~ EGINNING with this weeks menu

group of dishes featured each
week. The aim of this is to direct the
housewives attention to nourishing. in
extensive viands that may easily be
prepared for the family table, and at
the same time to help her maintain her

For the coming week group Of thick
soups and chowders has been selected.
SOME Of these are very similar to the

bread. a green salad and coffee, consti-
tuted the entire meal of many a French
family. even before the war. Soups of
this character are often made from
combination of vegetables alone. or. as

added.
The addition of small savory bone
j. an Improvement To any soup or chow
der. Now that meat is SO high in price
and the bone must be paid for as we'll
as the meat. the latter should be used
to give the rich meat favor that is so
desirable in any made dish.

best nrepared in the fireless cooker, but
when this utensi is used the directions
that accompany the individual make
should be closely followed.

The Stove That Cooks Without Fuel

ITO RECOMMEND the use of a "freless
stove" sounds as if we were anticipat
ing perpetual fuel famine. But this
is only a new name which has been given to
one type of our old friend the freless cooker.
1t is the familiar square case, with the cooking
wells, soapstone disks and aluminium cooking
utensils, which has made itself welcome sure
in so many households, and, after all, barring
the continued production of heat, it is really
'stove" rather than Cooker"
The value of the new Duplex Fireless Stove
lies in the efficiency of it's insulation; the
economy of space which gives an unusually
large cooking capacity; very deep wells, allow
ing an entire dinner to be cooked in tiers, and
the excellent construction which, given proper
care Of utensils, allows the cooking of an entire
dinner at one time without the minglng of
iiavors so often noted as q disadvantage of the
fireess cooker.
The Duplex Freless Stove is an oblong case
of green enamelled metal, thoroughly insulated,
with two wells or cooking compartments lined
with aluminium. In the cover is an automatic
steam vent that insures safety in handling the
stove, while the cover itself is provided with a
fastener which secures it so tightly that no
steam can escape except through the vent
Inc equipment tildI comes WIN Cnc stove
includes two or more soapstone disks, seven
and three quarter inches in diameter. Each
disc is bound with band of aluminium which
protects the edge. The utensils consist of the
disc LITTER aluminium kettle bottom or mat,
folding racks and cooking kettles of various
sizes.
AS in all tireless cookers, the heat is supplied
by the soapstone disks, which are brought to
the required temperature over gas, oil or
alcohol flame bed of Goals, and are then
placed in the wells of the cooker.
For boiling or stewing only the lower disk is
used For baking or roasting second disk is
placed above the dish containing the food.
The stove is usually mounted upon casters,
but steel legs which will raise it to conven-
lent height, may be bought and attached with
out difficulty.
In the heat retention tests given in The
Tribune Institute, twelve quarts of boiling
water, filling the compartment to capacity

When You Need a Low Light

g OMET1MES the dim light which is usually

1t is necessary to have light in a position
which is impossible with permanent fixture,
and even in bathrooms or dark halls portable
light is at times exceedingly convenient.
In a country house, where neither gas nor
electricity is available and it is necessary to
depend upon kerosene lamps, the "Glow" Night
Lamp, in addition to being a convenience, as
it is in an electrically lighted city house, is
almost a necessity.
1t has none of the disadvantages commonly at
tributed to kerosene lamps, because it is safe

$4,000 BRIDGE At
MON TEzUMA OVER
FLINT IS APPROVED
IMPROVEMENT OF DIXIE HIGH.
WAY TAKEN UP BY STATE HIGH
WAY COMMISSION AT MEETING
HELD INsATLANTA.

Americus motorists, and especially
those accustomed to travel between
this city and Macon, are we'll pleased
with the action of the State Highway
commission in approving the expendi-
ture of 100000 of federal funds in
TIE construction of bridge across
Flint river at Montezuma. This sum
is to be used in connection with an
equal amount appropriated by Macon
county, and the bridge to be built will
be one of the finest along the western
arm of the Dixie Highway. The pres
ent bridge at that point is considered
one of the weakest points in the high
way.
Altogether, the commission approved
bridge and highway projects requiring
the entire federal road appropriation
for Georgia, amounting to $257 900 in
the aggregate This sum is to be met,
dollar for dollar, in money, labor
ard material, by the counties whose
projects are approved, before the fed
erar money becomes available Com
ruission and county engineers are now
preparing the data to submit to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture for approval of the federal gov
eminent, which must also be obtained
The federal appropriation means,
heretofore a sum of $514,000 to be
spent under this apportionment,
The commission expects to hold an
other meeting in about month, when
the 1918 appropriation, available next
July, will be appropriated. Applica-
tions sufficient to consume the 1918
appropriation, which amounts to ap-
proximately 100000 are already on
file with the commission. This cir
cumstance, however, does not prohibit
other counties from filing projects for
the approval of the commission.

WAYCROSS GAS
PLANT SUSPENDS

WAYCRoSS, Ga, Jan. 25.-Judge T.
A. Parker, member Of the state fuel
board, and H. D. Wilson, manager of
the Consumers Gas & Coke Company,
of this city, have just returned from
Atlanta, where they went to confer
with DR.. Hardman with the view to
getting coal for the local gas plant,
which has been closed down since ear
ly Wednesday morning, and will re-
main closed until a supply Of gas coal
arrives. Hundreds OF households in
Waycross are without means of cook
ing, as a result of the failure of the
company to supply gas. Through the
help of the fuel administration, Mr..
Wilson states he has several cars OF
coal in transit, but due to the congest-
e1 transportation conditions, the date
when gas will be turned on again in
Waycross is uncertain. It is under
stood here that Albany, Americus and
Cordele gas plants are also badly in
need of coal.

PEACE PROPOSALS
WILL Be RENEWED
AUSTRIA AND GERMANY WILL
CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS ON
THE BASIS OF NO ANNEXATI0NS.
AND NO INDEMNITIES.

LONDON, Jan. 25.--Austria will con-
tinue peace negotiations with Russia
on basis of no annexations and no
indemnity, according to Vienna dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph,
quoting Count Czernin's address be-
fore the reichratch.
Count Czernin is also quoted as
saying:
"It is obvious to me that an ex-
change of views between America and
Austria-Hungary might form the start
ing point for conciliatory discussions
among all the states which have not
yet entered into peace negotiations.
Commenting on the fourteen points
in President Wilson's war aims, Count
Czernin, is quoted as saying Austria
Hungary and America are virtually in
agreement as to releasing great princi-
pies for new arrangements after the
war, but said Austria Hungary would
support Germany.
