equal distribution Of the body's weight
possible. The feet should be placed
squarely on the step, heel and all, and
then the work should be done slowly
and deliberately. In this way there is
no strain upon any muscle, but each
one does its duty in natural manner.
The practice of bending nearly double

How 70 Care For It So That It May Nee
Become Nuisance.
It is common to hear people speak Of
greasy sinks, pots and pans. These.
things wovld not exist, and do not, nm
der proper management. It is saving
Of time to save the grease which rises
to the top Of soup pot or dripping
pau. This may be done by straining Is
into reoeptaoles kept for the purpose.
The slight scum left olinging to the
dish may be cut by throwing into tho
water poured in 1t half handful Of
washing soda or little potash dissolved
in boiling water. With good whisk
kept for the purpose and this strong
alkaN the dish may be quickly scrubbed
clean and the sink in which 1t Is wash
ed will be cleaned at the same time.
The poor manager "pans" or fries
her chops, but she seldom utilizes
the brown drippings or scraps of tile
meat and the grease left, although this
will make good gravy. She will, in
nine cases out Of ten allow it to burn
In the pan, in which case it is far hard
or to wash the pan than it would be II
the gravy had been made. 1t may not
be desirable to serve the gravy with the
chops, for this is hardly rich enough,
but it will be q proper basis for the
making Of nice tomato sauce. Well
seasoned and combined with an equal
amount of stewed and strained tomatoes
the disdained gravy is converted into
an appetizing relish. It may also be
served with some vegetable, or it may
be put aside for use on another day.
To prepare the gravy stir into the
grease left after frying half a dozen
chops an even tablespoonful Of flour. II
no extra grease has been used to cook
the chops, that which has been tried
out Of them will absorb this amount of
flour. Add about cup of boiling water
and stir until all the brown bits in the
pan are taken up. Season the gravy
with half teaspoonful of salt and q lit
tie pepper; add half a cup more of water,
and let the gravy simmer for five min
utes. When 1t is poured out. the pan
can be easily washed with hot soapsuds.
The materials which made it hard to
wash before are used in the gravy.
When the gravy is cold, any grease that
may not have been absorbed will rise to
the top and can be removed. If the
gravy is needed ut once. the fat can be
SKINNED of, though this is not SO easy
to do. Not only is it diffioalt to take off
enough Of the fat, but in the process u

must be used in washing it.-Exchange.
