you put the cover on. If it is an open dish you do not bother with cover. Then you put in whatever is to be cooked, and the chances are that you let it boil without covering.
 Now you have wasted several feet of gas that you get no good from. And in this time of war necessities, the fact that you pay for the gas does not help the coal famine. You burn just so much more coal that should be put into the bunkers of some ship to help feed our soldiers who are making the world safe for women and child ren.
 What kind of a dish do you use when boiling things on the stove? Do you use dish small at the bot tom and flaring at the top? If so you lose a considerable amount of gas. as we'll as burning out the dish.
 How to cut your gas bill and save fuel to Help Win the War.
 1-Use dish with bottom large enough to project over the blaze.
 2-Cover dish tightly.
 3-Bring to a boil, then turn gas low so it will be kept just boiling and little steam escaping. After it be. gins to boil it will cook no faster if it boils hard and the steam escapes Water boils at certain degree of heat and will only turn into steam when you try to force it higher. 4-Light the gas after your dish and food are all ready to set on blaze Follow the above directions anC you will save your own money or gas bills, and what is of more. i'm portance you will save coal to senf ships and food to our soldiers ir l France.
 Here's bit you can do in your owr kitchen.

 New companies and business houses. purely Turkish all of them, are spring ing up daily, and the government has seen fit to grant many of them priv

 On the other hand, Djavid Bey, the finance minister, has come back from Berlin with his chauvnistic ideas con- sderably chastened, the correspon- dent writes "Djavid had successfully negotiated a loan of 56,500.000 Turk ish pounds from the German govern ment, but obtained only 6,500,000 pounds in cash to pay for German pur- chases, the remaining 50,000,0O0 being in German treasury bonds.
 The Ottoman empire, says the cor respondent, will offer increased at fractions as a field for operations for foreign industry. One who accurate ly foresaw this, the writer adds, was Abram Elkus, the last American am- bassador to Turkey, who made every effort to make sure that share of the coming economic revival of Turkey should benefit America.
