Vluch Heat, Well Shut In
i Cooks Food In Fireless
"fo cook food well in a fireless
cooker means that plenty of heat
must be shut up with the food. Food
that is made as hot as possible on
the; stove and then put immediately
into the cooker, stays hot and keeps
on cooking. The walls of the fireless
cooker keep the heat in just as the
walls of a good refrigerator keep
the heat out.
. Some suggestions for economy in
the life of the fireless cooker are
made by Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones
of the agricultural extension serv
ice of the University of Wisconsin.
Have the food and the soapstone
disks as hot as possible when they
are put in the cooker, says Mrs.
Jom:s.
J If the food that requires long
cooking cools before it is finished,
reheat it and return it to the cooker.
, Reheat the food before serving,
ifnecessary.
If only a small quantity of food
is being cooked, it cools quickly. To
avoid this, either the disks may be
put in, or a small vessel containing
the food may be placed in the regu
lar cooking vessel and surround with
hot water.
Soaostone disks increase the use
fulness of the cooker. They can
Vt heated hotter than the boiling
nnint of water and when shut uo in
the fireless furnish heat to cook the
food. With one disk below and one
above the cooking vessel, meat may
be roasted, and bread or puddings
may be baked. Without the disks,
the fireless will cook only foods that
can be cooked in water, suc,h as
- cereals, beans, pot roasts, stews.

Hubby Would Dress Her Like
Old Woman; Wants a Divorce
Reading, Pa. Clothes may not
make the lady, but they certainly
make the divorce courts work over
time sometimes, as attested by two
divorce suits filed' here. The allega
tion that her .husband wanted her
to dress like an "old woman" to
other men would pass her by is the
basis of the suit of Mabel E. Heck

by his spouse. Nettie C. Bush.
Ghost On Rampage
In an Irish Home
Dublin. Hundreds of people are
flocking to the home of a protes
tant family, near Omagh, where the
district is in ferment as the result of
destructive daylight raids by a
"ghost" The trouble began last
September when bricks began to
fall down the chimney and orna
ments were broken without visible
agency. In the past few weeks the
activities of the "ghost have greatly
increased. Windows are broken,
pots smashed, bricks come tumb
ling down on the floor and dis
appear. While the frightened
owner was looking at his clock the
hands dissappeared.
Poisoning House Ants
Is Best Way to Control
First find the trail to the ant nest,
or the nest itself; then destroy the
nest or place poison along the trails.
This is the advice the economic
entomologists of the College of Ag
riculture are giving to the many
housewives who are writing about
the unusually large number of house
ants this spring. The treatment is
equally effective for large or small
black ants, red ants or the tiny yel
low ants.
If poison sweets are set along the
trails, the ants will carry poison to
the nest and feed it to the faying
queen and brood before they die of
the poison themselves. This will-
completely do away with the ants.
The poison mixture is one part of
tartar emetic to 10 parts of sugar
dissolved in 100 parts of water, or
combined with cold lard or some
such grease so that it will not
evaporate rapidly. The poison should
be spread on chips of wood or
pieces of glass and placed on ant
trails out of the way of pet ani
mals. Where the trail to the nest is eas
ily found the ants can be entirely
destroyed by applying carbon bi
sulphide to the nest towards dusk,
when he workers are at home. With
a stick make three holes from three
directions on the edge of the nest
and towards the center. As quickly
as the stick is withdrawn each time,
pour in an ounce of the poison and
immediately close with damp earth
so that neither ants nor gas "can
come out. Wet sacks laid over the
nest will help hold the fumes. (Car
bon bi-sulphide should be handled
carefully, as it is highly inflamma
ble.) Ant proof cupboards and remov
ing of attractive food from the reach
of ants will cause the ants to stop
working in the house, as a rule.

