A Blessing for the Hallroom Boy-or Cir

IEATLESS days are bad enough under
any circumstances. But what are you
going to do if you are an occupant Of
small room that boasts one lone gas jet for
lighting purposes and no possibility for heat
except from the small radiator or--in some
cases--from the supply pipe that up
through the room?
If there is electricity electric heater
is impossible. In fact, for most ballroom
jewellers it would be impossible anyway, be-
cause of the expense.
A gas heater of the usual blue flame or
luminous type is equally out of the question,
because these require special connection. Even
if they could be used from the lone gas jet the
heater would take all the gas, leaving none for
the light.
Just here is where Silver's Gas Light Heat
is a big help in small room. 1t is simply
eight-inch convex steel disc lined with ashes
tos and provided with a wire frame which sup
ports it above the gas jet. All you have to DO
is to light the gas and adjust this heater. There
is no more heat than that ordinarily gener-
ated by the gas flame, but. instead Of being
allowed to rise directly to the ceiling leaving
the lower part of the cold, it is DETECTED
that considerable warmth is obtained from
the ordinary lighting jet. And this is not ALL
for the heater in addition to warming a small
room, is planned to allow water to be heated
or light cooking to be done upon it's top.
In large room, like The Tribune Institute
laboratory, only little difference was made in

The odds and ends in the other box, having
gone into retirement accompanied by few

Voraclous young moths, proving that these
chests are entirely adequate to keep out moths
during the summer months, but that the moth

chance to run over and soak the 1oor--to say
nothing of dripping through the ceiling of the
fiat below.
Or how often have you expressed yourself
heatedly to the jantor the subject of the
people in the flat above-those careless people
who do not seem to have brains enough to re-
member that they own ice-box pan and that,
at stated intervals, that pan has to be emptied?
Fiat dwellers are never neighborly, but who
can say how many times diplomatic communi-
cations between the inhabitants of your par
tlcular rabbit warren have been broken off be-
cause of that omnipresent and pestiferous drip
pan?
But here is way of escape from all such
complications The Overflow Refrigerator
Alarm is an automatic device which fastens en-
the bottom of the refrigerator and connects
with small wooden box that holds the buzzer
and fashlight battery Below the ice box a
metal float is suspended by chain directly
above the drip pan, SO that the float comes
about an inch below the top. This is connected
with circuit breaker fastened to the bottom
Of the refrigerator. The circuit breaker is
connected by four and one-haf feet of flexible
wire with the battery box, which can be hung
either the wall or at the side of the refrieer-
ator
When the water in the pan is high enough to
buoy up the float that it begins bobbing
around on the surface the electric circuit is

N THE present crisis, when it is so
vital to conserve the wheat -four in
every possible way, oatmeal will be
found an excellent substitute Ground
with one Of the small hand mills, it gives
an oaten flour that is extremely palatable
and that can be used in number of deli
cious recipes.
Cooked oatmeal is also susceptible to
novel methods of service and in the menus
for the coming week these are made the
special feature. 1t must be remembered,
however, that when the rolled oats are
used shorter time will be required for
its cooking than when the regular bulk
oatmeal is employed. This is because the
former preparation has been exposed to
heat, while the latter is merely the raw
grain.
In cooking with oatmeal or oaten flour
less shortening will be required than in
the case OF wheat flour, owing to the fat
IN oatmeal. But additional baking now
der is necessary because the preparation
does not rise SO well as when wheat -four
Is used alone
Especial attention is directed to the oat
meal recipes following the menu service,
all OF which will be found extremely good.
The meat bill for the week is partcu-
larly low: a quarter of pound of salt
pork, one pound and a half of stewing
mutton and four pound piece of round
OF beef for pot roast being the only pur-
Schases. In the estimate for the prices,
however, 10 cents additional is allowed for
lardlng the roast with strips of fat pork,
which renders the meat better favored
and more juicy when cooked The latter,
however, is a matter of individual taste

A Toaster That Turns the Toast Itself

one that adds still higher degree of efficiency.
because it is provided with a contrivance which
turns each slice of toast over as it is finished
without any necessity for touching it either
with fingers or fork.

Model 65, looks much like any other toaster. =.
IS of the upright type and toasts two slices o..
bread at once. But it is so designed that the
lowering Of either one of the metal doors
throws into position a simple little rod which
forces outward the lower edge of the slice,
that It slides out on the door toasted side down
When the door is closed again the non-toaseI
side is next to the heat
After the toaster has warmed to its wS
brown and crisp slices can be produced at The
rate OF a slice a minute. 1t can be connected
to any lamp socket, and the cost of operation
at 10 cents per kilowatt hour is 5 Z cents an
hour.
At the top is a perforated plate which serves
as an extra heating surface for keeping the
slices warm after they are finished.

A Folding Chest That Is Inhospitable to
Moths

Unless one has sufficient wealth to put
all furs and woolen goods in cold stor-
age each spring, the question of their
safekeeping through the months when moths
are most active and enterprising is an annual
problem.
When there is large house, with plenty Of
closet room, one always has cedar chests and
moth-proof bags for the safekeeping of cloth
suits, furs and hannels. But in an apartment
where closets are diminutive and space is at a
premium, it certainly is a convenience to own
a moth discouraging chest that car be folded

In the view of the local steamship agents. the public need feel no undue aognxiety over securing accommodation on the last trip of the Nome passenger fleet. The list of the Victoria and Watson are practically full at present but it is pointed out that there are many who have secured reservations who may change their minds before the last sailings and there is no real reason for anticipating inconvenience or over croWding on either of the two vessels. It is also pointed out that many people have acquired the habit of making reservations on both boats anticipation of departing on the first one sailing south after their summer labors arc concluded. This practice results in many reservations being tied up until the last moment and also makes it appear that the acCOmOda- itons are few when in reality there are many unSold. The agents of both companies say there is always plenty of room at the end of the season when prospective passengers have made up their minds which vessel they are going to take. They also agree that much of the confusion and apprehen- sion and also the recurrent rumors that the boast are sold out" could he obviated if passengers would cease vations on both boats during the sum mer and holding them until the last possible moment.
