It is no longer for us to decide personally whether we care to savegas or coal or kerosene; our job is to save the fuel because it is needed. The delightful part of saving fuel is that it usually means saving labor as well; and it always, means saving the "last minute rush" before a meal. It also means forethought which fact makes it the friend of the careful housewife and the foe of the careless one. Fuel Saving Devices. There is just one principle under lying all heat saving devices, and that is to trap the heat after you once have it. The average stove is very wasteful of heat as witness the amount of heat present in a kitchen where a coal range or eves a gas stove is burning. The heat may be kept in by thick walls of non-conducting material as in a fireless cooker, or an Atkinson oven, or by producing steam which is entirely trapped in the steam pressure cooker or partly trap ped in any steamer. The fireless cooker is too familiar a device to require any explanation, and its virtues are self-evident. No doubt the combination of gas and fire less, or electricity and fireless is the most satisfactory except for initial ex pense. Atkinson Ovens. The Atkinson oven, or Aladdin oven, as it was sometimes called, is a splendid device which has never been popularized. It is an oven that fits over a kerosene lamp or a small gas burner, and it is so constructed that a maximum of heat is retained. I have never seen but one Atkinson oven, although the principle of it is identical with the so-called "fireless" ovens of some gas and and kerosene stoves. Recently, however, I have read ad vertisements of a new oven (portable) which sounds exactly like the old Aladdin oven. x Steam Pressure Cooker. A clover Denver mechanic one day thought that steam under pressure might be a help to the housewife as well as to the manufacturer and he invented the "Pressure Cooker." It saves fuel because it reduces enor mously the length of time required for cooking foods that ordinarily require slow cooking. I have been told that any ordinary family would save its initial cost (about $15) in one year through reduced fuel ills. Tough cuts of meat can be thoroughly cooked in 30 minutes with the pres sure cooker. Steamers. The ordinary steamer is a perfor ated vessel which fits over a kettle of hot water, but the most modern steamers include an enclosed rack fit ting over a pan of hot water. There are several shelves sin the rack and on each a pan may be placed. Thus three or four dishes may be steamed at once, using only one burner. This is a slow method of cooking, but Very satisfactory. No flavor is lost. Saving Fuel Without Special Devices. The easiest way to save fuel at all times is to use just as high a flame as is required and no higher. One of the most difficult points to teach a beginner in cooking is that water boils over a low flame (after the boil ing point is reached) and that it does nothing else, even ove a high flame. In other kinds of cooking, a moderate flame will nearly always bring just as good and as qMick results as a high one. Another easy method of saving fuel is to utilize the oven to the full. It is frequently possible to prepare a whole dinner in the oven if one will spend just a little thought in plan ning the menu. Ordinary portable ovens are excel lent to use on the top of the stove when just one thing is to be baked. Their initial cost is slight and the cost will be saved many times over. Dainty Summer Frock T" How and What to Substitute for Wheat Flour Even a pound-to-pound basis in tht face of the present flour crisis seemi too small a part for the red-blooded American now. We know that the bread rations of French soldiers have already been reduced. , Many otherwise patriotic house wives have shown a great want of un derstandirig in regard to this pound-to-pound cereal substitute problem Some have even gone so far as to paj for the substitutes necessary and leave them at the dealers, thus open ly flaunting their intention of not co operating with the food administration. And some sucn acts in homes thai proudly float the American flag and ' display a service flag. These sacred emblems must have lost their signifi cance to one who finds it in him to deliberately take the fighting fuel from the army. It is merely a matter of taste witr us and this should not be counte nanced. The use of wheat flour is after all mostly habit. Barley was the universal cereal used until the latter part of the 17th century. Aftet wheat was introduced it took half a century before the people used even 50 per cent of wheat flour. Because women directly supervise the buying and preparation of nine tenths of all foodstuffs women must get in line at once and save this wheat situation. Here's How. The secret of disposintr of the pound-to-pound order of wheat sub stitution is in the selection of sub stitute cereals. An assortment of the substitutes allowed and which you can use without waste is as follows: Barley flour 5 Potato flour 3 Rice flour 2V Buckwheat flour 3 Yellow cornrrwal 3 JH s.wUi .ai-ii. -li-ea. BP PrS a .... By GERTRUDE BERESFORB "T7IIO would want a sweeter sum ii mer frock than this pink and white chiffon cloth, with its trimming of white Georgette crepe? Upon an alysis it is the simplest shirtwaist and skirt, but it is lifted far out of the or dinary by the vest, collar and hem stitched inserts of white. Even the Wall of Troy hem on the vest is a different touch, which will appeal to the discriminating woman right away. Dimity or voile will develop this frock for the "thrifty" who wish a less expensive garment than chiffon cloth. Being thrifty is being patri otic these days, so save your money and buy war saving stamps. 1 - i TrTTr I I I I War-Time Footwear in Holland The manufacture of slippers with wooden soles and cloth tops is a war time industry which has sprung up in Holland, reports the United States Department of Commerce. The up per and inner parts of the slippers are formed of twill, corduroy and woolen stuffs. All these materials are relatively cheap and yet make com fortable and durable slippers. The cloth parts are made by hand and the wooden soles by machinery. In view of the mounting prices of leather footwear, these combination slippers, which retail for the equiva lent of $1 pair for the best quality, are selling rapidly. It is claimed that they are entirely satisfactory for wear in the home and are practicable for women engaged in indoor occupations.

This remarkable product has taken the place ot cow's butter in many thousands of homes and not alone because it costs less but for the reason that all of the family like it better. Its popularity is won on merit and the sale is steadily increasing. Here are a few important things for one to consider. It is made entirely of vegetable oils and milk. It is sweet, wholesome and very nutritious. v It does not get rancid or lose its flavor. It is a delicious spread for toast and bread . It is fine for making cakes and pastry. It will keep firm in warm seasons'. It costs fully 1-3 less than creamery butter. , It is made by experienced butter manufacturers.. Let your next order to your grocer or market man include one, two or three pounds. It comes to you a creamy white because the law requires a tax of 10c a pound if we color it, so we supply with each pound carton a capsule of vegetable coloring (the same used in coloring creamery butter). U. S. Food Administration License No. G-13775 Church Sponsors Club of Lonely War Workers Out of the plaint of a lonely war worker in Washington a large so cial Orcanization is rrvstalliziniy. "How can I make friends?" was the query; the Church of the Covenant, one of the capital's leading churches, sought the answer. It issued an invitation to the newcomers in Washington to meet in its chapel one evening but the chapel proved all too small. Instead of the 300' ex pected, 1,500 people arrived. The purpose of the organization that is Errowiner un out of this first meeting is to afford social interests ior wasningtons vast new popula tion. Officers have been chosen and State prouns formed, with a rhair. man for each; these will determine tne details tor the permanent organ ization and the manner in whirh the --social element will be best de veloped. The oreanization will have its se rious side also. It has already pledged a sum of money for a fund that is to be established for the our- chase of Bibles.
