LOVING Silence.

Mr.. John OXenham, the novelist,
speaking recently at the City Temple,
London, on his visit to the western
front, said that the British spoke lit
tie about their hardships except
among themselves. A padre described
their reticence to the folks at home
as 'the most wonderful conspiracy of
loving silence the world has ever
known"
Mr.. Oxenham added that If by
wonderful stroke on our part, or by
an extraordinary default on the part
of the enemy, we had won this war
two years ago, it would have been
the very worst thing that could have
happened to us as nation. He felt
that, in spite of all the horrible suf-
ferings, we were not ready to win.
We hadn't learned our lesson, and he
was not sure if we had learned it
even now:

Make EireIess Cooker.

A tightly built box, an old trunk, a
galvanized-iron ash can, a candy
bucket, tin lard can, a lard tub, and
a butter firkin are some of the con-
tainers that have been used successful
ly in the construction of fireless cook
erS.
The inside container or nest which
holds the vessel of hot food may be
a 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 a 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 lining 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 it reaches the top of
the nest.
Make a collar, as shown in illustra-
ton, OF cardboard, sheet asbestos, or
wood to cover the exposed surface of
the insulating material. This collar
should fit tightly.
Make a cushion which when filled
with the packing will be at least four
inches thick and will fill completely
the space between the top Of the nest
and the lid Of the outside container.
1t should fit against the top tightly
enough to cause pressure when the lid
is closed.
The outside of the fireless cooker
can be made more attractive by stain
ing or painting it. The lid may be
held in place by screen-door hooks and
eyes. The cooker may be placed on
casters so that it can be easily moved.

FIRELESS COOKER
IS EASILY MADE
Used With Kerosene Stove as
Starter Kitchen Is Made
More HabitabIe.
time AND FUEL ARE SAVED
Device is Warm Weather Comfort in
Any Household-Food May Be
Left Cooking Without Any
Worry as to the Results.

The fire1ess cooker is a warm wealth
er comfort in most any kitchen. Used
In conjunction with { kerosene stove,
it means not only economy in fuel but
it 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
it 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 stews 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 a 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 tight lid,
is quickly placed in the cooker where
the cooking continues. The cooker is
so constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking it is neces-
Sary to place in the cooker under the
cooking vessel a hot radiator A soap
stone is the best radiator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores at
so cents. A stove lid, brick, or disk
made of concrete, heated and placed in
the cooker, may serve as the radiator.

ment that between September 18th

with diseases due to prostitution,
than it had cost to maintain the en-
tire Cantonment at Camp Dix, con

that the first step to save the gov
eminent from this appalling loss
must be the SUPPRESSION OF
PROSTITUTION.

fit to avail ourselves so far of the
offers of assistance by the War De
partment. We have hoped and
still hope that the city authorities
will not much longer occupy the
attitude of open antagonism to the
determined policy of the War De-
partment in this matter, and we
much prefer to cooperate with the
members of the Council in bring
ing about the desired reform tnan
to owe it to outside assistance.
Mr.. Keyser believes that the best
way to handle the eyils of prostitu
ton and gambling is to regulate
them. He has an undoub ted right
to his opinion. But the War De-
partment, charged with the tremcn
dous responsibility Of safeguarding
the moral and physical well being
of the millions of our soldiers, hav
ing at it's command the services of
countless experts, specialists and
scientists, who have devoted their
Hives to a study of this problem,
has unalterably determined upon a
policy of suppression and abolition
of prostitution. My friend will not,
am sure. quarrel with me if l Oh
Dose to side with the government.
Mr.. Keyser says that the vices
here are being suppressed and min
imized without any noise or fury
on the part Of the city authorities.
