Preventing Odors From Cooking

Some time last winter you told us of way of preventing onions, cabbage, and so forth from filling the house with un- pleasant smells while they are cooking. noticed the article at the time. and recollect that the notion was simple. but have forgotten what it was. We cooked cauliflower last Sunday, and had to open ali the windows. How can we avoid the nuisance? MRS T. T. R."
 You are mistaken with regard to the onions. Thus far I have not succeeded in abolishing the evil odor arising from that estmable vegetable while in cooking. did say. and I repeat it confidently, that if a large slice of really stale bread be laid on the surface of the water in which cab bage cauinower, Brussels sprouts or any member of the cabbage family is boiling it will absorb the volatile properties which rise into the air and spread the smell if no precaution be taken to prevent this We have practiced this device dozens of times with perfect success. l do not com prehend why it fails when onions are in cooking. Readers may suggest the req son?
