more may be purchased and the extra
expense will hardly be noticed.
Among things which will help in
this readjustment is selecting utensils
which will answer several purposes.
For instance, a new rooster Is neces-
sary. An aluminium one may cost
little more at the time, but means two
baking pans instead of one, as the COW
err is real pan. Fruit may be canned
in it, standing pint jars on the rack
and turning it upside down for the
quart jars. Then with plenty of boil
ing water in the pan over fire or in
the oven, or fire turned out entirely
and covered, fruit Is canned by the
steam process.
The bread mixer is not only useful
and necessary for bread making, but
is fine for mixing the fruit cakes and
plum puddings.

hard way when fruit press or po-
tato slicer will do it in onefourth the

Another one Of those commonplace
things we wrote about for this month
of September is the replenishing of
housekeeping conveniences and uten-
sils. Describing the old and WORKOUT
or out of date tools and putting in
place the most thoroughly up-to-date
ones which can be bought.
These accessories should never be
chosen in haphazard manner. Surely
a woman who is alive and thinking
today is not using heavy pots and
pans, either heavy to handle or hard
to wash. Who would use an iron
spider which is heavy and porous alb
sorbing grease and odors of all foods
which have even been cooked in it,
when a light steel spider or an alumni
mum one is on sale at every house fur
nishing department, and much more
attractive to look at.
Make the kitchen, as in other parts
of the house, a process of elimination
rather than accumulation. Think of
the useless utensils in drawers and on
pantry shelves which are never used.
Either find out they are perfectly use
less and relegate them to the waste
basket or use them. There are too
many tools lying around this working
laboratory of the home which makes
extra work to handle and do not add
to efficiency engineering of the home
or housekeeping

NEW SIX CYLINDER

Al9l4 Mitchell "Little Six at Pttsburg, Pa, last
week completed a wonderful performance and set up
a new worlds record for six cylinder motors.
1t wa a sealed bonnet, non-motor-stop test which
started out with 1000 miles as the mark! Hood,
starting crank and starting motor were sealed secure
lyby the Director of Public Safety. Observers, Pitts
burg newspaper men, rode in the car night and day
during the long grind over Pittsburg streets and ad-
jacent hills.
All those interested voted not to stop at the 1000
mile mark because the motor was running so sweet
"; same at the 1900 mile mark; same at the 1000
mile mark.
An average speed of 20.2 miles an hour was made
throughout the run.
When the switch was turned at 2563 miles, Director
Daley said, Its a shame to stop that motor--it could
make $500 miles just as easily.
No water was put in the radiator during the entire
run; the motor wasn't touched; the only stops made
by the car were to change tires, change crews and
to replenish the fuel supply.
A wonderful performance by a wonderful cara new worlds record
for six cylinder cars.
The Mitchell Little Six" pictured herewith, sells for $1895, fully
equipped. Its known for the six cardinal points that have made
Mitchell cars famous-SILENCE, POWER, N SAFE
