Show CARE OF THE KITCHEN. Clean Walls Are an Essential to Sanitary Cooking. It Is not only Important to know how to cook, but It Is equally Important Impor-tant to know whero to cook. Cooking Cook-ing In a dirty kitchen can novor pro-duco pro-duco good food. Tho Idea Is simply propostcrous, yet kltchon walls aro left for months sometimes for years without cleansing. In tho first placo tho kitchen wall should havo a light tint that tho mor-est mor-est fleck of dirt can bo seen; that tho sheerest cobwob can bo brushed away; that tho tiniest water bug can bo discerned. It Is all folly oxpcctlng clean food In a kltchon with dirty walls. Novor put n wall coating on a kitchen wall that is mixed with hot water or that has gluo In It, or sour milk In it It mixed with cold water. Ohio walls mado from horses' hoots colored up with cheap colorings do not Indlcnto good housekeeping. Tho gluo Is constantly flecking off, falling fall-ing into tho food and tho Idea of food flavored with gluo mado from horses' hoofs Is not appetizing. Kitchen walls to bo thoroughly satisfactory sat-isfactory should bo alabastlnod tho samo as every other wall In tho houso. Thoy should bo coatod regularly regu-larly In tho spring and fall of each year with a light tint. Tho caro of tho pantry requires constant attention. Tho walls should bo brushed ovor every year, tho dishes removed from tho sholvqs which should bo thoroughly wiped with hot water. If thoro aro ant holes or any other insects In tho pantries pan-tries a thick putty of tho wall, coating coat-ing can bo mado and all tho ant holes, oven small mlco holes can bo filled with it which will protect tho pantry from tho Incursions of dlsagrocablo insects and mlco. |
