Efficient Arrangement of
Kitchen Will Eliminate Many
Steps for Busy Housewives

"Woman's work is never done" is an
expression 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 but
ter and sugar, then stop to get the
flour or run to the ice chest for cup
of milk.
Only small kitchens can be really ef-
ficient. The large kitchen found par
ticularly in the country, necessitates
hundreds of extra steps. IF stove, sink
and tables are in the right relation to
each other, much energy can be saved.
In preparing meal one should not
have to retrace ones steps from sink
to table and back again.
To make pancakes for breakfast In
the efficient kitchen the HOUSEWIFE
takes the materials from the icebox;
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, points
out Miss Haggdrt. For a woman
five feet two inches tall, the proper
height for sink, work table or ironing
board IS 20 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 polish which
will be destroyed If wiped with cloth.
Energy can be saved # the woman
will sit down to work whenever pos
sible. When one stands there is
strain to keep the body erect.

Beaver on the Increase In
Wisconsin, but Extinction
Feared Within Few Years

Although beaver are apparently
doomed to extinction, Wisconsin game
wardens report an increase in the Lake
Superior country, in spite Of the work
Of poachers.
A year or so ago state conservation
wardens received orders to trap the
beaver from the big BfbOn swamp,
which covers the bottom lands for
miles between Mason and Grand View.
Some farmers complained that the
dams built by beavers turned the
swamp upon their lands, and the war
dens were finally ordered to trap the
animals in ordinary steel traps, wound
with cloth, in the hope Of catching
them alive without the infection Of Sc
rious injury, they to be taken alive and
transported to state game preserve.
A few beaver were removed in this
way. but there are still quite num-
Der Of beaver In the Bibon swamp.
In three Wisconsin counties, includ-
ing Sawyer and Rush, the season was
open during December. but 1t is not re-
ported that beaver in any large num-
bers were caught, for It was Illegal to
set traps within 500 feet Of beaver
houses, and trappers who confined
their operation strictly within legal
limits, did not report much success.
The poachers, however, levy constant
tribute on the beaver, still remain
ing in the country, and in spite OF in
creases reported during the past year,
will cause extinction within few
years.

POULTRY MAN
" GIVES ADVICE

The incubator should be ordered six
or eight weeks before it is expected to
start the lamp going, said success
ful poultryman. Many delay ordering
until a week or two before the machine
lie wanted, and are usually disappOtnt-
led because it does not arrive ut the
expected time. During the rush sea-
isOn, incubator manufacturers some
times have more than they can prompt
~ attend to. and some delay in fill
ling orders Is unavoidable. The safe
way Is to order in advance OF the
breeding season. Another advantage
lin ordering is TINT one can take plenty
iof time to adjust and regulate the
machine, and to study the directions
for Its proper operation.
The kind or type Of incubator to buy
win often puzzle the beginner. Two
systems of heating are employed in the
manufacture of incubators-the hot
mir system and the hOt-water system.
In general, 1t may he stated that either
system of heating is satisfactory. l
lnlve three hot-water machines and
system Of heating is not superior to
the other. Each system has Its adj
ynntages, and ii may MISC be stated
that each has it's disadvantages. In
case the. lamp, for any reason. goes
tout a hot-water machine would hold
its heat much longer than would a
lllot-air machine, but with proper at

nave had a fairly good hatch in a hot
tvater machine after the lamp was out
for ten hours. The hot water in the
bipes cools slowly and the heat is re-
kained..in the machine. In a hOt-air
|machiHe, the eggs would likely chill
were the machine kept without heat
hor a few hours. The disadvantage Of
h hot-water machine Is thav there Is
always the danger of the tank or pipes
kpringing a leak and thus running the
eggs in the machine. The danger from
this source is not great. however, if
the boiler is kept full of water, and the
machine leveled before starting.
i In purchasing incubators, many Of
those who have had no experience in
artificial incubation, make the mistake
OF purchasing machines Of small

