be remedied the following day. But
nothing was heard from him then nor

he again referred to the matter, re-

A NOVEL TIME TABLE.

Great Convenience In the Up to

A clever little Christmas gift that
any busy housekeeper will appreciate
has been discovered.
1t Is a Kitchen time table," consist
vided into two columns, on which are
written the names Of various kinds of
foods and the time required for cook
ing or baking them.
Suppose, for instance, that the first
item is sponge cake, thirty minutes"
Then the cook will know that the loaf
must be left in the oven exactly half
an hour.
Not once will she have to disturb it.
and not once will time have to be
spent in looking at it to see if it Is
done.
And so, too. with other things. The
required time can be learned from eX-
perience and then noted down for flu
ture reference.
Thus gradually the kitchen time ia
BILE will increase in length as more
items are added to the list.
1t proves to be a valuable aid, guard
ing against burned food and saving
both time and labor.
In fact. it is such a convenient and
useful little device that it should be
found in every kitchen, large or small.
The real value of this little device to
the housewife is due to the fact that 1t
