It Is In the little things nnd smnll wastes that multiplied by hundreds, make tb" crent wastes In many homes. 8" Hxample speaks louder than wordR, m If the house mother w!hcs to train maids or children -to he thrifty, -he must first be thrifty herself. It takes but a moment's thought to turn off thu light when leaving a room, even for a short , time and the turning off i of the gas" from the range before re-I re-I moving a dish, should become second i habit. ' How many women leave the soap (Ion ting In the dishwater while washing wash-ing the dishes Instead of using the little lit-tle economical soap shaker which holds even the tiny bits? The same habit Is noticed when doing any cleaning about the home, soap floating In the scrubbing pull, Instead of resting in a dish where it can be easily reached when needed, China and all crockery Is so costly now thut we must of necessity take caro of the household supply. When wiiihlng dishes they are often nicked or broken by striking the handles of the pnn; turn the pan so thut the handles arc In front or a little at the side, out of range when bundling the dishes. Use triplicate dishes on one burner to save gas; the heat of tho burner will cook three things In nearly the time used for one. "A stitch In time" nnd "a penliy earned" are proverbs so well known that It It; trite to mention them, yet we need to constantly remind ourselves our-selves that a nlckle Is the Interest on a dollar for n year, und It. Is not parsimony parsi-mony to save, but something of which to he proud In these days of costly living. If making ginger bread, add a cupful cup-ful of cold coffee Instead of the boiling boil-ing water; save the coffee and Improve the cake. Cold coffee may ho used In spice cuke, in place of milk; thickened with gelatine and weired with cream It make: n dnlntv dHfert. A Miiali olt of butter, too small to seem of use may be saved nnd when six smnll bits are added, one will have enough butter to season a dish of veg-'"Mm veg-'"Mm "!.,. iinthlnt; be wnsted." Is a fine motto to have framed In our kitchens. |
