Do Not Waste.

A few hints in that notebook, recon-
mended by Mrs Jenness Miller, in rt.
gard to careless wastefulness, are we'll
worth considering. Waste in the kitch-
en- is often very great from apparently
trivial sources.
In cooking meats, the water is thrown
out without removing the grease, or, tie
grease from the dripping pan is thrown
away.
Scraps of meat or thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and
spoil.
Dried fruis are not looked after, and
become wormy.
Vinegar and sauce are left standing
in tin.
Apples are left to decay for want Of
sorting over"
The tea canister is left open.
Victuals are left exposed, to be eaten
by the mice.
Bones of meat and carcasses Of tur-
keys are thrown away, when they
could be used in making good soup.
Sugar, tea, coffee and rice are care
lessly spilled in the handling.
Soap is left to dissolve and waste in
the water.
Dish towels are used for dish cloths
Napkins are used for dish towels.
Towels are used for holders.
Brooms and mops are not hung up.
More coal is burned than necessary
by not arranging dampers when not
using the fire.
Lights are left burning when not in
use.
The dishes are not properly cleansed
and dried.
Good new brooms are used in scrub
blng kitchen floors.
Silver spoons are used in scraping
kettels.
Using carving or bread knives in
stead of the regular kitchen knife.
Cream is left to mould and spoil.
Mustard is left to spoil in the cruise,
etc.
Pickles become spoiled by the leak.
ing out or evaporation of the vinegar.
Pork spoils for want Of salt, and beef
because the brine wants scalding.
Hams become tainted or filled with
yermin for want of care.
Cheese moulds and is eaten BY mice
and vermin.
Tea and coffee pots or injured on the
stove.
Woodenware is unscalded and left to
warp and crack.
And so on and on indefinitely, and it
is important that the eye of the mistress
be ever vigilant, no matter how COM
petent the "help' may be considered
or how thorough the housekeeper.
