PUBLISHED BY THE GURNEV, TlLDEN Co., um.ted. HAMILTON, CANADA. J iNrKcjDucrioN. Durinp the summer of 18v9. we decided to offer $155.00 in prizes for the f,ve best shat Essays descriptive of Souvenirs with Aerated Ovens and their work. Our object was to ascertain to what extent Souvenirs were being appreciated in the home and what particular benefit was being derived in the cooking of food in Aerated Ovens. The response was greater than we had anticipated. The numbs;- of contributions was very large, and the vast majority of the Essays were ably written. Apparently Souvenirs are much more widely and favorably known than we had sup- posed. From all over Canada came thousands of pages of manuscript describing mcst perfect- ly the special points and advantages found only in the celebrated Aerated Oven. The competition closed Dec. 1st. and the prizes were awarded in Jan., 1899. The two Essays here produced, were, after a most careful examination, awarded the two first prizes, one being $40.00 in cash and the other a Souvenir Range valued at $40.00. Both of these Essays contain much practical informa- tion that every woman should know. The Legend was a special contribution by Miss Annie McMillan, of London. Ont and was deemed worthy of publication on account of its unique character.

To Whom it may Concern ; As chairman of the committee of e;-^miners, it is my duty to communicate to those who have been contributoris in the essay contest, that great care has been bestowed upon the work of reading the many essays sent in, and that no pains have been spared to do justice to all essay- ists who have given time and thought to the preparation of papers. The standard of excellence, while it has not been so high as the committee had hoped it might be, yet reflects credit in not a few cases upon contributors. While all contributors could not be winners of prizes, yet all could and did reap benefit from the contest. The thought bestowed upon the papers and the exercise in composition brought with them a reward of their own, and I trust that all those who failed to reach the standard of those who won, will prosecute still further their labors in this field. In the exacting work of examining essays it IS only right that I should acknowledge the excellent assistance rendered to me by Mr. C. H. Stickle, advertising manager of the "Westminster," of Toronto. The thorough inanner in which the work was done by him relieved the committee of a very tedious portion of their labors. ! am, faithfully yours, C. R. McCULLOUGH, .

Why ,3, what „s n.me An oven through which pure air, after being hor.ug ,y heated, passes, and after imparting h s heat, and collecting all impurities, passes out, givmg place to the pure. For years, the careful housekeeper has read reasoned and understood, that oxygen or pure air .n any kuchen is being rapidly exhausted by >,ik KITCHEN WISDOM. both the stove and the occupants of the room This oxygen is replaced by impure carbonic acid gas, the breathing in of which is highly injurious. Hence the housekeeper has attended carefully for ingress and exit openings for these and has attained the perfect ventilation for which she boasts her progressiveness. Let her think for a moment, all this time she places in her oven, light pastry or substantial bread-loaves, carefully closing all oven doors If she uses the Aerated Oven, their appearance when removed, will be tempting in the extreme What produced the heat which acted upon them? Simply the union of oxygen v^ith the carbon in the fuel. The heat. then, must be composed of carbon and oxygen, and other oxygen compounds, and these poisonous ingre- dients are aborbed by the food in its absorption of the heat. It cannot be otherwise, for the e.scape w^s impossible in the old fashioned oven. Then your dainties, ye careful cooks, contain ammonia, carbonic acid gas and other such poisons, carefully disguised by thai which makes them extremely tempting to eye and palate, and these you offer to your loved ones. But that, among the more progressive people, is a thing of the past. ■^^y."rf^ '^im0f- I T KITCHEN WISDON T I. ^- Where the fresh air enters just over the top of oven door, and near back part of stove. 2. -Open view of top of oven where the running a,r flues circulate to back .f fire pot This IS where the air becomes hea'ed There is a special cover that carefully incloses this whole surface. 3. -Where the fresh heated air enters the oven.

Then, too, active fresh air will perform its work more quickly than stagnant or vitiated air will. Such then, is this oven, as an aid to health but more remarkable still, this is not done at the expense of other loss. Fuel is saved (for the room is heated), pots and kettles boiled on the stove, and food kept warm, in the upper Warming Closer and all at the same time. Then food is never spoiled.

The Aerated Oven, which is lined with Alum.num metal, is, I think, a wonderful in- vention, and places the Souvenir as a cook-stove far above any other. Holes over the top of the oven door open into flues, which circulate over he top of oven, coming in contact with the f.re-place. When a fire is built, these flues become very hot. The cold air rushes into these, where i, becomes heated and purified- then, hot and pure, it pours into the oven and circulates rapidly, trying to find a way out It escapes through flues in the back of the oven which connect with the chimney, thus always keeping the air sweet and pure, and no foul odors ever escape into the ki-chen. You can render lard or roast onions, if necessary, both at the same time, without the least taint or smell even, in the kitchen. Bread bakes a lovely nut-brown all over and >t never has to be touched from the time it is put in until it is taken out. The heat in the oven IS easily regulated. If the fire is too hot which very rarely occurs, the heat can be turned on the reservoir. The convenience of the Aerated Oven is a great saving of time, nerve and patience to the cook, for she can have as hot a fire as she needs in preparing the dinner, and the bread meat and pudding (all of which, may be in the oven at the same time) never burn or cry ud as they do in ordinary ovens. Meat cooked in the Aerated Oven is much better than that cooked in any ordinary ventila- ted or in a closed oven. A roast is rich, juicy and beautifully browned, being sweetly roasted through and through, and not merely baked on the outside. Sliced pork laid evenly in a bread pan fries and browns beautifully, and there is no smoke or smell of frying meat in the house Potatoes warmed in this current of hot air are lighter and sweeter than when warmed in the usual way. Milk foods can be roasted, so that they are creamy, delicious and nutritious, as 11 KITCHEN WISDOM. there is no taint or smell in this oven to injure the flavor of the milk. The draw-out rack attached to the oven door makes it very convenient to attend to cooking food without fear of incurring burnt arms and hands. Touch a spring with your foot, and all the contents come out on swinging grates. It IS no trouble to cook well with this oven.
