War kitchens must be efficient. Com
veniences will help make them so.
A homemade sponge box or bread
raiser will help make the bread bet
ter. It enables the housekeeper to
keep her sponge or dough at the right
Temperature so that it will rise In less
time. A sponge box or bread-raiser,
therefore, takes much of the uncer-
tainty out of bread-baking. It can be
made from an ordinary dry goods
packing box.
Placing the Shelves.
A box 20 by 20 by 20 inches is a
convenient size. About 10 inches from
the bottom Of the box shelf made OF
Stats or strips of wood rests on cleats
fastened to the sides Of the box. A
second shelf is placed four inches
above the lower one. The shelves can
be removed when cleaning the box.
Below the lower shelf sheet Of gal
vanized iron slightly wider than the
shelf is inserted. It is curved in or
der to make it slip in and stay in place
securely. This prevents scorching OF
the lower shelf when lamp is placed
below, and also helps to distribute the
heat more evenly. The door is hinged
and fastened with a thumb-latch or
hook and staple.
Several small holes are bored in the
lower and upper parts Of the sides and
in the top of the box to promote cir
culation Of air. A cork which has
been bored through the center to ad-
init a straight thermometer is inserted
in one of the holes in the top of the
box. A Fahrenheit chemical thermOm'
eter that registers as high as 100 de-
grees can be used. Such thermome'
ter may be ordered through a hard
ware dealer or directly from an instru'
ment dealer.
Make Safe From Fire.
To avoid all danger of fire, the boz
should be lined with asbestos or tin
when a kerosene lamp Is used fol
heating the box. If an electric light
is used, the lining is not necessary. A
16-candlepower light will heat the boz
nicely. A small and inexpensive night
lamp is placed in tie bottom Of the
box and q shallow pan Of water Is
placed on the lower shelf so that the
air in the box will be kept moist.
The bowl Of sponge or pans Of dough
are placed on the upper shelf. The
temperature Of the box should be

WOMEN IN THE ROUND HOUSE

Thursday afternoon a colored wom-
an, attired in a mans overalls, APP
reared at the station house and ap-
piled for a warrant for the arrest OF
another colored woman and her hus-
band on the charge of assault.
The defendants were brought before
the bar at seven o'clock when it was
found that it was case of six Of one
and half dozen Of the other, and NOM
NAL fines were assessed against the
trio.

ored women are now being used in
the round house of the Southern Rail
way to wipe engines, work in ash
pits. etc. Some Of these dusky fe-
males wear mems overallse while so
engaged
During the past few years the glass
works in Alexandria have employed
colored women, and they are engaged
in divers occupations hereahouts
which in bygonc days were filled only
by men.
Before the close Of the war expert
ence will show that women can work
at many callings supposed to be only
for those of the masculine gender,
and it may prove difficult to induce
them to relinquish their occupations
when the men shall have returned to
their homes.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

The world war which is still raging
in all it's intnesty has brought many
changes upon our planet. In the Or
lent from time immemorial women
have been made to bear much Of the
heat and burden of the day while en-
gagged in what are generally mascu-
line occupations, and in places in Eu-
rope females have long since perform
eG duties which would have seemed
strange in the United States. Scenes
have changed in our own land during
the past two or three years, and wo-
men are now engaged in occupations
heretofore filed by men.
In many places in the land women
out of prominent families are work
ing in factories and other places with
men. manifesting their patriotism by
their readiness to do anything ca!cu-
lated to aid in winning the war. An
item elsewhere tells US that Mrs.
Westmoreland Davis, the first lady IN
the Old Dominion, with Mrs. State
Senator James f. Cannon are now
employed in the munition plant at
Seven Pines.

HOW TO CUT AND DRAW

A Simple Method That Makes the
Best of An Unpleasant Job-The
Quickest And Easiest Way to Get
a Chicken Ready for Cooking And
Canning.
Cleaning chickens-the housewives
everlasting bugaboo--loses half its
terrors when done by this quick and
economical method. There is q real
art in drawing and cutting up
chicken for cooking or canning. By
carefully following the directions
given here, the entire digestive tract
is removed without coming in contact
with the meat; and the flesh and bones
from a whole bird may be fitted neat
ly into a quart jar.
The bird should not be- fed for y
hours before killing. 1t should DE
killed by sticking in the roof of the
mouth and picked dry. When the
feathers have been removed and the
pin feathers drawn, the bird should be
cooled rapidly. AS soon as it has been
properly cooled it should be singed
and washed carefully with Il brush
and light soap suds, if necessary.
Cutting Up And Drawing
/. Remove the wings after cutting
off the tips at the first joint.
.. Remove the foot, cutting at the
knee joint.
3. Remove the leg at the hip or
saddle joint.
4. Cut through the neck bone at
the head with d sharp knife, being
careful not to cut the windpipe or
gullet. With the index finger sepa-
rate the windpipe anc gullet from thu
neck, and cut through the skin to
the wing opening. Leave the head
attached to the windpipe and outlet
and loosen these from the neck down
as far as the crop.
6. With sharp-pointed knife cut
around the shoulder blade, pull it out
of position and break it.
T. Find the white spots on the ribs
and cut along them through the ribs.
Cut back to and around the vent and
loosen it. AZ
s. Leaving the head attached, loosen
the windpipc, gullet and crop, and re-
move the digestive tract from the
bird, pulling it back toward the vent.
Remove the lungs and kidneys with
the point of knife and cut off the
neck close to the body.
8. Cut through the backbone at
the joint or just above the diaphragm
and remove the oil sack.
10. Separate the breast from the
backbone by cutting through on the
white spots and break.
II. Cut in sharp at the point of
the breast bone, cutting away the
