For reasons of general convenience,
too, the refrigerator should be on
the same level as the kitchen. Similar
ly, for much the same reason, the
writer urges that the refrigerator or
icebox be so arranged that it can be
filled from the outside. If the rear
opening of the icebox is tightly joined
to the opening in the wall of the house,
and this opening is screened with a
strong wire netting, the back of the
icebox can be left open in winter and
the food kept in cold air without chill,
ing the rest of the house.
The floors, walls and ceiling should
have a plain surface and be free from
cracks, ridges, mouldings or other
raised ornaments which catch dust
and dirt, are difficult to keep clean,
and afford harboring places for in
sects. Walls covered with washable
paint or washable wall paper are
easier to clean than those simply tint
ed, though the latter can he readily
renewed. Light colors are preferable,
greenish grays being desirable if the
exposure is toward the south, and
light yellows or creams if the kitch-
en- gets it's light principally from the
northeast.
OF course, thing or vitrified brick
or metallic thing are better than paint,
tint or wall paper, which have to be
renewed, but these are more expen-
sive. Where the walls are painted,
better surface results when coat is
applied every year or two than when
several coats are applied at once. A
final coat of enamel paint, or outside
varnish is desirable for woodwork that
needs cleaning frequently. The CELL
ing may be finished with whitewash
or one of the commercial prepara-
tions.
Unfinished wooden floors are one of
the great burdens of the housewife,
as they can be kept clean only by fire.
quent scrubbing, and in spite of care
show spots and stains. Soft wood
quickly becomes rough and splintered.
Soft woods can be bettered by the
application of special floor paints.
Hard woods can be made less absorb
ent by the applications of wood fill
ers which are common commercial
preparations. Where unseasoned
boards are used, cracks are likely to
occur from shrinkage, and there
should be filled, putty being sometimes
used-and sometimes commercial pre-
parations designed for this purpose.
Lighting, ventilation and heating
are particularly important in the
kitchen. For ventilating purposes, a
window that goes to the top of the
room, with top sash that can be
readily raised and lowered, is espec-
tally good, as it lets out the hot air
which naturally rises. A window pole
can be provided for closing the top
sash. In lieu of a window opening at
the top, small windows for ventilating
purposes may be provided near the
top, over the cupboard, table or sink.
These will be most convenient if they
can be opened and closed by pulley
and rope. Glass panels in doors also
allow light to penetrate into dark
places in closets or passageways.
Where there is danger of breakage,
wire glass should be used, and where
privacy is desirable, frosted or SINH
lar glass can be selected.
For summer in northern states, and
for all-the-year use in warmer re-
gions of the country, there should be

The operations of the royal naval
division at Antwerp are accountable
for nearly all those reported interned
