You io OME DAY, Mrs. Housewife, while S you are attending to the com- plexity of duties which make up your housework, juste for experiment count the number of steps you take ‘rom the time your first task is under- taken in the morning to the last one before you sit down for your well earned rest at night. Or, wear for a day a pedometer which wil record the number of miles Xou have walked just in your own ho The result of either experiment will astonish you. You will no longer wonder why you are so tired after a day of simple housework. Perhaps it will occur to you that some of those steps, some of that exhausting mile- age, could be eliminated if the matter were given sufficient study. Expert attention has been brought to this subject in connection with the “Better Homes in America’ campaign. One housewife’s steps were counted, It was found that in the course of the her steps numbered 27,840—nearly it miles. Half of that distance was Nvalked in a poorly planned kitchen. She had been taking 10,161,600 steps a year, half of which could have been aved. How to put housekeeping on time-saving and self-saving basis is one of the things that will be shown at the Better Homes exhibition in this city next week, But here are some tions culled from the many demonstrations that will ,be made thei and that every housewife may try one in her own home, and save from two to three miles a day in her work. SAVE TWO MILES A DAY ,IN YOUR KITCHEN. ‘The kitchen should be small, with no mi) all Space than is necessary to accommodate the furniture. The sink, love, table, cabinet and cupboard hould be placed close together. The cabinet should be put between the stove and the sink, within reach of both water and raw materials. Inder the sink should be placed a urbage-pail that opens with a foot-lever, with a shelf at the right. The sink should hold two dishpans, cne for soapy water and one for rins- ing. The eypboard where the dishes ive put should be only a step away. * drawer in the cabinet at the left slould hold the kitchen silver. Other dishes are put on a wheel tray and carried to the dining-room cupboard, which should be situated near the kitchen door. The icebox should be placed next to the range, in order that food may be taken ont of it and ‘put on the stove with one motion, Of course the" icebox should be solid and shut out warm air. : An important small item is a kitch- en stool. If the kitchen is very small, this can be pushed under a table when not in use 7 The kitchen stove should be raised on a pedestal, for the sake of cleanli- ness and to aybid strain upon the back of the cook. Light instead of shadow falls into the oven and prevents the burning of food and of the cook. A double drainboard costing less than $2 will cut dishwashing half in two, A sink the right height for the heuseworker saves strength, A jit- ney wagen which can be wheeled around the kitchen with necessary equipment and food saves many hours of labor in a week. Removing the sill between the din- ing-room and kitchen so that a tea- cart may easily be run between the rooms cuts down the work of serving nieals, ‘Two shelves over the kitchen THE KIDDIE Copyright, 1 A spoon, 2 saucer and 2 cup — just CONMNG Up.

ONE-FIFTH OF A MILE SAVED IN THE DINING-ROOM. The china and glassware in the din- ing-room should be ‘kept near the kitchen door. On the other side of the kitchen door should stand the sideboard. The use of a wheel tray to carry dishes to and from the kitchen reduces steps from about 360 to 160. The tray can also be used as a serving table while the meal is go- ing on, This makes a dally saving of 570 steps, or about one-fifth of a mile, In a year this amounts to 208,050 steps or seventy-eight miles, — * FOUR MILES CAN BE SAVED :N CLEANING HOUSE. Do away with the general cleaning day and clean one or two rooms every day, ‘Collect your equipment and keep it all in one place; not enly the brushes, brooms and dust cloths, but soap, Cleansers, fioor oils and-furnt- ture finishes as well. In the arly part of the week work on the top floor; at the end of the week clean downstairs so that the living rooms which are used: most on Sundays may be spotless when the day comes around. Instead of removing the lighter fur- niture, rugs and bric-a-brac frgm the room, disarrange the furniture as lit- tle as possible. Place the chairs on the bed or couch and cover them with a sheet. Put china and ornaments into a drawer, Leave the rugs on the floor and use a yacuum cleanes, Feed the Brute Favorite Recipes By Famous Men By JULES J. JUSSERAND. (Ambassador to the United States From France.) Radish Salad, HE French Ambassador pfesents a his compliments and begs to state that he does not believe that any dish or food is more palata- ble than a salad of radishes, the radishes to be cut in very thin slices and to be sea- soned with the usual salad dress- ing. Editor's Note. This salad will be ut its best if the foundation upon whieh the thin slices of radish are pluced is made of small, crisp leaves of romaine, ‘THé usual dressing—French, of course—prepared in this way: To one tablespoonful’ of lemon or vinegar add three Jaleapsoatg of the best olive oil, a dash of black pepper and g half teaspoonful of salt. Beat well with a silver fork and add enough paprika to give it a ruddy @eolor and a rich flayor., If the salad dish is rubbed with garlic it will do no great harm to the mixture, , (Copyright, 1922, by the Bell Syndicate, ‘Inc.)

Now, the conjugal variations on that theme are simple and obvious, Suppose your wife weeps at breakfast table, Calls you up five times during the day, Makes you wait an hour for dinner, Serves your most abhorred dessert, Presents you with a bill for a new long-skirted suit just as you're set- tling down to the evening paper, Insists on telephoning the Joneses to run in and make a four for bridge— Instead of allowing you to read and snooze in peace, And, to crown a perfect day, sug- gests before the company that you bring Sut your last bottle of boot- leg Scotch Which you were saying for stolen and solitary consumption— According to Coue, you won't let your mind dwell on these vexations, Instead of ‘harboring ideas of pas- sion"’—a full-sized grouch against your bosom‘s partner; ¢ Instead of ‘the blank recognition of evil''—of her darnfoolishness— Simply put yourself to sleep, repeat- ing sweetly: “Day by day, in every way, getting better and better! “Say it with faith!’ Or, if you are a wife And your husband has been late every night to dinner for a week, And his home brew has exploded and leaked through the floor into the apartment beneath, And he hasn't bought a new car for three y 8, And he never hangs up his pajamas, And his stenographer® dresses alto- gether too well for the galary he says he pays her, . And he can't understand why the the my wife's bills are always a little bigger than your allowance, And he likes to go to the movies three times a week, * And he gets fat and doesn't CARE, And he never, never, NEVER says ‘'I love you''—— Once more, accbrding to Coue, don't scold the poor man Or weep on his shoulder, or on mother's shoulder, or on some shoulder more dubious— Just close your eyes and intone peace- fully: “Day by day, in every w: band's getting better and better: “The greater your faith,” it Is writ- ten in the bright lexicon of auto- Suggestion, “The more radical and rapid Will be your results Then, there's the Coue treatment of particular suggestions, Thoughts destined to combat and overcome particular evils.
