Pointers on Building
Attractive Residences

There is hardly anything which
adds so much to the attractiveness
and convenience of kitchen as plenty
OF built-in features. These may be
installed easily at little cost in prac-
tically any kitchen, old or new.
The various cupboards, cabinets,
shelves, and bins can be constructed
readily by the carpenter or contractor
or built up at the millwork house and
installed by the carpenter. The built
in fixtures may be designed by the
housewife to fit her particular needs,
which is not the case when a ready
made piece of kitchen furniture is
bought.
Cupboards, containing shelves,
drawers, and bins, come first. Doug
las fir and West Coast hemlock are
preferred woods for these. Doors and
drawer bottoms of Douglas fir plywood
are strong, light, durable, and will
not warp. Both these species are easy
to machine to give true, square cor
ners and well fitting joints.
1t will pay the housewife to study
her cupboard requirements before or
dering. 1t is just as easy and costs
no more to have enough shelves for
all her food supply rather than having
too few shelves and too many draw
ers. Similarly, if she finds bins heavy
and inconvenient to clean, the builder
can as readily give her wood drawers
lined with metal, to hold flour, sugar,
and cereals. These drawers, if made
to pull out on small rollers, will re-
spond to a touch and no Juggling will
be necessary.
A broom closet with places for
brooms, dustless mops, dust cloths,
and cleaning fluids should be included
in the cupboard plan. The housewife
should also be certain that moulding,
bread and cutting boards have been
included in her cupboard. Excellent
woods for these purposes are vertical
grain Sitka spruce and Douglas fir.
The ironing board is placed in the
kitchen also, unless the housewife has
complete basement room, equipped
for washing and ironing The board,
iron holder, and wood case, set in the
wall may De built satisfactorily either
of Douglas fir or West Coast hemlock.
Care should be taken to make the
height of the board adjustable if diff
ferent people are to use it-West

of New York City. This department is
seeking fundamental facts about chill
dren, and to aid them in this, they
have day nursery school, where
care is taken of little tots between
the ages of two and six years for busy
mothers. They are in the school
from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. each day
and are given the same care as in
the home. This affords the oppor-
tunity of studying the children to-
gether. John E. Anderson, director
of this institution, with the co-opera-
ton of parents, have under super
vision, 81 infants from birth to two
years of age. This research work is
being done so parents may be pro-
vided with more accurate information
concerning the care of their children.
There are 5000 now enrolled in a
correspondence course for mothers on
prenatal care, and a course on adOl-
essence is being prepared. Anyone may
be enrolled by writing the General
Extension Division, University of Min
neSota.
Mrs. Blanche La Due. the chairman
and lady member of the State Board
Of Control, was the speaker at the
evening session. The writer was very
sorry not to be able to stay and hear
all of Mrs. La Dues talk. Some of
the facts received were: There are
Il, 900 boards under the State Board
of Control. These include the county
child welfare boards; there are Is
state institutions with valuation of
80 million dollars under the super
vision of the State Board of Control.
the hospitals for the insane, which
have between 1900 and 1900 patients.
Minnesota is IN pace with the latest
methods of treatment for insane.
The institutions are visited monthly
by the state board and are under
close supervision. The feeble minded
is the next largest institution. Twenty
months before the last legislature.
the State Board of Control tried an
experiment. A vacant club house in
Minneapolis was rented and 81 high
grade feeble minded girls placed
there with supervision. The child
welfare board members of Mime
apolis, aided the girls in securing
work. At the end of the 20 months
these girls had earned $17,5OO. They
paid the rent of the club house,
boarded and clothed themselves and
had small bank accounts. This was
saving of $4,000 to the state. At
that term of the legislature, the state
board was given legal protection for
such action, and a similar institution
is being worked out in St. Paul and
Duluth.
There was on display in the school
rooms an exhibit of the work done
by the inmates of the state institu-
ions, and it is marvellous the talent
that is found and developed in these
handicapped children. Minnesota
leads every state in the Union in it's
program for child welfare, and it does
not only have the program, but IS
putting it into effect.

