A convenient kitchen table made of poplar and covered with zinc with an opening in the center through which the parings of vegetables or the scraping of dishes may be put into a pail sitting on the lower shelf. This saves soiling the floor and many steps while preparing the vegetables for cooking. It should be remembered that the pail underneath must be removed and the contents emptied into the garbage barrel after each using. It is not a garbage pail and should in no sense be used as such. Above the table hooks on which hang many smaller cooking utensils, such as paring knives, graters, spoons, scissors, or can openers, are all arranged to accommodate the housekeeper. MATERIALS: 12’ poplar. ¼ lb. 6-penny nails to construct table. 1 piece of sheet zinc, 12” × 30”, to cover the top of table. DIMENSIONS: _Top_: 1 piece 1” thick × 18” wide × 26” long. _Shelf_: 1 piece 1” thick × 10” wide × 32” long. _Legs_: 4 pieces 1½” thick × 1½” wide × 24” long. _Cleats_: 4 pieces 1” thick × 1” wide × 14” long. DIRECTIONS: After cutting legs, nail on cleats even with the top edge, measuring 14” for the bottom cleat. Measure 2” from the ends and sides of the top and nail on the legs. Measure 7¾” from the right-hand end and 9” from the side and make a hole 8” in diameter. Nail the bottom shelf at an equal distance from the bottom of the legs. [Illustration] WALL CABINET FOR THE KITCHEN (MADE FROM DRY GOODS BOXES) A comfort to the housewife is a kitchen cabinet, containing different compartments for spices and such accessories necessary in cooking.

Draw a line across the bottom and the ends of the box about 2” from the edge of the sides. Nail the sides to the bottom and the ends of the box about 2” from the edge of the sides, with outside faces on pencil line. Plane and sandpaper the edges until they are smooth. Nail the shelves in at equal distances apart to make four compartments of equal size. Place three of the salt boxes in each compartment. Sandpaper, stain, and polish.
