Time to the housekeeper Is worth as
much as to the business man, for, as. q
rule whatever saves time caves strength.
and she who can save her strength Is
she who can have the independence and
pleasure of managing her household az
fairs without the Interference Of any
domestlcs' union. Until ono has tried 1t
she has no idea how easily her domestic
menage may be run by the use Of care
In small matters and the assistance of a
good woman for the weekly scrubbing and
laundrv work once or twice a week. Io

hoalle-lnaklnE and housekeeping easier or
terest. The economy that saves time and

Garner than that which simply saves, a

the profit.

has not shown any economy.
Tho thrifty woman does not like to
waste tho remains Of the loaves, but 1t Is
not necessary to turn them into bread
puddings to save them. The crumbs may
be drIod in the oven while the heat Is
dying out, then bottled to be ready for
frying croquettes or other things, or for
scallops The slices may be Drowned

If sweetened before browning are much
the same, Grlddle cakes made from
crumbs soaked in sour milk will be found
much better than those made from flour
alone. Crumbs from graham bread may
be thus used, and brown or graham
crumbs may DO turned into brewIs, which
is a delicious breakfast dish that deserves
to be more generally known Crumbs Of
bread arranged IN layers with sliced
fruits, sweetened and covered with milk
and then baked slowly. make a desert

the bits of bread at once they may be
saved from moulding by being dried and
then packed away in bottles or boxes.
The broken pieces should be run through
a chopper. There are at least hundred
ways in which stale bread may serve the
cook and therefore 1t is n great mistake
to throw into the garbage pail any bits.
1t Is wiseN 10 save them and let them
ave the use of so many crackers.
