much like an electric fan, which kills the
odors from the cooking. Beside this stands
the coffee mill.
A SINK TO DREAM ABOUT!
Now comes a long, low window with plain
white scrm curtains hanging straight from
top to sill. Under this is the very last cry
in kitchen sinks-the standard sanitary white
enamelled piece sink, with drainboard on
each side. 1t is six feet long over all. twenty
two inches wide and thirty-six inches high.
DO you realize what comfort it must be to
have a sink just exactly the right height? No
more stopping over to wash the dishes, no
more crcks in the back; here one may stand

and sweet apples. In this case, sweeten to
taste when the apples first begin TO break; and
if the flavor of spices is liked, ground CHINA
mon and nutmeg may also be added. This
butter will keep almost any length OF time.
MULLED CIDER
Mulled cider of Colonial days was an excel
lent tonic and bedtime drink, warranted to
break up a cold Nor has it lost its efficacy
with the lapse of years. Beat three eggs until
lemon-colored. and add sufficient sugar TO tone
down the acidity of the cider that is to be add
ed Boil one quart of cider for five minutes,
then pour slowly upon the eggs, stirring
briskly Return to the saucepan, heat again
almost to the boiling point-but not quite
pour into thick glasses and dust the tops with
grated nutmeg.
CIDER CAKE
Sift together four cupfuls of -four, three tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, one saltspoonful
of salt and one teaspoonfu each OF ground all
spice nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat to cream
half a pound of butter with one pound OF su-
gar. Add three eggs, the yolks and whites
beaten separately. Gradually add this mixture
to the dry ingredients, stirring IN suiilclent
sweet cider to make good cake batter. beat
the mixture hard for hve minutes, blend IN a
cupful and half of chopped and seeded rails
ms and pour into well creased cake pan.
Bake in slow oven for forty-fve minutes, and
when cold ice with a boiled frosting. This
quantity makes a very large cake or two medi-
um-sized ones.
CIDER APPLE JELLY
With cider sweet and fresh from the press
try making apple jelly. Wash and wipe fine
favored, tart and juicy apples, then quarter
and put in preserving kettle with barely
enough cider to cover. Cook gently until the
apples are soft; strain and measure the juice
there should be about half the quantity OF cider
that there is fruit when they are put IN the
kettle. Allow, for each pint Of strained juice,
one pint of sugar and after the juice is re,
heated and allowed TO boil for ten minutes add
the hot sugar and stir rapidly until IT is dis
solved. Boil until little, tried on cold plate,
"jells" and becomes firm. Skim carefully
while the jelly is boiling, and pour into hot,
steriized glasses. Cover the next day with
melted parafine.

Proper ventilation and good amount of day
light have been secured by planning the kitch-
en- with outside windows on two sides. Inc
artificial lighting has been most carefully
studied, with the result that there is a central
light for general illumination and plenty OF
side brackets of Just the right height IN just
the right locations.
Little Miss Daffodil Of the yellow linen an
swers all our questions graciously, at the
same time busily mixing cake, which she
will presently bake in her electric oven. For
real work is going on in this model kitchen.
ECONOMY OF SPACE
Let's begin in the corner of the room at our
left and examine the room in detail. As we
are strangers from New York, Miss Daffodl
allows US to take down the velvet barrier and
enter her domain.
Here on the left, then, is the kitchen cabl-
net of white enamel. The lower part con-
tains four drawers and cupboard, in which
the cooking utensils and kitchen towels and
table linen are kept. A bread board, which
can be pulled out when in use, is fitted into
a slit over the drawers, and over this is the
enameled iron shelf, which may be drawn out
and used for mixing board. The upper part
of the cabinet rests on this, and contains con
diments for cooking fanked on one side by
an inverted bottle-shaped tin holding the flour
and on the other by big fat glass holder for
sugar.
Every inch of space is utilized. even to the
backs of the cupboard doors, one of which
has rack for holding the open cookbook and
the other a shelf for favoring extracts and
series of little trays for holding milk bottle
tickets, small change, and the like. Attached
10 one side of the mixing shelf is meat
chopper, one of the sanitary kind, which comes
apart in two pieces and can be thoroughly
cleaned. 1t all makes you long to roll up
your sleeves and go to cooking
An exclamation from Nancy carries us on,
however.
What a perfect duck of an ice box" she
says 1t is white enamel, refrigerator with
nickel trimmings, and an electric ice-maklng
machine whirling merriy away on top.
MAKE YOUR ICE AT HOME
Miss Daffodil explains that this machine can
be attached TO any refrigerator. Just think
what a saving it must be! No more dirty
footprints across the kitchen floor, more
dirty pipes to be cleaned out, no pan to be
emptied. The cooling is effected by means
Of coil of pipes containing chemical, which
is brought to the freezing point by electricity.
The temperature be regulated, and there
is never any moisture inside the refrigerator,
so that food keeps a much longer time. Miss
Daffodil takes out pan with little square
partitions, in which cubes Of ice have been
frozen for drinking water.
The door which supposedly leads to the
dining room is next the refrigerator, and on
the other side of this is a corner cupboard for
china. Can't you see how convenient this is
for setting the dining table, the refrigerator
containing the butter, ice, etc, on one side of
the door and the china on the other? The
chins cupboard is the height Of the wanscot-
ing. and has three shelves, with flaps that

