USING THE GAS STOVE.

Remember that too' much water in a. kettle means waste of gas. Never put in more than you need. It saves gas to light tlie match or taper before opening tile oven door, and before turning on the gas. A flame that is allowed to flicker up the sides of saucepans or kettles moans so mush wasted gas; it isn’t helping them to boil.

After roasting or baking in the oven, as soon as the stove is sufficiently cool, rub the wdiole of the inside well with pads of newspaper. Then wash out with hot soda water. In this way you will prevent the unpleasant smell so many gas stoves excel in! Broad and shallow vessels are the most economical to use on gas. for they give a wide heating surface to the flame. Never put your kettle to boil oh the griller unless it is of the square base variety; a griller consumes far more gas than the circular burners. Of course, if you are using the griller for grilling', put a kettle on the top—that is the only sensible thing to do!
