ECONOMY OF LABOUR

Economy of labour is in a way as valuable as money-saving, and no house-, keeper should be i>xtrnvagant with her strength. No mat lor how well and strong she is, -.he should never stand at her worl; when slu- can sit down to it. When she is preparing vegetables for cooking,' or mixing s.'.iad dressing, or ironingsmall pieces, or any thing else that she. can do as well seated as standing, she should have a chair at hand. She may feel she is well enough now to take libeir-i ties with her forces, but there may come. a time when she will need nil the vitality: she has stored. It is folly to expend it unnecessarily. lioro than this, she should save her*' self work wherever she can. Her tubs—• if she has set tubs—and table should bo covered with white oilcloth, that she can wash ofi more easily than she could 1 wood. She should have boards on which.' 1 to stand pots or pans that would leave .black marks, and newspapers should al r ; ways be at. hand to put under wet or: dry dishes, to lay under lamps which, are to be filled or trimmed, to spread on the floor near the stove when cooking l : in deep fat is going on, or any culinary! •operation which means spattering o»i spilling. This will be an economy ol; labour, in saving the otherwise endlesf ; scouring of kitchen tables.
