| How Yo Take Care of a Gas Range ps And Get the Most Out of It

THE 17,500,000 HOMEMAKERS in the United States using gas

now know that they will be the duration than was necessary in

oing considersbly more cooking for e happy days when America could

3 ‘ keep all of its canned and prepared foods for itself. But these same

* homemakers may NOT know hat

3 Matter how old that range may be. enamel is a form of glass, ne table glass, it is subjected “to greater heat and stains from “foods spilled and spattered u t. Some of the newer and finer gas rang« have ename' resistant * staing, while. other ranges do Wy ‘Reasonable care will keep enamel looking new; goer once its luster has

* been dulled it cannot be

restored. 1. After use each day, it is advis-

“able to wipe off the enamel of the

ran top with a soft dry cloth white Ly range is still warm, but

* NOT HOT.

2. Remove spilled milk, fats and such acids as lemon juice, vinegar

. and tomatoes immediately by wip- ' ing off with a dry cloth or fold of

paper -towel, if the enamel is hot. When it is cool, wash the area with|g soap and water if necessary, DO

- NOT pick up the wet dish cloth and ‘wipe off a spot when the range is

hot! A cold wet cloth upon hot “enamel will in time bring about &

crazed cracked surface.

3. In washing the enamel surface of a range, use only a neutral soap and warm water, or a cleaning pow‘der that ‘will not scratch on spots too stubborn to remove with. soap suds. Abrasives. and gritty powders

‘should NOT be used, as they will

‘wear off the glaze of the enamel ‘and it will no longer be impervious

to spots. : 8. 5 2

Top Burners

If yours 1s a modern gas range or a Certified Performance gas range— 1. Keep top burners free from dust particles by using a stiff brush.

Should more thorough cleaning ‘be

necessary, use fine steel wool gently. Soap and mild abrasive powders

‘are .apt to get into the holes or “gas ports’ in the burner head and

clog them. If these ports ‘SHOULD become clogged, insert a small wire gently to free them. 2. After burners are turned off and while still warmish, wipe off any moisture or food spatters with a moist. cloth or fold of paper towel. : 3. It is unnecessary to clean top burners of a morlern gas range with abrasives or strong washing solutions. 4. It is inadvisable to remove top

burners of a modern gas range

unless carelgss cooking has caused boil-overs, making them dirty. And if you must remove top burners, never submerge them in water if the burner head is of aluminum,

-shape head under very ates, peculiar to old-style gas ranges, are more e ed . to the daily accumulation of dust and cooking |vapors, The burner | heads and gas ports may be brushed free of particles, using a stiff ‘bristle brush. But when the burner rods are greasy from the fat spatters of drequent pan-frying the burners should be removed by lifting out ent h section from its groove. hese old-style burners may be boiled ‘in a deep utensil containing one #ablespoon sal soda to each three quarts of water, then washed clean in hot soapsuds, rinsed in clean- water, wiped dry and turned upside down to drain thoroughly. This boiling applies only ‘0 burn-

a gas range, like an automobile, is

“ more effiecient, more economical to use and gives better service if it is * kept clean, adjusted when necessary, and if it is used properiy-—-ng

Top Surface in General

1. Remove top burner grates, wo|burner trays or drip pans ‘as the case may be and take to the sink to wash in hot soapsuds, rinse and wipe dry before replacing. 2. Note color of top = burner flames. These should be a sharp blue—which is. completely smudgeless and gives the highest degree of heat for the amount of gas used. If the burners seem to. be sluggish, or the flames show yellow tips, notify the service’ department of your local gas company. 3. Proper use of top burners keeps the he wp of the range cleaiier. When ood begins: to cook, turn the burner fod to simmer if you have a modern or gas range, or turn the burner to low flame to.maintain a. gentle boiling if yeu have an old-style range. of Use less water for cooking vegetables; use a low. flame or simmer; and keep the utensil covered. to prevent excessive moisture -in the air —which naturally is bound to settle on surfaces and pick up dust. A - high flame does not cook faster; it only evaporates moisture in the utensil quicker and wastes gas; it will cause boil-overs, spattering of liquids. and grease—all of which results in a dirty range, not to mention less successful cooking results,

