The Kitchen Cabinet

Kitchen cabinets are often consid-
cred Injuries, when they ought to be
looked upon as necessities. No
woman should walk mile when one
eighth of it could accomplish the
same. or perhaps better, results. 1t
might be possible to bring all the ma
terials at once on a wheel tray, il
they were all kept in the same place;
but they are not, cannot be. even with
things arranged in the best possible
way. They can be grouped, however,
and the storing places SO arranged
that there is system and an actual
saving of steps. And kitchen cabi-
net in the kitchen helps to do this
amazingly,
The advantages Of kitchen cabinet
are convenience, a possible grouping
of different things within a limited
space; and in many cases the sani-
tary aspect needs to be thought of as
we'll. In a large kitchen a cabinet
saves the labor and time previously
lost in travelling so many extra feet;
in a small kitchen it saves space.
The cabinet-a portable cupboard
may be placed where it is needed, and
it is open to light and air in a way
that many cupboards and pantries are
not.
Kitchen furnishings include, in ad-
dition, the stove, refrigerator, tables,
possibly a wheel tray, often a fireless
cooker, ice cream freezer, and a
steamer. These are the larger items
which belong in the list of utensils
that make for adennate equipment

ans World for July.

Feeding Baby in Summer

When a nursiong baby has colo,
vomits, has diarrhoea, constipation,
or fails to gain, it is generally due to
one of the following conditions: Too
rapid or too frequent feeding; the
milk is too fat or not in sufficient
quantity; the child does not get
enough fresh air; or perhaps II is
rocked while being nursed, or shaken
up Immediately after nursing. Often
the trouble is due TO the mothers
condition or way OF living. She may
eat too much or food that is indi-
gestible; she may not get sufficient
outdoor exercise; or she may be suf-
fering from emotional disturbance.
For all these conditions there is a
remedy, says the July Woman's
World
II the milk is too rich, an ounce OF
boiled water can be given before
nursing. and the intervals between
feelings should be heightened to four
hours. The four-hour feeding is
especially indicated for babies who
vomit or have collie; it gives the
stomach a chance to rest, and the
mother also gets more rest and free
dom. and consequently can furnish a
better milk supply. Particular stress
should be laid on regularity in nurs-
ing. A nursing baby should be
trained from the start to take water
from a bottle in case an emergency
should arise.

Declining Towns.

striking warning that the towns
are losing their population more
rapidly than the open country was
sounded at the twenty sixth annual
convention in Kansas City of the
Southwestern Lumbermen's Associa-
ton. The organization comprises
1900 retail dealers in Arkansas, Mis-
soupi, Oklahoma and Kansas Nine
States were cited in which 6,956 towns
lost popua ton, while the population
of the whole country increased q per
cent.
Out of ~ county seats in these nine
States 217, or nearly 2S per cent, lost
population, although they are the
political, administrative and business
centres of population. This decline of
the town is greatest in the richest
and most thickly settled parts of the
nine States. Wisconsin lost popula-
ton in SAG towns, Missouri in $40,
Iowa in 564, Indiana in 639, Michigan
in 677, New York in 746, Illinois in
7sS. Ohio in 1,136, Pennsylvania in

The Boy and the Horseshoe

One hot and dusty day little boy
and his father were walking from one
town to another when they saw a
horseshoe lying on the ground. The
father asked the boy to pick up the
horseshoe, but the boy said il was not
worth while. Without saying any
thing more the father picked il up
and they walked on. At a blacksmith
shop the father sold the horseshoe for
a penny with which he soon bought
some cherries. BY and by the man
noticed that his little son looked tired
and thirsty. AS if by accident he
dropped g cherry. The little boy
gladly picked ii up and ate it. A lit
tie farther on another cherry was
dropped and eagerly picked up and
eaten In this way all the cherries
were disposed of. When the last one
was gone the father said: "If YOU had
stopped once TO pick up the horseshoe
you would not have needed to stoop
twenty times TO pick up the cher
ries." MARY HENRY, aged u.

Three little words you often see

As school or garden, hoop or swing:
Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
As great. small. pretty, white or

Instead Of nouns the pronouns

Her head. his face, your arm. my

Verbs tell Of something to be done,
To read, count, sing, laugh, jump

How things are done the adveros
tell.
As slowly. quickly, i'll or we'll:
Conjunctions join the words to-

As men and women, wind and

The proposition stands before
A noun, as in. or through a door:
The intersection shows surprise.

The Triplet Gang
HARRY p. PEPPERMAN.

"Ge ahead. Bill. there's nobody
around" And from a group of three
masked thieves one stepped forth
while the rest gave him a lift and he
pulled himself through an open win
dow. A moment later he put his head
out and whispered: "Alrs well; come
in at the back door" The two thieves
then went into the yard and found
Bill holding the kitchen door open.
There is nobody home" he said. not
even the servants. l guess we can
make pretty big haul tonight
Then they began to ransacki the
house. From one room TO another
they went, leaving nothing untouched.
and, finally when they had completed
the trip, they had quite heap of val
uables piled on the floor. Bill and his
pals had just about finished packing
three valises with jewels and silver
the front door.
Il guess somebody is home, so We
better light out Of here" Bill said.
Each one grabbed valise and some
things they mad not been able to pack
and made a hurried departure.
When the Randolphs. the owners of
the house, returned home that night
they were surprised to find every
thing in disorder A hasty survey I'M
mediately showed that the place had
been robbed.
Mr.. Randolph telephoned over to
police headquarters. and i'll few
minutes a squad arrived and began TO
search the neighborhood for any
traces of the thieves. But none could
be found.
In the morning two private detec-
tives arrived upon the scene. They
surveyed the place for a few minutes
and after a brief conversation they
set off for the steamship docks. The
steamship Lusitania bound for Eu-
rope that day was scheduled to sail
at O'Clock. When the detectives ar
rived at the dock it was fifteen min
utes before she would sail. As they
were speaking TO each other three
men with heavily loaded valises
quickly passed by them and went on
board the steamer. The two detec-
tives as il by one consent hurried
after them and had the good fortune
to secure a cabin next door TO theirs.
At o'clock the steamer started
down the river on its way to Europe.

THERE IS A DAINTY CHARM IN THESE COOL SUMMER NEG
LIGEES

The draped negligee illustrated in
No S064. is developed in q soft pink
wolfe with collar trimming bands on
the sleeves and knotted girdle of a
figured crepe. A quaint, becoming
touch is given this garment by the
shawl collar and the girdle. To copy
negligee in size Sc, 61s yards of So
inch material is needed. These sheer
cottons average &c and IS inches in
width and are priced from about IS
cents yard and up.
Cotton crepe is used to advantage
in the second illustration (S01S). An
fashioned posey design is scat
tered over the surface and the trim
ming bands down the front are of
plain white. F'rills of net finish neck
and sleeves and black velvet knot
serves to close the garment in front.
This design requires for size SO, 81
yards of 36-inch material.

If little cream, powder or rouge were
