Another Summer Kitchen 
For five years I lived in a house with 
a long open front shed adjoining the 
kitchen and connecting with the barn—a 
fashion very common in. the New Eng¬ 
land States north of Connecticut. _ In 
this shed, opening from the “real” kitch¬ 
en. was a Summer kitchen which was 
such a cool, delightful place to work in 
that Mrs. Spencer’s letter on page 764 
immediately brings it to mind. A floor 
had been laid by the former owner of the 
house—a carpenter—and a light frame, 
a sort of magnified “canopy,” had been 
built of lath and covered, top and sides, 
with mosquito netting, which effectively 
excluded the flies, but let in every wan¬ 
dering breeze, and a pleasant diffused 
light without direct sunlight. A wood 
stove (in these days one would have an 
oil stove), a shelf or two, cooking uten¬ 
sils and a chair completed the furnish¬ 
ings, for it was a little place, just about 
the size of Mrs. Spencer’s, I fancy. There 
were no paint or windows to clean—noth¬ 
ing to clean except the floor! Dishes 
were washed in the “big kitchen,” and 
our Summer meals were often eaten there 
too—breakfast always, as I remember, 
since it. was tireless and free from kitch¬ 
en odors. I have seen other attempts at 
Summer kitchens in woodsheds or out¬ 
buildings, but no other that was simple 
and cheap, and at the same time light, 
cool and airy, and secure against flies and 
mosquitoes. Owners of adjoining sheds, 
please copy ! 
To my mind, one of the pleasant fea¬ 
tures of Tiie K. N.-Y. is that “family” 
atmosphere which leads to an exchange 
of suggestions, almost as we exchange 
notes on this or that at some community 
affair. A recent correspondent advises 
us not to choose new-laid eggs for eponge

cake. Perhaps other readers have dis¬ 
covered the superiority of “waterglass” 
eggs for this purpose, and for the same 
reason, doubtless: a partial evaporation 
of the watery content. Angel cake In 
mid-Winter seems like a luxury* but is 
really economical made with eggs “put 
down” in April—and it can be had in 
perfection. 
Before I close I want to ask if some 
of your Cape Cod readers won’t give 
recipes for those wonderful chowders that 
Mr. Collingwood describes so eloquently? 
I spent a never-to-be-forgotten vacation 
in the home of an old sea captain there, 
and cajn endorse all he says—but I 
failed to secure the coveted recipe.

Removing Lime from Teakettle 
Our well water contains much lime. It 
agrees with the family, but not with my 
teakettle. Even the use of an oyster shell 
does not prevent a heavy coating of lime 
on the kettle. Having read recently that 
a few days’ soaking with vinegar would 
loosen the lime, I tried it, but found that 
a few weeks instead of days were needed. 
Finally I was able to scale off the lime, 
from one-fourth to one*half inch in thick¬ 
ness, using a hammer and chisel. At the 
very last my chisel slipped and made a 
hole in the teakettle. My new one will 
never need such treatment, as I shall use 
vinegar occasionally to prevent a heavy 
coating from being deposited. G. A. T. 
Why keep a fire going 
when you.are not cooking? 
A COOL kitchen in hot weather 
- is worth almost anything to 
a woman. And you can have a 
cool kitchen at an actual saving 
of expense. The Florence Oil 
Range cuts fuel bills radically, 
and the comfort you gain is 
beyond price. 
You burn the Florence Range 
only when you need it for 
cooking. That is one reason 
why it means both comfort and 
economy. The fuel used is the 
vapor from kero- 
sene, which is 
cheap and plenti¬ 
ful. Anything 
that you cook on 
a coal or gas range 
can be cooked 
quickly and well 
on this modern 
range. 
Easy to start 
To start the Florence you merely 
touch a match to the Asbestos 
Kindler. Quickly you have a 
clean, blue flame of intense heat, 
right close up under the cook¬ 
ing. This flame is a gas flame. 
It is not a wick flame, such as 
you see in an oil lamp. The heat 
goes into the cooking, not into 
a mass of metal or out into the 
room. The turn of a lever regu¬ 
lates the heat to any degree you 
wish. When you are through 
cooking, turn the lever and the 
flame goes out. 
It is a joy not to have to sh ake 
the stove, not to have to bother 
with ashes and soot. Occasion¬ 
ally you fill the kerosene reser¬ 
voir, and that is all. The reser¬ 
voir is made of metal and is 
non-breakable. 
Clean and beautiful 
Porcelain enamel (either blue or 
white), black frame, and nickel 
trimmings make the Florence 
Oil Range an object of spark¬ 
ling beauty in any kitchen. The 
Florence is simple in construc¬ 
tion and very easy to keep clean. 
The portable Florence Oven, 
with the “baker’s arch” and 
patented heat distributor, 
means your baking will be even 
all over. It can be used on any 
kind of stove. Each Florence 
Range has an ingenious device 
attached to the legs, so that it 
can be set level if the kitchen 
floor is uneven. 
See it and read about it 
The most convincing argument 
for the Florence is to look at 
one. Won’t you examine one 
critically at a department, fur¬ 
niture, or hardware store? If in 
doubt where, write us for the 
address of the 
nearest. 
Ask us to mail 
you our booklet, 
“Get Rid of the 
‘Cook Look’.” It 
is free, and you 
will find it full of 
useful informa¬ 
tion. 
The Big 
Burner 
keeps the flame 
closeup under the 
cooking. This 
means economy 
of fuel.

Bedbugs Once More 
Here is my cure: As all the world goes 
by gasoline, so do bedbugs. Take a cup of 
gasoline and a piece of cotton (wadding) ; 
douse every corner of the bed and other 
places where they are, and the gasoline 
will finish them. Repeat two or three 
mornings, or as often as you notice any. 
This is no job, and every corner can be 
reached by gasoline. But, of course, keep 
a smoker away, for you want no light 
around. But gasoline does not stain any¬ 
thing, and the smell in the room is easy 
to get rid of by opening windows and 
doors while looking for the insects. If 
all who have this trouble will try this, 
they will get rid of them surely and 
quickly. mes. t.
