill and common
sense.
Food may be roasted, baked, steamed, stewed
and boiled in these insulated wells. They are
prepared beforehand just as they would be for
the stove, and if the radiators are at the
proper temperature when put in, the cooking
will go merrily on.
The temperature of the radiators, however,
is important. The directions which come with
each cooker will serve as guide in this matter
as we'll as in the equally important details of
use. For instance, the housewife should know
in each case whether not the cover should

be on the cooking utensil; whether or not to
use water and if so how much; whether to use
or two radiators, and lastly, how close the
radiators should be to the food. Very careful
directions as to these matters are given and
little experience will do the rest.
AS a general rule one heated radiator is
placed at the bottom of the cooking compart-
ment when the foods are to be boiled or
steamed. If it is necessary to quicken the proc
ess two radiators may be used, one above and
one below the container. For baking or roast
ing, the cover is left off and radiators are al
ways placed above and below.
The radiators may be heated on any kind
of stove-over the direct fame if gas is used
and directly over the coats if used in connec-
ton with the coal range. It Is also practicable
to put the radiators directly into the fire pot
of the furnace when It is necessary to heat
them quickly and at the same time to econo-
mize fuel, but one precaution should be taken
when using kerosene stove for heating radia~
tors. If they are covered with an inverted
pan to concentrate the heat it will mean
saving of time and fuel and higher tempera-
ture.
The directions which come with the cooker
usually include table of temperatures for the
radiators required in cooking different foods.
The best way to determine this temperature
is to have radiator thermometer, but if one
of these is not at hand there are several tenn
perature tests which may be used. The best
one is the flour test. Sprinkle little flour on
the disk. If it turns Immediately to light
brown the temperature is right for baking
cake or bread. For baking pies it should turn
to golden brown; for roasting meat to dark
brown.
The radiators may be either metal or soap
stone. When soapstone disks are used they
should be kept in dry, warm place. Then when
they heated gradually there is no danger
of their breaking and the heating requires less
fuel than if they were left damp or cold. All
radiators should be dried thoroughly after
using.
The fuel required to heat the radiators need
not be wasted, for other things, such as
teakettle, a saucepan or any other cooking
utensil, can be placed on the disk and heated at
the same time. Another way to conserve fuel
is to put asbestos mat over the disk, which
considerably lessons the time needed for heat
ing.
Considerably less water is used for freless
cooking than is necessary when the same kind
of food is cooked on the stove. Fowls and
meats when roasted need no water at all in
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-13

3.4 cents, and the molasses (one-quar-
ter cupful), 1 Is cents, as compared
with white sugar (one-half cupful),
2 1-2 cents.
The cranberries sweetened with the
maple syrup were delicious. The brown
sugar and honey sweetened cranberries
were good, but the tasters all pro-
nounced against the corn syrup and the
molasses. However, if smaller amount
of molasses or glucose syrup is used and
part sugar, the flavor is improved and
some saving effected.
A sort of cranberry marmalade can
be made by cooking with one and one
half cupsful of cranberries, one cupful
OF raisins, one-quarter cupful of brown
or white sugar and one tablespoonful
of molasses This is delicious.
"Hooverizing" always means mixing
brains and time and trouble with your
food, in order to save either money or
certain materials that we are accus-
toned to using, and to substitute others.
This is the housewives contribution to
the war programme. We are by no
means ignoring the fact that saving
food is difficult task. It means eternal
thoughtfulness and vigilance.
One colored woman tearfully COM
planned that she had been obliged to
do something she never expected to
have to do, and after breathlessly await
ing a frightful tale of hard labor and
abuse, it developed that she had been
forced to buy rock candy to sweeten her
coffee. No sugar was to be had. AS
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-13

We would never have thought Of this
if it hadn't been for the war. Take an
account Of stock-housewives all. Count
noses in your family, total up your
monthly sugar bill, and see whether you
are getting your share, more or less.
And remember, all the candy, ice cream
sodas, cakes and other sweets that you
eat away from the table!
Here's to sugar conservation as a con-
tribution to the public health, as we'll as
to the needs of the warning nations!

