Cooking with Electricity

Most of US have always thought
that cooking with electricity was
entirely beyond the reach of the av-
erage home on the basis of expense.
And it is true that the use of e.
lectricty for all cooking purposes
will use a considerable amount of
current. But there has recently been
so much Improvement in the design
of electric heat appliances of all
kinds and in the small electric light
and power plants which furnish
electric service to the farm home.
that for reasonably light service,
electric cooking is we'll within the
reach OF the average farm family.
This has been accomplished by
combining the principle of electric
heating as used in the flat iron
with that of the 'fireless' cooker.
The electric cooker is a box about
two feet square and about three
feet high. The walls are very thick
and are insulated with rock wool,
no heat can escape. In the bottom
of the box is the electric heating ell
ement and Immediately above this
are the food receptacles, aluminium
vessels with covers. The cooking is
started with heat high heat which
is soon reduced to just enough to
keep the cooking process going on.
The heat insulation of the box is so
good that once the cooking is start
ed little more current is needed
than enough to light an ordinary
electric lamp. Automatic clock reg
ular is also supplied which changes
the current from high to low after
any desired number of minutes, and
means that once the food recepta-
cles are filled and placed in the
cooker the whole appliance needs
no further attention.
The electric cooker will be par
ticularly welcome on the farm in
the summer, when the heat of the
kitchen stove is almost unbearable.
The whole outfit Of the largest ca
pacity can be purchased for less
than fifty dollars and the few cents
worth of current needed to cook
meal will be more than in natural
fuel and added comfort for the farm
wife.

BRENNAN GETS l
FIRST BOUT ON
DEMPSEY CARD
Chicago Heavy Picked When
All Chances of Carpenter
Match Fade.
OTHER SCRAPS IN VIEW
By HENRY FARRELL.
United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Jack Dempsey
will defend his worlds heavyweight
championship for the first time against
Bill Brennan, the Chicago heavy.
The articles were signed today by Jack
Kearns and Leo Flynn, the managers OF
the principals.
Benton Harbor, Philadelphia, Rochester
and New Orleans have bid for the fight,
with prices ranging from $4,000 to $780,
900 for the champions services.
Having called the hand of Georges Car
pentier and finding the Frenchman could
not make good his challenges, Kearns
turned his attention to a pile of offers
for bouts with Brennan. Fred Fulton and
Billy Miske.
Brennan will be the best first card
against the champion" Kearns said, after
signing.
The meeting yesterday between Kearns
and the Frenchman turned out Just as
predicted.
Kearns opened the meeting with a short
history Of the Frenchman's activities in
America, how he had hurled challenges
broadcast and backed away when he tried
/ to pin him down to them.
81 am here with you now" he said,
leaning over Manager Descamps. I am
bout up to the highest bidder"
Descamps said he was unable even to
discuss the fight under the provisions Of
| & contract with Charles B. Coehrane, the
London promoter, which holds until Dec.
| 81, 1920.
Kearns said he would discuss a fight
under the Cochrane contract II Descamps
would call off the bout with Levinsky.
"Why?' Curley and Descamps wanted
| to know.
/ Because Carpenter won't be worth
800 after Levinsky gets through with
him. I'll be wanting to sign the Bat
tier then, not you" Kearns shouted.
! The Frenchmen could not find words
| for their wrath
One lingering ray Of hope for the
| Dempsey Carpenter fight is that some
/ American promoter can sign Dempsey
! and stage the fight in America with
/ Cochrane as a partner.
( Carpenter leaves tomorrow for France.
