PROPER USE OF GAS STOVE
For Best Results Burners Must Be
Kept Clean and in Good condi-
tion--Have Clear Flame.

For good results in using gas
stove keep the burners clean and in
good condition, and adjust the air
shutters properly, advises the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
flame should be clear, blue and of uni
form height. The screw on the air
shutter can be adjusted easily with a
screwdriver. The flame should be long
enough to reach the bottom of the
saucepan, but not so long that it will
reach its side. The burner should be
set as close as possible to the bottom
Of the saucepan in which food is cook
ing. One and one-half inches between
the upper surface of the burner and the
bottom of the pan is enough, in most
cases, and sometimes less will suffice.
However, the vessel should not sit so
close over the flame as to touch the
inner blue cone or core of the flame,
for in that case combustion becomes
imperfect to such an extent that car
bon monoxide, a poisonous gas, may be
formed.

SKIM MILK HAS FOOD VALUE
There IS Left All of Sugar and Most
of Mineral Substances, but Also
Proteins.

Whole milk, as every one knows, Is
an indispensable food for the young,
and even in the diet of the adult it is
desirable. For cooking purposes, how
ever, skim milk is very satisfactory,
although it lacks the valuable food con-
stituent, butterfat There is left
nevertheless in the skim milk, not only
all of the sugar, which amounts to
about AZ parts in every 100, and most
of the mineral substances, but also
most of the proteins The last named
class of substances is important, be-
cause besides supplying muscle and
tissue-building material, they also
serve as fuel for the body, as fats,
sugars and starches do
Since the nutritive part Of skim milk
consists very largely Of protein, it is
to be classed with such food materials
as eggs, meat, fish, poultry and cheese
Though it is more delicate than those
foods), rather than with such sub
stances as sugar, which serve only as
fuel. Two and half quarts of skim
milk contain almost as much protein
and yield about the same amount of
energy as pound of round Of beef.
Whole, unskimmed milk has, of
course, a more pleasing taste to many
people, and those who do not need to
consider the additional cost will no
doubt always prefer it. Children should
always be given whole milk. When
used for cooking, however, the differ
ence in taste between skinned and
unskimmed milk is not so perceptible,
and there are many uses to which skim
milk can be put in the preparation of
foods. In the making of cereal mushes,
for instance, the use of skim milk in
place of water adds greatly to the nu-
tritive value, particularly by raising
the amount Of tissue-forming mate
rails.

STRONG DRAF rs ARE
HARMFUL TO CANARY
Songsters Are Susceptible to
Changes in Temperature.


prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Canaries are susceptible to sudden
changes in temperature, and cold
drafts may soon prove fatal, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In choosing place for the cage,
direct exposure to a strong draft OF
cold air must always be avoided. a
cage may be placed on small shelf
along the wall, or suspended from
bracket attached to the wall or win
dow casing. Swinging brackets are IN
expensive and are convenient for use
when it is impracticable to fasten
hooks in the ceiling.
When one or two canaries are Kept
as pets, it is usual to suspend their
cages before window, where the birds
may enjoy light and sunshine, This
is a good practice where the window
is kept closed during cool or stormy
weather, and the joints are tight. It
may be necessary to line the edges Of
the window frame and the junction Of
the upper and lower halves of the win
dow with Misunderstanding to prevent
drafts, and it is best to suspend the
cage so that it will hang opposite or
below the junction of the two halves
of the window frame. The room must
remain at a fairly even temperature
day and night, and in cold weather It
Is well to cover the cage with a towel
or other light cloth at night. A cage
should never be suspended directly
above radiator, and it is best to
avoid keeping birds in small kitchens,
as the fluctuations in heat are per-
haps more marked there than in any
other part of the house. Exposure to
damp air may prove fatal.
The cage must be kept scrupulously
clean if the canary is to remain in
good health and free from vermin- The
supply of water should be renewed
daily and the seed cup replenished at
least every other day. The recepta-
cles for these necessities should be
cleaned and washed carefully at short
Intervals. Cages that have removable
bases should have the tray in the bot
tom covered with several thicknesses
of paper, or with heavy, coarse-grained
sandpaper, known as gravel paper,
that NAV be secured from dealers in
bird-cage supplies. This should be re
newed whenever the cage is cleaned,
and, in addition, the pan should be
washed in hot water from time to time.
Lime on the perches may be removed
by means of scraper made of a bit
Of tin fastened to wire or tackled at
right angles to a stick small enough to
pass easily between the wires of the
cage. Cages with bottom attached
should be provided with a sand tray
that slides in and out through a slot

