BANJO strings and drum-snares sandpaper and soap lub- ricating oils and pharmaceutical preparationsl What does it mean to your cost or living that Armour makes these and hundreds of other inedible products? Consider the matter from another angle. Study the price at which Armour buy$ and sells and study, likewise, what Armour sells. I a thousand- Armour rrnva the producer for pound steer at the 1916 average of $7.61 per hun. dredweight, $76.10. But, dressed, this thousand-pound steer weighs only some five hundred and sixty pounds which, at the average Armour selling price of $12.12h for 1916 up to November 1st (thetime when these figures were compiled) brings only $67.90, or $820 less than the cost of the live steer! ' No lope is necessary to convince you that neither Armour nor anyone else can sell meat at a loss. Nor does Armour sell at a loss. The four hun- dred and forty pounds of remaining material is all used every scrap of it Yet, the fact remains that, through scientific study which has made possible he utiliza- tion of inedible portions in valuable by-products, the dressed carcass of a beef steer sells for less than the steer cost Armour. While this is fact perfectly susceptible of proof were you able to watch the process, probably Mie way here to show you that it is so, is to give you an idea of how valuable some of these by-products are. . Take pharmaceutical preparations, for example sold only to the drug trade and medical profession. They come from every kind of animals Pepsin from the lining of pigs' stomachs Panereatin from the hog also Thyroids and Suprarenalin from sheep (the latter product so scarce that it requires 15,000 anU trials to make a pound, which sells at $5,100) Ren net from calves all these and many more, all bring ing big prices. , " Or consider such items as Glue, Curled -Hair, Bristles, Wool, Hides and Pelts, Lubricating Oils, Poultry and Sfocfc Feeds, Fertilizers anil many more. y. i There is no waste in the real sense of 'the word ; when you remember that even the tiny hairs inside cows'ears are clipped and saved for the makine of super, v fine brushes, you will understand the truth of this. Only a large establishment with the Armour fa cilities for the scientific utilization of every part of every animal, could possibly effect these sweep ing economies which keep meat prices at true-value levels, uninfluenced except by the relation of demand to supply. . . Hence, Armour's bigness becomes of supreme importance to the National Pocket book I For, by any other method of handling, you would pay more for your meats not merely a little more but enough more to pay for that part which under the small, local Slaughter-house system, is not fully utilized. ' ' ' Convinced of the absolute' soundness of this, it cannot be anything but common-sense for you to in sist that only Armour meats and food products be served on your table. ' frmoursr PRODUCTS, ARMOUR ACCOMPANY CHICAGO 3(ome Sconomcs $epartmer&t Firekis Chokers Within the last two decades, the age-old principle of tireless cooking has been popularized. The great brick ovens of our American and European ancestors utilized this principle when the oven was healed, then rilled with foods to be cooked in the retained heat. The idea is very simple trap or retain the heat so that it may work more efficiently. The average piece of cooking apparatus loses a great deal of its heat through radiation. Any fireless apparatus has one of more layers of heat retaining material be tween the inner chamber and the out sideair. It is a familiar fact that cer tain materials, notably metals, carry away er conduct heat, while other ma terials, such as paper, wool, wood and asbestos, do not have this property. The first class we call conductors, the second non-conductors. Homemade Fireless Cooker. A very primitive type of fireless cooker may be made at home by any amateur. Naturally it is not as satis factory as the specially manufactured device, but it will work nicely for simple foods, such as cereals and dried fruits. Secure a wooden candy bucket with a tight fitting lid. Line the sides and bottom of the bucket with sheet asbestos. Set a pail with a tight fitting lid inside the bucket. The pail should be about six inches less in diameter than the bucket. Sur round the pail closely with sheet as bestos, then secure this inner cylinder of asbestos with very strong glue or metal fasteners. Pad the inner cylin der at the bottom till the pail will just reach the top of the bucket. Fit a circular sheet of asbestos on the padding. The padding for the bottom of the inner cylinder and for the space between the cylinder and the pail is made of wet newspapers thoroughly pounded down with a Co-Operation. Readers are cordially invited to ask Miss Qrosa any questions about household economy upon which she may possibly give help ful arfvice; they are also Invited to giva suggestions from their expe rience that may be helpful to others meeting the same problems. hammer. Allow the padding to dry for several days before using. Finish the padding between the pail and the inner cylinder with a ring of sheet asbestos fitted down exactly. Line the lid of the bucket with two sheets of asbestos tacked on, and fasten the lid down with two hooks such a are used for fastening screen doors. A simple fireless cooker such as described here is particularly good for a summer camp, when one does not want to invest any great sum of money, yet would like the conven ience of a cooker. Bought Fireless Cooker. Most of the bought fireless cookers, even of the simplest type, carry the heat-retaining idea one step further. The cookers are made of nonconduct ing walls, and in addition stone plates are used either below or below and above the food to be cooked. These stone plates are heated separately at the time the food is Arst heated. Some of the more efficient cookers of this type will retain heat well enough to roast meats, or even to bake cake and pies. The' cost of ordinary cookers ranges from $10 to $20, depending on capacity. A comparatively new idea in fire less cookers is the combination of gas stove and cooker. The gas stove is constructed with a soecial oven and one hooded burner. For fireless cook ing the food is heated thoroughly, then the hood is dropped over ft, making an air-tight, heat-retaining ar rangement.

' The combination of electric isots and fireless cooker has the extra ad vantage of an automatic timer. This timer, by a mechanical device, turns off the electric current whenever de aired. Thus, the food is put in, the timer set, and the housewife is re lieved of all further responsibility.

With the passing of the coal or wood range in most city kitchens, it has become increasingly expensive to pre pare the fooda which require long periods of cooking. With the fireless, this type of cooking is once more in tensely practical. Then there it the convenience of the cooker. Foods may be prepared ahead of time and yet will be ready to serve hot, or at most will require slight reheating. Another advantage is the saving of attention when cooking fooda that would be apt to burn over a direct flame. Directions for using the cook ers vary with each type, and time for cooking varies. The directioni given by. the manufacturers are in most cases absolutely reliable, for It is part of their business to have them re liable. In general the directions are to heat the food thoroughly, about twenty minutes; heat the atones for the same length of time, and allow the food to atay in the cooker six to ten hours, if the simpler types of cookers are used. Breakfast cereal can stay in over night. The follow ing time table may be of some value in trying out s home-made cooker: Ceres is S to IS aoure Sonpa ',....,,....,4.
