So Joanna, convinced against her

| door, you feel almost as IL you were

ent and penetrating are the doors

This matter Is simplified when the
family lives in q house and compli-

! one room serves a duplex purpose.
The first idea that comes to mind Is
to air the rooms. This is the one and

and the airing may be brief to blow
away the odors. Sweet, fresh air can

| the cooking Is prolonged, some other
way must be found before the final
one Of opening windows, especially
when the air is frosty and rooms hard
| to heat.
Cabbage Odor.
There are few moro unpleasant
smells from cooking than those which
arise from boiling cabbage or cauli-
flower. Fortunately this can be pre-
vented almost entirely If not quite
so. Put little saleratus in the boil
ing salted water, and drop the leaves,
or cut pieces of the cabbage or the
fiowrets Of the caulifiower into it
gradually. Not only will the smell
be prevented. but the vegetables will
cook in a very short time. The deli
cate green color will not be lost.
So the dish will be more attractive
as well as odorless. Be sure to have
the cover OFF tho kettle during the
entire time of cooking.

m IN
smell when cooking, SO a way to pre-
vent this will be welcome. When
the onions begin to Doil, invert the
cover on the saucepan and put little
coffee in it. The result is amazing.
A pleasant odor arises, not a dis
agreeable one.
Burnt Sugar effective.
A little sugar burned on the top OF
stove will overcome the smell of
burnt milk. Put the sugar in a fry
ing pan, II you have gas range
without lids. 1t ID amazing what
penetrating and agreeable aroma
rises from burnt sugar. Coffee may
be used in the same way. Either can
be burnt to overcome various dis
agreeable cooking odors.
Avoid Greasy Smells.
II fat is being extracted from meat,
either to use for drippings or for making
soaps, it should never be allowed to
do more than slowly simmer. This
may prevent the unpleasant greasy
smell entirely; If not, burn the sugar,
and air the rooms until the odor has
gone, and then lower the flame even
more and extract the fat more slow
ly.
Keep Air Fresh.
After cooking, air rooms thorough
ly to make the atmosphere fresh and
sweet The added oxygen in the
rooms will make them heat quickly
again.
