' . Modern Automatic' Gas Ranges Easy To Keep Beautiful Not only are modern automa tic gas ranges beautiful they're e&sy to. keep that way.. There's no ' more scraping, scrubbing and scratching. New ly developed finishes, modern design eliminating most crevi ces, removable racks and burn ers' and broilers these are the reasons you can keep your gas range a dream of shiny cleanli ness with just a flick of the wrist. Spill-overs from cooking and baking are often unavoidable. They- should be removed after the range has' .cooled. When stains don't respond, use -a small quantity of ammonia' with sud sy, hot water, then wTirtg out the cloth and apply to the trou ble spots. Burner trays top grids and even the burners-themselves are easily lifted out and washed at the sink .in hot water, just as you do your pots and pans. Avoid using strong alkalis or cleaning powders. It's not neces sary. ' " Wait until, the range' has cooled before cleaning. Howev er, as you cook you can wipe up any splatters with a paper tow el. Avoid having vinegar, milk, tomato, or lemon remain in con tact with the enamel on the range. These , all contai-n acids that don't help its shiny appear ance. Oven Needs Attention The oven needs attention aft er it has been used. But don't wait too long. bwau?e it's easier to clean immediately. If you've really had trouble With spill overs, you can put a piece of aluminum foil, on the oven floor to catch the juices. You can ap ply salt to cover the spots, pre venting odor and. smoking.

The recessed ceiling fixture has been replaced by a plastic diffuser containing three 75-watt bulbs. It has been moved closer to the sink. The wall bracket over the stove shields, a 25-watt fluorescent tube. The countertop gets its illumination from two. 60-watt shield incandescent bulbs. ... Plenty of Gas for Cooking Assured WHAT THEY MEAN "Artipere" pr "amp" denotes capacity. "Watt" is the amount of energy used. "Volt" is the level of pressure the' higher the voltage number, the greater the pressure. -. You may forget to buy coffee when you're out shopping. Some times you'll find yourself with no bacon to go with your eggs, or vice versa. You may ".even run out of potatoes and dis cover it just before-dinner., But. says the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association, .you are not going, to run out of gas.. You'll have plenty of gas to cook whatever food is available, morn ing, noon and night. . The nation's natural gas in dustry, GAMA says, has :spent more than $5. billion- on exoan sion of the na.tural gas pipeline system during the past decade in order to make more of the fuel available to homes and in dustries from coast ' to coast. What's more, further expansion which will cost another . Sl'.i billion .is already under way. Projects approved by the Fed eral Power Commission during 1955 alone were expected to. -add 2.389.200.000 cubic feet of na tural gas to the daily delivery ca pacity of existing facilities and bring new or additional natural gas service to 123 cities of more than 50.000 population through 5,706 miles of new pipeline. . The rising demand for natu ral gas resulted in a record con sumption of more than' ten tril lion , cubic feet last year. But even while this record .use was going on the industry discovered 22 ' trillion cubic feet of a'ddi tibnal reserves to bring the proved recoverable reserves to an alUtime high of 223.7 trillion 'cubic feet. - Obviously, GAMA says, the homemaker can use gas to her heart's content . for cooking, water heating, clothes drying or refrigeration. There's .gas aplen ty in the pipeline, and lots more where that came from, While the- popularity of gas for home use has grown by leaps and bounds, there is a plentiful supply of this miracle fuel for all purposes. BOOST RESALE VALUE ' ' Althnnch a home imrjrove- ment project is most likely to be outlined with the family's own needs in mind, it also will affect, the property's sale price should some change in plans put it on the market. Mbden kitch ens and laundries are proven sales makers for builders of new homes, points out the Gas Ap pliance Manufacturers associa tion, and are equally effective in boosting the value of older dwellings. 1 .' Choice of Soaps For Home Laundry Back when a bar of yellow laundry soap was the', household standard, washday was a dread ed family chore. Today, the concept of "wash day" has practically disappear ed as the automatic laundry has. replaced the washboard and scores of 'specjlized' cleaning products have appeared in place of the old'fashioned laundry bar. Today's housewife' can. choose from any number of soaps -and synthetic determents 'in powder, granule, flake and liquid form. But she is often at a loss which' to buy for-washing dishes, 'ny lon uhderthings or for' use in her washing machine. The term "detergent" can be confusing. A detergent is simply a cleasing agent which, in water solution, rempves 'soil. So, both soaps and synthetic detergents qualify as "detergents." However, synthetic detergens have certain advantages over soaps. They launder equally well in hard" or soft water. and leave no dulling soap scum. " Some synthetic . detergents produce fewer suds .and are somewhat better for front:loading washing machines. During the-past l'o years, syn thetic detergents have won quick acceptance and today outsell soaps by an overwhelming ma jority:. Soap powders are still recommended for use in soft water areas. In a washing ma chine they do an excellent, job on all types .of clothing. Mild soap flakes are esoecially Suited for hand washing fine fab rics like nylon hosiery, lingerie, baby clothes, silk" and wool. For best results in -hard 'water, a wa ter conditioner should be added to the basin -or Washer before the soap.- In hard or soft water, china,' glass and silverware will spar kle when a 'dishwashing deter gent is used. The liquid deter gents, in particular, have won derful grease-cutting abilities. For dishwashers special ' deter gents are available,. ijwnaiMia,iii t m ur jh.wiui.ihi iiii jEJWM .1 , HS&A&uaCnf CTv:. -.S" r s imii iim .w.-CTgr--; r v i anew . mm RAIDERS There' alwavj lentf ice in the modern gas refria ' rralor wlien the vounsslers come booking.
