THE SEVERED FINGERS—A Ghastly Face' \ SCIENCE OF BAKING Modern inventions have made an exact 'science of baking and there is . "'little reason for failure with -even. ae delicate custard.. Every - stove' ma“u- . factqrer realizes the impdrLan.ee. of de­ pendable oven structure and ^builds his fahg-e on soiehtific principles, . .-. ..The. oven of today lias, .its. regula-" ,tor -which automatically .controls .th.?.' flow of gas. .nihor -.electricity. It 'is -almost -impossible to main-' .tain consistent results in baking with- i-but :the use -pf an oven- thermometer ■of some sort. If yovr oven hasn't. >a . regulator, but 'a thermometer. .It will pay for itself'many time’s over. ■ Of course, a knowledge of the heat . -requiran?ents demanded, in the cook­ ing of -each type' of food is essential. Women' who’ learned from experience that 12 corncob's would do the trick for a cake and.' that' 2 maple! sticks ’• ■ would keep the oven hot enough for a pie were the pioneers of the heat . regulated ovgn and worked ■ out -for ■ themselves what- the manufacturer ■ does for the present day. homemaker. Starting Cakes Qff C.akes require 'entirely different ©ven manipulation. The oven tempera­ ture should be low when the \cake is put in and gradually increased-until • the required temperature ',is reached to complete the’ baking., Three.' hun- dred-and- fl -fly-to-37-5- -d-eguepsl-EahnenL. height-are ■ good .. temperatures for most butter cakes. An. important, point regarding cake ’“baking is the* position of the pap ’n: the even.. .

Crisp cookies..should be baked in a hot- oven. Molasses cookies, which . .burn easily, -require, a cool- oven' of mot - inore than .35-0 degrees Fahren­ heit- ■ . . ■ Cakes-with fruit in' them require a moderate oven, but they must be thor- ‘ ojighl-y “baked “because this Aype of ! cake improves’ as it- stands' after bak- - ■' ln&- .. Prune honey cake will stay fresh for a full wgiek, butvit must be thor­ oughly baked in |the beginning.

As a deii, trifice-sale" is. knpwn . to . keep teeth white and ^oujnd and' gums firm and healthy. As a mouthwash a half tea­ spoonful .of-salt in a ..glass of water is pleasant and refreshing. Head colds may be relieved by using a halfbtea- spoonful of salt to a glass of water as a nasal irrigation. KJTCHEN CONVENIENCES If the kitchen- is small,- th'is^ takes, care of itself, but in large kitchens, it requires some study and experience to know just where it- is best for a certain .object to stand. Housekeepers there are .who place the wobdbox at the end of the stove farthest from the firebox. Five or six' -steps must be taken to replenish, the fife when,, if the box stopd at the' other end, the wood could- be: placed’ in the Stove without a single step. -Then there are other housekeepers who-bend over a stove, sink or table that is too low for their height. The' stove can be,’built upon blocks till it is the-right height,, and a, way should be devised to make the, table1 height satisfactory. It is Jij more difficult matter to remedy a- lbw sink, but. here, one can put the .dish­ pan on a, table, and. wash the., dighes . there. In order to prevent backache, . dp anything to'avoid bending .the back at an angle. Keep a'higli stool in.the' “klte-h-eur-for-qi-t-^^ more work while.sitting down; than, pne would believe' who had not tried ■ it. ' .Another most convenient article'for .the kitchen is. a box or bench ori which .the mopping pail may..be placed when mapping the floor or washing- paint. This bench saves one. bending to the floor, each. time, the mop. must bb wrung out, as. it is this stooping- which makes the work so very tire, some. I am W-eli aware, however,-that many women even in these enlight­ ened days, do not mop,-, but do all their floors on their knees. They thus spend an hour, when the floor- could be done in half the time. But as they would rather die than change their old fash­ ioned methods, nothing can be done about it. The. bench used whbn mop­ ping, can also be placed in. the ..yard . to elevate the clothes' : basketji when hanging out the wash. This will save the trouble of stooping ..to the ground' qe^ch?time to' get a. clean .'piece, oU li-iwm------------ A convenience when one is cooking, ; is a. wooden cleat, nailed'to the wall1- just above the cooking table. A strip of elastic may be adjusted to hold the cook book open," and here may hang all the. implements used in the pro­ cess, of ..preparing various articles of fpod,’ right within easy reach of the hand, of the cook. Above, blip cleat a closet containing spices, salt,- baking, .powder^ and •> other things used in cooking, is a convenience. COFFEE FACTS This is the best cup of coffee I’ve had for weeks,” said the man guest. a.t dinner — and that started, an- ar­ gument with, his wife that went on far intp the night. Yet he was right— she was a. careless’ coffee-maker. - - Servjng consistently good- coiKee is . no mere matter of luck.

' ' f , Proportion To Use While the exact proportion of cof­ fee to use in the making depends up­ on the individual taste,, two table­ spoons of ground, coffee to one mea­ suring'cup of water makes a beverage agreeable to the average person.,Two- third^ of a standard measuring cup is calculated as a servlng_ of coffee. Consequently four measuring cups of water will^make enough coffee for six servings. ■ After-dinner coffee-served in small cups is stronger than the brew.-Serv­ ed for breakfast. Three to four table­ spoons’ground coffee may bp used for each cup of water.
