Some etymologists take Ada to be an adap- tation of the early Biblical mame, Adall, meaning ornament, which occurs fre quently in Hebrew Others believe thet It from the Teutonic Oda, which signi- fied rich. or the old Saxon Ide, mehn- ing happy. In all events, Ada may be sald to find happiness In riches which are exploited by ornaments, The first feminine form correspond ing to Ada was Audur, the name be- glowed upon a beautiful viking, one of the first Icelandic settlers.

A queen of Italy in 826 was so called, and the name was still in use in 1303 by the feminine mem- bers of the house of Este, The low German form, Ead, came to be translated as Ide and appears {as such in the Cambrai register.

Putting two simmering burners on a stove may even be found an economy. The giant or largest burner should only be used when nbsolutely neces sary, either to concentrate some food rapidly by violent boiling, without re gard to gas consumption, or when a food Is being cooked In a saucepan with a very large bottom, The glant burner uses from one-third to one-half more gas than other burners, Turn to Lowest Point, Any burner in use should be turned down to the lowest possible point which will maintain the temperature of the bolling point as soon as boll ing begins. Tov lehve the burner turned high throughout the boiling process, is to waste gas. Tests made on various gas stoves by the United States Department of Agriculture have shown that fully one-half the gas used in any one day's cooking with the gas turned high or on full, may be saved by turning the gas down as quickly Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION this distressing complaint quick relief by using GREEN MOUNTAIN ABTHMA COM- POUND Used for £5 years and result of long experience in treatment of throat and lung disssses by Dr. J BR Guild FREE TRIAL BOX and Treatise sent upon rs guest, 20c and $1.09 gists J.