the pan, and any food that is boiled requires
only one-half the amount of water that would
ordinarily be used in boiling.
Exhaustive tests of tireless cookers have
been made in The Tribune Institute, usually
by cooking twin meals, one on a gas stove and
the other in the fireless cooker, and then COM
pairing the amount of gas used and the quality
Of the foods after cooking. In every case the
advantage lay with the fireless cooker For
instance, if chickens were roasted, the one
taken out of the insulated we'll proved to be
browner, juicier and more tender than the one
roasted in the oven, and the gas consumption
was reduced by more than half in the case of
the fireless cooker
Soup stock made in the cooker required only
about half much gas as when cooked on the
stove, and the amount of the finished product
considerably larger.
But when it came to testing casserole dishes
the difference in gas consumption showed up
strkingly. The saving made possible by the
use of the freless cooker was over 200 per cent
Also the meat cooked was tenderer and more
palatable.
When beans were baked in the oven forty
five cubic feet of gas were required for the
entire period of cooking; in the fireless cooker
only five and one-half cubic feet of gas were
needed to heat the one radiator

Lieut.. Roberto de Violini, late OF the
Sixth Alpine regiment Of the Italian
army, now attached to the Italian con-
sulate at Chicago, is to be the speaker
before the members of the Associated
Advertising Clubs OF Iowa and local
business men at the loyalty banquet to
be held at the Y. NJ. c. A. wednesday
night as the closing feature OF the state
ad club convention.
Lieutenant de Volini's home Is in Mil
an. He gave up his business to enter
the service in July. 1915. He was
wounded in action in May, 1916, but re-
Joined his command after having been
in the hospital forty days. and took
part in the defense against the Aus
trian drive in July. During counter
attack in the advance lines on July %
he was struck in the face by rifle
ball, resulting in the lost Of his right
eye. He was in a Florence hospital
eight months, but again rejoined his
command, and in October, 1917, took
part in the Austrian advance before
Grappa, which resulted in then drive
being checked during the month fol-
lowing.
Because of his wound the italian gov
eminent transferred the lieutenant
from active war duty to the Italian
consular service, and sent him to this
country, that also he might carry 1taly's
message to the United States. and show
this countryahow Italy appreciates the
help American has given her and her
allies.
Lieutenant de violini win illustrate
his address with views taken along the
Austro- Italian front. Those who have
heard him pronounce his address a
stirring patriotic appeal for continu'
ance of the war to the end that an al.
| lied victory be decisive.

REGULATIONS Governing Draft For Navy
and Marines Issued.
The regulations under which the.
navy and the marine corps are to. be
supplied with men thru the draft OF
the selective service men have reached
the local exemption board. The publ
cation Of statements that "enlistments'
were to be allowed in the navy by reg
istered men has produced an entirely
erroneous understanding regarding the
facts
There are, to be three ways by which
men will be supplied both the navy
and marines. The first, and probably
| the one that will be most commonly
used, will be the drawing Of men for
the general service who will be taken
| from the run of the draft in the Sc.
quence Of their order numbers. There
will be special inductions of men into
! the navy and marines, these being men
who have special or technical qualif1ca-
| tinns individual inductions also will
be authorized. w
| The calls for men for the navy and
marines will be made and filled in ex-
actly the manned as calls for the army
are made and filled. wnen state head
quarters receive a general or special
call for the navy or marines it will
proceed to make its allotments by
counties, just the same as tho the men
were sent into the army. Credit is to
be given each draft board for the num-
Der Of men sent to the navy or marines
just the same as. tho the men were
sent into the army. Hereafter the calls
for men are to be designated: "a" for
army, N" for navy and IN" for mar
ines. Only men who can read, write
and speak English. and who are citi-
zens, will be accepted for the navy. Nc
conscientious DIRECTORS will be taken
The physical requirements Of the navy
are practically the same as for the
army Arm bands with the letters
"U. S. n" are to be supplied to selec.
tive service men taken for the navy
when they leave for training.

day figured out the quotas of the diff
ferent townships for the fourth liberty
loan. the subscriptions to which are to
be made in one day--4iday of this
week. Sept. 81, when it is expected that
the county's quota of $1,s1s,7oo will be
fully subscribed.
The quotas are based on the assessed
valuation of property in the various
townships. Marshalltown of course
must buy the greatest amount of bonds,
a total of $426, 500. State Center town
ship is second on the list with quota
of S11S,100: Greencastle township is
third. with s1o6,50O: and Logan fourth,
with 100000.
In figuring the quotas, on the as
sessed valuation, the same proportion
is allotted as in the last loan campaign.
In the figures of townships containing
incorporated towns, the allotments for
the towns are included in the township
quotas.
Quotas by Townships.
The assessed valuation OF property in
each township, including the city OF
Marshalltown, and the quotas for each,
are as follows:
