THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1920. f rv- (JZ-J-i . . 7 I 'J jT ' JT n Cb Easier Baking Days I? Mrs, Christine Frederick, the Distinguished Authority on Household EfEciency. ;. THAVB watched myself "and twelve Inches square, twelve choco w." t wrk and I know ' - 1U PV n? ,M ' tami that it Is not the reparation of the cake , aciuat - or s -which takes the time, but the gathering together of the material ' before we begin, and the clearing tip after finishing.. Whenever, we cook several , dishes at once- we save a great deal of time. This, Is because we can use the same bqwl and egg beater without separate washings. Also, and equally Im portant, once a person starts any ' piece of work she -becomes mora skilled and works faster the longer ' she stays at It. ' f-- . These are rny steps to make ess work of baking: ... L Decide on all the recipes In advance and the order in which they are to be pre pared. 2. Have the oven In first class baking condition. 3. Gather together all materials and utensils needed for all the work. This last Is most important because it is the stopping to hunt for a pan or the running to get another half cup of something' which delays the work. r Jn my baking plans I reserve one " bowl exclusively for beating the yolks of eggs, and a small platter especially for whipping the whites, and I use them straight through all the recipes without washing.? The measuring cups, one- for dry in gredients and one for liquids, serve the same end. By keeping a small pan of water on the table and hav ing a short towel pinned to ray. (belt I can wipe off any utensil so' that any useless tracking across to the sink Is entirely avoided. My one indispensable iool is a email, pliable spatula, like a palette knife, which I use to-Bcrape bowls, pans, etc. A bowl scraped with, a spatula is most easily washed. A high stool before my table enables' me to work restfully. . Most housekeepers now , follow my plan of writing recipes on sep arate 6x4-inch cards. When in use each card is placed on a hook' la the wall or on a shelf above the table, at the eye level. Even if a cook book is used it should be placed on a rack above the table, where it cannot be soiled during the cooking. ; .-.

As thB peanut bread had to rise for twenty minutes It was made next, before the cake, po that when both kinds-' of cake were baked the oven would be just ready for the bread. The icing and the filling of the two pie shells came last, Just before the cup" custards were made. :My sirAple Order of work, with the approximate time, was as fol lows: ' " , ; ; Minute.

Nor was the work done &t a very hur ried tempo, but taken in a moderate way and all done on a four-burner oi stove wjth a top portable oyen. The Important point was that I baked the whole time and did not spend oho moment tracking across the room to search for anything. In my . fwn kitchen arrangement the preparing table and the stove are adjacent," so that in the whole two hours, once I began, I never stepped away from, a surface about five feet wide r 1 ' .
