Make your head save your heels." Think, in making trips to pantry,
cellar or icebox if you cannot both take things and bring others on the
same trip._

_Keep a chair or revolving stool in the kitchen and whenever possible
sit down to work. Vegetable paring, cake beating and even washing and
ironing may be done sitting._
* * * * *
_Have a method in your work. Occasionally take time to sit down and
think over the day's work, and remember how many unnecessary steps you
took yesterday._

_Have your kitchen shelves arranged to suit your own height, so that
there is no unnecessary straining to reach up or bending over to reach
one set too low._
Supplying the Meat Flavor
There are many meat dishes very nourishing and wholesome
which are total failures because of their lack of flavor.
This lack of flavor seriously impairs their value in
nutriment. A little Armour's Extract of Beef will in every
case provide that touch of flavor which appeals to the
palate and finds ready response from the digestive juices of
the stomach. This extract is very highly concentrated, so
that only a little is required.
RICE SOUP
Dissolve one teaspoon of Armour's Extract of Beef in one quart of water,
add one half cup of cooked rice, and a tablespoon of onion juice. Add
one teaspoon of celery seed and cover closely. Simmer ten minutes and
just before serving add one fourth cup of sweet cream or a tablespoon of
butter. If too thick, add a little boiling water or milk.---MRS. W. V.
COPELAND, 227 N. LAKE STREET, TOPEKA, KANS.
SPINACH AND SAUCE
After spinach has boiled for twenty minutes in salt water, drain it and
serve with this sauce: Dissolve one half teaspoon of Armour's Extract of
Beef in a cup of hot water, add two tablespoons of butter, break in two
eggs and use half teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir constantly and cook for
a few minutes.--MRS. W. I. COLE, PUNTA GORDA, FLA.
TOMATO ASPIC JELLY
One fourth teaspoon of Armour's Extract of Beef, one can of Veribest
Tomato Soup, one half package of gelatine, three hard-boiled eggs, and
chopped olives. Heat the soup with an equal amount of water. Soak the
gelatine in half cup of cold water and dissolve in the soup. Add Extract
of Beef dissolved in a little water. Let cool. Add chopped hard boiled
eggs and olives. I
