Suggestions.
Business Efficiency in the Kitchen
keep your storeroom we'll stock
ed. Accidents will happen in the
best regulated families" and oc-
casionally the head of the house"
or one of the children will be call
ed upon to dash forth to get some
bread, butter or coffee just at meal
time, or kindly neighbor will be
importuned to lend something with
which to complete the meal, but
usually such emergency measures
are inexcusable. Keep a scratch
pad hanging by the kitchen table
or in the table drawer and jot down
the items that are running low.
When you start on the last box of
matches, the last cake of soap, etc,
order more, and, by the way, it is
much more economical to buy soap
by the box and all staples in as
large quantities as you have room
for. This is especially important
if you are a business woman as
well as a housekeeper. Always
keep plenty of navy beans, rice,
macaroni, ETC.. On hand, also as
many canned things as you have
room for or money to buy. Then
when you have one of those off
days that come to all of US. when
just the ordinary duties of life
drag, or an unexpected guest comes,
the getting of meal may be sim
plified so as to involve as little
work and as much nourishment as
possible.

vent the natural oil of the leather
drying out too rapidly.
The leather on furniture should
be rubbed over occasionally with a
cloth slightly dampened with Oil or
with a good leather polish.
Have you ever made use of dried
picking herbs such as can be
bought at almost any grocery store?
These consist of bits of every sort
of leaves broken in small pieces,
mingled with little bits of dried red
pepper, black peppercorns and 3
dozen or so other things that you
probably never saw growing but
that add delicacy and piquancy to
the picking mixture. Now this
picking mixture is very useful in
fiavoring stews and other meat
dishes. A teaspoonfu1 of it should
be put into a pice of cheesecloth,
tied securely, but allowing plenty
of room for the flaVoring to move
about in the little bag. Simmer
this with the stew. 1t is better to
make use of it this way than to put
