KITCHEN TRAVELS.

A convenient arrangement of the
kitchen can be made to reduce the
work considerably. Mrs. John A.
Widtsoe of the Utah Agricultural
College has done some figuring on
this. She estimated the distance
that had to be travelled in year in
getting the meals in a house that
she moved into, to be 125 miles.
Later she had kitchen which was
arranged after her own plan, and
in getting the same number of
of meals in this for year the dis
tace travelled was reduced to 81
miles. This is certainly quite ap
item and deserves a good deal Of
study. The distances that need to
be considered are those from the
stove to dining table, from stove to
sink, from dish cupboard to dining
table, from sink to dining table,
from work table and pantry to
stove, from dish cupboard to stove
and dining table. If this is given
careful attention it will often be
found that without very much re-
arrangement these distances can be
cut down great deal.

CHURCH and HOME
By
Dy
REV, DAVID SAMSON;



During the last few weeks the
morning service at the Presbyt6r-
ian church has been q Young Pso-
ple's service. This has been because
most OF those present were the
young people. Next Sunday there
will be regular preaching service
at 11:00 O'Clock. OF course we will
be glad to see as many people pres
ent as possible, and If the Sunday
School scholars attend in suf1cient
number they will have ave min
utes talk all to themselves. The
service, however, is specially for
adults, just as. the last few services
have been specially for juniors. The
future of the morning service de-
pends upon the success of next Sun
day mornings service: A wise mer-
chant does not keep, In rhia store Z
line OF goods there Ia no demand
for, and I am not going to prepare
a sermon for morning service every
week IL it is not wanted. I can save
that energy for other, work. So the
success Of the .morniugzge de-
pends upon the people; and of the
the evening service, too, although
the attendance at the evening serv-
ice has been better than that at the
morning service. Yet there il room
for vast improvement there also.
