First, every housewife should get acquainted with the gas meter. The power to read the meter and compute the family gas bill is a safety meas- ture against mistakes, and possible ov- e‘sharges by a gas company, and also enables the housewife to judge what jis the average monthly gas consump- tion and suggests economies, Above is photographed the dia? placed upon the face of every gas meter. .Gas_ is estimated by cubic feet, and its price is ‘based on units of 1,600 cubic feet. In different lo- calities the price of gas differs. Ct- ties having the advantage of a natur- al gas supply are able to use gas at a cost of from thirty to fifty cents a thousand feet. Artificial gas costs from eighty cents to a dollar and a used to measure and keep account of the gas used in each household. Gas bills, when presented, should state the number of feet used, as well-as the charge made. The meter is read once a month by @ gag company employe, who records the meter readings in a book opposite the house owner’s name. ‘ These fig- ures are later compared with the reac ing of the previous month and the bill camputed according to the fg: ures, The meter indicators are NOT returned to zero after each readi They continue to register automati jally, and the amount of gac used eac month is only to he learned by com: paring the figures with those of the previous month, That is why it Is important that both the gas company and the consumer should note the me- ter readings and be sure that thep figures tally. tee, was here today to attend the stat- ed session of the state canvassing board. T. J. Nelson of Dunn Center, {manager of publicity for the joint j campaign committee, also was in the olty yesterday. | Mrs. Corwin Better Mrs. S. W.

SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GAS To read the meter, notice that the dial on the left registers 10,000 cudic feet between the ngures. The sun :of the feet indicated'on the thres dials is the amount used for the month. The meter pictured, there- fore, shows that, as the 1v,000-feei indicator has passed the 5 mark, or 59,000, the 1000-feet indicator has passed the 3 mark and the 100-feet in- dicator is half past the 2 .mark thei total is 53,250 feet. : There are a few important pofhts in handling a gas stove which save gas and money and produce the stove's best service. A stove is one oi tne cook’s tools, and she must understand its fise management. To light a gas stove, strike the match first, turn on the burner and apply the match after che gas ivegins to flow, thus avoiding she “pop” caused by a flame appiiel too soon. To light the oven, opc:. the oven doors, strike the match, turn on and light the leader flame, turn on the back burner of the oven, then the front burner, and, when both are lighi- ed, turn off the leader and close the door. Except when. trying to bring water to a quick boil, or to heat the joven quickly, the flame in all gas urners should be kept low and pro- tected from drafts. In using the oven, heat it with full flame from five to ten minutes food; allow five minutes for the food to heat through, then lower the flame. In using the top burners, guard ‘against the boiling over of water or foods which may get into and clog the burn ‘Should the burners ‘be. come so clogged, they should be re moved from the stove and dboiled in a solution of hot soda water, # here artificial gas is used, it is well to have an expert employe from the gas company blow out and clean the pipes and burners of the stove once or twice each year, and visiting Pythians are planning to attend. In Good Condition Mrs. F. A. Copelin, who is suffer- ing from an attack of influenza at St. Elexius ‘hospital, is still quite ill, but. her condition is showing favorable de- velopments.

