Rules For SUSSEX County
Kitchen Contest For
Next Year.

If you walk u mile in making a
pie for your family's dinner, or 8
miles a day in doing your house
work, it is probably due to an in
convenient kitchen. If the end of
the day finds you Overtired and ner-
vOus with the work which you plan
ned not yet accomplished, with the
meals not prepared on time thus up
setting the plans and dispositions of
the entire family, it is well to turn
your attention to one cause of your
fatigue, the Kitchen.
One thousand or more meals are
prepared, 8 acres of dishes washed
and dried, the laundry done, and
many other tasks crowded into the
average kitchen during the course
of year, so it is most essential
that this room be as convenient as
possible. I;

startling facts relating to the kit
chen and the physical we'll being of
the housewife, the one purpose of
such a contest is:
