Chats With
Your
Gas Man

We want you to limit the
amount of gas you use to
your exact needs. Here are
few ways to do it:
If you are boiling water,
do not heat a quart when a
pint is enough. When the
water comes TO a boiling
point and you wish to keep
it there, it is not necessary
to leave the gas on full to do
so. Turn it down. Water
violently agitated with
tremendous heat under it is /.
only escaping in the form
of steam.
a watched pot never /
boils," they say, because in :
watching it you remove the
cover and part of the heat
escapes. Keep the covers of
utensils on when it is pos
sible and have covers fit
properly.
Always light the gas after,
not before, you have placed
the utensil over the burner.
Also turnout the gas before,
not after taking the utensil
off the range. In the course
of year, this little rule in
itself will we'll repay your
care.

MAKING YOUR OWN ICE CREAM

In warm weather ice cream is not
only delicious, but necesse-y to ones
persontl comfort. For inva',Gs and
children, it is necessary to health.
With a modern freezer, ice cream
can be frozen in Is or 20 minutes-not
much time and energy TO spend in so
good cause, is it? You should fill
your freezer can only three-fourths full
of the mixture as the liquid increases
in bulk during the freezing and If the
can is crowded the dessert will be
coarse grained. After putting the liquid
in the can, set the can in place in the
freezer, adjust dasher and handle, and
pack layers of salt and ice about the
can, to its top. Begin tuning the
crank slowly at first, then more rap
idlv as the dessert is frozen TO mush.
Do not draw of the water from the
melting ice, as it collec.e (uEless, of

the can in four parts OF ice to one part

Proper Quantities OF Ice and Salt to
Use: The texture of the dessert being
made, determines the correct amounts
of ice and salt needed. All ice creams,
water ices and sherbets should be frozen
in three parts OF ice TO one part OF
salt, by exact measure. Frappes, which
are of coarse texture should be frozen
in equal parts of ice and salt; and
uousses and parfaits (which are creams
frozen without grinding) should be
packed, in their moulds, in equal parts
of ice and salt, also.

Do you sometimes wonder il you bore
other people as much as certain people
bore you?
There is nothing else that gives one
such n horrible, cold, sinking feeling
as to vision oneself as one OF those in
dividuals whose friends and family en-
durc them with what fortitude they may,
and whom strangers fee from os they
would from the wrath Of God To be
dull, heavy, stupid, tiresome; TO have
people yawn in your face; To catch the
look of dismay at your coming, and glad
relief at your going; TO know that even
your nearest and dearest bear with you
instead of enjoying yoli--could any fate
be worse than that OF the bore?
And the difficulty is that We never
really know whether we are bores or not
as we know for certain whether we are,
blondes or brunette, or short or tall.
/ We may be bores without knowledge or
, intention, and spread a deathly weari-
ness wherever we go, as some people
are unconscious carriers of the typhoid
germ.
1t behoovcs us all, therefore, to look
with suspicion upon ourselves and TO try
| to find out how we react upon our fellow
creatures. Above all, it is up to us to take
stock Of our conversation, and while
there is no one acid test that will abso-
lutely determine our status as a Joy
maker or a gloom compeller, there are
number of things which we may be very
sure that VIC cannot do without putting
ourselves in the bore class.
The chief of these is to talk about
oneself No egotist need waste a second
