A GOOD OLD LAMP
.HEAP things are usually ugly

~ y
u things. We all have won
dered why ugly ornamental
ton and tawdry decorations must be
added to the sorrows of those who
can have but few things Of any sort.
This good old oil lamp with it's
white shade casts mellow light
| that an electric bulb must be coaxed
oy sklllful shading to equal.
1t will burn nine hours, turned
high, on its charge of three pints of
kerosene. This, with kerosene at
IL cents gallon, makes the cost of
lighting three-fourths Of cent an
hour. When carried into the In
stitute kitchen the lamp cast soft.
golden, "old-fashioned" light that
made one feel that it belonged with
the ago of open fires rather than that
OF radiators, and that Mr.. Belasco
never ought to put on a "Harvest
Home" scene without a Ray-O lamp!
Another plainly old-fashioned and
rural or small town feature is that
it is guaranteed to furnish reading
light for family of seven!
The lines Of the lamp are simple
and graceful; not bit Of ginger
bread work disfgures the heavily
nickeled white alloy base. And
with all these aesthetic virtues it
produces about one-third more can
die power than a 25-watt electric
bulb. Oh, yes, we know it is a
bother to fill, but these are the COM
pensations Of an oil lamp, and, where
electricity is not, the soft light
given may we'll console one for the
cleanliness and convenience of the
electric service, though the latter
also costs less than half as much as
the oil for the same candle power, at
10-cent rate.
We are not expecting that any
one will substitute kerosene lamp
for her electric fixtures, but in the
shack, the country place, the small
town kitchen with or without gas,
1t still has place, and thousands of
them are still burning.
All this on 6.5 inch base: and
with an overall height Of 2Oa in
ches. The central draft for the circu-
lar wick Il GIG inches in diameter)
is furnished by a tube IL " inches
high and Y inches in diameter, with
an ample intake Of air around it's
base and also around the base of the
chimney, which is 10 inches high and
2% inches in diameter. The dome
like white shade is translucent, OK
inches in diameter and inches high,
and softens and diffuses the light,
making 1t very restful to the eyes.
The three pints Of oil are poured in

five feet in front Of the stove.
There are sixty-eight different
styles, sizes and finishes of this
type of heater, which vary in price
accordingly-the model pictured and

with cast iron legs, being one of
the lower priced models.

Dishwater is almost q cosmetic COM
pared with the dire effects of mon
wringing on the hands-and the ef-
feet on the back is still more painful
if less disfguring. So it behooves
US who mop not to give a thought to
those who do mop, and to provide a
way to perform this humble but nee
essary task with dry hands and un-
bent back. And this is Just what
this wringer does.
1t is not pretentious or handsome
piece of apprenticeship "handsome
Is as handsome does," and, moreover,
the cook or maid will look much hap
pier and handsolner when the DAVIS
work is done if she has one of these
little contraptions to help her. AS
the picture shows, even a child can
work it.
A rectangular galvanized steel
box, with soldered joints and a bail,
serves as pail, rs inches wide, 11.6
inches long and 8.4 inches deep. At
the narrow end are mounted a pair
OF hardwood (hickory) rollers, 7
inches long and 1.6 inches in diam
eter, between which the mon is
wrung out. One roller is fastened
into the boxlike pail, while the other
one turns in the galvanized frame
forming the top, which is hinged at
the end opposite the rollers. When
the top is raised, any mop that will
go through a hole 8.5 by IA inches
can be inserted.
To operate the wringer, the top is
replaced after inserting the mop, the
foot is pressed on the wooden foot
plate near the second roller. and the
mop is pulled out between the rollers.
The thoroughness of the wringinp
depends on the amount of foot pres
sure.
The wringer and pail weigh only
~ pounds, but it has a maximum
capacity Of IL quarts Of water. or 8
quarts when used as a mop pail. So
filled it would weigh 20% pounds.
1t Is easily carried, and is especially
convenient for the small kitchen or
apartment.
A 140-pound man Jumped" on the
footboard Of the wringer without in
Juring 1t, SO any amount Of pressure
can be safely applied. The makers
seem convinced Of it's merits and
durability, as they sell it with ten
day trial, money back guarantee.

