Ira Remsen, Chairman Don't be without reliable scales. Don't be without a set of tested measures, both dry and liquid. Don't be without a yard stick. Don't buy from a dealer or huckster who uses dented measures. Don't be afraid to tell your dealer if you are being cheated; it may be the fault of his clerk. Don't waste energy, time and strength by taking unnecessary steps. Don't fail to use your head to save your heels. Don't neglect your refrigerator; several million bacteria may be breeding in the drain pipe. Don't fail to make an intimate acquaintance of the sanitary paper* specially prepared for various household purposes. Don't have sink and table too low for comfort. Secure good light for sink and range, and don't have either in dark corner. Don't overlook covering drain boards with zinc or galvanized iron when the sink and drain shelves are not in one piece. The most sanitary sink is of white enamel, with sink, wall back and drain shelves in one piece. Fireless Cooker — The fireless cooker with radiator is almost as necessary as the range. Fitted with aluminum vessels and heating plate or radiator, they can be obtained at the stores, and are so complete that the amateur hesitates to make one at home, but many very good ones are made with a 50-pound lard can, a galvanized inner can for a lining and a filling of clean ashes as a non-conductor. The aluminum cooker vessels with tightly clamped cover and the radiators purchased at the department stores complete a very serviceable fireless cooker.
