in the tea cup tlie full charm of is revealed the flavor is ptire fresh and fragrant try it black mixed or green blends womxxmb my new labor savers talking to a group of farm women recently at a club meeting someone asked me this question what labor- saving devices have you added to your home during the last year that you think after thorough testing are worthy of a permanent place in the uptodate household it is the reply i made or a report of twelve tested tools which are favor ites in my kitchen that i am going to relate to you first on the list comes a butter curler an inexpensive help which i employ to scrape over a pat of golden fat to make pretty fascinating shapes to add charm to the table and zest to the bread butter served in this way is an edible garnish adding a festive touch to the board then there is the pie pan with per forations in the bottom i used to blame the oven when the under crust was not cooked enough i have no need of excuses nowadays these holes in the pan permit the heat to enter and bake the pastry before the filling has a chance to soak into it if you bake batches of cookies or biscuits youil enjoy a baking sheet i have two of them when one is cover ed with cookies and placed in the oven which is almost filled by it other articles of dough are cut out and ar ranged on the second sheet to be bak ed when the- first lot is cooked- im still amazed at the way tho time in baking has been reduced by these simple conveniences i have a scraper that is fine for re moving the skin from potatoes pars nips turnips and carrots that lovely orange hue of carrots which makes tho roots appear like nuggets of gold is most intense directly under the skin these color pigments frequently aro discarded when a knife is used for paring this scraper which consists of a flat piece of stone composition with a handle that slips over the hand avoids much waste from thick parings especially in those kitchens where young daughters help prepare the meals angelfood cake is a favorite sweet in my family but i always disliked to sift the flour and sugar so many times until i purchased the sifter i now use it resembles a bucket with lids which fasten securely at both ends tho sifter i3 in the centre dividing the space into two compartments flour or sugar placed in the bucket may be sifted back and forth quickly by turnl ing tho device up and down a wet mop for use in cleaning floor3 is another happy addition to my home i it has a handle from which the soft and durable cotton threads which form the mop proper may be removed for washing 1 fasten the same handle to my wall brush when cleaning house of course your husband may be more thoughtful about sharpening the kitchen knives than most men but perhaps a small sharpener in the cab inet drawer will come in mighty handy when it is too cold for the man of the house to work on the grindstone or when he is too busy to consider the knife with which his bacon is cut ive found the appliance which is not cost ly a great raver of nerve strain dur ing the ten months i have had it these tops could be purchased to fit on old tables i ordered one no oil cloth has been bought since then neither have i spent many minutes scouring wood surfaces my new can opener is a joy it 13 manipulated like a pair of scissors with its aid it is just as easy to open a can of food as it is to cut off a yard from a bolt of gingham in one drawer of my cabinet i keep my tomahawk a heavy hammer hat chet chisel and nail puller all com bined in one tool ive almost had to glue it to the house to prevent the men from taking it to the barn and leaving it on their workbench perhaps the greatest strength savei- of all is the vacuum suction cleaner that is used in every room where there are rugs or carpets this ncnelectric appliance removes the dust and dirt quickly last is the set of clothes hangers i added to all the closets even to the one off tho kitchen where the work wraps are kept 1 want to mention tho hanger on which four pairs of trousers may be hung and on one hook at that these devices have made the gettingready hours fairly pleasant occurrences another piece of equipment needs to be added as a postscript or as a womans inevitable last word it is tho chest of heavy corrugated paper for storing clothing not in use these boxes are covered with cedarized pa per the fragrance of which scares away moths perhaps the b3t part about these containers is that they may be folded flat when not in use for a long time i dreamed of finding a solution to the home storage of woolen clothing in the summer my dreams came true in the form of these paper chests which i recommend to you n n a touch of chivalry by amy brtjner almy forage part 1 a small plump chickauea upon a
