HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Remove stains from fabrics when
the stains are new.
Cook vegetables quickly in an open
kettle to keep them green.
If the pots and pans and kettles are
soaked during the meal it lightens the
work of dishwashing afterwards.
Parents should not have family rows
at the table, If only for the sake of
not spelling child's appetite for food.
Clothes closets should be WELL
equipped, well-lighted. and well-used,
with convenient racks for shoes, hats
and garments.
Can vegetables as soon as possible
after they are brought in from the
garden. Flat-sour may develop if veg
etables are allA~4sA to stand in q
warm kitchen.

and laundry supplies must be provided
in the kitchen. When this is neces-
sary it is advisable to group the laun-
dry equipment in such way that food
preparation and laundry work will not
interfere with each other.
The picture shows farm kitchen
in Massachusetts where the tubs have
been set next to the sink, for con-
venience in placing water and drain
pipes, and also because of the good
light from the window and the door
opening on the back entry. The tubs
are provided with cover which can
be used as a workable. Such a cover
may be hinged, but If there are pro-
jecting articles on the wall behind it
such as the coffee mill and kitchen
utensils shown In the illustration, it
is probably better to lift it off entirely
when the tubs are required. A piece
of linoleum has been fitted to the
cover in this kitchen, for easier care
and imperviousness to water and
grease.
1t would have been better, if pos
sible, to put the faucets for the tubs
inside instead of above them, not only
to get them out of the way but to pre-
vent any annoyance from dripping,
suggests the bureau of home econom-
les of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This bureau has made
a study of both kitchen and laundry
equipment and is interested in placing
both to eliminate unnecessary labor
and shorten the time spent In these
work rooms by the homemaker.

Act Your Age!
