Many a kitchen has no clock. Many
women do not lentigo that a clock Is i
Vnccessnry pnu of a kitchen's equipment
and that nit cooking on a gns rnngo
should be accurately timed. This time-
'piece Is absolutely necessary for tho nc-
K. complJslmicnt of scientific te-niltH In
COOKing women wouju save incinseivcs
a great deal of nerve strnln and many
who dread nnd dlsllko baking would bo
able to overcome fnclr distaste If they
realized that tho greatest part of suc-
efts in baking Is In tho heating of the
oven and knowing Just when to i educe

tcautliuiiy planned meal is m.ii 01 proper
timing. It Is dlfllcult to Iny down u
hard-and-fnst rule In tcgnrd to timing
for tho reason t'nat much depends on
the Individual style and taste In cook
ing, but should the housewife make fre
quent "so lT ,ler kitchen timepiece. It
la not long before sho formulates for
herself rules of tlmo that make su -cesiTut

SYSTEM IN' T1IK KITCHI'.N.
But with general directions for using
the gas rango sho can proportion her
day's work to better advantage, auto
matically applying to her kitchen what Is
known today as "scientific management,"
or, In plain lnnguagc. Just "planning."
This Is so because the gas langc, giv

enables her after a few days of timing
rr h nrn!ir:il!nn nf different meats, to
B know Just about how much tlmo she
K" will hnvB to snend In the kitchen to pre-
R, pare any meal eho contemplates serving.
K It Is an cxtravagnnco to use a "slow"
oven to bako foods icqulrlng a "noi
, oven. In tho Instructions given out by
the gas company's Instructors nnd In
''its literature, directions for certain kinds
of baking, such n3 baking powder bls-
K cults, always state that a "hot oven
tliould be used." Instances nave com'
to my attention where women have
neglected to follow these Instructions,
feeling somehow that tne not oven
culd use more gas and would thus work
pioro to the interest of tho meter tlinn
to those of tho housewife. Tills is not
true, however. Tho slowly cooked bak
ing powder biscuits arc apt to bo heavy,
pporly browned and unwholesome, where
as tha quickly cooked biscuits would
have been perfect. Those .'cooked slowly
require more gas in the baking I should
ay about ta per cent. more and so the
woman who Insists on Blow baking exer
cises false economy, besides securing In
ferjor results.
FOHCE OF OLD HABITS
Pm Is ofta wasted uneonse'.ously by
the housewife who lights her oven when
ho comes into tho kitchen to mix a
cake or to cook an oven dinner. It Is
the result of force of habit In tho old
K days when tho first thing to bo done was

be ready when the cake was mixed. It
did not matter whether she worked 10
minutes or hnlf an hour on the stirring
of her batter as a rule tho cake was
ready before the coal file wns. So now
m We find oyens heating half an hour and
me thrifty housewife not realizing tnat
he Is wasting gas and often, later,
mourning over a burnt cake.
Never heat your oven too long Nearly
Ml failures In cake baking can be attrib
uted to-thls cause. Too hot nn oven when
the cake goes In Is often the cause of
cakes falling In the middle.
: In baking layer cakes, heat the oven
iivb minutes wmi tne mirners on run ana
then turn oui one of tho burners, prefer
ably the back one. Bako three minutes
longer and turn out tho gas, letting the
cake settle about two minutes before turn
ing out on tho cooling rack.
For loaf cake, heat the oven about two
or three minutes or while you are pour
Jug your batter Into the pan. and always
turn out the back burner when the cake
toes Into the oven. A verv larce or rich

divided Into tnree equal parts. In the
first period the cake should start to

In the third period It Bhuuld finish brown

QA8 HEATS EVENLY.
It Is not necessary to paper the bot
tom and sides ofNyour pan when baking
k in a gas range. The even heat
forms a smooth, brawn surface that does

Sake bread In single loaves Instead of
two or three loaves in one large pan.
