What if a delightful old fairy god mother, like Cinderella's, should walk into the kitchen some evening ami find you resting after a hard, long day Bpent in the unending and pitiless serv ice of that fiery dragon, tlio cook stove? This monster, like the one in the story of Andromeda, requires a woman to be chained up for its benefits, and sometimes, indeed, it exacts her life unless some gallant., rich Perseus comes as her deliverer. What if the dear old fairy god mother should wave her wand and say: "I will loose these chains and let you go once more free ard happy; X transform this monster now, on the spot, into a neat little box, with a cook insiiie, at your service!" If she should work the trans formation, place the kitchen lamp un der the box, into which put the food you wish cooked on the dishes in which it will be served, close the box and the kitchen door. Goto see the tennis match, tlio great game of football or the latest orchid in the flower show. Return when you are ready, and you will find a hot, well cooked nie tl in the box, all ready to place on the table. Can you imagine poor Andromeda saying: *'Xo, old lady, no! I like to bo chained here. 1 love this mon ster with his dirt and his cruel ex actions. I will be roasted, burned, broiled and stewed in his service, and when he does not need me 1 will stand for hours over a sink scrubbing the metal pots he delights in that he may have the vessels sacred to his use, bright and ready when I must again serve him. How foolish of Andromeda! How Incredible, even! Yet this is just what thousands of women are doing, while that very magic box with the cook inside is waiting to be bought and has been written about and much used for certainly -0 years. The Aladdin oven has been before the public quite that long, and yat its advocates are like missionaries in a far country who have such a pre cious mes.-age to deliver and no one seems to understand the language in which it is spoken. I that ray experience with this really wonderful invention may be of service to some of the poor slaves of the cook stove and incompetent cooks, and, like a siren whistle, pierce the ears of the deaf and inattentive and cause them to stop and listen. Jean Paul Uichter says: ''Only once in her life does a poor woman hold up her head and look at tho world as it really is. All her youth her head is bent and her eyes are downcast in study and submission and later her head is bent aver her sewing or her endless housework. Only when she loves does she stand upright and is pushed out into the sunshine by lov ing, willing hands, for her short holi day .with her lover, before her head is again bent forever." Now every wom an who does her own cooking can hold up her head like a betrothed maiden all the year round. For several years this Aladdin oven has been used by a family of four •with such success, health, pleasure and profit that now so great do its perfections seem to them all that they are ready to swing incense and crown it with flowers every morning as an appropriate expression of their grate ful appreciation of its labors in their service. There it stands in the cor ner always silent, ready and efficient.; no heat or smell, needing no overseer, and working for them while thev play or s eop. J hope an account OT an experiment with this delightful little cook may cause some other wom an to try it also. "Has* thou two loaves, sell one and buy jacinths to feeri 'hy soul." Two poor women longed tor the unattain able, a house by the sea. their own beach and g.'irden # and their very own view, with the sr'Vude and rest BO much needed in this. l>isy America. Tlii3 seemed reserved for thfc Jich, for where the beach and garden could be had for a small smn of money no cook would come on account of the loneliness; yet to do the cooking iliem s» Ives meant labor that would spoil any holiday, for who could enjoy the garden, the view and the beach if she must give up the best part of each day to preparing three meals with the usual cleaning up afterward? How ever, they decided to try the Atkinson box. A confortable cottage was built, three miles from the nearest village, on the seashore, and the two incapable southern women who had never need ed to lift a finger in their lives for real housework took possession. In the south, although we complain be cause it is the fashion to do so, about servants, we very seldom find it neces sary to do without tnem; there is always old Aunt Jane, who was moth er's cook, or Maivina, who likes a job occasionally even if she is old, to come and help. So it was felt to be a great experiment to do without even one servant ; but the glorious view, the dear little home, the free dom and the solitude, were worth the trial. The Aladdin oven consists of a box with the shelves inside; under it is placed a common kerosene lamp. The heat is shut between layers of asbes tos and a thermometer outside the door indicates the heat inside. The lamp, which holds a gallon of en,' is fill :d once a day after breakfast, and burns 24 hours, or even longer, if you keep it very low and as the food often cooks 12 hours, very littlo heat ia needed. Breakfast is put on the stove after supper in the evening and is quite ready by six o'clock the next morn ing. It is equally good at 8:30 o'clock. Dinner goes in after breakfast, and supper after dinner. It does not mat ter if you reverse this order and have your dinner later and luncheon in stead of dinner, or if you only turn the lamp low enough if you do not eat the dinner putin the stove at nine a. m. till 7:30 p. in. This was often the with us when we were away on picnics or excursions. Every evening after supper one laz/ woman washed the tea things—a sort of survival of the fittest, for every thing not absolutely necessary was soon discarded for the faithful and essential few, and a centerpiece and jars of flowers took the place on the table of the usual ornamental dishes and silver —while the other, in her ! rclty muslin and ribbons, gayly pre pared the simple breakfast, placing it on the shelves, shutting the door, and turning down the lamp for the night. This took about J 5 minutes, usually, more or less; then they both departed and joined congenial friends waiting to enjoy the sunset with the cook or perhaps to discuss Maeterlinck's latest play with the waitress. The next morning at 8:30, after a delicious swim in the sea and a leis urely toilet, the box was opened and a steaming hot, well-cooked breakfast was ready. Attain did the lazy one wash the breakfast things; there never are any pots or pans. Mean while the pretty cook, in a crisp white dress putin the dinner. This usually consisted of roast beef, peas, rice, roast potatoes, tomatoes, and a sweet pudding, and took about half an hour to prepare. The beef was on its china platter, the vegetables in their own French china dishes and the pud ding in its pretty decorated Japanese covered dish. As soon as they were all in, off went these happy women for a long morning filled with sail ing, gardening, books and walks —all the joys of an idle summer day. They reached home at one o'clock, hungry and gay, rushed in, opening the box, and took out the very best dinner one would wish to eat —hot, savory and nutritious. The supper was then pre pared, and again all the afternoon was before them to enjoy as they wished. The stove is not perfect by any means, nor will it do everything ex actly like an ordinary range; of course not. It has its limitations, as we all have. The objections usually urged against it is that it will not heat water for household use. As well might you re fuse togo on the railroad because it cannot go along on the water or use the telegraph because it cannot carry bundles or a furnace because, although it uses tons of coal, needs an at tendant and wastes much heat, it will not do the cooking—which i 3 really very thoughtless and inconsid erate of the furnace. What the Aladdin oven will do is to take the place of a cook, whose principal labor is not so much cooking the food as watching to see that it does not burn from the fierce fire she kindles. However, so serious does this objection about wa ter seem to be that I have not yet in duced one person to buy an oven and follow my example. Yet there are many ways of getting all the hot wa ter you want, and when you want it. We have an oil stove and a wash boiler with a spigot in it that gives us an abundance of water. The food that is roasted, stewed or baked is best, as might be expected from the slow cooking, and is so del icate and excellent in flavor that the ordinary cooking seems coarse and poor after it. If you must have free dom to buy jacinths to delight your soul, perhaps you will not sigh for delicacies that take much "labor to prepare and cook. If you really de sire them you can always make them over an ordinary oil stove or in a chafing dish, while the Aladdin oven, in a dignified and t».*.troubled man ner, attends to preparing the real nu tritious food for the day. Of course those who can hire a cook need not try one. Why should they, indeed 7 ! _K VELY N W-MA* WEIGHT. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1907. A WOMAN'S SUFFERINGS.

