is a good slogan for any industry. But it is a
very timely one right now for the electrical
industry.
Everyone wants good electrical service and every
one will get good electrical service, but they must
be shown that unless a central station or lighting
company is allowed to earn on a full and proper
value and not on a depreciated value that central
station or lighting company cannot continue to
serve in a proper and efficient manner.
Let every man who has a stake in the industry
take this fact to heart and convince his neighbors
and friends.. .Put your shoulder to the wheel and
then get every one to do likewise.

HAVE YOU A FIRELESS COOKERT
Any housekeeper In country or city
cannot afford to be without a cooker.
The patented
ones made to
hold the heat for
rousting and bak
ing are of course
the best, but one
may make one
from a box, a
candy pall or an
old trun'-. The outside cover should
be tight .id ti'e packing material, any
packable nonconducting material, like
paper, excelsior, cork, sawdust or even
hay. In these days of economy a bale
of hay was placed In the woodshed of
one country woman, she cut out n
place for a good-sized utensil with a
tight cover, made a cushion of hay and
used that homemade cooker all the
season, then the cow ate It. Surely
this Is a good type of economy.
If a box or pall Is to be used, pack
the lining firmly around the utensil to
be used. One which Is tapering to
ward the bottom removes better from
the well. Make a collar of cardboard
to fit the top and leave space to slip
the pail In and out easily. Kor a
cushion use any of the above material.
If the well or pocket to hold the pail
is lined wllh asbestos 'paper It will
save heat.
Cereal cooked in a tireless If one has
soapstones to p-it into the cooker or
if not set Into a dish containing boil
ing water, will be cooked much better,
tastes belter and Is much more whole
some than the twenty minutes to a
half hour usually given such dishes on
the stove. Cot the cereal cooking nt
night and when boiling hot put into
the cooker. In the mornlnir hist n-
heating Is all that is needed to serve
a ' hot well-rooked food. The soap,
stone dish which may be used in the
fireproof cookers increases the heat
as it can be heated hotter than the
boiling point and when shut up In the
cooker retains beat six to eight hours.
Let it get very hot but not red, for
fear of cracking, l'lace one at the
bottom nml one on top of (1 (si of
meat and one may bake any roast to a
turn. Broads, pies, puddings am
cakes may be baked equaUy well.

You can't beat a Camel, because you can't beat the '
tobacco that goes into Camels.
That's why Camels are the choice of men who
Know and love fine tobacco. They know what makes
Camels so smooth, so fragrant and mellow-mild.
They'll tell you that the expert Camel blend of
choice Turkish and Domestic tobaccos makes a ciga
rette smoke you can't equal no matter what you pay.
But it doesn't take an expert to tell Camel quality.
You'll spot it the very first puff. Try Camels yourself.

HARD ON THE POETS
MTM SCHEDULED to recite 'Anna
1 bel Lee' at an entertainment to
night," confessed the retired merchant
"I've been repeating the poem to myself
almost constantly for several day Bnd
know every comma In It, but I'm
afraid that when
I stand up to re
cite, I'll have for
gotten every ward
of it."
"I hope soi," said,
the hotelkeeper.
"Such a poem an
'Annabel Lee' de
serves better
treatment than
you are Qualified
to give it. You
have a voice like
a guinea hen, and
yon telescope your
words, and you
don't know any more about poetry
than a porcupine knows about Para
dise. If you'd stand up and recite a
few pages from a mall-order catalogue
I have no doubt you'd put ttfe proper
feeling into It, and move your audi
ence to tears, but it's a crime for a
man like you to mangle a beautiful
poem, full of sentiment and melody.

that sort of thing. Some of the best
poems in the country have been ruined
by common or garden elocutionists.

mention 'Curfew Must Not Ring To
night.' It has been recited so much
by people with cracked voices that it
has become a joke. Yet if you exam
ine the poem calmly and Impartially
you will find that It has a great deal
of merit.
In the schools the pupils aro per
mitted to recite some of our best
poems, and the poems aren't lit for
anything after it. The school author
ities should prohibit this sort of thing,
and prepare a volume of cheap asbes
tos poetry that Is fool proof, that can't
be injured, no matter what you do to
It. There Is plenty of punk poetry in
the world, and a collection ot this
stuff would serve the schoolboy elo
cutionists Just as well as the high
class poetry that Is so easily spoiled.

this boy was down for a recitation.
The teacher never naked hltn what ho
was going to reclle, but gave him tlu
right of way. Teachers continue to
make the same mistake, even as we go
to press. They should choose th
poems which nre to lie butchered to
make a Human holiday arid select
something that won't rip, ravel or run
down at the heel.

there Is nothing bettor In any lan
guage. It Is rather melancholy, but it
has a sort of doggone soothing qual
ity that Is a balm to the bruised spirit
of a landlord when be finds that the
receipts of his hotel don't equal tho
