tirely wrongly been figured out in schools OF
domestic science that the average method of Smelling
peas takes about five motions each pod whereas
more than three motions are necessary.
Place the dish of peas in front of you placing the
empty dish for the shelled peases in front Of that
reach forward, getting pod pull it toward you split
with the fingers at the time. By the time it
over the empty dish the motion Of the finger will strip
the that receptacle the pod to one side
and repeat
The oldfashioned method has generolly been to put
the dish Of unsheed peas in front of you leave the
receptacle at the right and the for the pods the
head. and making all sorts of unnecessary motions
between the three, Dishes resulting in loss of good
energy and many good minutes of time wasted.
Dustpans made to-day with long handles. 1t
would be just absurd sweep the floor with whisk
broom it would be to a short handled dustpan.
In using the old fashond pans the sweeper has
TO stoop many times to get up all the dirt, making it
twice hard.
The broom is very cumbersome to handle while
stopping back strained the face is close to the
unhealthy dust and everything is wrong Use a long
handled duspan stand erect, The dirt swept
into it Just as neatly and with twice much comfort
and saving of energy.
The same holds good in washing dishes. Many
women put the drainer on the left of the dishpan
necessitating the wasted motion of reaching across
the nan to place the washed dishes to drain
The natural motion is simply to pass the washed
dishes to the right.

Why the Large Intestine
Is an INHERITED DANGER

~ NE Of the most dangerous inheritances
man has received from his ancestors
~ is the large intestine. This lower part
of the food canal-usually about four and q
half feet longs the garden in which those
disease-producing plants known as bacteria
flourish best. These bacteria, moreover, are
microscopic in size, so that in proportion the
surface Of the intestine is big enough for the
development of billions of these agents of
deadly illnesses. In other words, every per
son carries around a prepared area which
invites the disease germs to settle there and
feel quite at home.
The large intestine serves no useful pur-
pose at all. The real work of digestion is
done by the stomach and the small intestine.
1t is in that four and half feet that
nearly all the trouble occurs Not only
is part of it (the cecum) blind pouch, but
in addition from it springs that other useless
thing which has secured such unpleasant
fame as the vermiform appendix. And even
the rest of it, curving up one side of the
body, then across and down on the other

It takes great deal of energy to hold this bowl or
hold the rotary beater the bowl and keep the bowl
from prancing about
a little wooden arrangement in which bowl or
porcelain dish could be holding it firmly or at
the side of an old kitchen table would surely do
with one half of this labor for the could then
sit down and both hands in beating the eggs
thereby saving the energy needed in keeping the bowl
in place and resting herself by sitting at the time
The modern bread-mxer is a cumbersome thing to
manage unless it is made firm bench or table Get
a tinsmith to solder clamps the bottom Of the mixer
that it may be camped down securely This will save
fully half the labor in mixing bread.
The bright bpusekeeper can get q lot of enjoyment
out of mapping out her work along the line Of least
resistance and after his is done she will find that at
the end of the day she has not wasted half energy
she formerly did, and that she is nearly tired.
In the oIden days who sat down in her
kitchen called lazy Nowadays we know better
We know that 1t is doing ourselves physical injustice
to weary our bodies any more than necessary.
There hundreds of tasks which housekeepers
may perform while sitting that foolish custom alone
has decreed shall be done while standing.

trips between the pantry and the kitchen range
All this unnecessary work could be done awav with
by the very simple method of placing the cake board
OF unfried doughnuts on the shelf above the ranys
which is generany at just the right height to epaba
her to take them from The board drop them in the

In washing potatoes most women scrub and rub ana
whirl them about with their hands, taking perhans
about 10 to IS minutes to get them thoroughly clean

in minutes, the scrubbing brush to be used onv
for this purpose.
In this enlightened age it is to be hoped that no
housewife pees potatoes before cooking them as it is
well known that all the valuable salts are ms,
under the skin and in peelng them before cooking this
valuable nutrition is wasted.
In backing stoves gloves slipped over the
hands win ten minutes more in scrubbing at
the sink to get the backing from the hands.
The ashes from the kitchen range should ALWAYS
be removed Just before washing the kitchen floor

side, is of no value. 1t acts as a storehouse
for material which the body has decided il
does not want. Why, then should it be
stored any longer than is necessary?
Once upon a time there was reason for
the existence of this extra tubing in the body
The mammals, which had to run fast and far
either. to escape or to capture their prey
could not afford the time to stop and dispose
of the material rejected by digestion Ac'
cordingly we find that it is those mammals
which run fastest, such as the horse and the
hare, which possess the most highly devel
oped large intestine. 1t is noticeable too
that among birds it is the runners, such as
the ostrches and cassowaries, which have
similarly acquired a large intestine and pos
sess the cecum more highly developed than
all the other feathered creatures. The reser
voir part of the lower end of the food tube
has a very rich bacterial fora of it's own,
many of the forms in which are poisonous
Several cases are on record where the entire
large intestine was removed the patients

told how even the most cranky and stubborn
little patient may be SO cleverly entertained

fact that he is made to obey and yet remain
happy.

Later on, milk or cream, with little frlit

How Children BREAK Their
BONES Without Knowing It

To better understand this sort Of trac.
ture and where it gets its name "green-stick"
take two small sticks, one perfectly dry and
the other freshly cut You cannot bend the
dry stick without seeing it crack But YOU
may bend the green stick nearly double and
see no crack. Now carefully remove the
bark and cut the green stick diagonally al
place where you bent it, Examine it closely
and you will see that the fibres in the green
wood have been twisted and ripped apart
even broken in small spots.
This is what freq, 1ntly happens to
childs bones. He may fall and twist hi,
little leg or arm under him. The bones ara
soft and pliable and do not break but The
bone structure may be shattered or splintered

When such fractures heal the bone il

childs arm OF, leg becomes shorter than the
mate, without apparent reason. This is fire.
quently attributed to retarded growth Of that
limb, when in reality it is the result of a
green-stick fracture If the fracture be az
a joint and is not attended to tHe joint may
become stiff and forever after Of no use to
the child.
For his reason too much care cannot be
taken to make sure a child who has suffered
a bad fall or begins to get lame without ap-
parent reason is not really suffering from the
effects of a green-stick fracture.
