FlRELESs COOKER is HANDY
No Radiators Are Used in Some, While
In Others Iron or Soapstone
Is Employed.

ment of Agriculture)
Any woman who cannot afford to
buy factory-built fireless cooker can
make one with little expense. Home
demonstration agents of the United
States department Of agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges are
teaching women all over the country
how to make them. No radiators are
used in some homemade flreless cook
ers, while in others radiators OF iron
or soapstone are put in to supply extra
heat. In place Of the regulation type
Of radiator, some ingenious club wom-
en- in Alameda County, Cal, are using
fiat, waterworn rocks as substitute.
The stones were gathered from creek
Ordinary baling wire was wound
around the stone and made into han
die. Data has been kept by one Of
the women as to the length of time re-
quired to heat such stone as COM
pared to heating radiator OF soap
stone or iron. Her conclusion was
that the rocks heat as quickly as the
usual type of radiator and give as
satisfactory results.

~ NE-PIECE dresses serving the
" same purposes that suit-skirts
and blouses do are better described
by their newer name, all-day dresses.
1t tells their story of good service,
morning or afternoon. They have been
made in few very good styles, of
the same serviceable materials that
are used for suits, ana. they have
come to stay. The all-day dress and
the separate skirt and blouse make q
welcome variety in the apparel Of
active women and especially Of busi-
ness women. Worn under heavy coats
in midwinter they are warmer than
suits, and worn without a wrap when
the weather is mild they are less
burdensome. But leaving out these
practical considerations altogether,
they hold secure place in our regard
because they are dependable and Of

Nearly all these one-piece frOcks are

them often. AS an example of sim

prepared by the United States Depart

Nearly all women regard washing
as the hardest of the weekly house
hold tasks. Many who have plenty Of
strength for the work dread wash day
because when the task is once start
ed it cannot be put aside readily II
something comes up. Modern methods
of laundry reduce the time and
strength needed and save the clothes,

department Of agriculture.
Good Laundry Methods.
Clothes should be sorted accord
ing to the kind Of garment and the
amount of soil. Stains should be re-
moved, and the clothes soaked in cool
water, or If it is convenient, soap
badly soiled parts, roll up, just cover
with water and let them stand over
night.
A soap solution makes suds more
quickly than soap in the cake. 1t
also cleans more evenly, with less
wear to the material, than soap
rubbed on. A quantity for use as
needed can be made up at one time
by dissolving one cake of white soap
or two cups Of soap flakes, chips or
scraps, in three quarts Of hot water.
For blankets add two tablespoonful
of borax and one-fourth cupful am
:nonia.

II VERY scrap of linen is precious

Both are high priced and nothing IN
sight just now indicates that they will
be lower priced. TableclOths and
sheets wear out much faster In the
middle than about the edges and their
usefulness can be prolonged by making
them over or converting them into
other articles.
Take large tablecloth, for instance,
that has thin spots where stains have
been bleached or washed out. When

Ing worth while it can be converted
into a smaller cloth and into doiles
and center pieces. For a square lunch
cloth and these parts are cut into four
squares and these set together with n
strong band Of hand crochet or imi-
tation cluny lace. This makes a
smaller cloth In four sections crossed
by two bands of lace at right angles.
The edge is finished with narrow
hem and an edging of crochet or other
lace may be ADDED TO thlS.
Enough linen can be salyaged from
worn cloth to make the handy and
attractive breakfast or luncheon sets
that replace cloths so often. They
are more easily laundered and stay
clean longer than table cloths. A cir.
cular centerpiece and doilies In two
sizes-also circular-are cut from the
best parts of the cloth and hemmed in
very narrow hem about the edges
After hemming the edges, a narrow
crocheted edge makes a pretty finish

Girl With Broken Neck Lives.

