PECULIARLY shaped fork is the
\ last word in kitchen utilities. 1t

A PECULIARLY shaped fork is the
~ last word in kitchen utilities. 1t
has twelve distinct uses. 1t may
be an egg beaten, a fish scraper, potato
peeler, cabbage slicer, corn fork, drain
ing spoon, nutmeg crater, jelly glass lid
litter, metal cap extractor, tin can opener
and berry huller.
You can buy a spoon specially designed
for basting meats. The bowl Is a perfect
oval and pours from the small end. The
handle at the side increases its useful
ness. Every housekeeper who has strug-
gled to haste her meat with an ordinary
spoon will welcome this invention which
costs only few cents.
We now have on the market a vegeta-
BILE scrub brush with handle on top and
tin protector which fits over the handle
and prevents the dirt from being scat
tered over the sink, hands and apron.
An egg beater which has eight beating
blades enables 1t to do the work of less
improved models in half the time. 1t
can be used to tighten and aerate buck
wheat, cream, milk or any light product
which Is improved by beating, and will
do it in a flash. For mayonnaise dress
ing and all oil mixtures it is also inval-
liable as a time saver and emulsiher
When the beating is done thoroughly, the
quantity of materials is seemingly in
creased, as any housewife knows. and
three eggs will often go as far as four.
This is the kind Of mixing that this
beaten does.
There is an electric water heater that
ia so small 1t weighs less than two
pounds and yet is so powerful in action
that it will heat a basin or mug of wa
fpW attach
ed to any ordinary electric light socket,
and may be used to boil water. to heat
milk and similar food drinks. 1t would be
a treasure for the nursery or sickroom
There is never a season in the year
when a busy housewife is free from the
call of cutting bread A new bread cut
or thick slices. What Is more. 1t Will cut
new and stale bread with equally good
results. The busy mother who has to do
up lunches for hungry children will well
come this time-saver, and the hostess
who does her own work will find that
making sandwiches Is play if she uses
one Of these regulating bread cutters
The woman who continues to pit
peaches with knife is a woman out of
date. for there is a peach stoner that
will do the work for her in half the time
Canning time will no longer be dreaded
If you pour boiling water over the
peaches for a minute. for this loosens the
skins as 1t does with tomatoes. Let the
fruit chill after removing the skins. and
then use the peach stoner. This method
makes 1t possible to can whole peaches
instead of the usual halves, for the pit Is
simply driven out through very small
opening. When serving fresh peaches
delicious and attractive looking dish can

a some summer resorts the care
N of the hair is as easily attended
- to as II Is at home. There are
4 y skillful hair dressers and sham
pooers on hand who know more
out taking care of your hair than you
know yourself. But at other places. the
care OF the hair takes on a most serious
aspect. for there are no available sham
pooers hiding In the woods that sur
round the wild mountain camp. and none
ihhahits the haystacks OF the remote
country farm.
So IL behooves the woman who Is
spending her summer vacations in a re-
mote place to master the art of sham
pooling her own hair. And an art it is.
although it can be mastered easily with
little patience.
: In the first place. you must have all
the required ingredients for good
shampoo at hand. These include a suit
able soap or shampoo mixture, plenty of
hot and cold water a spray for rinsing
and plenty of suitable towels for dry

The towel used should be as free from
never TO be used. II there is no shower
bath or spray where you are staying.
buy a little spray that can be attached
to any faucet. Some of these sprays are
made with a brush attachment at the
spray end. and this sort of spray can be
used for good friction bath as we'll
as for the shampoo. If there is no
available supply of hot water have a
r{t Low, nd in
with this supply hot water for the sham
poo.
Fit the shampoo mixture to the needs
or your own hair, not your neighbors
hair, and never shampoo at all unless
you have time to do 1t properly.
With the woman of dry. brittle hair.

She must exercise the most EXQUISITE
