MAKE YOUR KITCHEN
CONVENIENT

Although the details of arrange
ment of every kitchen are more or
less problems in themselves, the
general scheme remains the same
because the chief work in all is
preparing and serving food, and
washing dishes and utensils. Make
you kitchen so convenient that you
can reduce your hours in it to a
minimum, suggests the Bureau of
Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
How is your kitchen situated in
relation to the dining room, the
front and back doors, the telephone,
the cellar and the pantry +? Make,
if you can, in the connecting wall
between the kitchen and dining
room a twoway cupboard for storing
china and passing food and dishes.
If you can also place your sink ad-
Joining this cupboard on the kitchen
side, you will save many steps in
handling the dishes and silver which
are kept in the cupboard.
Group the equipment in the
kitchen into working centers for
preparing raw food, cooking, serv-
ing, and dish washing. Store food
supplies as near the food prepare
ton center as possible in cupboards
or receptacles proof against dust
and household pests. Provide good
wall or drop lights, or lamps in
brackets, over the sink and stove
and any other work centers, SO that
when your tasks continue after
dark, you can see what you are
doing. If you can have a window
above your sink you will find it a
great blessing.
Arrange for kitchen ventilation
to carry off cooking odors and main
tain a comfortable temperature.
Choose finishes for floor, walls, and
woodwork that are easy to keep
clean, durable, and pleasing to the
eye. Set sink, work table, and
other large equipment at such
height that the worker does not
have to stoop over them.
Running water-both hot and
cold, if possible, lis the greatest
boon housekeeper can possibly
have in a kitchen. Your State ex-
tension people will tell you ways to
install water system inexpensively
if you have none. Provision for the
sanitary disposal of waste and
garbage is also extremely important.
Think first, last, and always of
suiting the kitchen to the work
done in it. This practical test can
be applied to every feature from the
floor plan to the hanging of the
smallest saucepan.

doing they set a precedent in the
matter Of other foods and make the
teaching Of good nutrition harder.
One or two articles are not enough
to supply child's needs for meal.
In order that there be normal devel-
opment, there must be variety.
Fresh eggs, whole cereals, fruits in
season and leafy vegetables should
occupy an Important part in the grow
ing child's dietary. Then, too, GER
tain amount of concentrated food Is
necessary for children, because rapid
growth whets their appetites to a
razor edge, so that they crave more
food than their systems can well dis
pose of. Evaporated milk, diluted
with orange juice as drink, or in
custards or other baked foods, is es-
pecially beneficial for the growing
child for the reason that it is concen-
trated to double the richness Of or
binary cows milk and Is entirely
sterile as well. The can of evaporated
milk solves the problem of obtaining
perfectly pure milk, as well as the
problem Of lack of refrigeration facil-
tiles, since this type Of milk will keep
Mfef1nitely In the can.

WINTER MILK
DEPENDS UPON
SUMMER CARE

It is a strange fact-but never.
theless q fact-that In summer,
when cows really need the best
care, they usually get the least.
Though many dairymen are not
aware Of it. a cows condition dur
ing fall and winter depends almost
entirely on the care and feed she
gets in summer, and her milk pro-.
duction for the following year is.
influenced very largely by her diet
during these months.
To produce the most during the
winter months, when milk prices
are highest, cow must, start the
fall feeding season in good condi-
ton. If she has been for three
or four months in the summer on
a diet of pasture only, she cannot
possibly do it, though her milk
yield may not reflect that fact i'm
mediately. For q while she will
take milk or her back and put 1t
in the pail. producing milk at the
expense of flesh and condition.
Milking cows cannot get enough

but in the scorching heat of sum-
mer, with pastures drying up. they
actually use up more physical en-
ergy grazing for feed than they get
from the grass they eat. That Is
why many dairy authorities have
made the fiat statement that grass
in midsummer, is literally star

Heat and flies add their torment
to this condition. A high produc-
ing cow is invariably good feeder,
but no COW can feed as she should

Actual tests have showed that

dairymen take full advantage Of
good pasture, but the best prac-
tice is to keep the cows in cool,

always available, turning them out
al night to Craze and rest.
Adding a reasonable. but regular,
grain ration to grass throughout
this season Is dairy practice that
pays dividends. The amount of

with the amount of milk the indi-
vidual COW produces, and to some
extent with her breed. Dairymen
can easily obtain advice as to the
host schedule to follow from their
feed dealer.

.ChiId's Health
Maintained By
WhOIesOn.eDiet

Modern educators are leaning more
each year to the old Greek idea of
rearing, the citizens of the future.
They are working on the principle of
"a sound mind in sound body"
Good health is built primarily on
the foundation of right food. The
sort of food the child has determines
to large extent the fitness of the
man or woman
Children have to be taught to like
the foods that are good for them much
in the same way that they have to be
taught arithmetic and history. Boys
and girls are not born with any par
ticular desire for cereals or for bread.
It's up to their parents to see that
they learn the rudiments of a bal
anced diet and the reason for such a
diet. Firmness and patience are
often necessary In the teaching, but
the job must be done.
Many mothers unconsciously put
their children under health handicaps
by allowing them to use their own
discretion In the matter Of eating
candy, fruit, nuts and cookies. By so
