1t is not wise to attempt its>use in connection with an electric range. This is because the range repre- sents the maximum of efficiency in the use of that fuel and there is only loss in attempting to transmit the heat through another medium, such as water or radiators. It is almost a fireless in itself.

It is a more efficient use of the coal as fuel to send it's heat directly over the over of the range than to attempt to heat the radiators. But when time enters into the question, this may

The drop in tempera- ture reaches approximately 145 de- grees F. in this time and that only when the cooker kettle is full.

 There are a number of good cookers on the market. Whether you select wood or metal case makes no difference. Choose the one you personally prefer. But be sure the cooker is lined with aluminium. No other metal will preserve a perfect, unrusted sur face after years of use.

 If the polished furniture has logged" or discolored, it can be cleaned by wiping over with cloth dipped in paste Wax. On badly stained furniture a liberal amount of wax can be used. Use a second dry polishing cloth to rub off the wax and to secure the sheen. In both cases, velveteen is an excellent choice of fabric.
 If the furniture is soiled, polish applied to such surfaces will never give good results. The only thing to do is to clean the surface thor oughly before it is polished. A cake of mild soap drawn a couple of times through pail of warm water, to which a little ammonia finish if the surface is then rubbed dry directly with a soft cloth or chamois, followed by an applica- tion of a small amount of liquid wax.

 It is as time saver, then, rather than as a fuel saver, that the fire less may be used in connection with a coal range for baking.
 With an oil range, baking and roasting can be accomplished pro- vided the metal radiators are used. We do not find oil burners capable of satisfactorily heating soapstone radiators. It requires too long 8 time. The greatest fuel saving is probably accomplished with gas.

every phase OF industry and com
merce men pay for commodities and
services in proportion to the amount
received. For example, when we buy
coal we pay certain price per ton !;
when we send the produce OF our
farms To the distant markets we pay
freight In proportion TO the tonnage
when We travel on the railroad we
pay fare based on the distance ira

agree on the price and then carefully

and many more will doubtless find It
advantageous soon TO do so.
