FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

The Rule of «Wm4c 'Not." The little foxes spoil the vines, the little leaks wreck the ship, and the littlA losses in the kitchen help to create H deficit at the end of the year. When thriftlessness Is not doe to ignorance, It Is plain, unadulterated moral weakness, and any woman ought to be ashamed of herself who Is guilty of the offense of letting things go to waste in her kitchen, as much so as If she were caught In the commission of the most flagrant sin. If the thriftlessness due to ignorance, then the best thing the housewife can do is to go to school where she can learn the A B C’s of domestic economy. Many women buy economically, but waste what they have by lack of care. For instance, often when the white of an egg is used the yolk is left to harden and is Anally thrown out By pouring a little water over the top of it the yolk may be kept soft. If hardened it may be brought back to a usable condition by adding to it a little milk. The white of an egg may be kept without any difficulty provided it is kept covered. In most families bread is a greatsource of waste. If spread with butter on the crust when first taken from the oven it will keep fresh longer. If this is not done the loaf should be left in wrapping paper and will then retain Its moisture. Bun the dry bread through the chopper and save the crumbs for croquettes and for the various purposes for which crumbs are so necessary. Right here it may be said that in these twentieth century days no kitchen should be without a chopper. t The uses to which it can be put are innumerable.

A Kitchen Convenience. Of course everybody likes to keep the cook in a good humor and is willing to do anything to maintain her in that desirable state of mind. Nothing does more to help this cause along than improved methods and means of preparing the daily meals. The picture illustrates a newly patented vegetable cooker, the working of

THE VEGETABLE COOKER.

which will be clearly seen. Cabbages, potatoes or any other article of food to be boiled or broiled are placed In the wire cage, and this is suspended In the pot of water or above a steaming pan. When the food is cooked to tne proper extent the cage is withdrawn, the water runs off the vegetables, and you have well prepared food and a smiling cook.
