In planning or building a home it is of the greatest fmportance that the relation of the Bitchen to the other rooms be con- sidered. The kitchen work is most osely associated with the pantry, anng room and the storeroom, cel- lar or woodshed. These should be located as near and conveniently as dossible to the kitchen, so-that- the jpurneys which must be made . so dften between these rooms will be as short as possible, thus saving many sieps and a great amount of energy.
