L ( -LOCATED SINK HELPS HOUSEWIFE I-Convenience of Worker Determines Size and Location of Sink-Many Women Have None or Poor and Badly Placed Ones-Features of Various Kinds of Sinks. One of the biggest savers of time, trength, and labor in the kitchen is the sink. Yet many women are strug gling along with none at all or, at best, a poor and badly placed one. The following suggestions in regard to sinks are given by household specialis ts of the United States Department of Agriculture: The size of the family and of the kitchen must determine the size of the sink, but a short sink with ample table and shelf room near it may be more convenient than a long sink. Two smaller sinks, one for the table dishes near the dining room and the other for general use in the kitchen, are very convenient. No Cracks or Square Corners The material should be the best av ailable, nonabsorbent of grease as well as of moisture, and there should be no cracks or square corners to increase the work of keeping it clean. A wood en sink, even when it receives an an nual coat of paint, will absorb mois ture and grease which attract insects, and is likely to be swarming with bac teria and to "sour" and have an un pleasant odor. Even drainboards of wood are not recommended unles sthey have a waterproof finish of varnish, oil, or paint. If a wooden sink is neces sary, it is better to have it metal lined, provided the sheets of metal, which is usually tin, zinc, galvanized iron, copper or lead, are solderedI where they are joined and all parts of the sink, including the tops of the sides, are covered with the metal, so that. there is no chance for the wood to absorb moisture. Another plan is to have a cement sink built into a wooden frame and lined with sheet copper or tin. Iron sinks of good quality are super ior to woden ones, since they do not absorb grease or moisture and are durable. They are easily kept clean if smooth (and they will aoon wear smooth), but they have the disadvant age of neither showing dirt nor pro claiming their cleanliness. Unless the front is protected by a strip of wood, the dresses and aprons of the worker are likely to become stained with iron rust. A soapstone or a slate sink is dur able, but sometimes becomes uneven with wear, and if this happens much brushing and scrubbing are required to remove the sand Ind grease that gath er in the depressions when vegetables are cleaned, dishes washed, etc. Like iron, they do not shwo whether they are clean or not. Enameled-iron sinks are smooth, last well with careful use, and may be easily kept clean, but they are more expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks are similar to the enameled ones, but their price is almost prohibitive. Per haps the ideal plan, if cost is not to be considered, would be to have an eniameled or procelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or the pantry near the dining room and an iron or soapstone sink for the heavier kitchen war'e. The double -inks, with one basin for washing and another for draini'ng dishes, are very convenient, but un fortunately they aire relatively expen sive. A small sink with a rubber stop per for its escape pipe may be used as a (ish pan. The plumbing should be easy of ac cess, Ind therefore it is better that there should be no closet undler the sink. IIlooks or shelves under the sink or near' it will accommodate everything usually kept in the dark, often musty, "sink closet" of older kitchens. A "sink closet" can be kept sweet and clean hot it means extra work to do it. Paint, Prid go Hand ir The moral and economic influence o painted house denotes character; pri of yourself and neighbors.

Peaslee -Gaulbert Co., Inc< ALADERM/ Location or Drain Boards If possible, there should be a wide shelf or drain board on each side of the sink on thb level with the rim of the latter, one to receive soiled dish, es and thp other clean ones. Some housekeepers have these covered with zinc. As in all other places where it is used, the metal must be neatly fit ted and closely fastened down so as not to leave any chance for loose, rough edges, or to provide breeding 1 places for insects or a lodging place < for grease and dirt. If there is no place for permanent drain boards, sliding or hinged shelves may be used. A right-handed person usually holds a the dish in the left hand while wash- I ing or wiping it, and the discloth, dish mop, or towel in the right hand. It is convenient, therefore, to have the i dishes move from right to left as they < pass from dish pan to rinsing pan, and < from rinsing pan to drainer and tray. < This should be kept in mind, and pro- I vision made for soiled dishes at the right and for a drain board at the left f the sink. b QUALITIES A LOAF OF GOOD HOMEMADE BREAD POSSESSES Good homemade bread is about the most appetizing of foods when one is hungry, but there are many kinds of homemade bread. Some is good, some is bad, and some indifferent. Which kind do you make? If you don't know, judge it by the following de scription of a good loaf given by the Home Economic Kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture: Good bread is porous and contains large number of holes or cells, all f which are of about the same size ind shape. It is better for some rea ions to think of it as a mass of tiny bubles made of flour and water and iardened or fixed in shape by means f heat. This calls attention not only to the size of holes or cells, but also to the character of walls of the cells, which in good bread are always very thin. A loaf of bread should be light in weight, considering its size, and < should have a symmetrical form and I in unbroken, goldden-brown crust. i should be smooth on top and should have a certain luster, to which the term "bloom" has been given. The loaf as a whole, the crust, and PALE I Ziron is a tonic medicine for pal cess in the treatment of conditions o1 has'been shown in thousands of ca Ziron contains no dangerous, habit tonic, compounded in accordance chemists of high pharmaceutical skil The Scientif Many men and women, grateful write about Ziron, hoping their ex "I was very nervous; had bad head, sleep well at night," writes Mrs. La Tenn.

This flavor is not easy to lescribe, but is familiar to those who iave tasted the wheat kernel. (EEP IROOD SOWS IN WINTER AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE L During the winter the brood sows ihould be maintained as cheaply as )ossible, but at the same time they nust be properly fed in order to far ow a large number of healthy, well rown pigs in the spring. Best re- L ults are obtained when sufficient food s given to produce daily gains on the - ows of one-half or three-fourths of a )ound. To (1o this the grain feed nust be limited, and diluted with some L oughage, for unless the ration has ufficient bulk, the sows will become onstipated and hungry, due to the un- L listended condition of the digestive ract. Legume hays are the chief oughage available at this season, and heir use will cheapen the cost of :eeding. Either alfalfa, clover, soy-bean, or !ow-pea hay makes an excellent rough ige, and when fed, little or no high-j )riced protein concentrate is needed ;o balance the corn. Bright, leafy al 'alfa hay gives the best results of any )f these roughages. Alfalfa meal is iimply the best grade of. alfalfa hay :hopped into a meal. Clover hay con ;ains almost as much nourishment as ilfalfa hay, and soy-bean hay, cut and :ured when the beans are almost ripe, L is a very nutritious feed.
