HONSIDERING the Importance OF
the kitchen to the rest of the
~ home, It seems strange that II
should very often be the least
attractive room from every point of
view in the house. We find 1t tucked
on in some dark corner with little or
no ventilation, its wall and floor COW
ering dark and dingy and its equip
ment SO meager 1t would be impossible
to find any pleasure in working with
them.
The kitchen is the workroom of the
home. Its arrangement, pleasant or
otherwise, very often gives the key
note Of conditions In the home. My
idea Of a real kitchen is this: 1t
should be as bright and CHEEKY as any
room in the house. ] would much pre-
fer gloomy parlor than a dark, un-
pleasant kitchen. If possible | should
have a north and east exposure. This
would insure sunlight In the morning
and cool breeze on hot summer after
moons. Then l should be careful to
have a good view from the kitchen
window, something beautiful to look
out upon. like stately tree, bit of
green lawn or trim vegetable garden
The outlook from kitchens In towns
and cities is too often brick walls of
adjoining buildings. untidy back yards
or high board fences. From kitchens
in the country we often look out upon
an unsightly woodpile or barnyard
filled with clutter Of old farm imple-
ments. With such daily views It is no
wonder II the women, who must spend
three-fourths of their time In the
kitchen. have very little love for house
work.
There should be at least two win
dows and. n, possible. an outside door
opposite one window In order to have
good ventilation at all times. The
kitchen should not be unnecessarily
large, but its size will depend on the
number of persons In the family and
the amount of work that is to be done

ranged within easy reach of the work
man. All utensils and evidences of
kitchen work should not be kept in
other parts of the house or slowed

strangers come. The modern kitchen
is not intended to Oil the place of a
reception room. and only In exception
al cases should 1t be used as a dining
room.

Fraudulent Remedies for
the Hair.
What Or. Hutchinson Has to Say
About Them,

The Cosmopolitan Magazine for
February, 1909, contained an article on
the Hair and Scalp by Woods Hutch
nson NJ. d., which says: The strong
est and most powerful curative ele-
ment of scalp-tonics and hair-restorers
is their smell, and the next powerful
is their color. Most of them are
frauds, pure and simple, and produce
no effect whatever except upon the
imagination and the nostris of the
users The most common constituent
II them all is alcohol, and the next
common prOba bly, ammonia or some
aromatic oil or extract which has the
double advantage OF a powerful odor
and of producing a mild sense of
warmth and local irritation All Of
this class are mild irritants to the
skin and produce a light temporary
reddenlng by an increase in the
amount of blood circulating through
the scalp; but this has about as much
effect on the hair bubs as the beams
of the harvest moon have upon grow
ing cabbages." The public is learning
that hair that falls out, itching scalp
and dandruf1 cannot be cured bv these
fakes and frauds. The only sure way
to benefit the hair and SCALP is to keen
them clean and free from dust and
disease germs. For this purpose Birt's
Head WASH the new scientific prep
aratlon. IS most highly recommended,
IS it is made of Refined Soap. White of
Eggs Cochin C"coanut Oil Glycerin
ana Salicyic Acid. Any doctor will
tell you there are no better things
known than these for cleansing the
haid and scalp. Tubes 25c.. lars SOC.
