VAGE SEVEN
Southern Oregon Women to Be Guests at Free Cooking School
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, 5EEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931.
FOR OWN EFFORT
It has taken ft woman home-service
expert to discover that there
U a useful domestic trait hidden
ay In every hubby's heart which
women may do well to cultivate.
That Is, the latent desire to cook.
Most married, women have dis
covered that their husbands really
believe they have talent in culinary
ways and 'bubble over with pride
when they discover that the lamb
chop or sunny-side egg they have
been supervising is really eatable
when turned out on the plate.
The home-service expert points
out that encouragement of thfo de
sire to cook on the part of the man
of the house will inevitably lead to
the purchase of more modern cook
ing and other kitchen appliances,
as men are progressive by nature
and cannot bear to fuss with inef
ficient tools. - which, nevertheless,
they sometimes shortsightedly be-
Jleve are quite sufficient for their
wives.
It is claimed that several local
housewives have lately and unex
pectedly fallen heir to the gift of
handsome electric cooking ranges,
due to this progressive tendency,
(ft the man has tried to excuse his
lack of success In cooking by claim
ing that the range was unreliable
and behind the times, and that he
considered it next to marvelous his
wife could get along with the facili
ties she had been using.
It Is the idea of the home-service
expert that if a man were tied to
a kitchen stove, a greasy dlshpan,
and other old-fashioned housekeep
ing Implements for any length of
time, he would quickly turn to
electric labor-saving appliances to
lessen the drudgery and mess Inci
dental to these dally, never-ending
tasks.

Tears ago the Slectrlc Range was
regarded as "slow" by practically
everybody, Including those who were
responsible for Its exploitation.
The reason why It was thought
slow was that no one had figured out
any change in cooking methods.
Today Electric Cookery is as fast
as any other method of food prepara
tion.
Electric heating units have been
"stepped up" to deliver more heat in
less time and, most Importantly, home
economists have made a very simple
but also very radical change in meth
ods.
They introduced the straight sid
ed, flat-bottomed, covered utensil
that fits the unit and eliminated
practice of Immersing products In
water when cooking. With little or
no water food Is cooked better elec
trically than by any other method,
say local dealers who this week are
showing the now 1932 model "Hos
tess" the latest creation of the Gen
eral Electric engineers and home
economists.

COSTLY FOODS ARE
OFTEN THROWN AWAY
Analysis of what most housewives
regard as waste (the water poured
off of meats and vegetables after or
dinary coking) has been proven by
chemists employed by food conserva
tion authorities to contain minerals,
salts, natural Juices, etc., equivalent
to approximately 30 per cent of the ,
food value of a product cooked In
open pans over flame and Immersed
In water to prevent scorching on the
sides of utensils.
Proponent of Electric Cookery
"The modern method of food prepara
tion" claim a saving In food cost by
reason of the "waterless'' methods
employed In electric cookery. With
closed utensils to prevent moisture
loss through steaming and no pour
ing off of excess water, the electric
method they claim Is the economic
al method.
Demonstrations of the new 1083
model "Hostess" which Is General
Electrtc'a latest contribution to Elec
tric Cookery, are now being made by
local dealers and this wonderful new
electrio range Is also featured at the
Mall Tribune School of Home Eco
nomics at the Holly theatre . this

duct lessons In modern cookery at the Mall Tribune's free school of
Home Economics, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Holly theatre, j.l
Mrs. Hall was Mildred Kitchen of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin.
An Investigation covering thousands
of homes all over the country brings
forth the conclusion that the aver
age American housewife prefers ft
kitchen of color to the conventional
white and that a large majority of
them lean toward cream or buff as
base with green as a trim.
Green In varying shades ranked as
first oholce for one-color kitchens,
while red, at the other end of the
spectrum took last place. The de
fenders of the green, however, almost
unanimously preferred green as a
trim, rather than as an all-over col
or.
Manufacturers of enameled kitchen
utensils report that the results of
this survey are borne out In the pre
ponderance of preference shown by
housewives for utensils of cream or
buff with green handles and beading.
Whether the results of this sur
vey were or were not anticipated by
General Slectrlc stylists Is not known.
If not, then It Is a peculiar coinci
dence that the new Advanced 1032
model GE Hotpoint Electric Range,
now being featured by the California
Oregon Power company and local
dealers Is to be had In cream colored
vitreous enamel with rnsmrt criwn
trimming as well as In the pure white J
euuinei who ouver wmg gray trim.
Many new and exclusive features I
distinguish this new GE creation,
which is being featured at the Mall
Tribune School of Economics at the
Holly theatre this week.

that you can use less than you do of
high priced brands.
You will realize that it is not necessary
to pay war prices for baking powder.
Then try K C yourself. Qive it

But, Oh Boy!
What a Dinner
in the
Electric Oven!
She is looking and feeling ten years younger since
electricity does the work. Remember how tired and
hot she used to be when hubby came home; she always
wore an old dress around the house so she wouldn't
ruin the nice ones she seldom had time to wear.' A
General Electric Hotpoint range changed all that and
electricity costs so very little only a few cents a day
for Electric Range, Refrigerator, Washer, Vacuum
Cleaner and all the other things. The real beauty
doctor for the lady of the house is electricity.
