Now,  with  our  knowledge  of  cooking,  we  must  link  some  knowledge  of
economy  and  cleanliness.  Scarcely  do  we  realize  into  what  vast  amounts  the
little  waste  here  and  there  would  multiply.  We  want  a  science  whi"h  shall
teach  us  the  use  of  every  article  at  hand.  The  refuse  which  goes  from  our
work  tables  often  contain  the  best  of  nourishment  which  should  be  utilized  in
some  way'.
It  requires  no  small  store  of  knowledge  and  carelessness  to  be  thoroughly
clean.  In  some  unseen  nook  or  corner  of  an  apparently  clean  kitchen  may  be
forming  the  deadliest  vermin.  From  the  very  cloths  with  which  we  wash  our
dishes,  may  be  coming  those  silent  workers  which  reap  down  whole  families
at  a  single  stroke.  From  the  simple  process  of  kneading  bread  may  come
serious  results.
So  let  us  strive  for  the  best  we  can  attain,  and  the  topmost  point  is  within
reach  of  those  who  will  climb.  For,  "Fate,  however  relentles  she  may  seem
to  be,  seldom  fails  to  reward  the  earnest  heart  and  willing  hands."

Let  us  be  perfectly  acquainted  with  the  quality  and  strength  of  the  food
which  comes  irom  our  kitchen.
And  then,  the  rosy  cheek,  the  sparkling  eye,  and  the  dimpled  chin  will  be
no  more  an  artful  mask.
