SAVING ENERGIES

GOVERNMENT EXPLAINS HOW TO MAKE WcMAN's WORK MUCH
 LIGHTER ABOUT HOME.
Kitchen as a Workship Is Given Much Attention in Matter Of Saving Steps For Her Whose "Work IS Never Done"

Washington, p. C.-Oct. 3I-lm provement in the arrangement of tat farm kitchen will result in saving tn, energies of some s.0o0.oo0 people ana make their work less heavy and moro enjoyable, according to Farmers Bul letin No GOT, issued by the L. s De partment of Agriculture.
 This bulletin entitled The Farm Kitchen as Workshop discusses rot merely the proper location Of th litchel with reference to other parts of the house. but gives details as to the best methods of treating it's floors and walls, and gives well tested floor plans for the step.saving arrange ment of the sink stove, table, and other kitchen utilities.
 The author Of the bulletin in her introduction, states that a small. com. pact kitchen saves many steps and much useless labor in the preparation of food. This however is in homes where the kitclen is merely a work shop and not used also as a general purpose room where meals are sery- ed and where the family gathers 10 enjoy the warmth of the stove. Even where a large kitchen is needed for such purpose, however. logical ar engagement of its various features with relation to each other will enable the housewife 10 do her work much more efficiently
 Whether the cheI exposure of the kitchen shall be north, east, south or west, is a matter governed by indi- vidual preference and local condi- tions. A kitchen which receives the morning light is usually desirable Effort should be made, however, to secure light from two directions and cross ventilation. For this purpose the Kitchen should be located either in q corner of the house or in mar row part where there can be windows on opposite sides. Ii is well, also to locate the kitchen 50 that clouds of dust may not be blown in from the road, and it is of even greater i'm. portance that the kitchen be so locat. cd with reference to barns and other outbuildines that the prevailing winds will not bring unpleasant odors or flies from them
 In many farm houses a very large kitchen is provided, because it must handle the unusual cooking for har- vest hands. The writer points out that 1t will better to provide temporary shed or a kitchen on the porch, with oil stoves or other cooking devices to handle this unusual rush and thus allow the housekeeper to have a smaller kitchen during the rest of the year.
 The size of the Kitchen, unless 8 large pantry or a storeroom is pro. yided, is also governed somewhat by the amount of supplies which must be stored. In the case of farm distant from town, supplies necessarily must be bought in bulk and need sufficient storage space. In such cases, it is sometimes wise to provide an extra pantry or storage room h arranging the pantry. however, especially if it be between the kitchen and dining rooh, care should be used not to make it too large, as a long passageway

WHAT FORMER
 RHEUMATICS SAY

If you only had the opportunity that We have to hear the many en- thusiastic things that are said about Rexall Rheumatic Treatment, you would most certainly believe. as We do, that it gives really remarkable results. Almost every day somebody tells us about the satisfaction it has given. In fact, 1t has become an old story with us. While we know that rheumatism is a very difficult disease to treat successfully. yet we have such faith in the efficiency of Rexall Rheumatic Treatment that We should be very much surprised if we heard of case that it did not relieve. Made from a prescription used with great success by prominent physicians, it tends to get right at the causes of the disease. 1t helps to restore com fort to the affected parts, warming and soothing them and aiding to re duce the inflammation and swelling and to drive away pain.

EGG EATING FOWLS.
This Is a Bad Habit Which Is Not
Easily Cured.

Easily Nureu.
The egg eating habit is a bad one
and not easily cured. The probabilities
are that it is first caused by a broken
egg in the nest or a soft shelled one
found under the roost in the morning.
After once getting a taste Of their own
product the hens want more and will
try to break every egg they can find.
When one discovers that the hens are
eating the eggs. strenuous measures
should be taken at once. Scatter china
eggs on the floor in order to let them
see that all eggs cannot be broken. You
will find that they will pick at these
for a time and then desist. Feed plen-
ty of raw meat for a time and keep
them busy working for all food they
get. II you find ii hen persistentIy
breaking eggs you had better have her
for dinner. Watch the hens closely
till the trouble ceases.-Kansas Farmer.

FOR THE POULTRY KEEPER

Fresh air is important in successful
poultry culture. To house fowls in a
close, stuffy building, especially during
the winter, will result in colds which
lead Oh to roup. Since the advent of
the scratching shed houses the value
of fresh air has proved it's worth, and
eases.
The birds must have access to shelter
during stormy weather. 4 thorough
soaking when they are nearly bare Of
feathers is apt to result in an attack
Of rOup or cause Il chill that may
throw the bird back for weeks. But
the hen that gets through the mott
early and quickly will almost invaria-
bly, prove a good winter layer.
Bear in mind that chickens. both
young and old fowls, need meat. IT
insects cannot be found in sufficient
number supply the fowls with meat
meal occasionally. Laying hens are
especially fond of meat meal, and a
mash of meat, shorts and bran given
occasionally will be beneficial to the
fowls.
Hot mashes on cold days are on the
feeding program of many successful
poultry ~raisers.
