TIME fireless cooker possesses two undis-
puted advantages in the eyes of every
modern housekeeper 1t involves far
less work than any other method Of cooking.
and it is much cheaper. Suppementing these
most desirable qualities the further ad-
vantages of better favor in many cases.
"But," says Mrs. Housewife, "mere state
ments do not convince Show just
how it can accomplish all these things"'
Let us first consider the value of the cooker
in relation to the cost of living. Its use
Queer the cost of cooking nearly rs per cent,
or, in other words, it affects the kitchen fuel
bill TO that extent. Thus, with its cost easily
within the reach Of the average family, it soon
pays for itself.
In the saving of time and work spent in the
preparation Of meals the fireless cooker again
demonstrates Its worth In some cases the
raw, cold food is placed in the cooker with the
heated disks; in others, the food is prepared
for cooking, then put upon the coal, gas or oil
range and boiled few minutes; then it is
placed in the "well," and all cooking troubles
cease.
Thera is no necessity for further watching:
nor for aching backs or overstrung nerves re-
sultinz from bending a hot, steam
shrouded range; nor from fear that food will
boil dry, burn or scorch The freless cooker
does away with all this. After the food has
remained in it for the prescribed length Of
time It is ready to serve.
Best Of all. success Of freless cookery does
not necessitats memorizing many compli-
csted rules. The operation of the cooker is
simplicity itself The main point TO be borne
in mind Is that it is g heat retainer rather
than heat producer.
Considerable self-control will be required

ing machine relieves the housewife or servant
of all drudgery and hard work. The former
eliminates the constant walking back and forth
from the ironing board to the stove and the
overheating of the kitchen in summer.
The electric washing machine is obviously
a profitable investment both because of time
and labor saved and the decrease Of wear on
the clothes. In large families an electric
ironer may pay for itself inside of year.
When the electricity rate is low the family
cooking may be done an electric range
economically and a refrigerating unit installed
in the household icebox.
In the sewing room attaching tiny motor
to the sewing machine will convert a tedious
task into pleasure 1t is ready at all times
to turn the wheels, never tires and does away
with all the hard work of treading.

The second dial, therefore, reads hundred.
The third dial reads 5 tens or so. If there
