no one really knows whether or not there

CLEANING THE POTS AND PAys

"When We open our cooking yes
sels," writes a correspondent in the
Home Queen, "we should wash them
Immediately, or at least put q little
water in them at once, 80 that time
and labor may be saved in cles ming
them. When we get in the habit Of
taking this simple precaution we will
save ourselves much trouble, and the
cleaning process will be more thor
ough. There are many who do not
follow this excellent plan; then, in
cleaning up after a meal, they find sc
much difficulty in scrapiug off the
dried food, and cleaning the sticky,
hardened particles, that they leave
their dish water in these vessels to al
low them to SOAK and consequently
have to clean them before beginning
another meal, which is doing things
backward. Besides, vessels so neglected
have not had the necessary airing and
drying to make them wholesome ior
cooking again, to say nothing of the
uncleanliness of the habit of putting
them by with dish water standing in
them, which in warm weather wiz
soon sour"

SCIENCE IN THE KITCHEN.

This is the golden age of science,
from which uncertainty has been ban
ished. Life has been reduced to q
system !; we live and move and have
our being by a set Of rules immutable
as the avs of the Modes and Persians,
and woe betide that unfortunate wom-
an who transgresses. Science has held
its lamp aloft and thrown its rays of
heavenly light into every corner Of
every department of the house of life.
ever into that corner of unscientitic
woman, the kitchen. And the light
has revealed many strange and won
derful things, among others the fact
that as a race we have known very
little about the science of eating.
The preparation of food in a scien.
tifc way seems to be one of the most
important branches of human knowl-
edge, and yet it has only been during
the past half century that scientists
have given the subject any attention
whatever. Baron Liebig, in Germany,
was a pioneer in this study, and in his
own country Professor Atwater, an Of
fcer of the Agricultural Department.,
has done much to advance the science.
1t is remarkable how far wrong some
of our time-honored traditions and
ideas are shown to be, under the in
vestigations conducted by these scien-
lists. For instance, housekeepers
who have been for years priding them
selves upon the snow-white bread they
baked we're at first dismayed to learn
that white bread is all q mistake, be-
ing not only deficient in important
food elements, but being also posi-
lively detrimental to the health. For
tunately, however, the dismay of the
housekeepers has been turned to Joy
by the discovery of a process of max
ing whole wheat -four, by which all
the gluten of the wheat-one of the
most important Of food elements-is
retained. Whole wheat -four must
not be confused with Graham -four,
which contains the husks or bran of
the wheat that causes irritation of the
digestive organs. The whole wheat
-four is free 'front.' bran, but it is
claimed not a particle of the gluten Is
lost. It makes a bread of a rich,
golden-brown color, delicious to the
taste, of easy digestion and of great
nutritive value. OF course, physicians
and cooking schools recommend and
urge the use of whole wheat -four,
with the result that its use has spread
rapidly, and soon every n will have
ceased to regard the making OF fine
snow-white bread special accomplish
ment.
This is only one of the many revo-
lutions science IS making in the
kitchen. The wise woman is the one
who adapts herself to new conditions
and learns the economy Of scientific
living. Food.
