in the country very early in the morn- ing? Then you must have noticed that from the chimney of each

smoke. That meant that some early riser was beginning the new day with the little sacrament of lighting the household fire.

‘_ .As soon as we arise for the day. we think cf breakfast. for we have afast ‘to break. but we are too civilized to ieat our breakfast raw: a fire must be to‘ cook it. Therefore. all ov- or the world the rising sun is greeted by smoke from the chimneys of mil- ‘llons oif homes.

-. In times past, this ﬂrc was kindled 9n the fioori or outside the door on thfbare ground. but we, being wiser, but our fire iin that iron be: which -wie_call a stove. There it would be kale enough. no doubt, if we did not ‘use iit .wi_th that reckless carelessness of which you have read in all these lessons. _

Early in ‘the morning the cook, or someone else. comes into the kitchen

. with; the sleep scarcely out of her

eyes. She puts newspapers and kind- ‘lings into the stove and lights them, then adds a little coal. Soon there is heist enough for the breakfast to be cooked.

Up to this point ieverytl-llng has been safe enough. but it never seems to occur to some cooks that great care is required in frying and broiling, be- cause fat is brought close to the ﬂame, and fatvwill most readily take firs; If this should happen. there maybe no danger unless the cook becomes excited and allows the burn- iﬁg fatto fall upon the ﬂoor. It is -wel1 to remember not to use water upon burning fat because it may i "' the ﬂames. The best way to smother these fialnse is with a metal cover. When fat takes fire. it does so_with a suddden leap of ﬂame; thelefroe, neither paper nor cloth should ever be kept near to the stove.

i Red-hot Stoves? Never!

In the course of the day the sieve is filledwitlrcosl again and again. incl-dis’ food to be belied and roast- edf water to be boiled. preserves to be put on, and no end of other things liq m done. It is a common fault with ma y cooks to let the sieve get red hot. which is about the worst possible thing that can be doneﬁ: a stove. There is no excuse for a red-hot stove. none whatever! Fuel is wasted; the stove becomes warped and danger lurks forfall who are in the house.

Some people place papers below the burpers of gas-or kerosene-ranges in order to catch the drlppings. Of course, these persons would realise that they lmolv better if they would

oniyi stop to think.

Recautinns in the disposal clashes have already been explained, but the cleaning of the stove is also a fire peril. ‘Many kinds of sieve-polish contain gasoline or benzirle. both of which-arc highly inﬂammable sub- stances. They are used for cleaning purposes because they are what are called; "good solvents." which means that they dissolve dirt as hot water dissolves sugar. We all know that if a. little sugar is caked on a plate, it

can -_be_ dissolved by hot water and

then easily wiped away. leaving the

plate perfectly clean. For the same

reason, the dirt on the stove can be

wiped away after it has been dis-

solyed._but berlzins is loo dangerous

for use about a stove.

There are safe polishes. and these

should be asked for. since hundreds

of serious, accidents have come from

using bcnzinestove polishes. Even

then it is s. good rule never to bring

polialrnear to a hot sieve; it is a

good safety-habit.

Look ,0nt For Cleaning Compounds! Many other cleaning compounds these stove polishes. because they contain the-same inﬂammable ingredients. It

A home-made rain-gauge is easily constructed. and fairly accurate. Poul into a cylindrical glass vessel la candy bottle will do) twenty-nine and one- half ﬂuid ounces of water and marl its height, with a glass cutter. on the outside of the bottle. This represents one-inchof rainfall. Pour in a simi- lar amount to represent the second inch andmark again. Sub-divide eacll "inch" ‘carefully into tenths. make a funnel iof tin or copper ex- actly eight inches in diameter and insert in the vessel. Means must be found to prevent the gauge from blowing over ‘or the funnel ‘from blow- ing ca. It is well w establish a habit
