To what can be accredited the woman’s hatred of saving steps, even though she complains of fatigue and extra work? What can account for the woman’s dislike of having her things handy? Is it money? No, because she often buys motors, “movie” tickets, dogs, jewels and garments in quantities far more than she needs. It is perhaps due to a past vastness of ignorance. But now when there are specialists descanting on the glories of saving steps, time and money there is little excuse. In this article one stumbling block will be removed and the kitchen can well transform itself into a room where the most methodical man can work and where any maid coming in for the first time will not have to use levers, telescopes, periscopes and what not to prepare the first meal. For the kitchen cabinet is the first plank in the platform of standardizing domestic work even as it is being standardized in the factory. This is the basic glory of the kitchen cabinet. Now, for the more important details of its makeup. [Illustration: _Courtesy of Janes & Kirtland_ A STEEL UNIT KITCHEN CABINET FLANKED BY BROOM AND DUSTER CLOSETS. SEE THE ELEVATION FROM THE FLOOR. THIS CAN BE BUILT-IN TOO] These cabinets group in one place the necessary tools and materials for getting together the meals of the house. They hold the spices, flour, sugar, bottles, pots and pans, sometimes linens, ice and gas or electric stoves, packages of cereals, etc., and they are the table, the bread board, the flour board, the flour bin and dish rack all in one. Here you can work where everything is within arm’s reach; you can sit at your work and not fatigue yourself. In short, you have a work bench at last and can feel as professional as the carpenter or the artist, and you must, if the kitchen is ever going to be as important in the life and best living of mankind as it deserves to be. Built of steel entirely in some cases, all wood in others, and a combination of both in still others, they are comfortable and worth while in the best makes. Of course in this product, as in all others, one must go to the best manufacturers who know their business and take an interest beyond the sale. When you buy a kitchen cabinet you must get the maximum comfort and utility. Go about and see which one you think will save you the most work. The all-steel cabinet, of course, is less responsibility to keep free of vermin. The wood type is a little more care.
