All Of the raw cereals require thorough
cooking to render them palatable and
easy Of digestion, and even the quick
cooking oatmeals. are all the better for
at least an hour in the upper part Of
the double boiler.
In the menus for tho coming week a
cereal in some form appears three times
daily, and yet they are served in such
a diversity Of ways that one does not
tire of them. When q cereal Of some
course omit the potatoes, especially
Irish potatoes.
For the cereal ice cream toast any Of
the dry varieties until very crisp and
brown, and add to the cream of any de-
sired flavor, such as chocolate, vanilla
or maple, when almost frozen or. if
desired, the cereal may be busted over
tho frozen cream and served with q
sauce or sweetened whipped cream. In
making the frozen rice custard prepare
one and half cupsful Of rich boiled
custard and add three-quarters Of q
cupful Of boiled rice. Season to taste
with vanilla extract and fold in half a
pint Of sweetened whipped cream.
Freeze slowly as for ordinary ice cream.
Boiled pitted raisins may also be added.
The hominy cro0tons are very good

/ Of the regular cooking burners.
The weight Of the stove is 6
pounds 5 ounces, and it is 18 inches
high and 8 inches in diameter,
which makes it easily portable. An
other good point about the stove is
that it is easily lighted through q
small hole in the cylinder.
The stove, though small, is eff
cient. It is made of a few easily,
manufactured parts, so that it is,
sold cheaply, and yet presents neat

necessary to keep the air in health

quarters of cent an hour, with gas
at 81 thousand cubic feet, or a

Western Electric Portable Sew
ing Machine No. 4

.THIS is a first class modern
machine, with full set Of at
tachments, driven by a small
Universal electric motor with wide
range Of speed, controlled simply by
three positions Of the foot on the
treadle Of the rheostat. But there is
no treadle work, which is deemed by
many to be especially injurious to
women. The motor does the work
and charges you only half a cent an
hour for doing it. The operator has
only to guide the sewing. Another
special feature is the fact that this
is two-spool machine-there are no
bobbins to wind.
Portability"

Since the machine claims to be
portable, its size and weight are of
special interest. The wooden base
to which the machine is attached is
20 inches long, 9A inches wide and
SH inches thick, and has no addi-
tional supporting framework. It
