THE ELECTRIC KITCHEN. An electric kitchen was once only a thing to dream about and long for, but to-day electric power is so cheap and there are' so many electric labour-sav-ing appliances to be bought or hired, that this dream has now come true and electricity can be used in every home. For cooking there is nothing to equal the Electric Stove. The absence of any soot keeps the walls and ceiling of the kitchen spotlessly clean and thus saves that extra housework so common where coal is used. The absence of fumes keeps the kitchen nice and fresh. All foods can be cooked more evenly on an Electric Stove, for one can judge exactly how long everything will take to cook, knowing that “ medium heat ” keeps the oven at a certain temperature tor a certain time and “ low heat ” keeps pans simmering. Thus even the plainest foods become more appetising and delicious, for such heat prevents them from becoming dry and burnt. Electric Stoves can be purchased from any electrical constructor or from the Municipal Electricity Department, corner Manchester and Armagh Streets, where cooking demonstrations are held every Monday and Thursday afternoon from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m., and on Wednesday morning from 10 a.m. till 12 noon. All ladies are cordially invited to ' attend these demonstrations, at which close personal instruction is given. i>272
