A Tub Within a Tub for the Baby 



HIS ^lAJESTY, THE BABY, can 

 have a royal bath every morning 

 in a soft little tub designed to fit inside 

 the large tub of his elders. A seamless, 

 waterproof fabric is supported by a rigid 

 frame across the top of the regular bath- 

 tub. The small tub is located at the 

 front of the frame, so that the nurse 

 need not reach across it. The fabric 

 goes over the bars to make a soft bump- 

 er, and it can be removed easily and 

 laid flat for cleansing. When not in use 

 the frame can be hung upon a hook on 

 the bathroom wall. 



Preventing the Clogging of the Sink 



ANEW sanitary device is installed 

 in many of the new homes and 

 apartment houses, in Los Angeles, Cali- 

 fornia. It does away with the danger of

having clogged drain pipes in the kitchen. 

 The device consists of a removable pail 

 with a fine strainer trap in the bottom. 

 The enamel sink is constructed so as to 

 receive this pail, which fits snugly into 

 place, leaving no room for bits of food 

 to collect. The dishes are rinsed off 

 under the faucet, and all the scraps go 

 into this receptacle. As the strainer is 

 finer than in the usual type of sink, all 

 the small particles are caught in the trap 

 and do not flow into the drain pipes. 

 The strainer is removable so that all the 

 grease which has been retained in the 

 trap can be cleaned off. 



A Saucepan Which Is Also a Strainer 



A SAUCEPAN which may also be 

 used as a strainer is one of the lat- 

 est additions to kitchen equipment. Pour- 

 ing boiling water from a saucepan and 

 holding the cover on to avoid losing some 

 of the vegetables is always dangerous. 

 The new saucepan has a strainer equip- 

 ped with a rim on the pouring side of the

No need to scald fingers in draining 

 vegetables from this saucepan 



kettle in which holes have been punched. 

 In use, the cover is removed, the pan 

 picked up by the handle, and the water 

 poured out. The rim prevents the food 

 from spilling, but allows the water to 

 run. 



The pan is especially useful for boil- 

 ing potatoes in their jackets, since the 

 operation can be accomplished so quickly 

 that when the cover is put back, enough 

 steam is retained to burst the jackets. 

 The main qualification of the new sauce- 

 pan, is that the housewife is less likely 

 to burn her hands than with the ordinary 

 utensil.
