from simple non-thinking that our
pantries and closets and shelves are
so 'unstretchably" high? Also. why
are they so wide. so far apart. and

efficient holding Of kitchen goods?
The ideal In shelf arrangement for
the kitchen is the narrow shelf. a.

mean articles stacked one behind
another, which results in pulling out
and hunting for the article which Is
always behind. This is especially
true in regard to shelves used for
jars. II shelf is so wide that two
or three articles can occupy its
width, there is always confusion and
hunting. The shelves of the modern
grocery store are perhaps the model
to which we can turn. Here we see
shelves only the width of the can.

can be picked out. So In the home

Dear Annie naCrie-We are

~ without modern conveniences.
Campers are persons who OF

nodes Of existence and ostensibly OBJ

and persons then favor the development
. Of Irregularities, encourage moro or less

In this there ,s no harm. and often

The water supply should be pure.

there is the slightest suspicion Of its

4 second method Is by the use of
bleaching powder. Add q teaspoonfui
Of chloride of lime to ono pint Of water
and keep In a we'll stoppered bottle.
A teaspoonful Of this solution should be
placed in two gallons Of the water to

Another feature of the fall hats
Is their cheapness. They need so
