The plumbing should be easy of access, and therefore it is better that there should be no closet under the sink. Hooks or shelves under the sink or near it will accommodate everything usually kept in the dark, often musty, "sink closet" of older kitchens. A sink closet can be kept sweet and clean but it means extra work to do it.
 Location or Drain Boards.
 If possible, there should be wide shelf or drain, board on each side of the sink on the level with the rim of the latter, one to receive soiled dishes and the other clean ones. Some housekeepers have these covered with zinc. As in all other places where it is used, the metal must be neatly fit ted and closely fastened down so as not to leave any chance for loose, rough edges, or to provide breeding places for insects or a lodging place for grease and dirt. If there is ITO place for permanent drain boards, sliding or hinged shelves may be used. A right-handed person usually holds the dish in the left hand whie wash ing or wipling it, and the dihscloth, dish mop, or towel in the right hand. It is convenient, therefore, to have the dishes move from right to left as they pass from dish pan to rinsing pan, and from rinsing pan to drainer and tray. This should be kept in mind, and provision made for soiled dishes at the right and for a drain board at the left of the sink.

We'll Located Sink Reduces
 Housewives Kitchen Work

One of the biggest savers of time. strength, and labor in the kitchep is the sink. Yet many women are struggling along with none at all or, at best, poor and badly placed one. The following suggestions in regard to sinks are given by household spe- cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture:
 The size of the family and of the kitchen must determine the size of the sink, but a short sink with ample table and shelf room near it may be more convenient than a long sink. dishes near the dining room and the other for general use in the kitchen, are very convenient.
 No Cracks or Square Corners.
 The material should be the best available, nonabSorbent of grease as well as of moisture, and there should be no cracks or square corners to in- crease the work of keeping it clean. A wooden sink, even when it receives an annual coat of paint, will absorb moisture and grease which attract in sects, and is likely to be swarming with bacteria and to "Sour" and have an unpleasant odor. Even drain boards of f.wood are not recommended unles sthey have waterproof finish of varnish, oil, or paint. If a wooden sink is necessary, it is better to have it metal lined, provided the sheets or metal, which is usually tin, zinc, gall vanized iron, copper or lead, are soldered where they are joined and all parts of the sink, including the tops of the sides, are covered with the
 metal, so that there is no chance for E the wood to absorb moisture. Anoth- CT plan is to have a cement sink built into a wooden frame and lined with sheet copper or tin.
 Iron sinks of good quality are su- perior to wooden ones, since they do k not absorb Grease or moisture and are E durable. They are easily kept clean if smooth (and they will soon wear smooth), but they have the disadvan- |s claiming their cleanliness. Unless E the front is protected by strip Of |; wood, the dresses and aprons of the r. worker are likely to become stained with iron rust.
 A soapstone or a slate sink is dur Is able, but sometimes becomes uneven Ih with wear. and if this happens much Ix brushing and scrubbing are required b gather in the Impressions whne vege- Is tables are cleaned, dishes washed, etc. E Like iron, they do not show whether E' they are clean or not.
 Enameled-iron sinks are smooth, last well with careful use, and may be 1 easily kept clean, but they are more Inexpensive than iron. Porcelain sinks Y are similar to the enameled ones, but IS haps the ideal plpan, if cost is not to F be considered, would be to have an enameled or porcelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or the pantry snear the dining room and an iron or kksoapstone sink for the heavier kitchen ware.
 The double sinks. with one basin for washing and another for draining l7dishes, are very convenient, but un- fortunately they are relatively eXpen- sive. A small sink with a rubber stopper for it's escape pipe may be used as a. dish pan.

after its feverish opening, when selling
was prompted by further banking
trouble in the Northwest Shorts COW
cred, however, and the market advanced
IA to ia cents a bushel at the days
high. but lost about 2 cents of that gain
before the close. Shorts were led to
cover their lines by reports that about
100000 bushels Of wheat had been
worked for Germany since Friday night.
There were also reports that the British
Commission was seeking Manitoba wheat
again. Some traders were OF the opin-
ion that the decline had gone far enough
and that, with wheat dropping under
81 80 on Friday, n good rally probably
would result Sentiment is mixed, as
other traders stlll believe that grains
will drop further
Corn was fairly active and strong.

Disappointing receipts and better tone
in wheat led to buying in the corn mar

crease of more than s5,000,000 In de-
posits accompanied by a loss of cash
reserve OF member banks in the Reserve
Bank amounting to 1862, O0O was re-
sponsible for the deficit, and the loss in
cash reserve. which was corrected at the
beginning of business yesterday, was in
turn due to Withdrawals of United States

s35,447000 at the close of last week.
Loans contracted further, the decrease
