Every Housewife Is Invited to Enjoy Three-Day Cooking School

Modern Electric Range
Emancipator of Wife
From Kitchen Slavery
(Continued from Page Tan)
which seems almost super-human
and actually acta like the "Phan
tom Maid" It has been called . in
that It does the work of a person
present, turning on the current at
the time desired and again cutting
It off at the correct time. This
simply means that the housewife
can prepare a wholesome meal, place
It In the oven end go about any
of the other duties or pleasures that
she may plan and know that there
wilt be a good health-bulldlng meal
ready when meal time arrives.
No more snatches of this and that
set on the table in a hurry when
she returns from shopping, bridge,
golf, gardening or any of the several
things she might have been doing
during the afternoon. She doesn't
necessarily ave to go away from
home to use this time control often.
When she is sewing, for Instance,
it is a wonderful -?llef to gu ahead
with her problem without thinking
of having to stop and watch the
process of cooking dinner. Many
women love to work with flowers
and certainly do appreciate freedom
to stay out of doors for hours with
out a thought of "what shall I fix
for lunch." And gardening does
develop a ravenous appetite which
will be entirely satisfied with the
type of meal she can prepare in
this manner.
For business women the automatic
heat and time controls are nothing
short of a blessing, if these women
happen to be keeping the home
running too Meals can bo planned J
for each week, the materials pur- j
chased to advantage, stored In their
electric refrigerator for perfrt pres
ervation and economy, and croked
Just right to be ready when the
family arrives for dinner.
This is almost impossible for a
woman to accomplish, along with
regular down-town business unless
she hires a maid or arranges to
leave her work early, and then comes
home to a tiring job at the end of
the day. By the use of her auto
matically controlled oven she comes
home to a hot meal, complete with
dessert, and la refreshed and rested
for the evening.
Heat control is also a fire protec
tion and as such enters into the
modern class of "fool proof" devices.
This brings us to, the thought of
economy. There are several points
to be considered under this head
ing. In dollars and cents we have
mentioned that a survey among
several thousand users scattered over
this country, shows the average elec
trlo cooking bill to be around A4.50
a month.- This, using a basl of
. three meals , a day for, an average
family of five, means a cost of about
one cent per meal per person. This
is very reasonable, particularly con
sidering the advantages we have
mentioned above. But there are
other real tangible economies which
we shall consider, all of them proven
facts.
RaIaium nf ftmn. Tlmn can Cer
tainly be used for saving money In
many ways, xor instance, ohuhh"o
personally, bargain opportunities
looked into, part time work, work
done around the home which other
wise would require outside help,
time for study, gling lessons at
home, etc., eta
The saving In foods Is remarkable.
T im Ifnnmn t.Vt. mAflta fO&flted In
an electric oven shrink from 17 to
20 per cent less than In fuel ranges
This Is because the oven, being
moist and without a circulation of
air, keeps the Juices In the meat
Itself. This is a real saving since

amount in a month's time.