Kirksville, Mo.-Nellie Henderson's
neck was broken when she was pinned
under her desk at school at Richmond.
Mo, 10 weeks ago, but she Is alive and
the probability Of her recovery seems
good. Miss Henderson is 16 years
old. In play her head was forced under
her desk as she sat behind it. She was
unable to extricate herself, and to help
her some of her schoolmates forced
her head still further under the desk.
AS she Strengthened up her head fell
over on her shoulder. For fiye weeks
her head was kept in place by means
OF a sling.

bing. Silks should be put through a
wringer with very loose rollers.
In hanging and drying have the
clothespins and line clean. Put SINH
lar clothes together and hang all
clothes wrong side out. Hang gar
ments by bands, belts, or seams. Dry
white cotton and linen clothes in the
sun, because sunlight whitens them.
Colored and woolen materials should
be dried in the shade. Lay knitted and
crocheted articles fiat and dry them
indoors. White silks should be rolled
in n heavy cloth and let stand at least
one-half hour before ironing.
Much Of the drudgery Is taken out
Of the ir0ning Of white cotton and lin
en- materials If the clothes are evenly
dampened and the irons are clean and
hot. Iron with the thread of the goods,
preferably with the lengthwise threads
until thoroughly dry. Iron as large
space at one time as possible and
iron first the parts which hang Off the
board when finished, and which would
dry out quickly.
For silks, woolens, and colored ma
terials medium hot iron Is best. Iron
on the wrong side, excepting colored
cotton and linen garments that need
a smooth surface to keep clean long
er. Silks and woolens may be covered
with q damp cheese cloth and ironed
or pressed on the right side with a hot
iron.
Special Points to Remember.
Remember that strong soap hardens
and shrinks woolens, yellows white
silks, and removes color in colored
materials. Rubbing wears all fabrics.

Sit erect. Have tubs and iron

Use portable tubs. FIJI
through piece of hose at
tached to the faucet or pump.
Empty through hole cut In bot
tom or In side near bottom.
Use n washing machine, IL
possible. 1t saves rubbing. A
good hand machine may be OBJ
tained at small cost.
Use n smooth, well-made wash
board. A jagged washboard
tears the clothes.
Use a wringer. 1t presses out
the water without straining the
flbers.
Have clean, well-kept irons. A
smooth clean iron makes for
good results.
Wash clothes frequently and
before they become too soiled.
1t saves your strength and the
clothes.
Save ironing by choosing sim
pie clothing and linen. Many
articles, including crepe, seer
sucker, and knitted garments,
may be pulled into shape instead
Of being ironed.

towels or wash cloths.
Wide sheets that have become worn

gether In a fiat seam. This puts the
unwo-n parts of the sheets at the mid
die. The raw edges are hemmed

serve for single bed and the worn
portion cut away.
Old sheets are relied upon to make
new coverings for ironing boards, as
the used ones become discolored. They
serve also, with old pillow cases, as
pressing cloths when woolen clothes
need freshening up. The garments
are pressed under dampened cloth
which is ironed until dry, as every
one knows, and the steam penetrating
wooden fabrics freshens them up as
nothing else Will.
Worn pillow cases are very useful
for protecting blouses, waists and chill
dren's dresses from dust when they
are kept hanging in closets. For light
cOlored and dainty garments provide
hangers of wire or wood. Cut hole
In the middle Of the end of an ole
pillow case to slip the hook on this
hanger through. After the waist ol
frock has been placed on the hangel
put the pillow case over 1t. This Il

water and naptha soap. After rub
bing, put in boiler of cold soapy water
and boil five minutes. Boiling helps
to sterllize and whiten the clothes.
Rinse until no dirt or soap comes out
into the water. Use warm. water in
the first rinsing so the soap will not
harden.
If clothes are dried in open air and
sunshine, bluing should not usually
be necessary; but if white clothes have
become very yellow or if they must
be dried indoors, bluing may be used
In the final water. 1t is better to make
dark bluing water and then add
enough to the final rinsing water to
bring the desired shade. Stir well.
Use less bluing for fine, soft materials
and linens and more for coarse thick
compound Of iron which will cause
rust spots If 1t comes in contact with
soap. Therefore 1t is necessary to
rinse out all soap before bluing.
The rolls of the wringer should be
set tight for cotton materials and
loose for linen, or linen can be
squeezed out in the hands. Hard
wrInging creases it badly. Fold but
tons in fiat to prevent tearing in the
wringer.
An excellent starch Is made by add
ing one cupful of water to from one to
four tablespoonfuls of starch, accord
ing to the stiffness desired. When the
paste is smooth add one-half table
spoonful Of borax, one-half teaspoonful
of paraffin or white fat and one quart
of boiling water. Boil 20 minutes

smooth. II a scum or Jumps form

clothes. Turn garments wrong side
out before starching and starch first
