It is not generally known that Cooking caaba accomplished much quicker, cleanlier, better, and cheaper, by Gas, titan by any other method. The Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and immediate control over the heat, requires but little attention, is always ready, keeps the kitchen and house cool, and is only alight when actually in use. The difference between the of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual, at the present time; for while coals have lately advanced in price 50 PERCENT., GAS IJASBEEN REDUCED TO 12.* Gu. PER 100 >. The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle, by means of a recently lighted coal fire, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each case. Coal used Wood Time Total at 4ds. used, employed. Cost, per ton. With Fire.. Ibs - l-sthofld 1 hour. lid With Gas .. 4 cubic feet at 12s Cd Twenty 3d per 1000. minutes. Therefore, BY THE USE OF GAS there is a saving of nearly TWO TO ONE in money, an economy of TWO-TITIRDS IN TIME, and the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smoke, and dust.
