'FIRELESS GAS RANGE
A COOKERY WONDER
Mrs. Dusher Turns Ont Delicious Bread,
Pastry and Roast Meats at Bur-
gess Company Store.

Mrs Ada Irving Dusher, who this week
introduced domestic science lecture

instructive demonstration yesterday at

Gas Range. made by The Favoritc Stove

to say on the subject of using the Fire

ilnus bread. cakes and biscuits which she
turns out with as much ease as the ma
j"rity Of women put on their gloves.
The range Is. of course. not actually
ifirClcss as there is some little gas used
Ito operate ii, but the actual amount OF
gas Is reduced to minimum because
of tho insulated lining OF tho bake oven
in which there is an inch and n half Of
insulation which causes the oven TO OPP
crate after the system Of the firelcss
cooker. In other words tho housckccper
can put her bread into the oven and
while she Is busy about the house. sit
down to read or goes shopping the bread

biscuits can be prepared after the same
fashion. But although tho biscuits.
bread md cakes which arc turned out IN
this fashion arc remarkable, the meats
are even better. There Is a draft sys-
tenn for the oven Of the firclcss range
which makes it absolutely impossible for
the oven to lose any OF the moisturcs.
which go toward increasing tho tender
ness and juicincss of we'll cooked meat.

the great increase in the amount II

policyholders in dividends the great
sum of S22,40T.4l1. Since the beginning
OF its business in lS+3. these dividends

On inquir- ing some little time later how the quest for a suitable necklace was progressing, the wife confessed that, instead of squandering the money on herself she had secretly bought shares in her husbands company: The fact that the shares. declined quite a little after she made her pur- chase did not worry her very serious ly, as she had absolute faith in the ability of her husband to build up an extremely profitable enterprise. Her faith has since been justified, for the shares have advanced very sharply. But she has no intention of selling. She knows that her invest ment will be worth a great deal more by and by. She regards the whole thing as a drama of gripping interest, as vast play in the course of un- folding. It is no longer the money in

All wives of rich men are not chiefly interested in spending the money their husbands make. Some are as keenly interested as their hus- bands in the development of the fam fly business.
