ih'Vpv boew troubled with tbe stove smok¬ 
ing, mill it Wits odorless, but 1 tinally 
decided that if there was a stove that 
would make a hotter flame I would «et 
it. I went to a number of different 
stores and saw a number of stoves 
demonstrated, and got tho experience of 
friends who used oil stoves. 
The long chimney type of stove did not 
give a hot enough flame for heating irons, 
cooking a large kettle of potatoes, or 
processing a boiler of cold pack vege- 
i a hies, and the stove was not strong 
enough built to bold a boiler of water. 
1 was fearful the weight would cause the 
legs to give out. 1 went to see a new type 
of stove manufactured by the same com¬ 
pany, which is being advertised widely 
ibis year. That made Iho hot flame, but 
I (lid not feel the stove was strongly con¬ 
structed. and it does take more oil than 
the old long-chimney stove I had before. 
The stove which burns either oil or 
gasolinp, and forms a vapor, which is 
carried into metal rings, was the stove I 
finally decided on. I have used the stove 
six months, and I am sure I made a wise 
decision. When T bought the stove I 
told the dealer I would take it only on 
condition that he would bring it up— 
seven miles—sot it up and start it goiug 
for me. He said be would if he could 
find the time, 1 am sure that half of my 
success with my stove was his coming 
and lighting the first fire in it. He has 
used one in his own home for seven years, 
and he knows the stove. He adjusted it; 
in all he spent about two hours working 
at the stove before be lighted it. My 
husband worked with him, and he ex¬ 
plained the mechanism of the stove to 
him. 
This stove does not use as much oil as 
the old long-chimney stove which I had; 
it gives a hotter flame, and I have heated 
a boiler of wash water on it every wash 
day since I had the stove. The water 
boils quicker than ou a wood fire. It is 
well constructed, and if I should ever 
have gas the gas could he piped into the 
stove. The metal rings themselves bold 
considerable heat. They get red hot, and 
a tea kettle of water will keep hot on it 
for a number of hours. 
My stove has a warming shelf which 
gets quite warm, and if food is covered 
it will keep warm on this shelf for some 
time. There is a white back, back of the 
stove, aud this is easily kept clean. It 
saves foods from splashing onto the wall, 
and is nice to look at. There is also a 
white tray under the burners, which 
catches anything that falls, and this also 
is easy to keep clean. I have used a 
portable oven to do all my baking this 
Summer, aud the results have been as 
satisfactory as baking in ray wood range. 
I never was able to hake broad on my 
old oil stove. The heat did not seem to 
be strong enough, aud I cop Id not bake 
pies on it. Now I use the same portable 
oven, and have baked all of my bread 
and pies all Summer in it. This stove 
seems to give a stronger beat, one that 
bakes ovenlv, and does not burn on the 
bottom. I ‘ turn the lights up to heat 
oven, then turn them down about half 
to bake the bread. Pies bake brown, and 
hake quickly. 
Of course it take a little practice to 
do a good job baking in a portable oven, 
and a good oven thermometer would be a 
help. Baking this way does not heat up 
tin 1 kitchen; it is quickly done, as the 
oven heats while the batter is being mixed 
or the pies made. It is no trouble with 
an oil Stove and oven to bake biscuits 
for supper or make a short cake in a 
hurry. . . ., 
1 bad a one-burner oven with my out 
stove, bur it was uot practicable, unless 
one can have two ovens. For a pudding 
,,r scalloped dish or something of that 
sort it was all right, but it was not hot 
enough for even baking a cake

Dill Pickles 
Mv way of making dill pickles in the 
home is as follows: Fse four or five 
gallon jar and rain water. I nt m salt 
and stir to dissolve it. When the water 
gets pretty tasty with salt, it is enough. 
Then put in a layer of dill, stalk ana 
leaves, some grapevines and leaves, and 
then the cucumbers. If you have bought 
them in quantities, put them up at once, 
or if yon have yotlr own vines, add to 
them from day to day as you pick them. 
Midway in the jar put in more dill and 
grapevines, and cover the t*>p with grape 
leaves, then with a doth tucked down 
well around the edges. Then put ill in¬ 
verted plate or small pieces of board and 
weight. I’sually I set mine on Cellar 
floor, and don’t disturb tilt holidays. Then 
: kirn off carefully, remove weight and 
plate, lake the cloth off carefully and 
wash. Take out a dozen or two of the 
ph kies aud a little brine to keep them in 
until they are used, and cover the remain¬ 
der as in tlie first place. 
To prepare dill pickles in two quart 
jars, sterilize jars and covers. Leave 
cucumbers ill cold water over night, or 
bring them in fresh from the vines. Put 
dill In bottom of jars and pack in cucum¬ 
bers. Put in some small ones to fill iu. 
and 1 like three or four pickling onions 
to the jar. Have ready and boiling one 
quart vinegar and one-half cup salt. Wrap 
doth around jar and pour in slowly to 
allow vinegar to filter ill around cucum¬ 
bers; fill to overflowing, put Oil rubbers 
and seal. Turn jar over and roll it to 
allow all encumbers to get the action of 
vinegar aud salt, and they will be line 
dills. * MRS. II. L. D,

Protect Your Precious Teeth 
In stormy weather your family is protected by rubber clothes 
and boots to prevent colds and other diseases. 
In good weather or bad, the enamel of your teeth (the pro¬ 
tective outer covering) needs to be cared for against the constant 
attack of decay. Mothers and school teachers should see that the 
teeth are brushed at least twice a day with a safe dental cream, to 
remove food particles in which the harmful decay germs breed. 
The U. S. Public Health Service says that a dental cream 
should not contain grit. Harsh grit in a dentifrice may dam¬ 
age the precious protective enamel. You can be sure of a safe and 
sensible, non-gritty, drugless dental cream, suitable for all the 
family, when you buy Colgate’s Ribbon Dental Cream.

"Washes” and Polishes —

Colgate’s contains a specially prepared fine chalk. It has no harsh grit, no 
strong drugs or chemicals. The refreshing, delicious flavor makes 
tooth brushing a pleasure.
