KITCHEN LABOR SAVERS.

Labor-saving devices are not all ex-
pensive. Indeed, some cost nothing but
q little time and thought-and they far
more than save the time consumed in
their making later on.
The kitchen. where so much Of the
work of the household is done. should be
thoroughly equipped with all sorts of
labor-saving devices
For instance, the housekeeper who
spends much time in Homework should
wear a large apron well fitted with sew
eral pockets. In one she should have a
pocketbook, with loose change IN II for
such tradesmen as are paid at the door.
One small pocket should be reserved for
her handkerchief. Another pocket should
contain a small pad and pencil. on which
she can jot down memoranda of all sorts
For instance. II she Is making a pudding
and remembers that she promised to
telephone a friend about an engagement
for the weekend. that she must be sure
to pick out some parsley to garnish the
dinner potatoes with, that she wants to
open the attic window to make the Sleep
ing rooms more comfortable and that
there is a cushion in the hammock on
the porch that needs mending, she
should tot these facts down on her pad.
Then she can finish the pudding In
peace. assured that she win not forget
eventually to do these various things
which would otherwise have called her
from her work four distinct times for
fear she might have forgotten them
later on.
A workbasket containing simple mend
ing materials is also a great convenience
in the kitchen. Then when a tear Is OBJ
served in something ready to iron It can
be sewed up. II ones dress becomes
torn. 1t can be quickly mended. II the
loop is pulled off the hand towel, that
can be put in place. in short order.
A special spool of coarse thread with
large needles In a little cushion should
be hung on a peg In the pantry or kept
in a convenient drawer for sewing up
fowl that have been stuffed.
The schedule of each days work dis
tinctly written and hung on the kitchen
wall saves much time and worry.
Easily read labels on the spice boxes
should be provided. Usually the label In

box So labels of uniform size should
be printed in ink or typewriter and
pasted securely on the boxes to avoid q

ments-a brush for bottles a wire cloth

each Of these implements only for its
stated purpose-and so lengthen its use-

CONVALESCING FROM APOPLEXY.

| After a stroke of apopleXy. when 1t be-
comes clear that nature is about TO re-
| assert her control over the circulation in
the brain. the state of the patients mind
is more important than anything else in
determining his or her recovery.
The first question TO be determined is
who is to assume care of the patient.
This should be carefully looked into, for
recovery is not matter of weeks hut
months. and much quiet, patience. and
rest are essential to the achievement of
this end.
AS a rule It is best. first of ALL to have
someone who can talk with more or less
professional Ccrtainty of the many
chances there are for many years of
peaceful activity and happiness ahead of
the patient 1t is so often thought that
one stroke is-if not fatal-necessarily an
end to the usefulness and activity of the
person afflicted This is very far from
the truth. Many men find not only en-
joyment in life after their recovery from
even a very serious stroke. but also pos
sibilites of accomplishing something bet
ter than they had done before. Indeed
there have been many cases where men
who have spent all the years of their
life in one long, hard struggle for money
and Yet more money; have-aftcr a
stroke-awakcncd to the larger. finer
things of life.
II is strange. hut nothing makes a man
face life in a better mood to do really
effective service for mankind than the
prospect of possibly soon having to go
out of life.
Then. again. many times n man is able
even after a severe strokc-to 20 on.
after time. with the business or pro-
fession that is his regular lifc-work,
and, though perhaps not quite so strong.
to achieve more than he has ever been
able TO before.
1t is very well to remember, you men
who are feeling blue and downcast as
the result of a stroke, that there are
striking examples of this in the lives of
such men as Pasteur, the man who dis
covered the germ idea of the antiseptic
theory. At the age of 20 Pasteur suffered
a severe stroke of apoplexy. then several
slight ones. To one Of less character and
determination it would have meant
death warrant. but in spite Of this fearful
handicap Pasteur's most important dis
coveries We're developed after this time.
There have been many other Just as
notable examples, so why can't you swell
the list and IL not actually accomplish
such noteworthy feats, at least find much
peace, JOY and large interests in life.
One recovering from a stroke OF apo
pleNy needs new interests In life. Re-
member that worry is more liable tl,,a
anything else to hasten recurrence OF
the seizure. As believe IL to be impos-
sible TO keep the human mind a blank.
and as person recovering from a stroke
needs to be interested in something other

This is doubtless an extreme case; but
are there not many others~who, to a
lesser extent. fail to live up to the best
that is in them because Of the fear Of
doing something unusual?
Then there the mothers who say:
Now. Nellie. don't do that! Why, what
would the neighbors say?'
That is worse, II possible. than teach
ing fear of bodily hurt. Why should
We be afraid of what the neighbors say
Pit we know We are doing right? The

but how few of us have really rid our

That is a fear more para,yzng than the
fear of the "ha'nt'' which the Southern
mammies used TO hold as a threat over
their small charges.
There are some things of which chill
drec seem instinctively afraid, such as
fear of the dark. Many of US have
had this to combat in our own little
ones. One mother has written me about
that.