They use corn flour. which. hereto
fore has been almost unknown In our
domestic bakeries, and it would seem
to open the way for very large saw
ing Of our wheat flour. It must be dis
tinctly understood first that there Is
great difference between corn flour
and corn meal. The corn flour In COM
position is practically the same as the
corn meal, but 1t contains little more
protein and starch, and q little less
moisture and fat, the shortage OF rat
being due to the fact that the germ Is
extracted before grinding. 1t must be
further understood that you cannot re-
place all Of the wheat flour with corn
-four, as the corn contains no gluten,
which Is the constituent In wheat Hour
that makes it possible to obtain
raised dough. ! ~.
However, bread and rolls made with
20 per cent of corn -four have little or
no corn taste. and this is the percent
age, which has been found after long
experiments, to produce the best bread.
The same proportion ca'n be. used also
Tor griddle cakes, pastry and cakes.
To make bread as 1t is made In the
average household, where a sponge Is
set and no accurate measure OF the
-four is made, the better plan is to mix
q quantity Of the two flours, keep 1t
on hand and use the mixture instead of
wheat -four. For 20 per cent mix
tnre, take one quart Of corn -four and
four quarts of wheat -four, mix thor
oughly, preferably by putting through
q flour sitter three or four times. OF
course, larger quantities may be
mixed at one time, keeping the proper
proportion. In pastry even larger pro-
portions of the corp hour may be used.
In making bread, pastry. etc. use this
mixture in exactly the same proper
lions and treat It exactly Is you would
ordinary -four.
In nutritive value the difference BE-
tween the mixed -four bread and the
all.wheat -four bread is very slight.
Their food value II practically the
same, and II white corn -four Is used

Life of a Baby Depends
On Care and Decent Home
Conditions Given Mother

Reports made by the federal chill
dren's bureau show that the chances
for life of baby grow appall1ngly less
as the fathers earnings grow smaller.
Some of the figures quoted in the re-
port are pathetically eloquent. The
report is made upon studies of Infant
mortality among 1900 babies in eight
American cities, typical industrial cit
les of the East and middle West.
Here are some of the statistics {:
One-fourth of all the fathers earned
less than $3.50 year. It was found
that in such families one baby In ev-
cry six died. Only about one-eighth
of the fathers earned $1,O50 or more,
and it appeared that in this class only
one baby in sixteen died. It Is as
serted that the rise of prices and the
disorganization of social and indus
rial life on account of the war &C.
centuate the importance of this per-
sistent relation Of income to infant
mortality. ~
The fina1 deduction seems to be en-
bodied in these words: 'These studies
show that to provide mothers care
and decent home conditions, the IA
theirs must have adequate incomes.
In Manchester, N. H., nearly one
fourth of the mothers whose husbands
earned less than $3.50 a year were
gainfully employed: only about tenth
when the husbands wages were 81

who went out to work died at more
than twice the rate Of more fortunate

Broken Wings

The matrimonial romance of
Sam Wing, the popular restaura-
teur of Winslow, was short lived
and is now stranded on the rocks
in the divorce court, the official
papers having been served on
Mrs. Wing by the Sheriff's office
Wednesday morning. About two
months ago Sam secured a mar
rlage license to marry one Alice
Walds, character with police
reputation who had taken up her
residence in the town, and who
was one of the witnesses in the
Marlay murder trial. County At
torney Larson appeared on the
scene, however, and stopped the
proceedings, because under our
laws a Chinaman cannot marry a
woman who has Caucassion blood
in her veins. Not to be disap-
pointed, the couple went to Flag
staff, where another license was
secured, and the ceremony was
performed by Judge Perkins.
Alice Immediately took charge of
the A. C. hotel, and the police
bad a job watching the place.
Now comes Sam in his petition
for divorce, in which he sets out
that his spouse of few weeks
has been guilty Of infdelity, which
is quite shock to his nerves, and
he prays to be released from the
matrimonial ties. Col. Burbage
is representing Sam in the pro-
ceedings.
