GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
By Laura A. Kirkman.
ARRANGING THE
KITCHEN EFFICIENCY

Happy is the woman who has the op-
portunity Of planning her Kitchen in a new
home, and doubly happy Is she who knows
how il should be done.
Few housekeepcrs realise that the IA
tigue they now take for granted could he
eliminated to Az astonishing degree if
the kitchen equipment were properly
placed We AL know that . small kitchen
is easier 10 work in than large one, but
even the largest kitchens may be made
efficient by reaTanging the working
centeTs Most kitchens arc arranged IN
. haphszard fashion with the various
piec,.s of equipment placed in relation to
the wall spaces instead Of IN relation TO
one another
II every housekeepcr would make
number OF plans Of her kitchen with the
equipment indicated. and would trace on
these plans the journeys she makes IN
doing certain household tasks, she would
be surprised TO see how much unnecessary
ground she covers.
She goes TO the ice box for perishable
foods and the rest is kept in the kitchen
cabinet in the small containers that are
replenished from the larger stores in the
pantry The actual preparation of food
i done on the moulding board of the
cabinet and all preparing tools should
be kept in its drawers. 1t is a splendid
idea TO have extra shelves made TO hold
mixing bowls and other crockery on one
side of the cabinet, and biscuit pans, ct
cetera on the other
The ice box and the cabinet are the
starting points of all food journeys, so
they ought 10 be placed near together.
The next Journey is TO the stove or 10 the
6reless cooker (which should stand on a
low bench beside the stove so that the
heated discs may be lifted from the one
into the other without unnecessary steps.
Food cannot he carried from the stove
directly To the diningroom table. 1t
must be transferred into serving dishes;
so the kitchen table Is the next step, and
from there into the dining room. IL is
unwise TO dish the food on the cabinet, for
it is apt 70 be Uttered from preparations,
and does not provide space enough.
The stove Is fixed piece and, while
it may be moved, it Is usually more con-
venient to allow II TO remain where 1T Is
and 70 arrange other pieces III relation to it
In many kitchens it would be impossible
to carry out the suggested arrangement,
but parts of it could be adapted. The
cabinet and the ice box could be neighbors,
at least and the stove could have tho fire.
less cooker placed near IL; while the table
might stand near the diningroom door.
The sink is an independent factor and
should have shelves near IL for the clean
dishes. When these are carried into the
pantry, tray wagon should be used or
large lacGuered tray

LAST YEARS HANGINGS.

Are YOU ono OF those housekeepeis who
like 20 have the curtains and other
hspgings up in tho summer?
There used to be a great many women
who took down all hansings IN the summer
and didn't put them up again tall autumn
They thought that hangings were out OF
place IN summer

and velour hangings are out n place in
summer, but on The other hand nging-
less windows look bare and IN ractlve

wolfe and scrim art such admin able
hangings for summer that they are used
m all carefully furnished summer cot
tages.
In tho last decade, many women who
before they put their window curtains
and door porticres away with the flying
OF the first moth or the humming OF the
first mosquito, have come to have special
curtains. They have summer cuI tains
of thin materials for the summer months.
And these curtains go away in the au-
tumn, TO be brought forth IN spring TO
replace the heavier winter curtains
Other women leave the same curtains
up the year round, taking them down only

and pressed
Perhaps you have new winter curtains
which YOU don't like 10 have faded by
summer suns. Very well Then by all
means substitute summer curtains for
them. These you can make, perhaps, from
old curtains stored away in the attic 4

but the whole result will be attractive

effect produced by pattern against back

ing process.
Nightly applications of Vick's
VapoRub will aid nature in this
work. Because Vicks acts locally
by stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, at
tract the blood away from tho
congested spots and relieve the
cough. In addition, the medici-
nal ingredients of Vicks are
vaporized by the body heat.
These vapors arc breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon
the infatned areas. ~
Vicks should be rubbed in
over the throat and chest until
the skin is red-thcn spread on
thickly and covered with hot
flannel cloths. Leave the cloth
ing loose around the neck and
the bed clothes arranged in the
form Of a funnel so the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled. If
the cough is annoying. swallow a
small bit of Vicks the size of pea.
Samples to new users will be
sent free on request TO the Wick
