Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1897-04-30

Flour is one of the cooking materials
that often receive no thought as to
where they shall be kept. Many houses
are not provided with store closet, and
a barrel of -four is put in the corner Of
the kitchen behind an outside door ito
have it out of the way and not FIJI up the
pantry" Dampness affects flour, maxi
ing it close and heavy; besides -four will
absorb the odor of many things as
quickly as butter, so II one wishes to be
sure of good and light bread and cakes
the first thing to do is to "fill up the
pantry" Make feet Of four small pieces
of wood for the barrel to stand upon,
thus allowing the air to circulate around
all parts of the barrel.
