Since there \ce for water to evaporate s 1 to escape from the cooker, less liquid should be put the food than is required for ordinary methods of cooking. While the food is cooking, you may be oceupled with other duties without fear its burning. Many foods cooked for a longer time #t a Jow temperature, as in this method have a finer and more wholesome than cooked on a stove at a higher crature. This | method saves fucl es working in a hot kitchen To make the cooker, s bullt wooden box, an old s « small barrel, a tin lard can, or a new arbage can With a tight cover, to be ed as the outside container. This must be large enough to allow at least four inches of packing all around the nest. A box long enough to contain two compartments may be used it liked. If this is used. there should be at least six inches of packing between the two nests, and two cushions to cover each nest separately so that one utensil may be removea without' dis turbing the other one. The nest, which is to contain the utensil of hot food, must be considered next. This nest may be made of strong pasteboard cylindrical in shape and as snug as possible to allow the cooking utensil to be moved in and out. If too large, the air space will cool the food. The cardboard forming this eylindrical nest should be lapped and fastened tightl For packing between the nest and the outer container some materia which heat will not s through quickly must be used. . line the box or other container with layers of paper to keep out cold air. Lint, cot ton, wool, shredded newspaper or ex celsior are good for packing. The packing should first be placed in the outside container to a depth of four | inches, then place the cardboard or asbestos for the bottom of the nest. Next place the cardboard cylinder or the asbestos-covered can and hold steady while pressing the packing tightly around it, leaving no alr spaces. When this has reached the top of the mest, cut a piece of card hoard to fit the space, cutting out a circle 1o open the nest. This card hoard cover should be fastened se curely to the nest by pasted strips of cloth or heavy paper. It is well to make a paper cover to keep the board clean and hide the p: strips on top. The space between the top of the nest and the cover of the outside container must be filled with a c 1\ or pad. Make thix the size of the space and stuff with cking mater 1t should be ast four Inches thick and should fust the top tightly enough to pressure when the cover box is used the cover should be on hinges, with a hook to fasten it down. The cover of a ba rel or lard tub may be fastened by means of screw hooks and eves at {ntervals around the top. If a wooden container is used, it will be better jooking If stained or painted a duil dark brown or green. The cooker will be complete When casters have en put on the bottom to make it easily moved. T'o hold the food, any ntensil which has a tight cover and which will fit the mest may be used. There should he no alr spaces left to cause loss of heat. A utensil having straight sides and having the same depth as dlameter is best. Aluminum utensil e good 1o use, because they will r in heat for a long time fMelent cooking will depend upon the reten- tfon of heat. A small quantity of food will not hold as much heat as a larger quantity and will therefore continue cooking for a shorter time. The more nearly full the utensil is of food, the better will the heat be retained.

H It is almost impossible for me to conceive of a baby of 7 months being | fed 10 times daily. To conceive of it calls up all kinds of terrible picture, because it would be well nigh impos- sible for a child to have a normal di- Kestion who had been so badly ove fed for so long u period. The stools, the frequent movements and the colic are all the outcome of these bad habits of feeding, and the way to cure them Is to alter that A baby of 7 months should be fed at 6, 10, 2 and 6 o'clock only and not at all at night. Since it is more than likely that vour breast milk is of poor quality, and as there is little chance of its improving now, the best thing you can do for the baby Is to hegin weaning him and after this, as quickly as is possible without hurt- ing him, to get him onto the other fouds proper for this age. There seems to he a discrepancy in this letter that may explain mat- ters. Your first statement is that the baby is 7 months old.

Two ounces of wa- ter dully is the very most he should have and a pacifier is awful. There Is absolutely no excuse for giving a baby of any age a pacifier.

Foods containing a large quantity of purins are kidney, liver, anchovies, sardines, and thesa should be entirely cut out of the diet The prevailing impression is that those with a tendency to uric acid should depend on vegetables, and this is for the most part correct. Those with urfe acid trouble, however, should re- member that there are few vegetables which are rich in purins and these are asparagus, peas and spinach { A good dlet for gouty conditions in- cludes oranges, soft-cooked eggs, baked potatoes, rice, celery, bread and butter, | baked apples, peaches, wheatena and milk. - Do you know what it means to have your children “free to gain’? This is @ phrase which has been coined by nu tritfon workers and it means that if child is free o gain the following items are true: (1) His teeth are in per- fect condition so that no retarding of digestion will come from decay. (2) His digestion itself is in good order (3) His living conditions are such as to make proper sleep, cleanliness and fresh air possible. In short, his hody must be in good working order and his surroundings such as to keep it so. Mrs. Marie L.
