CARING FOR THE. KITCHEN
Should BE Kept scrupuIousIy Clean
and Furnished With That
End in View.

q H- .
No part of our home is more impor-
tant than the kitchen, whether we oc-
;cupy 1t ourselves or relegate it to .
maid. 1t does not do to imagine when
furnishing that 'any old thing" is
good enough for kitchen use. Faded
oilcloth and soiled rag carpets should
not be seen in part of the house that
from the hygienic point Of view should
be all freshness and. brightness. Our
kitchens should be kept scrupulously
clean, and they must be furnished
with this end in view.
No unnecessary articles should be
there to get in the way of the occu-
pants. The walls should be painted or,
If there is paper, 1t should be light
and easily washed, and the floor ought
to be covered with light inlaid limo
leum. lnlaid floor covering costs in
the beginning more, but it is the only
satisfactory wear, and 1t has been
found that light colors are really more
economical than dark A bright table
cover and 2 basket chair are details
of kitchen furnishing that will be
much appreciated by the occupants.

by the fremen, who had to saw

could not be rescued because heavy
