To Save Labour in the Kitchen.

The kitchen cupboards and dresser drawers should be kept tidy day by day. Never let them get into such a state that they need a “good turnout.”

Have all your tins labelled clearly, so that no time is lost in taking lids off. and give each tin and jar its own shelf ami place.

Never let the flour-dredger, salt jar, etc., remain unfilled. Refill them as soon as they are emptied. Have sufficient, but not more than necessary, cloths in use. ami wash these out when they are done with for the day. They will then serve for several <lays without boiling.

Always have a supply of herbs, raspings and spices ready to hand. An hour in the evening spent in preparing these saves many a moment when preparing dinner. Lastly, clear as you go. Put things in their places as soon as they are done with. Hot water is generally handy, and even when dinner is being set ved kitchen spoons, plates, etc., may be washed and put away.