The Oven

1. The most effective way to keep the oven fresh and clean is to take certain simple and easy cooking precautions—such as, moderate to low temperatures for roasting meats, and when baking a berry or fruit pie, insert a stiff paper funnel in the pie center so the juice may rise

is two-fold: The roast shrinks much loss, so there is more to serve, and there will be juice in the pie. 2. Should boilovers or spillage occur during baking, wipe up as much as you can immediately with a heavy fold of paper towel, using care to protect your finger-tips; then, when the oven is cool, wash the area or use fine steel wool if the spot is stybborn. 3. To remove grease film or spatters from the porcelain enamel oven walls when the oven is cool, wash them with a cloth wrung from hot] soapsuds, wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry.

rack guides or slides. 4. While the oven bottom of a modern gas range may be removed for cleaning if desired, it must never be placed in water, else the asbestos lining may be impaired. 5. Should the oven bake food unevenly, the kitchen floor may have settled, making the range set unevenly. This may be ascertained by placing a long shallow pan containing water on the range top—the water indicating where the rip in| the floor is. Have the range raised so that it is level. 6. If your range is modern with an oven thermostat or heat control, and your baking is not satisfactory, the thermostat may need checking.

This is the first of six articles on a Twelve-Day Thrift Meat Diet.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

(Frances Simmons, graduate dieti-

gor We Farm Security Administraon consultant for two California hospitals, has co-operated on this safe 12-day diet. Miss Simmons holds membership in American Dietetics Association, American Home Economics Association, American Chemical Society, and California Health Association. Any safe reducing diet should be balanced to include proteins, vitamins, minerals, and just enough carbohydrates to enable your body to “burn up” your own fat. Meat,

‘|mainstay of most menus, is an im-

portant source of complete protein, vitamins (especiaily the vitamin B group), and iron, copper, and phosphorus. TWELVE - DAY THRIFT MEAT DIET is based on the new national “nutrition yardstick.” Follow these simple rules if you want to lose weight and keep ‘your health: - 1. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily, preferably between meals, 2. Do not eat between meals. 3. Do’ not eat more "than two tablespoons of butter daily. This may be used for toast or in seasoning vegetables or meat. No other

Do you feel that it is time now to make a new frock in which to enjoy - the cooler weather of the new season? Pattern No. 8814 is the kind of dress you are likely to want, if you are of the 36 to 52

size range. The neckline of this dress is cut low, in keeping with the fashion trends—and at the same time, is comfortable for the warm days which we get throughout the first months of fall. The soft bodice sections give an interesting front effect and a raised waistline feeling, both of which are slenderizing for the larger figure. Pattern No. 8014 is designed for sizes 86 to 52. Size 38 requires 423 yards 36-inch material with short sleeves.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a woman in my late thirties. I was married to a man in 1927. He left ine for another woman and three years later left her because she drank. In 1937 he married a woman with five children. Now he has left her because he can’t get along with the children. Every time he leaves them he comes to see me and tells me all about it. He has wrecked my life, as I don’t drink, smoke or care for wild parties of any kind:

Now his mother tells me I have wrecked my own life because F did not do these things. Do you think I wrecked my own married life: because I did not do those things? I don’t care for anyone else, and still if I had him I could not trust him. Will you please advise me about the facis in my case? VERY UNHAPPY.

Answer—I haven't a great many facts to go on. The main thing that stands out is your own lack of.adaptability. You couldn't join in your husband's life enough to satisfy him, but still you couldn't adapt yourself to another man closer t0 your own temperament.

Even if you had drunk, smoked and joined in wild parties, I doubt if you could have saved your marriage. Your former husband’s subsequent behavior shows him to be such an emotionally unstable person that I do not believe he would have stuck to one woman no matter what her qualities were.

Your most serious mistake was in not wiping the slate clean and starting over at the time of your divorce. You should not have clung to an unsatisfactory past but found compensation for your disappointment. Even if your mother-in-law is right about the narrowness of your views, you still could have found someone to go along with whose views were equally narrow. It is a waste of time for you to hope for a reconciligtion with a man who has made so many failures.

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a girl 18 years old and I like a boy the same age. For a while everything was going fine but here lately he has become indifferent. It seems that he gets a thrill out of trying to make me ‘jealous. I am not the jealous type but it does hurt my feelings. We are not going steady and I think nothing of his going with other girls, as I go with other boys, but I like him ‘better than anyone else I know. Should I try the same tricks on him or forget him, which will be the hardest thing to do? M. O. E.

” s #

Answer—If you have dates with other boys you will not have to descend to trickery to- make him jealous. His rivals will take care of that. Also you will not have to try too hard to forget him if his interest does not revive, for time will take care of that. : JANE JORDAN,
