NEW TOOLS YOU WILL WANT
FOR YOUR KITCHEN.
One of the greatest pleasures I,
derive from a trip to the city, or froie!
the receipt of a new catalogue, ie the
opportunity to visit stores which carry;
kitchen equipment, Or to gaze at the,
pages illusteating'sefeh appliances, In,
perfect contentment I ean wander ,feri
houes among coutiters of- pets and ,
pans. Likewise 1 epend many an evene
in happily by looking at pictures, of
thee utensils. Usually a few articles
are ordered while "the•epirit ie will
ing," het many others are cireamecli
about Solmantles before they are
bought or discarded ae uneseelleial.
The accumulation of a few klechen
eevices from year to yeav is an ex-
cellent method af equipping any home
workshop if the purse is not so fat as
one wishes it were. It is M thie way
that I keep my kitchen lip -to -date.
Since my collection of workingatools
• has been improving during the last
few years, I have decided to tell you
about the ddations. Every article of
which I an going to relate has proved
helpful in, my week, sufficiently so
that I consider it a good iii eitnZen
No deubt you started houeekeeping
just as I (lid, when the saucepans had
but One Hp. This worked all right
for those of us who me gight-handed,
but rt certainly was awkward for a
left-handed guest or member Of the
,family who tried to pang a eiguld hem
these uteneils. •The procedure was not
only einecult, but it also resulted as a
rule, in spilling some of the food ,on
the table or stove. All ihe pans 'and
kettles I hive puechased recently have
two lips, one on each side.
And then thele has been an im-
provement in the handles. I used to
'buy a kettle after making cer'tain that
the handle was strong, nevee thinking
whether it would carry the •heat or
not. Sad experiences have trained the
to look at handlee; and if they are of
the bail type I select one which has a
wooden piece in the centre to hold to
In lilting. My teakettle has a sta-
tionary handle --that is, one than can-
not fall down against the kettle and
become se hot that it will been the
. , .
I also have a waterless cooker which
le a favorite. It is aluminum and.has
a lichethat clamps on. 1te bag° is of
steel, and in between this and the bot-
tom of -the kettle is a layer of asbestos,
This interlining- does away with the
danger"of burning foods, so no Water
need be used in cooking. Consequently,
all the natural flavor is reteleee. I
place potetoes, other vegetable:4, and
meats in -this kettle without adding
Water, and bake them on top of the
stove. Pies, cakes, muffins, and other
food e are cooked in this ufensil at
rush times whene the oven is filled.
'While these foods are biking, a valve
in the lid is left open so the steam
in the kettle will escape. , Thi e inex-
pensive device is fine to use ail the
time, As well as when there are
threshers, silage and wood cuter, or
any large crowd to be" cooked. foie It
'is not heavy. I prefer a utensil that
is not se big and clueney and heavy
,as those our graedenethers :used.
Another little article that I like,
even though it is not used. every day
ley any means, is the egg slicer, Since
seewi ,hardeooked eggs as a, garnish
on salads, spinach, and many other
dishes; it, is fine to be able to cut the
egg in thin rounds quickly—in fact,

Brain -Power Secrets.
Large foreheads do not always -mean
large 'brains. The man with -the deane,
shaped head may after all be merely
an'ordinary.individual oi no particular

medical psychologist disclosed some
of the secretz of ,brain -power in hie
,presIdential address to the Ethological
Society. The frontal lobes—that part
of the brain' behind the forehead—are
the chief centre of intelligence and
