TO SAVE STEPS.
Women Should Have Small,
Convenient Kitchens.
Saving Labor When Washing
Dishes Is an Art.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 19.-"Wom-
ans work is never done" is an ex-
preston which could be banished
forever if efficiency were faithfully
practiced in the homes. according to
Miss Margaret Haggart, professor of
domestic science in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Poor arrangement of utensils in the
kitchen is an important cause of
waste. Many women double the time
of making a cake because they do
not group the ingredients all on the
table at once. Instead, they cream
the butter and sugar, then stop to
get the flour or run to the ice chest
for a cup of milk
Only small kitchens can be really
efficient. The large kitchen found
particularly in the country. necessi-
stove, sink, and tables are in the right
relation to each other, much energy
can be saved. In preparing a meal
one should not have to retrace one
steps from sink to table and back
again.
The Efficient Way.
To make pancakes for breakfast in
the efficient kitchen the housewife
takes the materials from the ice box,
turns a step to the right where she
beats the ingredients on the surface
OF the cabinet, one more step to the
right for the stove. With the last
step to the right she lays the cakes
on the serving table, and then carries
them to the dining room.
Washing dishes becomes an art
when labor saving methods are used,
pointed out Miss Haggart. For a
woman feet inches tall, the proper
height for sink, work tables. or iron
ing board is % inches.
The ideal arrangement of the sink
provides a drain board on each side
OF the sink. The drainer does away
with all wiping of dishes. The glass
must be wiped, of course, because hot
water cannot be poured on it. Hot
water gives to china a polish which
will be destroyed if wiped with a cloth.
Energy can be saved if the woman
will sit down to work whenever pos
| sible. When one stands there is a
strain to, keep the body erect.

EXIT, STACKER HEN
Price of Feed Too High to Keep Nom

Saltwater. Okla. Oct. 19-With
prices of chicken feed high and doubt
