CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Wallis Are an Essential -
Sanitary Cooking.

It Is not only important to know
how to cook. but 1T Is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea Is simply
preposterous. yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer>
est fieck Of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put wall coating on .
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in 1t II mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs

ing into the food and the Idea OF food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall OF each
year with a light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year. the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. II there are ant

ing can be made and all the ant holes
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions OF disagreeable
insects and mice.
