A glance at a shelf in the kitchen cupboard will give the rea- son. On it is a row of 'medium. size malted milly bottles. These are filled with_different sizes of tacks, large and small nails, screws, picture booke, brass hooks, gilt headed tacks and one contains corks and glass stoppers of yarious sizes. The shelf below holds the large ani small hammers and large screw driver and a wooden box the small screw driver, gimlet, tack/pullbr, awl, picture wire, fle, wrench and tweezers, / Handbags which have become too shabby to carry longer hang bendath the lower shelf and centain curtain fixtures, ends for custain rods and poles, brackets, brabs rinss,.etc. etc, and a handsaw hangs near by. - Now if you will step Into the pentry you will find I have made use of glass Jars for many things in there. There are several of those large, |square ones with glass tops one sees/ in stores fllled with. candy, and in them Indian meal, rye meal, graham flour, ~oatmeal, etc. Common jars which have become nicked, perhaps, and not quite airtight for canning, 1 keep filled with tapioca, rice, raisins, currants, citron, soda and everything one uses often, which should be kept from air and dust, but in sight. Peanut butter jars and the small malted milk bottles are just right to hold, nutmegs, whole' cloves and all- spice,- ginger root, sage and mustard seed, and many other good things the busy housewife needs at this season of the year, when pickling, preserving, ete. - - Speaking of pickling reminds me of an easily prepared and tasty relish we make when cucumbers are plentiful. A Tasty’ Relish—Grate cucumbers and ‘onions fine, proportion three cu- cumbers to one small onion, little salt, and pour over this ‘cold vigiegar. Puf in jars an This makes a de- licious filling for gandwiches, Althoush we Have s yet no didbov- ery column, T am going {6 send three which may be helpful. Satisfactory_patty cases may be made from a Fch pie crust rolled thin, cut in large circles and baked on the bottom of a set of inverted cup cake tigs. Perkmps some do not know that a brown and flaky erust is more easily obtained if brushed over with cream or_milk just before baking. ‘When “preparing salted peanuts, if they are set in the olive oil in a wire croquette basket thev wil] cook muct more_evenly. A teaspoonful of vinegar added to the hot.lard just before frying,dough- nuts keeps them from absorbing fat. £ ONE OF THEM. ORDERLY LITTLE PICKLES PRETTILY PUT » UP.
