In a few years most cooking will be done by electricity, as electric cook stoves are in great demand, and but few manufactured. These few will no doubt be improved and many others made, as they are in their infancy. The utility of such a system can be easily seen, as a switch which can be thrown on at any given time is governed by an alarm clock set for the occasion, and the cooking begins before the housewife arises in the morning or returns in the afternoon, and at an expense little greater than that of burning an incandescent lamp for the same length of time. When a meal has been cooked the required time, automatic appliances turn off the current, thus insuring no waste. This and many other electric devices go a great way towards solving the household economic problem.