Redecorating the walls ol the
modern electrically equipped kitchen
Is a matter governeu ay
MthAc than nACeaaltV these
days and does not have to be taken
into the budget regularly aa an
am nrMtirv fnr the UDkeeo of
the home There Is no occasion for
the walls and woodwork being naaiy
discolored or worn from scrubbing
for a long time after the first finish
ing. This saving of food, pans, deco
rating expense, along with time and
i.w -nartniniv nVinuld be considered
In the discussion of the economical
advantages of electric cookery.
It Is considered "smart" to be
economical these days, but by eco
nomical in this sense we mean that
we should use good, common sense
in choosing the very latest improve
ment which combines efficiency with
good looks and makes each article
which we purchase hold Ita place
in the estimation of family and
friends.
NUTRITION EXPERT
soma In an electrlo refrigerator, every
bit can be ut Hired. It la the absence
of waste . which makes the buying of
seasonable fruits and vegetables an
economy, believe these two experts.
Miss Estrlla Dorgan, home service
director ol the California Oregon
Power company, aald In connection
with food spoilage due to improper
refrigeration: "The nation's food
waste is tremendous. 10 to 15 per cent
of the average family's yearly food
expenditure of approximately 9600.00
is thrown away. An appreciation of
the tremendous loss can be obtained
If this waste Is multiplied by the mil
lions of families in the United States
It has been sold that the food losses
due to spoilage in this country alone
would feed a good sized nation."
Catch the vitamins both In winter
and In summer if you would be
healthy, Is the advice of nutrition
experts.
Although the surest way of getting
enough of each kind of vitamin and
mineral we need in our diet. Is to
partake liberally of milk, fresh frulU
and vegetables, these are bought only
when In season because they are be
lieved to be too expensive at other
times.
"But they need not' be expensive,"
says Ruetta Day Blinks, specialist in
food marketing for the Home and
Ada M. Field, specialist in nutrition.
"In most communities, consider
how many vegetables and fruits are
available even In winter. Of the veg
etables, on can make a selection of
lettuce, rorr.aine, cabbage, kale, cel
ery, brussels sprouts, escarole, spin
ach, cauliflower, carrots, turnips,
turnip tops and squash. Among the
fruits one can have apples, oranges,
grapefruit, grapes, bananas, pears,
avocados, lemons, pineapples and
winter melons.
"It appears that there are even
more leafy green vegetables In winder
than in summer. The citrus fruits.
rich In the elusive vitamin O are
plentiful."
In the opinion of the two experts,
the expense comes, in the spoilage,
rather than in the price.
, "The warm, dry air of our heated
houses and apartments starts to wilt
and shrive! our vegetables almost
before the grocer's boy has left the
door.
"The wa to keep greens crisp Is to
wrap them In parchment or waxed
paper, or store them in a covered
container 'nslde an electric refriger
ator. A week's supply can be kept
perfectly. At a temperature of less
than 60 degrees every leaf will remain
crisp and fresh."
The experts explained that there
need be no waste. Even very small
left over pieces of fruit and vegetables
can be used In mixed salads or the
fruit in cocktails and gelatine des
serts. Practically every piece of the tough
outer portions of lettuce, escarole,
cabbage and celery which usually wilt
and are thrown away, if kept fresh,
can be used by being shredded for
salad or by being put into soup or
stew.
When the seasonable fruits and
vegetables are kept crisp and whole-
POOR LIGHTS IN
A survey made recently throughout
the nation shows that the lighting in
the average kitchen Is entirely inade
quate. It la reported that more than
three,-fourths of all kitchens are
poorly lighted, causing eye strain and
headaches and making kitchen work
hard and disagreeable, '
In line with a national effort now
under way to lighten the housework
and improve living conditions gener
ally local electric dealers are featur
ing the new "kitchen daylight" type
of lighting fixtures. These new units
are not only highly efficient but very
economical to install and operate ac
cording to many modern housewives
who are already enjoying the con
venience and satisfaction of a prop
erly lighted kitchen.
INT
Local women who attend the Mall
Tribune school of economics to be
held here October 23, 33 and 34 will
witness an advance showing of the
last word in modern kitchen equip
ment, the new Hotpolnt Hostess elec
rlc range. This beautiful new product
of General Electrlo combines all of
the best features of the former series
of Hotpolnt ranges and presents sev
eral attractive new features which
promise to score a hit with alt who
sea this range for the first time. The
premier showing of the "Hotpolnt
Hostess" is but one of the many items
of Interest In store for Jackson coun
ty housewives who attend the Mall
Tribune school of home economics
which will open at the Holly theatre
auditorium tomorrow afternoon.
USE ELECTRICITY
The progresslveness of Medford
housewives is clearly evidenced by
their adoption of the latest modern
cooking equipment, the electric
range, say Copco officials. Figures se
cured 'rom the local power company
show that over 35 per cent of the
electrlo customers In this territory
cook with electricity. This means thnt
more than one out of every three I
families in Medford uses an electrlo
range, a remarkable showing and one
which compares favorably with any
city In the United States. Under the
exceptionally low cooking rates of
the Call lorn ia Oregon Power Com
pany, it la possible for local neople
to enjoy the comfort and conveni
ence of an electrlo range at a very
nominal cost, it Is pointed out by
the utility officials.