Elackest of All. The millionaire from Pittsburg was ob.-erved to be loitering outside of the pearly gates. "Why don't you hurry up and knock?" queried a shade. "I'm waiting for that other chap to get ahead of me," whispered tlie Pitts burg millionaire. "And who is ho?" "Why, a grafter from San Francisco. By the side of him 1 will seem as in nocent as a lamb." • Stranrs Bequests. In his will Stephen Swain of the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, Eng land, gave* to John Abbot and Mary, his wife, sixpence each, "to buy for each of them a halter, for fear the sheriffs should not be provided."

I Have Trouble | j with Your Food? | I Perfectly Cooked, Ready to Serve, j| Delicious find tlcallhiul || "The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked a few minutes in a half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an ox. "Any preparation of wheat or oats put into water that is below the boil ing point and cooked as mush is usu ally served, remains a pasty, indi gestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, tho stom ach of a person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stom ach, the Duodenum, where in conse quence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured. As an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomachs of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vin egar barrel. "Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding." Knowledge of these facts and a wide experience in tho preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the ma nipulations of any cook, good or bad. The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate sweetish taste, very palatable. Children and adults obtain fine re sults from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the Miman body and so easily di gested tl at many cases are on record of nursing babes being fed very suc cessfully on it. "There's a Reason."

Of course at this season the usunl run of "fish stories" are going the rounds. But one relating to the hurdling prowess of bass and trout, which was told in all earnestness the other night, takes first prize. "Fish always go up stream In the springtime," said the fisherman, "and scarcely anything will keep tho bass and trout from getting near the head waters. I have known these two species to jump over a dam eight to ten feet, high and continue their up stream journey." "What was that you said?" re marked a friend, who also claims to be somewhat of an angler. The man repeated his assertion that ho had seen fish jump over dams eight to ten feet high, and as there was no one present to deny the hurdling abilities of the flsh, the only challenge to his remarkable statement was a laugh by all hands. "Well, 1 trust I will never be on the top of Niagara falls when one of those hurdling fish you speak of comes fly ing through the air and hits me in the eye," remarked the friend. That broke up the fish stories for that even ing, but the man still insists that a ten-foot dam can be hurdled by either a bass or trout. FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE. Remarkable Incident That Disturbed Solemnity of Funeral. Instead of tho accustomed quiet which prevail.-! at tho burial of the dead, great excitement and fear at tended the burial the other day of Michael Sereno, a prominent merchant of V.'estport, when by the collapsing of a grave the cofiin and several per sons attending the services were hurled into a small pit. The final prayer had been said by the preacher, and tho assistant to the undertaker stepped to the foot of the coffin to arrange the rope for letting the coffin into the grave. At that mo ment one of the pallbearers acci dentally kicked out the crosspiece that supported the coffin. The coffini quickly descended into the grave, the body going feet first. The assistant hastened its descent by tumbling 0:1 it. Several persons rushed to the edge of the grave; causing tho soil to yield, and in a few seconds five per sons were lying in the pit half covered with dirt. They were pulled out, the coffin was dug out and laid flat, and after tho grave had been redug the burial was completed.—X. Y. Press. TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA. Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sis ter Took Cuticura Pills. "I must give mtieh praise to all the Cuticura Remedies.

I was very much troubled with eczema ct the head, and a friend of mine told me to uso the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Re solvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D.
