NO SMOKE!
NeW BrOiLers Can't
And Won't

Almost every home economist
who knows anything about the
improvements of modern gas
ranges over the old-fashioned
stove will applaud the current
efforts of the Washington Gas
Light Company and leading local
stores in their "Old Stove Round
Up"
Home on the range" can be a
delightful experience rather than
a continuous drudgery if you have
the proper type of cooking equip
ment. There is no doubt that
many new vistas are opened to
the person who has decided to be
up-to-date in this respect.
With speed broiling or the new
low temperature method there's
no smoke in the kitchen; no
smoke in your eyes when the
broiler door is opened; no hot
rack to handle. And there's real
magic in the new radiant type
broiler.
Once you possess such broiler,
you'll not stop at steaks and
chops; you will want to try meat
pattieS, fish, chicken and sausages.
Even leftover potatoes and vege-
tables may b., heated and Drowned
to delicious crustiness in a very
few minutes. Mixed grills -
broiled grapefruit, oranges, ap-
pies, bananas, canned fruits such
as apricotS and peacheS-all add
variety to your meals!

Here Are Some Points

gives these quick facts about new
ranges.
Multiflame top burners offer
any speed of heat, from instant
full flame to mere points of flame
for simmering and warming. Foods
start cooking the moment the gas
is turned on.
Triple pans and we'll cookers
serve to cook the main course over
one burner without constant at
tention. ovens preheat in double

KITCHEN OLD?
DON'T WORRY

With the present wave Of remod-
cling sweeping the country, many
a homemaker is indulging in wish
full thinking as regards her
kitchen. Thin k ing eventually
leads to Transformation once the
planning bee starts buzzing.
If your kitchen is eight to 10
years old, or even more ancient, it
is by no means hopeless, planning
experts say. 1t has the advantage
of spaciousneSs for the inclusion
of that most desirable Step-saver
the informal dining corner all
families enjoy. An old style
kitchen may have a new and con-
yenient arrangement of modern
equipment even if there are exist
ing architectural features in the
room that cannot be changed.

maintained for foods demanding
them.
There are no unevenly heated
corners in the oven of the modern
gas range; foods bake and brown
uniformly. Improved insulation
confines the oven heat, the air
conditioned oven permits food
flavors to remain distinct-a whole
meal may be cooked at once. Oven
racks are nontip, there can be no
accidents; broiler racks slide or
swing out, or swing upward.

New Ranges Make
Dreams Come True

BY looking at the smart new
gas ranges, the housewife can
readily see how easy it is to make
her dream kitchen" a reality.
They offer truly modern style
coupled with the ability to work
culinary wonders" A modern gas
range will ange any drab
kitchen into a bright and CHEEKY
place in which to prepare meals.

NO MORE GUESSING

Gas ranges have always done an
kxceilent baking job, but until re-
fcentIy the cook had to guess about
baking temperatures. Today the
new models offer improvements
that insure success every time you
bake. Automatic heat control is
the secret. No longer is it neceS-
sary to put your hand in the oven
as In the old days to judge the tenn
perature, no need to watch the
oven at all.
The automatic, trouble-free oven
heat control on the new gas ranges
measures heat as accurately as
you measure the ingredients of a
recipe. It works as simply as turn
ing Q radio dial, and maintains
oven heat at any predetermined
temperature as long as desired.

CITIZENS BANK GETS
LIMITED SUPPLY OF
NEW SCENT PIECES

One hundred new jefferson
nickels were received by the Cit
liens State bank this week and
are being given out to coin COL
lectorS and other interested per-
sons.
The present supply is limited
and the bank has been instructed
that only two can be sold to a
customer. The price is five cents.
Only SIS worth was available to
the institution because of the
widespread demand for the coins.
Comment on the new five cent
pieces was varied, but most Red
wood Falls residents who saw
them prefer them to the Buffalo
design.
M. o. Hanson, cashier of the
Citizens bank, says their concave
construction makes them stack
better than the old nickels.
People don't seem to like new
money-they have to become ac-
customed to it," he added.
w. M. Smith said he likes all
kinds of money but finds the new
nickels especially attractive.
when you matched with some
of the old ones you could hardly
tell heads from tails. The differ
ence is very marked on the JEFF
ferson type" he explained.
Looks like counterfeit or
slug" said Policeman Tom Arnett
Jr., keeping his mind on his work.

Postmaster J. r. Keefe describ-

as lust dandy"
About 100000 of the new
five cent pieces were sent from
Washington to federal reserve
banks for distribution. They car
ry the head of Thomas Jefferson,
third president of the United
States, and his Monticello home
on the opposite side.
The nickel is really three
quarters copper. It was designed
by Felix Schlag, a naturalized
German living in Chicago. He
won the treasury department
competition prize of $1,000.
Although there were some Buff
falo nickels coined in 1898, pro-
duction of them has stopped and
they will eventually become
scarce.
