SYSTEM IN THE HOUSEHOLD
and Money When II 10 Prop X
erIy Worked Out.

A flreless cooker Is a great boon to
the housekeeper: 1t saves many steps
TOR her tired feet. keeps the kitchen
cool and pleasant, and above all, cooks
the food thoroughly without loss Of
flavor or danger of burning.
One of these lavor.saving devices,
even of the homemade variety. Is as
valuable for keeping foods thoroughly
chilled as it is In conserving heat for
cooking processes. so that it Is really
. splendid investment for kitchen
equipment.
1t is becoming the tendency more
and more for the housekeeper to put
her work upon business basis, using
system in her expenditure of time.
money and labor, just as her husband
does, who goes out into the world.
This is evinced by the. planning of
meals week In advance, which not
only removes the nerve strain Of daily
marketing, but actually reduces the
living expenses. because the left-overs
may be utilized: these usually find
their way into the garbage can. giving
Foundation to the reports of our sin
full waste and extravaganza.
Fortunately, the haphazard guessing
housekeeper who waits until an hour
before mealtime to think Of the menu
has almost vanished from the ranks of
modern, up-to-date women. In her
place we have the housekeeper who
appreciates her opportunities for dis.
playing her business ability, and who
realizes that there is no profession 80

NAIL AS KNOWN TO COMMERCE
Some Few Facts With Which Users

or Less Familiar. /

A nail is short piece OF iron which
man uses to aim at while he'll ham
mering his thumb. t3s
Nails come in various sizes. A tack
is a baby nail which is fond Of stand
ing upon its head in the dark when
you are turkey-trotting around the
room in bare feet, trying in vain to
locate an electric button. An adult
nail Is two or three inches long and
comes in boxes which are sent to you
by express upon which you have to
pay the charges, which have already
been collected by the express company
at the other end. Not being able to
find the hammer you vainly endeavor
to extract this nail and others of Its
kind from the box, both with and
without prayer. until you finally sue
coed In wrenching the top of the box
with superhuman strength while your
wife looks on with superb disdain.
Nails are also used to. build houses,
as s1nkers on fish lines, and when ap-
piled internally to the feet, to promote
and foster lockjaw. s
They come in vast quantities in
ha, DWARF and department stores, but
when you want Just one to drive into
the bathroom wall during your wife's
absence to hang a razor strop on. you
might as well look for a needle IN a
haystack or square deal in state