SiIverware as Gifts;
Makes Home Brighter

Silverware possesses an attribute
as a gift which is more or less Pc
culiar to itself. This is it's repeat
value observes writer in the Mil
waukee Sentinel. This feature makes
it desirable, since .silverware in the
same pattern may be given on success
sive occasions until the recipient has
been bestowed with a complete serv-
ice.
All of these things account for the
position in which silverware, both
sterling and the best grades Of plate,
finds itself today. Throughout the
country it has become recognized as
par excellence, ''the anniversary gift, ;"
and in the case Of many families the
furnishing of the home with silver
ware is being accomplished along the
anniversary gift" route. In some IN
stances it has worked out like this:
Father and Tom and Polly all re-
member mothers birthday and we'd
ding anniversary by gifts of silver
ware. Each in turn decide on silver
ware when the gift for the others IS
beng discussed and when lasting re-
me,nbrance is the main thing desired.
These gifts of silverware help 10
make the home brighter for all OF
them. Each member feels that he or
she has had a part in the home-mak-
ing. Considered in all it's phases,
surely this plan makes for not only
better home but more united family.

Simple Clothes Is
Hint From Paris
Plan to Provide Apparel
for All Doubtful In-Be-
tween Occasions.

For those doubtful in-between occa-
sions Paris has one unfailing COM
mand-be simple, writes fashion au-
thority in the New York Tribune. Din
ing in a public place you are sure to
be correct and fashionable in a
straightline frock of unobtrusive
crepe or the more inconspicuous fig
ured material, entirely untrimmed ex-
cept for perhaps one distinctive bit.
The demanded individual touch is
often gained by girdle, by bit of
clever drapery or by a delicate collar.
There are many charming variations
of the chemise frock for informal
wear. A straightline dress is .devel-
oped from beige crepe. A fichu of
cream net finishes the neck and ex-
tends down the front of the bodice to
the waistline 1t is enlivened by a
girdle of rose and purple ribbon.
Sometimes the chemise frock is Off
set with an apron tunic or perhaps
two full gathered panels. One maker
sets two full panels on printed crepe
frock of straight lines. They are sus-
pended from outstanding pockets and
make the rather severe line of the
dress very interesting.
For the jeune file there are lovely
dresses made of georgette crepe
trimmed with intricate hand decora-
tons made from narrow folds of the
georgette. Many of these are in what
is known as robe a tabelier style; that
is, there is little apron motif in the
decoration. Lanvin never seems to
tire Of this effect for young girls. A
typical model has, in addition to the
little apron effect, brilliant splash of
embroidery, bouquet of field flowers
in vivid red, blue and yellow tones
with equally vivid green foliage. There
is handkerchief pocket and the small

It seems that men who have installed

they have to visit the barber for a

ter heads of hair than any other sec
ton of the community. 81 put this fact
down to the electrical disturbances in

With the informal frock the correct
wrap is either a crepe coat, prefer
ably black or dark blue, ore coat or
cape of georgette crepe trimmed with
braid Hip-length capes to match the
dress also are chic.
Wool dresses for morning wear
often have accompanying under
blouses, which are revealed at the
neck and protrude at the bottom of the
sleeves. Often these blouses are Of
printed silks, adding color to the cos
tune. Frequently they are Of crisp,
white organdie, thus giving the linge-
RE touch reminiscent Of the Renais-
sance period when women we're so
proud of wearing underclothing that
they insisted on their chemises show
ing through their lacings and over
their necklines.

Velvet ribbons have taken quite a
place in popular use with the coming
of summer Narrow velvet ribbons are
used to outline the juncture of skirt
and waist, whether that be at the
waist-line, below it or, as sometimes
happens, several inches above. Some
times the narrow velvet ribbon is tied
with long loops and ends in the back,
sometimes at the side land sometimes
directly in the front in an absurd lit

bow is especially liked by young girls.