Lowest last night . ‘Three of the most exquisite instru- mental records made are to be heard among the December group of Co- lumbia Records which are now going on sale at dealers. The first of thepe A records is made by no less than the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra play- ing selections from “Carmen” and “Tl Trovatore.” The second is by the world famous Trio de Lutece, a mini- ature ensemble of famous musicians led by George Barrere, the world’s greatest flute player. They play the incomparable melodies “Spring Song” (Mendelssohn) and Beethoven's “Minuet.” The third carries two ‘marvelously beautiful clarinet solos by Thomas Hughes, the most notable of which is “Scenes That Are Bright- est,” from “Maritana.” : Two other records of especial note in the December group are of operatic arias. One, the brilliant “Parigi O Cara,” from Traviata, is sung with tremendous dramatic power by, Bar- rientos and Lazaro; the other is the great barytone solo from the “Ballo in Maschera"—“Alla Vita”—sung by Stracciari. i Barbara Maurel, the young singer whose debut here recently has created so much comment in musicai circles, also contributes two beautiful lulla- bies on one of the new Columbia Rec-' ords. They are “Song of the Chimes” and “The Slumber Boat.” No December group of records would be complete without its Christ- mas selections. This year ‘Columbia has been particularly fortunate in se- curing a radiant and joyous collec- tion of Christmas music, arranged for voices, jorchestra‘ and chimes by Robert ‘Hood “Bowers. Mr. Bowers’ adaptation of these Christmas melo- dies and the weaving of them into a background of original-.composition with descriptive instruments give tausical gems of year-long enjoyment. Every family should have “Memories of Christmas,” Part 1 and 2, by Piince’s Descriptive Orchestra, with contralto solo and male quartette. Another timely record. is played by Prince’s Orchestra with ‘the: title “Christinas Chimes.” The chimes are by Howard Kopp. Records of popular songs are as numerous as’ they are good. They include such favorites as “For Your Boy aad My Boy,” sung by Peerless Quartette, with “Uncle: Sammie” on for your TALKING MACHINE mg the reverse, sung by Arthur Fields. Two mighty good songs of the South- land in “Caroline, I’m Coming Back to You” and “In 1960 You'll Find Dixie Looking Just the Same” and “If I'm Not at the Roll Call,” the latter a song that promises to equal in popu- larity the famous “Just Before the Battle, Mother,” of Civil War fame. Campbell and Burr made this latter melody, on the back of which is a modern version of “Old Black Joe.” Gus Van contributes a most remark- able singing of a most humorous song in his own droll fashion when he es- says “Beans, Beans, Beans.” On the other side is “I’m Too Tired to Make Love,” by this same jolly comedian. The accompaniment is in a class en- tirely its own. Two other good rec- ords‘are “While You're Away,” by Henry Burr and Peerless Quartette, and a coupling of old love songs in “Where Have You Been Hiding All These Years” and “Give Me All of You.” The latter song is the well known hit of “Flora Bella.” Among the dance, records in the Columbia December List are to be found two corking Marimbaphone records—“Tishimingo Blues” and “Hear dem Bells”; two syncopated melodies by the famous ilbur Sweatman’s Original Jazz Band, one being the “Rock-a-Bye Baby” from “Sinbad,” and the other the well known “Drattin’ Blues.” Then there is a rollicking quadrille in two parts entitled “Sailor's Joy,” played by Prince’s Orchestra; a medley fox trot introducing “Smiles” and “Mandy ‘and Me,” and a one-step of “When You Come Back, and ‘You Will Come Back,” played ‘by Prince’s Band. _yA vocal gem among these records is one carrying two harmonies of ex- quisite beauty by the Columbia Mixed Quartette. One selection is “In the Sweet Bye and Bye;” the other, “A Thousand Years,” two melo- dies of haunting beauty which these perfectly balanced’ voices render. with charm that is inimitable. Last but not least among the Co- imbia December Records are two splendid selections played by the popular Naval Reserve Band, Ted by Leader Shannon himself. One .of these, “A Slippery Place,” is without doubt creo! shes most startling. and interesting musical “stunt” pieces ever recorded, tent upon doing what she h to do. She is Bismarck’s ing nurse, and she hopes to bla way for a permanent anti-tuber clinic here, with a visiting nurse con- stantly in charge. Her survey has been delayed because of the recent in- fluenza epidemic, but she expects, he- for she completes her duties, to have inspected every large city in North; Dakota Tuberculosi js rare in Bismarck, doubtless because of the altitude of the city, the absence of moisture and the rarity of the atmosphere, but Miss Farley will include in her sur- vey an inspection of all health condi- tions affecting child welfare.
