all hood ought to be-with some
thing to spare-but in practice has
proved much less satisfactory than
the stationary ones.
No mechanical contrivance can
wholly make up for the lack of care
and intelligence in the cook-not-
withstanding it is asfact that hood,
well set, in large measure carries
away the fumes of food. The man
ner of setting will depend on the size
and location of the fue. The lower
edge ought to be high enough to be
quite out of the way, yet not so high
as to either miss or defeat the as
cending hot air column. It may seem
at first a costly betterment, for no
direct material benefit, but years
use will show the money to have
been well spent.
Not to name present and everyday
comfort, all things keep much better

Metal furnishes and fabrics decay
twice as quickly in heavy and musty
air as in that which is clean and

A kitchen with neither hood nor
fireplace should at least have trum-
pet ventilator. This is only tin
tube with widely faring mouth,
crooked body and narrow upper end.
It should be set in the wall abovs
tho range, with the haring mouth,
which curves over and downward,
against the ceiling. The narrow end
goes inside the fue, projecting just
enough to secure a good draught.
The efficacy of this device, a make
shift at best, depends mainly upon
the size and smoothness of the far-
ing mouth and the tightness of tho

oDORS OF THE KITCHEN.
tion of ventilator the House,
wife Can Control Them.

OQOfS are SuOLle, Wltnal searching.
In dealing with those in the kitchen
an ounce of prevention is worth at
least ton of cure. The heavy smell
of stale grease, most clinging and
most offensive of all, comes more
than anything else from stopping or
sputtering over, which very little
care in range management prevents.
The acrid smell of burnt or scorched
things is positively painful-so much
30 that cooks first lesson ought to
be that fire was given for cooking,
not burning. Leaving unwashed pots
and stewpans to dry and simmer on
the range is fruitful source of ill
odors easily remedied. Dissolve two
pounds of washing soda in a gallon
of boiling water and keep q bottle
of it handy. AS you empty cooking
vessels pour in soda water an inch
deep, shake it well all around the
sides and leave until washing time.
If the pots and pans keep warm, SO
much the better-the soda will do its
work more perfectly.
Onions, turnips and all the cab
bage tribe, which smell to heaven,
may have their scent somewhat
abated by little care in the boiling.
The odor comes from their essential
oils, which volatilizc. If the vege-
tables are prepared some hours be-
fore they are wanted and left to
soak in weak, cold water, rinsed and
put over the fire in fresh, cold wa
ter, they throw up this essential oil
largely in the form of scum. Let
them come to boil before putting
in the salt, and skim very clean.
After the salt is in add dash of cold
water-it will throw up a second
scum, which must be removed at
once. Cook all such vegetables un-
covered. A lid strengthens the odor
tenfold and makes it more offensive.
Another preventive is bread crust,
very hard and very stale. Drop it
into the water just as it strikes
boil and let it stay ten minutes, then
skim it out. Most of the oil will
come with it; further, the spongy
crust will have kept it from vaporiz-
ing. Caulifower not quite fresh al
ways smells tremendously. The best
thing for it is scald in weak salt
water, boiling hot, before the cold
soaking. If the heads are big cut
them into pieces so as to make sure
of removing every bit of discolored
curd.
Even when summer heat puts an
open fireplace out of commission, q |
quick fire, as of straw, excelsior,
light shavings, even newspapers, will
set up purifying draught> and help
to free the kitchen of unpleasant
odors. Failing an open fireplace the
kitchen ought to have range hood.

to Eradicate.

The fact that freckles are the usual
penalty exacted by nature for the
bestowal of a delicate complexion in
no way compensates any daughter of
Eve for their unwelcome presence.
The poet may call them "the kisses of
Apollo" but she prefers to dispense
with the attentions of the sun god.
Probably the least offensive and dis
figuring of all skin blemishes, they
are the most obstinate to remove.
Dermatologists have tried in vain to
compound remedy which should be
permanent cure. It has yet to be
found. True, they may be faded, even
removed in many cases, after persist
ent treatment, but with the advent of
the warm spring days and summer
winds they are very apt to reappear.
