EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL.

Eastern's spring play. "A Midsum-
ner Nights Dream" is to be present
ed May 3, and 5. The efforts of the
high school students are particular
ly successful. Their exuberance of
spirit and their ability to vary their
moods as the play becomes joyful
or sorrowful, amusing or serious, all
goes to make the play a great sue
cess.
There is no other poet who can
look as comprehensively. deeply. and
yet sympathetically into the hearts
Of the young people Of all times as
Shakespeare. The cast selected is ad-
mirably suited to pierce the inner
most spirit Of the writer. AS the
days pass, the players are keyed to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and
seem, in truth, to be the characters
they represent.
Under the very able direction Of
Miss Ethel T. Prince and Miss Kate
c. Moore. the rehearsals are progress
sing rapidly.
At the beginning. some doubt was
expressed as to whether BILLY" Glenn

splendid actor. She quite remark

pathos Of the forest scenes to the

Good Old Days. Not
So Good for Real
Housewives

Utterly beyond the grasp of
grandmother are the ideas of
electrical housekeeping and the
ease and grace of home-making
that the modern housewife has
at her command. The touch of
a button accomplishes in five
minutes what it took grand
mother as many hours to do.
"They didn't do that when
was a young married wom-
an" grandmother signs when
her newly married grand
daughter puts the dinner in the
electric oven to cook, turns on
the current, sets the thermo-
stat Cor control) that will shut
off the electricity when the
meal is done, and then puts on
her hat and goes calmly off to
matinee. Chimes have
changed since / was a girl"
Perhaps grandmother is a bit
too set in her old-fashoined
ways. She forgets the drudg-
cry that occupied her to such
an extent when she was a
young woman. In those days
a housewives love for her
home was gagged by her ca
pacity for household drudgery.

SAVING SUNDAY
ROAST MADE
EASY
Electric Cooker Saves All the
juices and Problem Is
Solved for Cook.

"How did you find your roast

licitously.
with the greatest difficulty"
returned the diner, politely. AFTER
some effort / discovered it lurking
behind bit of lettuce and a sprlg
Of parsley"
The waiter smiled at the diners
little joke. 1t was surely not hls
fault that the meat had shrunk 70
such unrecognized dimensions. 1t
was not the fault of the chef, Tor
his orders to get so many heIplngs
from roast of given size were IN
deed strict. It was in reality the
fault Of the method of cooking,
which dried all the juices from the
meat and shrank it to a fraction
of it's original size.
This difficulty can be obv1ated for
many Of us. Foods, especially
meats, that are cooked on an cleo
trio range, do not shrink materially.
More important still, they do not
lose a particle of their food value.
For these two reasons cooking by
electric methods stand in a class
by itself.
Food economy is made possible
when cooking electrically. I'm cook
ing by gas or COAL" states Mrs.
Maud Lancaster. an authority on
electrical cooking, 'it is common
for meat to lose from one-quarter
to one-third it's weight. The shrink
age on roast beef is 81 per cent its
weight and on mutton 35 per cent. "
1t is of course natural for roasts
to dry and dwindle when cooked in
an oven where the heat cannot be
confined. The moisture, the SAVIOR.
and much of the good" in meats
passes off into the room.
Electric ovens are so constructed
as to retain nearly all of the desir-
able elements in food-a construc-
ton which at the same time con-
serves the heat, keeping it in the
oven where it is needed. By the
electric method, too, the heat control
is both automatic and perfect and
the cook is not harassed with
keeping up the fire" or discovering
there is too much or too little heat
to accomplish the proper cooking
of that days menu.