OTHER MODERN CONTRIVANCES
Under the sink is an electric plug, to which
the vacuum cleaner can be attached. There
is also novel kind of garbage can, which
consists of metal pail set in an iron frame
that is screwed down to the floor, and has
pedal which one presses with the foot and
the cover flies up. The pail is lifted from the
frame to be emptied.
On the other side of the sink is another
built-n cupboard, filled with the newest kind
of cooking dishes-Iovey baking dishes of
that delectabe opalescent glass; casseroles
in dull green and skllets of bright aluminium.
Miss Daffodil's eyes are as bright as the lat
ter as she exhibits these one after the other.
The shelf on the top of this cabinet holds the
electric iron and the vacuum ice cream freezer.
And now we come to another door, sup
posedly leading to the back porch, where the
tradesmen bring in their wares. Next this
door, on the side wall, is the big electric
range, with two ovens and three holes on top,
on one of which tea kettle is singing cheer
lily.
THE REST CORNER
And now we come to something utterly un-
heard of in the old-fashoned kitchen-"the
rest corner"
Whoever dreamed of such thing? Yet here
it is-a comfortable wooden rocking-chair with
wide arms, bookshelf filled with books; over
this window, with double sash scrim curtains
and wide sill on which stands crystal bowl
filed with crisp green parsley
And why not? In this modern electrically
equipped workshop one has only to put in a
plug, turn a key, and VOLTA! Electricity does
the rest
In the centre of the room stands a good
sized kitchen table, which would be located in
the centre of the fourth wall. if there were
fourth wall This holds the various electric
appliances which may be attached to plug
in the floor underneath-the electric toaster
chafngdish and coffee percolater
Beside the table stands handy service wag-
on, consisting Of three shelves on wheels. This
is a great convenience 20 the housewife who
does her own work or who employs but one
maid, as it can be wheeled into the dining room
with its shelves filed with the various courses
TO be served and returned 10 the kitchen with
the soiled dishes. 1t is collapsible, and stands
against the wall, taking up very little room
when not in use.
WHERE GAS is USED.
And now must hurry away to the gas
equipped kitchen which is just as fascinating
as the other The same white-tiled wainscot-
ing is there, but the paint above is warm
gray, and little Miss Dormouse all in gray
linen, is doing the honors.
The gas kitchen has the same dimensions Is
the electric. and it has the same arrangement
of lighting. But the furniture is placed dif-s
ferently, and the floor is covered with limo
leum in soft blue and the gray Of the walls.

ALMOST A SCHISM-

President Wilson has been playing

days of preparedness and backDedaling.
and it is likely to get him into the hot

with it.

ence of few OF the choicest leaders of
his party, suggested that it was high

coming to close, but he also suggested
that there were several important mat

that must be pushed through. One of
these items proved to be the prepared
ness naval program which grabbed off
three hundred million. and provided for
sixty-siX craft: another was the en-
largement of the power Of the federal
reserve banks; another the workmen' s
compensation act, and last. but not
least, the child labor legislation, by
which it is sought to provide certain
amount of government supervision
over the employment of the country's
youth.
The last item Penclled was the straw
that broke the backs Of the senators
and members from the South, and after
the Presidents suggestion soaked in
through public channels, and the mem
bers began to hear from back home
a howl was raised on the majority sides
OF both branches of congress that
gives no indications of subsidjng and
will result in the certain shelving of
any serious consideration Of this humane
measure. And the Presidents friends
are having an awful time convincing
the hot-blooded southern proletariat
that their chief was only playing a little
politics, and that child labor regulation
would keep until another congress.

BRIkG THEM BACK.

y There is a good deal of justice in the
demand made by United States Senator
Townshend the other day that the state
militia troops now on the Mexican Dor
der be ordered back home to take up
their usual pursuits.
Notwithstanding the refusal of
Huerta to salute the flag, notwithstand-
ing the battle :of Vera Cruz, notwith-
standing the shooting and looting at
Columbus, notwithstanding the mas
sacre at Carrizal, the President in
sists that there is nothing between
Mexico and the United States Justify
ing beligerency, and that the few
differences that have occurred may be
determined by peaceful arbitration. so
what is the use of maintaining a force
of at least one hundred thousand troops
on the Mexican border at the enormous
expense it must involve?
1t certainly is not meant that this
number of troops will be required to
police the border and protect Ameri-
can property in that territory If that
is so we are in a bad way at the south
ern end of our United States, and the
sooner we have reckoning that will
secure safety for border interests the
better it will be for all concerned.
The crying need of the country today
is for better understanding of the
Presidents Mexican policy.