Sllgarless Uncooked
Fruit Cake
BY Anna Stanley

Domestic Scientist, Tribune Institute
u ERE is a recipe for fruit
cake that can be concocted
in the tiniest little excuse
1or kitchen, and you don't even
need an oven.
1t requires no eggs; sugar Is re-
placed by honey; butter by olive oil,
and cereals take the place of flour,
1t Is not "freak" affair. eve" have
eaten it, and if the recipe is fol-
lowed exactly the housewife will
have a delightful surprise for the
family. These are the "makings":
One and half pounds of Seeded
raistns, one-half pound of dried cur
rants, three-fourths pound Of dates.
one-half pound Of figs, one half pound
Of candied cherries, one-half pound
OF crystallized pineapple, one-fourth
pound of citron, three-fourths pound
OF shelled pecans, two cupsful of
rolled oats, one and half cupsful
OF shredded wheat biscuits, one cup
full of grape juice, one cupful Of
thick blackberry juice, three-fourths
eupful of strained honey, four table,
spoonsful Of olive oil, one teaspoon
ful cinnamon, cloves, allspice and
nutmeg, one teaspoonful salt.
Combine the fruit juices and
spices and salt. Simmer the mixture
over slow fire for about fifteen
minutes. Do not allow it to boil
rapidly. Remove from the fire and
strain through a cheesecloth.
Grind the cereals in a meat chop
per before measuring. Reheat the
fruit juice to the boiling point and
pour it over the cereals. Then cover
closely and set it away owe Knight.
Prepare the fruit and the nuts as
for the usual fruit cake. The cur
rants need washing through many
waters and must dry overnight. The
nuts are best broken in small pieces,
not ground. The raisins, dates, pine
apple and citron are cut in bits and
the cherries left whole. When ready
to mix, measure the honey and olive
oil and stir them into the cereals
and fruit juice. Combine the nuts
and fruit and work them into this,
using the hands. The mixing must
be done in a large pan SO as to
blend everything thoroughly.
Line a pan with white paper
brushed over with olive oil. Pack
the mixture in this, a little at a
time, pressing it down until it is
perfectly solid. Decorate with nuts
and cherries and cover with an
other oiled paper.
Set the cake away in a tin box
for about two weeks, taking care
that it Is kept cool. Several days
before cutting It wrap in . cloth

No. 8, tested In the laboratory, is
OF boxlike construction, standing
23.5 inches high over all (being
raised 3 5-8 inches from the Aocr)
occupying a floor space 13.5x9. S
inches, and having an open heat
ing front IL inches wide and 13
inches high. The brass reflector in
the base is 7X12 inches, while the
asbestos back, which is rough and
looks very attractive when lighted,
is 1Ox12 inches. A 3-inch fue con-
nection Is provided with a cap, to
be used If no pipe is needed.
The most characteristic feature of
this burner is the arrangement of
New-York tribune., 1920-02-08

the burner tubes. These are COW
cred with screening to break up
the flame and reduce it's height.
Another arrangement which
makes the stove effective and in
sures circulation is the relation be-
tween the corrugated brass reflec-
tor sloping downward to the front
below the flame and the asbestos
back sloping forward over the
flame, which throws the heat for
ward along the floor.
These details of design practical
ly substantiate the somewhat sweep
ing claims made for thoroughness
OF combustion. absence of fumes
and odor, and circulation. There is
decided advantage in the type of
burner used, which gives proper ad-
Justment Of any gas pressure when
the valve is turned down so as to
just quiet the roar Of the flame.

Milk is one Of the most valuable aids
in planning diet for q rheumatic, and
it should be used largely in cooking as
we'll as for beverage. Buttermilk and
matted milk are also allowable and will
help in quenching the thirst (generally
accompanying rheumatic condition),
as we'll as affordng nutriment. Lemon
drinks are also excellent.
It must also be remembered that when
one is living on more or less restricted
diet larger portions of the various
dishes will be required to round out the
meal and furnish the full food values
than if no restraint is placed upon the
appetite, as full nutrition is important,
Only oysters and clans may be chosen
from the varieties Of shellfish and white
f1eshed fish simply cooked. This does
not apply to Spanish mackerel, which
is 50 rich and oily in composition that

Avoid tomatoes, all red meats Tin ad-
dition to those already mentioned), sugar,
salted, dried or potted meat, white
bread, nuts, cheese, coffee, made dishes,

An ounce Of prevention is worth many
pounds Of cure and ration that recog-
nizes these facts may fcrestall even the

menus are only intended to be general
and suggestive. Really pathological
conditions call for Doctors advice and

Of rheumatism and diet is always more

cupful Of coarse bulk oatmeal, three
cupsful Of boiling water and one cupful
Of rich milk. Add to the boiling water
one teaspoonful of salt and the oatmeal
and cook, stirring rapidly, over direct
heat for five minutes. Then place over
hot water in the upper part Of the
double boiler and cook for four hours.
Add the cupful Of milk when you re-
move the mixture from the fire and
strain through fine sieve Mold as
for any jelly. If the cereal is preferred
hot reheat, when it will be of the con-
sistency of very thick puree. This is

Scientific Curiosities

1t is hard for the uninitiated to realize that
lemons and oranges when broken down in the
body alkaline and counteract acidity, help
to keep the blood alkaline it should be, while
sugars and meats make for acidity. Yet such is
the case, and this nation is many thousands of
pounds ahead of the rest of the world in the
consumption Of both of these foods. With the
abolition of alcoholic stimulants there is every
prospect that increased quantities of both will
be eaten, especially sweets, and this may we'll be
to the detriment of the general health unless
we keep an eye ON the meat and sugar eaten.

C0MPERS ASKS NATION TO
AID LEAGUE OF NATIONS

: Montreal, June 15-It is "pitiabIe"
that the United States has not ratified
the League of Nations, Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, declared here today
in an address before the federation's
convention. If the league covenants
were submitted to the American peo-
pie "without any other entangling
questions, it would be overwhelmingly
accepted" he said.
Mr.. Gompers expressed regret that
the United States "has forgotten the
effort of the nations of the world to
prevent another horrible conflict
such as that which started six years
ago."
The labor draft of the league COW
enant, he added, would "help in the
reunion of the working people Of the
world and would help workers in the
most backward countries"
Mr.. Gompers made strong appeal
that the convention support the
league and "lend helping hand to
the toilers of the smaller countries
and aid them to take their places
among the civilized nations of the
world"
