AT A COOKING SCHOOL

The first thing we were taught was
to read the meter. We found that we
start reading it from the right-hand
side. The first hand is unit hand;
the second, the tenths hand; the third,
the hundredths; and the fourth, the
thousandths. The rates on electricity
were also explained. 1t was found
that baking and cooking electrically
is quite cheap.
The next thing we learned was at
what heat various cakes were to bake.
We found that layer cake bakes the
best at 375 degrees, loaf cake at
$50 degrees, and an angel food at 1926
degrees
We found that an electric stove had
many advantages. Some of these are:
no wood nor coal to carry in and no
ashes to carry out; they are very neat
and easy to keep clean, no odor, are
safe for children (can not be burned
because the outside of the stove does

THE INTERNATIONAL PASSWORD

Efficiency and Economy" can truly
be called the international password
How different our conception of thrift
is from the idea our fathers had. We
save time, labor, and materials as
well as money.
"Our newest time saver is the cleo
trio stove. 1t is run automatically so
we have nothing to worry about. Even
the sedate clock has been changed
into a prim little timepiece which
supervises lour cooking. Electricity,
in good stove, is a cheap form of
energy. A meal can be cooked in
less time, at the cost of a few cents,
with less worry than before.
Our kitchen is our laboratory. We
must do as much as we possibly can
in the shortest time and exert the
least possible effort That is efficien-
cy. With such aids as electrical fix
lures, we can be more efficient than
our grandmOthers were. The things
we work with repay us with the pleas
ure we derive from using them, the
cost of the fixture and energy it uses.

TWELVE COUNTY
RESIDENTS DIE
OF T. B. IN 1928

Twelve residents of Pine county
were victims of tuberculosis during
1928, ii report issued by the Minnesota
Public Health association in connec-
ton with the Christmas Seal Sale
states. Three /of these deaths Oc-
Cured at institutions and other places
outside of the county. There were
five additional deaths of people from
outside counties reported to the State
Board of Health from Pine county.
Every six hours tuberculosis takes
the life of a man, woman, or child
somewhere in Minnesota" says a bull
letin from the Minnesota Public
Health association. "ThroughOut the
state there are now 1900 people with
active tuberculosis.
I'm 1928 tuberculosis caused the
death of a total of 1,460 people in the
state. A study of the records shows
that the disease was dangerous to
babies, taking the lives of 81 infants
under one year of age, and 81 when
they had reached their second birth
days. 1t tnen SuDSlQeQ SOlHeWHdI ull-

at which period 80 succumbed to the
disease" At that carefree time from
Is to 10, this enemy of youth forged
ahead at an alarming rate, claiming
as victims, 10S boys and girls. The
ratio of deaths at these ages was two
girls to each boy. From 20 to "a,
when young men and women are
establishing homes and getting start
ed in industry, tuberculosis killed 500
Minnesotans. Between 35 to "A, the
best years of life from an economic
standpoint, 26S lives were snuffed out
by the disease.
1t is anticipated that the death toll
from tuberculosis throughout the
United States this year will number
between 10000 and 100000 people.

can be cured" the bulletin declared

BYRD FLIES over POLE
Returns Safely After Radio Fails,
President Hoover Radios His
Congratulations.

New York-Commander Richard e.
Byrd of the Byrd Antartic exploration
expedition has made a successful flight
of 1900 miles to the South Pole and
return from his base at Little Amer
lea, Antarctica, surveying and photo
graphing much adjacent territory and
mountain range 10000 feet high.
This flight across the South Pole has
made him the first man in history to
fly across earth's both poles, having
flown across the North Pole in a tri-
motored plane from Kings Bay, Spitz-
bergen in 1916.
The flight across the south pole was
the first attempt he had made to fly
to the pole, although previously he
had used airplanes in flights from his
base at Little America in laying sub
bases on the route to the pole and in
exploration trips.
He was the third man to reach the
south pole. The first was Roald
Amundsen, Norwegian, who reached
it December IA, 1911, and few days
later he was followed by Captain Rob-
,ert F. Scott, British explorer.
The New York Times was directed
by President Hoover to forward by
radio a message of congratulation.

COOKING BY ELECTRICITY

There are many advantages of cleo
trical cooking over the old method
There is no wood or coal to carry in
Guilty of having smoke fill the house
when the wind blows in a certain
direction is a by-gone experience if
you have an electric range. Children
can safely play around an electric
stove without any danger of setting
the house on fire. The new sanitary
ranges are items which add great at
Effectiveness to the American home
of today. The kitchen is the labora-
tory of the housewife and frequently
is more modern than any other room
in the house.
An important item which has been
recently added to the electric range
is the timer. The housewife can pre-
pare the meal to be cooked and turn
the hands of the timer to the time
she wants the food to begin cooking.
This device is a great help to those
who work out or who attend long
club meetings.
The cost OF operating electrical de-
vices depends on the method of oper-
alton. The meter tells exactly how
many kilOwatts of electricity are
used. The first twenty. kilowatts cost
eight and half cents each; the next
three cost seven cents each; all the
rest cost three and nine-tenths cents
per kilOwatt.
If certain type of food is to be
cooked for one hour, that does not
mean that there is electricity being
used during the entire hour. 1t is
being used only about seventeen min
utes. The current comes on at in
tervals and stays on for about three
minutes. By careful operation the
cost of use of electricity is very low.