Greek Letter Men Are
Kept Track of During
the Big War in France
By ALBERT B. ELLIOTT.
New York, June 28 How one
college Greek letter fraternity kept
track of its thousands of men in the
American expeditionary forces; held
fraternity meetings in tents, barns,
secluded ravines and other impro
vised quarters, often under heavy
shell fire; initiated men in France,
who had left chapters in this coun
try to join the army before they
had attained to full membership;
and actually held a chapter meeting
and an initiation in an ancient castle
on the Rhine, is the story told by
William C. Levere, of Evanston, 111.,
late Y. M. C. A. secretary and na
tional secretary of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon. His auditors were a group
of several score New York business
men, alumni of S. A. E. chapters in
over 30 states, who gathered to hear
this tale of fraternity life so weirdly
different from anything they had
known "in the old days."
"Billy" Levere, as he is affection
ately known to the 20 odd thousand
"Sig Alphs" in this country, saw
20 months "Y" service in France
during which he was stationed suc
cessively at Neufchateau, Toursj at
the front, in England and at An
dernach on the Rhine with the army
of occupation.
"My first day on duty at Neuf
chateau," he said, "a young lieu
tenant came in whom I spotted as a
college man. Upon inquiry, I found
that he was an S. A. E. from a mid
dle western chapter. 'I know your
national secretary, Billy Levere,' I
remarked.
" 'Yes, I know him well,' replied
the young officer.
"Ve talked a few moments longer,
when I remarked: 'I'm Billy Levere.'
My uniform had, been a perfect dis
guise, for I later remembered having
visited this man's chapter less th?n
a vear before, and he knew me quite
well."
In this subsequent 20 months'
work, "Billy" met hundreds of the
khaki-clad wearers of the diamond-
shaped S. A. E. pin. He encountered
them in billets, in training areas, at
aviation and artillery schools and u&.
in front line trenches. Whenever a
few of them happened to be in the
same section, fraternity meetings
vere arranged. These were attended
by officers as well as privates, and
were staged in tents, ruined houses
and any shelter that was to be found.
Failing even these, groups of S. A.
E's. met at night outdoors in some
secluded spot.
Pigeons Come Promptly
to Morning Meal at Nine
New York One doesn't need a
clock to. tell when it's precisely 9
a. m. in the office of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James Smith, on the
third floor of the Criminal Courts
building. For at just that precise
hour every morning a flock of pi
geons alights on the window sill
looking for breakfast. And the
birds are never disappointed. Corn
and other grain and bread crumbs,
with peanuts sometimes for dessert,
invariably await. Then they top off
with a drink of distilled water no
common, garden rariety of water for
those birds and they fly away, not
to be seen again till the next morn
ing. "Ike" Van Leer, who for yeart
has been confidential clerk in Mr.
Smith's office, is the one to whom
the pigeons are indebted for their
daily breakfast. At first only a
couple of the birds paid regulat
daily visits to the Criminal Courti
building, but now, according to Mr,
Van Leer, "there's a whole flock."
They consume almost 10 pounds ol
corn a week, not to mention tin
distilled water.
Egg Travels From Ohio
All the Way to England
Bellefontaine, O. Mrs. C. F.
Schumacher, living near this city,

on one of the eggs she wrote net
name and address. She has received
a letter from Miss Bertha Ramsdert,'
22 years of age, of Bellevue. Wake
field, England. The English girl
said she was working in a munitions
factory at the time she purchased

The one feature of the

worth-while coal saving. No
tice the fire-pot to the left. The
side-walls are vertical and
the draft passes up them,
clear to the top, burning ALL
the coal. That, mind you, is
De Vol's Syphon System. To
the right we show the fire pot
from the average furnace with
the walls SLOPING inward at
bottom, as shown. You can see
for yourself that the draft misses
that part around the upper edge.
Dead ashes accumulate on this
slope and Radiation and heat

PARE MOW!
' Now is the time of think of these things. If you
wait till later in the year, labor will be scarce; costs
will likely be a good deal higher. And during the
long, cold months of Winter it will be too late. We
cannot hope to give you even a good idea of this
new, better heating plant in this advertisement.
But if you'll just write, or phone, or use the
coupon printed here for your convenience, we'll atnd
you ilustrated and fully descriptive literature. And
if you'll just send a rough floor plan of your home,
we can estimate about the cost of changing from the
present unsatisfactory, wasteful system to this new
and periemy satistactory pian.
