The saving of al! liquors in which
vegetables have been cooked is not
just saving waste, but it is saving
many of the valuable mineral matters
which give vegetables their value In

as sauces for vegetables or many be
used in making gravies as well.
Rub little fat into the skins of the

SHOWS BIG COST

New YOrk.-Ten cents Of every dol.

used. The housewife is granted, un-
der the Second group, IS cents an hour
at the rate Of two hours a day for
300 days in the year. Whether or not
she receives any actual pay, the work
Is still chargeable since it is time
which any woman might employ for
cash profit. Likewise, says Millar, the
cleaning Of railway cars, automobiles
and even the grooming Of 10000, 600
horses that still exist In the country
ultimately becomes charge upon the
Individual.
"Food and shelter lead in the cost

Of cleanliness is higher than that Of
clothes, education, amusements, own

things that figure more prominently

A small table especially for their use
Is an essential part of the household
furnishing where there are children.
Such table can be used both for the
children's meals and as place to play
when they are indoors. To 60 with 1t
there should be small sturdy chairs,
comfortable for the knees when the
children are seated at the table, Of the
right height to permit them to sit with
their feet squarely on the floor, and of
just the right shape in the seat and
back to help them maintain good pos
rure. Sometimes plain, strong table al
ready In the house can be cut down to
answer the purpose. If need be, lit
tie paint or enamel will brighten 1t up
and make 1t easier to keep clean. Lit
tie children at times spill their food.
Since this must be accepted as cheer
fully as possible during the period
when they are learning to feed them
selves, the table and floor should be
washable.
When children eat apart from the
adults there are fewer distractions.
The fact that grownups sometimes
have different foods from those served
the children passes unnoticed. If there
Is maid or some one else who can
serve the children quietly and efficient
ly apart from the family, they may
have their meals at the family meal
hours, but most mothers find it more
convenient and less distracting to the

.ICE WELL" GOOD
AS REFRIGERATOR
Cooling System Made From
Hole in Ground.

On hot sultry days next summer the
farmer and his family will be chasing
the butter around the dish with a
spoon unless some sort Of refrigera-
ton system has been installed on the
farm.
Where the usual cooling systems are
too expensive or otherwise impractic.
able the "ice we'll" may solve the prob.
lem, especially on farms in the North.
This unique cooling system is de.
scribed briefly as 'hole in the
ground in which large solid cake
Of ice is formed by running in a small
quantity Of water daily during freez-
ing weather." A small house over the
pit serves as milk house through the
summer. Cans of milk and cream are
lowered to the ice through trapdoor
in the floor.
Dairy officials Of the United States
Department of Agriculture constructed
and tested an ice well at the depart
ment's dairy field experiment station
at Mandan, N. Dak., last season and
report highly satisfactory results for
that region. Freezing was started in
January. BY the end of February there
was block Of Ice feet square by 6A
feet deep. Meat, fruit, and vegetables,
as well as milk and cream, kept per-
fectly. Cream was kept in a perfectly
sweet condition for IA days during
July, the hottest part Of the summer.
The ice lasted until well into October.
The ice-well method has been used
to some extent in Canada. The south.
ern limit of Its adaptability in the
United States has not been determined
as yet.

Stuffed Plum Salad

A salad that may he made with any
large plums that are firm enough to
admit of handling are good for this
salad. Wash and wipe the fruit and
cut in halves lengthwise. Remove the
stones and fill the cavities with cream
cheese which has been blended with
french dressing. Arrange on lettuce
leaves, allowing two halves for each
serving. Insert three pecans or other
nut meats in each plum half and serve
with sweetened salad dressing.

Whole Cooked Chicken
in Cans Now on Market

A whole cooked chicken in a tin can
is a new thing in the marketing of
poultry products that has recently
been brought to the attention of the
public, says the bureau of agricultural
economics, United States Department
Of Agriculture. The birds are inspected
for wholesomeness before cooking, by
bureau representatives operating un-
der a nationwide inspection service
for the quality and condition of dairy
and poultry products. If the consumer
prefers to do his own cooking, he
may buy bird that has been dressed
