Convenience Especially Suitable Where
Space Is Limited-Place Provided
for Fireless Cooker When
Not in Use.

A kitchen cabinet is just as impor-
tant to the housekeeper as the bench
to the workman or the laboratory desk
to the chemist. With it the house
keeper can sit down comfortably with
her whole kitchen workshop easily
within her reach. 1t saves walking to
and fro to gather this thing and that
to prepare the food. And every kitch-
en- should have II stool of the right
height to enable the worker to sit at
her work at the cabinet. The home
made cabinet shown in the illustration
Is sanitary, convenient. and attractive.
1t is especially suitable and compact
for kitchens in which cabinet space is
limited.
A homemade cabinet can he built
with moderate expense if outside labor
need not be employed. If both lum-
Der and labor must be purchased, the
cost will equal that of ready-made
cabinet. The cabinet must be made
of good wood, well seasoned. That is
the most important consideration.
Poorly seasoned wood warps and
swells and is a constant annoyance in
opening and closing doors and draw

This is the first of a series Of
articles which will describe
household conveniences. The
difference between the tired,
over-worked housekeeper and
one who has some time and en-
ergy left for reading and recre-
alton after the days work is
done, often may be accounted for
by the kind of equipment used ,
in the kitchen. Under the direc-
ton of the state and county
home demonstration agents of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, home conveniences
already have been installed in
several thousand country homes.
Such conveniences not only eff
feet a real saving in the work ,
of the home, but they help the
farm woman to get a greater
amount of happiness out of her
daily tasks. Many of the Inn ,
provements that will be describ-
ed can be used as well in village
and city homes.

the site of Babylon and below ancient Hit, called
