We En have to rest in a hurry! Think f if But since that’s the way we’ve ordered our lives, then I for Je w willing to utter a silent prayer of thanksgiving for the hot Lh We haven’t given it ha.f en ugh credit for the part it has plaved in making successful our ceaseless quest for beauty. I thin* all women would be old and-yes, nirW-long before their time if they cmiidn’t retire to the sanctuary of their baths and relax luxurious y in soothing, comforting, friendly hot water.” Modem beauty baths require a constant, unfailing supply of hot water and here again women may thank electricity for coming to their aid After a busy day of shopping, with an evening’s engagement ahead, the pleasure and benefits of a refreshing hot bath are largely7 discounted if it is necessary to light an old-fashioned water heater, make several trips to the basement to pat the tank to see if the water js hot, and then wait impatiently until an adequate supply of water has been heated for the bath. Mod em homes throughout the country are turning to the new automatic electric water heater as the solu tion of this problem. The electric heater requires no attention, it maintains a constant supply of hot water and it does its job economi cally. It eliminates the necessity of “thinking ahead,” for hot water is available at the turn of the faucet. Hot water does not come encased in colorful jars and tubes, or ex otically shaped bottles, nor can it he made a part of the modem wo man’s dressing table ensemble of seauty helps, yet it plays a star part in today’s beauty play. While The Party Goes On — The Gingerbread Bakes Informal entertaining—such as having the Brown’s over for a hand of bride, or inviting the Jones’ in after a grand moonlight drive—is one of those “niceties” which stim ulates hospitality and strengthens friendship. Of course, the guests will chit-chat and laugh and have a general grand time. And, since they are invited to Nan’s and Jack’s, there’s sure to he some lit tle surprise snack to top off the evening! Nan is one of those up-to-the minute, fortunate young wives who realized the freedom, enjoyment and saving of owning a new Auto matic Electric Range—so she bought one! This magic servant— the modern Electric Range—has added more success and assurance to cooking than she ever imagined possible. On this particular evening Nan’s “surprise snack” is to be hot gin gerbread, whipped cream and cof fee. It may sound like many trips to the kitchen would be necessary to prepare this menu, but to Nan it means only a click of a switch. Early in the evening she mixes the gingerbread batter and places it in a cold, electric oven. Then she sets the Temperature Control to 350° F. She turns the oven switch to BAKE, and sets the Timer Clock to start the baking 30-40 minutes before time to serve and to stop the baking just when she is ready to serve. Snack time rolls around. Nan makes the coffee, whips the cream, and takes from the oven a delicious, magic dessert—baked gingerbread —the genuine symbol of carefree, feel-at-home hospitality!

LATEST HOUSEHOLD HINTS ILLUSTRATED ******* Timely pictures and articles for the thousands of women who are following the popular trend to electric servants BEAUTY AND THE BATH In the achievement of beauty nothing can take the place of cleansing, comforting hot water, say many modern beauty experts. The hot bath, followed by a refreshing cold tub or sh» ver, will give the skin a freshness and texture that will make all the more effective the modern artificial aids to beau ty. Frequent hot baths, such as the young woman above is enjoying, require a constant, unfailing supply of hot water Instantly available at all times. The electric water heater Is today’s answer to beauty’s demand for hot water at the turn of the faucet, without fall. The modern electric range requires only small amounts of water In cooking vegetables. Vegetables will steam as fast aa food will cook with a small amount of water and this method effects a saving of both time and money. Ten pounds of steamed potatoes, for instance, require only two cold water measures, equal to one and one-third cups. Placed In a covered utensil on the large surface unit of the electric range they are cooked on HIGH heat for 15 minutes, LOW heat 15 minutes and OFF 10 to 15 minutes. Heating useless quantities of water is a waste of both time and money. Young Cooks Bow To Electric Cookery “You know how hungry a fellow is by the time he gets home from school in the afternoon? Well, here’s what I do about that tired empty feeling,” says the young school goer. “I make myself a cup of cocoa and, say, is it good!” Does mother object to Johnny making a cup of cocoa,? Isn’t she afraid that he might get burned, afraid that something might, go wrong ? Such queries might be just ly asked were it not for the fact that Mother owns a new Automatic Electric Range. Heated by safe, easily controllable electric embers and operated by carefully marked, easy to work switches, the new electric range can be used by every one. Here’s how Johnny makes his cup of cocoa, and he’s proud to say that he doesn’t need to use a dou ble boiler! Cocoa (Makes 1 cup) (4 cup water 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon cocoa Few grains of salt 1 cup milk V4 teaspoon vanilla Mix water, sugar, cocoa and salt in a saucepan. Boil on High Heat of surface unit of electric range for 2 minutes. Scald mild on Low Heat of surface unit. Slowly add cocoa mixture to hot milk. Flavor with vanilla, and serve at once. Oven Equipment Is Easy To Clean What more could any immacu late homemaker ask than an oven which always looks clean and new ? And what more could any home maker ask than an oven as easy to clean, as quick to clean as is the Electric Oven found on the Modem Electric Ranges of today ? Because of the removable racks, broiler pan, and top and bottom units, because of the smooth, rounded corners of the enameled oven lining, it’s no trouble at all to answer positively the “keep me clean” challenge! Sugar Cookies 94 cup butter % cup granulated sugar 1 egg (well beaten) 1 94 cups cake flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 94 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Cream butter and add sugar and egg.

