Each year, owing to the fail
ure of the owners to notify the
office of any change in address,
several thousand blanks are re-
turned undelivered. The De-

The Department desires to

DINING ALCOVE
HAS MANY USES
Nook in Kitchen Provides
Place for Comfort.

I prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Do you have d comfortable spot in
your kitchen where you can sit down
for some of your tasks? We hear
much in connection with modern
housekeeping about saving energy by
sitting at. ones work, and there is NO
doubt but that a high stool at the
sink or ironing board is often a great
help and back saver. There are many
other kinds of work done in the ktch-
en-, too, for which one might be seated
if there was an inviting corner and
comfortable working surfaces handy
shelling peas stringing beans, picking
over fruit for canning, even peelins
potatoes and apples or Gaping ber-
ries, although these foods may after
wards have to be washed at The sink
one of the great advantages of
breakfast alcove" or dining recess
or whatever you like to call such
nook off the kitchen is that it provides
just this sort of place for working in
comfort. The top Of the table is cas-
lily protected by paper or oilcloth if
the work makes dirt. For many OF
these tasks two people join forces at
times. and there is not room for both
at the sink, but here sociable half
hour can be made of an otherwise I'M
interesting task.
A place for keeping track, of house
hold expenses, particularly foods and
kitchen supplies, is almost a necessity,
and in such an alcove there is comfort,
quiet and order and the records can
be attended to in those intervals that
occur while something is cooking,
when there is not enough time to
warrant going to another part-of the
house to sit. Meals can be planned
here, too, with one eye on the left
overs in the refrigerator and the 9th
er on the grocery order. A small shelf

There are, however, certain differ

certain stages of the process. In or
Ger to determine what these differ

feet the handling of bread made with
dried milk, Il study was made by the
bureau of dairy industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
1t was found that the hard spring
wheat tlours used in the experiments
reacted more favorably to the use of
dried skim milk than did winter wheat
tlours The range of fermentation
time in which doughs give good bread
is increased by using skim milk. This
adds to the ease of manufacture and
is very important property. The
lactose of the milk imparts desirable
golden-broWn color to the crust of the
baked loaf The texture and color of
the crumb are also improved.

Prolong Life Of Hosiery
If Rinsed in Cold Water

Most women know that silk stock
ingS will wear much longer if washed,
or at least rinsed IN cold water, after
each wearing. There is an acid in
perspiration that r0ts fabric. More
over, there is another reason, and it
applies to all kinds of hosiery, even
mems heavy socks. indeed, it applies
specially to them. Scientists have
studied the effect OF wear upon stock
iags with the aid Of microscopes, AMI
explain in that because the foot
presses unevenly upon its covering,
threads are stretched apart in places
where the pressure is hardest, and
with every days wear farther and

and Shaffer made strong pleas
for their party tickets. Rouse
gave most of his Clintwood
speech to a plea for religious
tolerance, and it is reported
that his presentation of the
matter has won many votes for
the national ticket. Shaffer de-
voted most Of his time to an at

cord on the whiskey question.
Once, when he mentioned APs

enforcement of the prohibition
laws in New York state, there
were cries, of "hurrah for Al'

Er7psy Opened Cars

The practice Cf allowing foods to
stand in open cans is not good house
keeping. After can is opened the
contents should tie stored in clean
vessel preferably of earthenware or
porcelain. However, it Is fair to say
exaggerated. The inner surface of
cans used in packing foods is treated
with a shellac which is insolube in
ordinary food juices. 1t is only when
a flaw is present that acid foods may
attack the container.

prepared by the United States Department

In making white bread the use of
whole or skim milk to supplement
the proteins and minerals of wheat
flour is strongly recommended by the
United states Department of Agri-
culture. Since bread is a staple food
stuff, the use of milk in bread would
insure a better nourished population.
Dry skim milk may be used in bread
making with good results. In addi-
value it improves the general appear
'ance of the bread loaf and enhances
its ease of manufacture.