Several other routes are under con-
sideration and will be added if con-
ditions are found suitable for treat
ment. Not all roads respond to the
treatment equally we'll. The Mime
sofa highway department has had
good success with oil and tar on most
of the routes where it has been tried,
but some road materials do not take
the treatment we'll, and where the
soil is not suitable, it is necessary to
maintain untreated gravel until the
road can be paved.
In highway parlance, oiled and
tarred roads are given the general
name, "bituminOus treated" Such
roads usually stand up under much
heavier traffic than untreated gravel
roads, and where traffic is heavy, the
maintenance cost, after the first treat
ment, is less than the cost of keeping
up an untreated gravel road.
Bituminous treatment is generally
used only where traffic is very heavy,
when no funds are available for paw
ing. 1t is also used in districts where
gravel must be shipped in by train.
In the latter case it is usually cheap
err and just as effective to apply light
gravel and oil or tar it, as it is to
apply heavy gravel without the treat
ment.

1.-TWO Minute Talks"
MISS AUBYN CHINN

We buy life insurance to protect us
against the inability to earn a living
in case of accident or death-we pur-
chase health insurance to make us
better able to earn living each day.
Milk is health insurance at the
cheapest possible rate. The same
quality of necessary food elements
cannot be purchased for twice the
amount in any combination of other
food. A quart of milk for each child
and pint at least for each adult in
the daily diet provides muscle-build-
ing lime and phosphorus, and vita
Minis A and B, furnishes some vita
min D, some iron, and one-fourth the
entire amount of energy value for the
whole day. No wonder milk is called
the protective food, since such a small
amount protects the diet against a
lack of necessary food elements in so
many different directions.
These cream soups are attractive
ways of adding the necessary require
ment of milk to the days menu:
Cream of Celery Soup.
Separate stalks of celery. Use out
side stalks for making soup. Scrape
off brown spots, wash, then cut in
small pieces. Allow C. of water to
1 C. of celery. Cook until celery
is tender. Add salt to taste just be-
fore celery is done. Add this mixture
(using water in which celery is
cooked) to C. of medium white
sauce.
Cream of Vegetable Soup.
p C. carrot
y C. turnip
u C. celery
IL C. potato
y onion /
y C. finely chopped
pork or bacon.
Dice vegetables, cook with pork un-
til tender in just enough water to
cover. Do not add potatoes until
other vegetables have boiled five min
utes. Add this mixture to 4 c. OF
medium white sauce-do not drain
off liquid.
Any cream soup can be made by
using 1 C. of vegetables to 3 C. of
white sauce. The liquid in which the
vegetables are cooked is valuable for
its mineral salts, therefore it is ad-
visable to add this liquid to soup.
When dry vegetables are added, use
3 C. thin white sauce. When vege-
tables plus liquids are added use c.
Medium white sauce
Cream Of Tomato Soup.
1 medium can tomatoes
y onion
T sugar
y t. soda
Cook tomatoes, onions and sugar
together for Is minutes. Strain, add
soda. Pour this mixture into 2 c.
medium white sauce. GA prepared
strained tomato mixture may be used
if preferred.) If soup curdles, beat
with an egg beaten until smooth.
... Cream of Split Pea Soup. .'.'
Soak peas overnight in cold water
u Id. dried split peas
1 small onion ....
Small piece salt pork or bacon
Water
Cook together until peas are very
soft. Then rub through a strainer
and remove skins, onion, and pork.
Add to this 2 C. of thin white sauce.
Cream of Spinach Soup.
Pick over spinach and cut off the
roots. Wash carefully to remove grit.
Cook in large kettle with tightly fit
ting lid (shake each handful of spin
ach as it is removed from the last
water.) Do not add water for cooking.
Cook 10 minutes and remove from fire
Immediately. Cut finely with two
knives. Add this finely cut spinach
and liquid to the thin white sauce.
Allow 1 C. of cooked spinach to c.
thin white sauce.
