ed States by the China Famine Fund,
Kentucky has raised so far nearly
| 5000, while New York, which stands
out by far as the leading state, has
raised $S00000 approximately. But
Kentucky's population is one fifteenth
that of New York, and Kentucky
stands tenth in the list, the Rev. e. Y
Mullins, chairman Of the China FAM
inc Fund, points out with pride. In ad-
dition to this sum raised in Kentucky
by the China Famine Fund committee,
an equal amount, raised by Kentucky
church organizations for the starving
inhabitants of China and forwarded to
New York prior to the appointment of
DR.. Mullins as chairman, has been
credited to the New York headquarters
of the fund which is in charge OF
Thomas Lamont.
One outstanding feature of the re-
port on the collections throughout the
nation is that California has contri-
buted nearly 100000 for the relief of
the Chinese. "That is because Cali
fornia knows the Chinese" said the
Rev. DR.. P. B. Hill. DR.. Hill, pastor OF

EFFICIENCY AT HOME
GREATLY INCREASED
BY WORKING PROGRAM

Household efficiency Is a matter
of studying ones motions about
each bit of homework until one
has studied out standard and
economical way Of doing every
task, then to arrange a definite
working schedule for each day
The next step is to study the ar
rangement of the kitchen, the
work shop of the homo and the
final step is the selection of most
efficient tools.
Each kind Of work has its own
special tools. They should be
grouped together in order to save
steps and time. Utensils and cleo
trical appliances should be selected
because they fill real need, are
well made. are easy to keep clean,
are proper material for the pur-
pose intended. are good looking in
appearance.
Household labor savers should
fit naturally into one or more OF
the following classes: Labor savers,
time savers, step savers and drudge
emancipators. The electric washer
and the dish washer are examples
Of the latter, the electric cleaner is
time saver and the electric iron
is a step saver.

THE BUSY HOUSEXEEPElS'S
WINDOW GARDEN.

"Why do my plants droop and
die?" is the opening line Of many
letters that I receive each winter.
Then when / read farther down in
the letter / find that the readers
plants were of the variety which
require care and that they were
not receiving the necessary
amount.
The average housekeeper Is too
busy to fuss much over plants.
Therefore she should choose, for
her indoor garden, the plants that
are easy to take cafe of. In this
case are begonias, primroses, ger
aniums, imDatiens. cylamens and
ADDITIONS ('flowering maplesD
These six will flourish without
constant spraying and Swinging, Il
they have good drainage, a rea-
sonable amount of sunlight, ant
are in room free from escaping
gas. Here are some points re-
garding these plants which may be
helpful.
Cyclamens are properly classed
as among the bulbs, but are mora
commonly purchased as started
plants. Although all of these six
plants which have named must
have sunlight, cyclamens will
flower without a great amount OF
direct sunlight and this is also
true of Observation-Disclosures the sun
is needed to give them a high
color.
Geraniums, on the other hand
must have all the direct sunlight
possible through the entire win
ter. They need a south window
and should be kept as close to the
glass as possible. Only in this
way will they flower through the
colder months when the days are
short. Young. stocky geraniums
are needed for the best display,
although plants which have been
taken up from the garden will do
we'll If they have been cut back
with an unsparing hand.
The primrose is perhaps the
most reliable continuous flower
ing plant which may be4chosen.
The best of the begonia family,
for the average garden, are those
of the Semper Florens type. The
variety called prima donna is a
splendid one, having a lovely shade
of pink.
All of these plants named will
flourish II given plenty of sunlight
and watered freely. It is taken
for granted that good soil is used
in the pots and that there are

will not trickle down the sides be-
tween the soil and the pots in
stead of percolating through the
soil. The pots should not be filled
to the top with earth, or there
will be no place for the water. The
geranium is the one plant which
should not receive too much water,

AN ELECTRICAL MEAL

Better cookery IS not only pro-
NOTED by the actual operation OF
a good electric range but also by
the cleanliness of it's electric heat
which leaves no deposit on uten-
sils; by the economy in food saw
ing in the electric method of roast
ing, baking, broiling, stewing; by
the sense of safety which comes
with the use Of flameless fuel, by
the perfection of flavor which
marks each dish that is electrical
ly cooked and by the knowledge
that bettery cookery can be
achieved when using modern scien-
tific equipment.
Sunday dinner cooked in electric
range:
Roast Pork-Apple Sauce

q damp cloth, place in a dripping
pan, dredge with salt, pepper and
flour and place in slow oven to

be cooked about twenty-five min
utes to the pound,
Glazed Sweet Potatoes: Wash,
pare and parboil four good-sized
sweet potatoes. Drain, cut into
lengthwise slices about one-half
inch thick and lay in baking
dish. Spread thickly with a syrup
made from ore-fourth cup butter,
one-half cup brown sugar and one
fourth cup hot water. Bake until
tender.
The Salad: Dip halves of pre-
served pears into thick salad
dressing. Lay on lettuce leaves and
stick in shredded almonds in rows.
Preparing the Meal: Allow one
and one-half hours for the roast.
Parboil the sweet potatoes for ten
minutes, Drain and prepare for

for them to bake. Make the salad
earlier in the morning and arrange