Add cream of tartar and salt and continue beat ing until eggs are stiff enough to hold their shape. Add the remain “CHEF’S BRAIN” OF ELECRIC RANGE The oven timer-clock of the modern electric range releases time to the busy housewife by automatically turning the oven “on" and "off”, thus eliminating all need of watching and waiting while the food is cooking. Above, a modern house wife is setting the timer-clock before leaving her home for an afternoon’s excursion free of all worries about the evening meal. Modern homemakers have dubbed the timer-clock their “chef’s brain” because of its never-failing dependability and its time-releasing and labor-saving benefits. 2&SK. Cooking of several vegetables In separate utensils complicates the cooking process, increases the number of utensils to be washed and raises the cooking cost. In modern electric cook ery on an electric range, the five-quart Thrist Cooker may be used to cook a variety of foods, the steaming process permit ting the foods to retain their natural shapes, flavors and color. Above, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, turnips and beans are being placed in a Thrift Cooker to be cooked at the same time for a delicious steamed vegetable luncheon. This method requires only one cup of water. I ing sugar gradually, beating thor | oughly after each addition. Theii-fold in the flour, adding | about H of the entire quantity at I one time.

Future Homemakers Learn Cookery In Modern Schools New Automatic Electric Ranges Are Now Used In Cooking Classes i _ GREATER EFFICIENCY The first toll of the early Sep tember school bell brings some hap l>y, some reluctant, and some in different footsteps wending their ! ways into the freshly painted class j rooms. Amid the hustle of “seeing teacher,’’ of deciding what courses | to take, and of saying “hello” to j fellow students, everyone soon gets into the swing of things and finally 1 resolves that “school is great fun!”, Especially is this true of .girls j who find themselves starting their j cooking courses in a beautiful, ful-! ly equipped foods laboratory, (or school kitchen) where there is a great deal of excitement and keen ] anticipation. These girls are taking 1 a course in Home Economics, and \ are going to learn to cook. Modern Equipment Necessary Only too well do schools and' teachers realize that in order to j adequately prepare students for the big task of homemaking, the new- ] est and the best time and energy- i saving equipment must be used. ^ The equipment which is used in many modem homes, and which will: be used in the homes of these stu-1 dents later on is the equipment which best fits the student’s needs j —now, and in the future. It is the new automatic Electric Range—of-1 ten called the Miracle Range. What an inspiration it is to work with this clean, smooth, handsome elec- j trie servant! The very first lesson which the curious homemakers of the future are given is a “get acquainted’' par ty with the new Miracle Range. The beautiful porcelain enamel sur- ] face, sturdy and easy-to-clean, speaks for itself as far as attrac- J tiveness and practicality are con- j cemed. Then, pausing a moment j over the combined surface cooking and working top, the teacher intro- j duces her students to a whole text book of cooking miracles. She ex- j plains that the calrod cooking units | give off such energetic, yet control- j lable, electric heat, that foods may be cooked the electric way with a j very small amount of water, with- j out burning, or without being j watched. She explains that double boilers won’t even be necessary for j cooking foods below the boiling temperature; she demonstrates how “low” and “off” heat will do a great deal of the cooking. The Thrift Cooker The Thrift Cooker, a next-door neighbor to the Surface Cooking Units, is a large aluminum kettle with a rack and an insulated, ven tilated cover. It's just the thing for steaming and cooking the “long time” way. Incidentally, that be comes the economy way, too, be cause inexpensive cuts of meats and dried vegetables can be cooked on Low Heat until they are delici ous and tender. Whole meals, al most from “soup to nuts,” may al so be cooked to a turn in the Thrift Cooker. The gadgets at the right prove to be the temperature and the Oven Timer Clock. On opening the door of the well-insulated, enameled oven, the teacher explains how by setting the Timer Clock, by turning the oven switch to Bake, and by setting the Oven Temperature Con trol, a pie or a w’hole meal mav be started baking and completed without any further attention, whatever. She explains, also, that due to the moist atmosphere and to the carefully measured and controlled heat of the Electric Oven, cakes and other such products may be started baking in a cold, unpreheat ed oven. In this way the bother of preheating the oven is saved and, surprising to say, the result is a much lighter, larger, more delicious product. Among other miracles the Elec tric Oven presents a broiling mir acle—the Smokeless Broiler Pan. Imagine it, no smoke, no hard-to clean-broiler pans and plenty of ap petizing, sizzling steaks! Best of all, no burns can result from using this Broiler because it slides out easily, yet firmly, on a lock-stop rack. After a look at the handy warm er and Utility Drawer, a deluge of questions and comments follows. With a promise of “there will be many more details later,” and “bring your white aprons tomor row” the happy, eager students are dismissed with high hopes of “get ting better acquainted” with the new Automatic Electric Range! Surprise Muffins 1 egg (well beaten) 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons melted butter 2 cups cake flour 3 tablespoons sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder Vi teaspoon salt Candied cherries Beat eggs and add milk and melt ed butter. Mix and sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix lightly. Pour into well greased muffin tins and place a candied cherry or one-ha(f teaspoon of preserves on top of each muffin. The cherry or preserves should be partially cover ed with the muffin batter. Turn oven switch of electric range to PREHEAT. Set Temperature Con trol to 400° and when correct tem perature is reached, turn switch to BAKE. Place muffins in oven and bake approximately 20 minutes.
