420 ILLUSTRATED WORLD
A WHOLE MEAL ON ONE
BURNER
A STEAM cooker that
can cook a whole
meal over one burner
will be welcomed in
many kitchens and will
add, too, to the pleasures
of camp life.
This cooker can be
used upon, and fits any
kind of stov e—coal,
wood, coal oil, gas, or
gasoline—in fact, can be
used any place where
there is a fire with sufficient
heat to boil the
water in the lower vessel.
The cooker has three
vessels, two cooking
compartments and the
lower vessel, which contains
the water. The
cooking is done by steam
vapor generated by the
boiling water in the
lower vessel and passes
up through a small pipe
on the inside. The
cooker is of heavy tin and has a copper
bottom. It contains an
enameled pudding pan, and
a double compartment of
large capacity arranged
above it.
The cooker economizes
space, as it occupies only
one hole on any stove, and,
for camping, a small-sized
fire can be used. The food
cooks quickly and cannot
burn. It needs no watching
nor stirring. Because
the food is steam cooked,
all of the nutritious qualities
are retained.

handy a brush, comb.
For Gas Economy
This steam cooker is one hundred per cent
more efficient than the old method of spreading
the meal over the surface of the stove
and wasting most of the heat.

do away with the necessity of carrying
a huge shopping bag,
manufacturers of vanity
articles are selling this
little case which buckles
around the limb.
CLOTHES DRYING
RACK
A DRYING rack of
^"^ great capacity for
its size which occupies
practically no space
when not in use and is
ready for use at a moment's
notice, can be
made as follows:
Out of H" stuff make
8 pieces yi" wide by 2'
9" long, and 4 pieces 12"
long. From these make
two reinforced rectangular
frames, drill
holes in the end pieces
for the screws, and use
thin and rather long
screws. If this is done
carefully, and the ends of the long pieces
are all square, the frame will be substantial.
Then drill two
holes large enough
for a fishline through
each end piece near
the corner. Cut four
pieces of line from 4' to 8'
long, depending on the
height of the ceiling, knot
each piece near the end, slip
the lines through the holes
in the first frame and knot
them again 12" to 15" higher
up, slip them through the second
frame, and tie each two
separately and firmly, providing
a loop so the rack can be
hung on small hooks above
the stove. For best results, it
ishould be hung so as to be
right square above the stove
