Paper 



Heavy, absorbent brown paper, on a roller, such as is used in meat 

 markets, is a great kitchen help. In breading cutlets or making croquettes, 

 for example, cover the table or the rolling board with paper and empty 

 the bread crumbs on it. After the croquettes are breaded, remove the 

 crumbs and let the same paper do duty for draining the croquettes when 

 they are fried. It may afterwards be folded up and burned, or given as a 

 titbit to the chickens, in either case saving the washing of a mixture of 

 egg and bread crumbs from the rolling board. 



Waxed paper, so essential for the putting up of lunches, lining cake 

 tins, and covering food in the refrigerator, may also be obtained on rollers. 

 Covered paper pails, lined with waxed paper, are useful for storing dry 

 left-overs. Paper cups, plates, and napkins are a welcome help in the 

 picnic lunch or the grange supper. The plates may be bought with linings, 

 or " insets," to be replaced by clean ones for a second course. Folding 

 paper cups should be a part of every school lunch or traveler's outfit. 



Fiber pails, washbowls, and tubs are useful because of their lightness, 

 and with careful handling they will last a long time. Breaks in the finish 

 may be mended by filling with a little putty, covering this with a piece 

 of stout cotton cloth, and holding the whole together with oil paint to 

 match the finish.
